OP here...
For the record the Peehanga Resort is awesome and we look forward to returning the next time we are in the Temecula area.
Next time when the area you should try
Pala Casino RV park just over the hill from Pechanga,really nice RV Park,they have a free shuttle from your campsite and back or its a short walk.
Having stayed at both a few times,I liked the laid back atmosphere there,smaller and less hectic and the prices for food and drink very much cheaper than Pachanga. The pools at the hotel are awesome,with outside bar and food. Plus the Valley is full of scenic drives, small fruit stands and wineries.
There is also the Pala mini mart next to the park,just a short walk,it has almost everything you would need and has a killer Deli,sandwiches, pizza that is the best in the Valley, all at reasonable prices,they also have fresh local produce and wines.
There is also a gas station there with angled pumps that are big rig friendly,easy entrance and exit.
