Tips & Recommendations

1Book electric hookup sites well in advance at popular campgrounds like Riana and Rio De Las Vacas, as these fill quickly during peak season.
2Bring extra water capacity, as some campgrounds have limited or no potable water available—this is especially important in desert locations.
3The high elevation and intense sun require extra attention to tire pressure, battery charging, and propane usage.
4Consider a portable solar panel setup for off-grid sites, and always carry leveling blocks as even "level" sites can have subtle slopes.
