Mexico is Calling: We know the President of Mexico has stately publicly that the 2011/2012 Season will
be “Year Of T e Tourist” and has pledged Billions (not pesos either) to promote this campaign. In reality, the only way Mexico is going to put any dent in the Bad PR for RVers is Good PR, and that means having a signifi cant positive presence at the many RV Snowbird venues and in publications to their target market in the US & Canada. Unfortunately the Canadian Government has other plans, following the American lead and issuing yet another Mexico Travel Advisory. Check out our blog:
http://bajaamigos.net/canada-updates-yet-another-mexico-
travel-advisory/ for our take on this. We have included a list of contacts for those RV Snowbirds seeking another opinion

Exceptional Service in Yuma, Arizona: Driving and pulling my 5th
wheel through Yuma, Arizona, I experienced a bad vibration
and noise from my truck. We were close to Wal-Mart so I turned in, received permission to park my trailer, searched on the GPS to fi nd a service station that was close by and that may be able to help. Aſt er a quick inspection, I determined that my center U joint had failed which would
mean I should change all three. Our choice of a service centre was also the closest one. David Acosta, Southeast Diesel, 3130 S Short Way Ave, Yuma, Arizona, 928-314-0505.
I have never sent comments in to your
excellent publication before Sheila, but felt a need to do it this time. I realize everyone problems and needs are diff erent with their vehicle, and their reaction to each experience are diff erent, but my results this time were so exceptional with David and his service, response, price and compassion that I felt a need to pass this on.
