RE: language barrier
Never let a lack of language skills restrict you. The world is too big and too interesting not to travel anywhere. Lack of local language leads to all sorts of kindly and interesting people you would never have met if you had not travelled. Life is too short already. We spend winters in Mexico and have been going there for many years. Still have no strong language skills but we still communicate well with everyone. Except maybe some Americans lol. (I am British and they sometimes have a hard time understanding me.)

RE: Company in US which ships to Mexico
DSL ships to Mexico, but you would have to get the replacement to their offices.

RE: Just checking
we used volunteer.gov a lot. Go to the site, choose which state you want to go to, then click on the state. Shows state, federal, county parks etc. Be careful, some want more hours that others. Federal parks want 32 hours per site, Army Corps of Engineers varies according to where you are and what you do. We did this for 4-5 years. We are old enough that we don't want to clean toilets, our kids are grown up and we don't want to start again with that.

RE: Border wait times!
We crossed NB at Nogales March 17. Total wait time was 50 mins, but that included being the wrong lane and having to be redirected. No rig inspection, was asked the usual questions about food, but we were told that cooked eggs were OK!! They did ask for dog papers, though.

RE: Nogales crossing
ditto. We did not know to use the left lane, and although they did not get in my face, they did come and request us to move to the left. Of course, some of the vehicles in that lane would not let us in, but they were requested to move to the right, so they didn't make any better time by being stubborn and impolite. No signs up yet, so be sure to keep left going northbound. Our total wait time was 50 minutes, but no rig inspection. They did ask for the dog paperwork, though.

RE: Yes, off to Mexico - but ....
I have crossed at Lukeville with UK passport, and Canadian friends have crossed there too. Don't see why they wouldn't let an Aussie into Mexico. And my brother, who is an Australian citizen, crossed with us at Nogales last month.

RE: hwy 15
Drove down to Kino Bay last week. Lots of construction between Santa Ana and Hermosillo, with circulation and one lane stretches. Sorry can't speak for further on to San Carlos.

RE: First timer with year-round (and misc) questions
We have always needed two ACs in summer in Arizona, and would expect to need the same in Texas. Bear in mind the amerage of the campground. You will need 50 amps to run two ACs. A CG with only 30 amps will run one AC but if you use the oven, coffee pot, hair dryer or Micro, you will need to turn off the AC during that usage. With that in mind in the summer find a CG that offers 50 amps. Also in winter in Tucson we used a LOT of propane. It gets cold at night in the desert in winter.
