Some posters are far to quick to condemn PP. Remember the OP is a newbie. Everyone has to start somewhere and PP, Kino or San Carlos are great spots to get your feet wet. All are very off road friendly, have good restaurants and lots of trinket sellers. No fears of getting lost and the OP does not need any Spanish! After a few days in any of those 3 spots one can consider going further. Not everyone wants to go inland on their first trip. If after a quick visit you do not like Mexico you are only one day from the border. The dust in PP is the same dust you encounter in Yuma or Q and hundreds of thousands of RV'rs go to those places.
