Winter in Rio Grande Valley (RGV) in our RV

Joanie and I debated where to spend our first RV winter while on the road, but we finally decided to drive our motorhome south to RGV. We used our Thousand Trails Membership and Trails Collection to utilize all the Encore Parks that are peppered all along Interstate 2, between Harlingen & McAllen, Tx. We started our winter trip by going south on Interstate 69E starting from Houston, through Rockport, then Corpus Christi and landing at our first Encore Resort in Harlingen, TX. Lot’s of construction on 69E just south of Houston so when we left RGV, we went north on HWY 281, then to 77 to I-10 and up to Conroe, TX. We were not going to go through that construction again. Now back in Conroe, we’re going to wrap up some final details before we begin our 15 week trek to Maine for the summer arriving around June 1st.

During our 13 week stay in RGV, we made a lot of new friends, saw a whole new culture first hand, went to Mexico TWICE, and one of those Mexico trips was spent going to the dentist and getting our teeth cleaned. RGV weather was great for the most part, but in the beginning was real windy. Our motorhome is holding up really well, and we’re finding living and traveling in it very easy and stress free.

UPDATE:
Joanie & I went to Mexico a week before Christmas in 2019 and the fee coming back over the bridge to the US side, went up from $.25 to $.30 so be sure to bring a quarter and a nickel for each person.

DISCLAIMER:
We are in no way experts or professional mechanics. But being a journeyman millwright for years & being EX Military, has proven to be very helpful in my lifetime learning how to care for & maintain all sorts of machinery & equipment like: helicopters, airplanes, tanks, motorcycles & many types of other vehicles. That, along with 18 months preparing & upgrading our RV before we went full time, & now traveling for several years has gained us a lot of knowledge. Regardless of what we recommend, consult a professional if you're unsure about working on your RV. Work you perform or products you purchase based on any information we provide is at your own risk.
