...But less than I had hoped for. There is a lot of great info, but you get the impression that half of it is filler. For instance there are 12 pages devoded to street signs that could have been reduced to about two. Some of the suggestions are a little difficult to fathom - Pg 10, talking about the import permit for your RV "Keep the original permit in a secure place and keep only a copy in the vehicle. You will need the original..." Well, where the blank is a safe place with convenient access when I am in Mexico with only my RV???
There are many interesting looking suggested itineraries for exploring Mexico, but the info is short on them. If you want to know about local sights, bring a regular travel guide with you. The trip from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas, Baja has 12 suggested stops, with only one campground suggested in each city. What if they are full? Are the other campgrounds (none specified) NOT suggested? Of the 12 towns, only 2 have rudimentary maps showing the location of the suggested campground.
With the experience of the authors, and a 2nd edition, I expected a fuller description of the available camping places and the facilities (or lack) available, and a list of dump sites, etc.. With the network of other RVers available to describe and rate places, this could be a GREAT book.

The most worthless book I have ever bought. I pity the poor traveler who tries to navigate Mexico with this. I really don't know where to start. Twelve dumb pages of road signs. Six hundred miles below the border is Culiacan; two million people...not on your map.
You are much better off asking for a map from your insurance man.

this book was in good condition but was very out dated and probably of not much use if one was going to rv in Mexico today. The book price was good but the shipping fees were about four times what the book was worth---overall not a good buy.

After receiving this book, my first impression was of disapointment. Seemed it lacked depth. But after going through it more thorougly, this book gets better and better. The itinaries section will really be useful along my "Guia Roji" map book. And yes, I will go to Mexico and bring it along!
