I drive through Chapala to the new RV park. Retired life in Ajijic, Mexico on Lake Chapala. RV Life. Projects at home in the mountains of central Mexico, our USA travels in a 40' Monaco motor home, or whatever else is on my mind today. :)
QUESTIONS I GET OFTEN ... ?
What's that camera with the 50 power Optical Zoom ????

Unbelievable ,I can Live for full year with 3000 dollar , great video
Man, what an inexpensive place to live if you're on a limited fixed income. Those cabins were great! I wish them all the luck in the world in their endeavor. Great video!
Robert Gardea
We love Lakeside. We will see how things look when we are about to retire. Only 8 more years to go.
Great road trip! And I most certainly appreciate that you own up when you misinterpret data, etc.
As for showing the RV park before it's completed, I like that because we can see the before & after. Hopefully, you'll have opportunities to record on the job-in-progress. That's always fun to see.
Thanks again ... you're the best!
Wow! really nice for $170 a Month I'm in Hell yea
Yeah, seriously! We'll be paying $520/mo in San Carlos!
Thanks JC for driving us around, always nice to see your videos. Take care.
Very nice of you to drive until the RV park and show here in the video. Thank you. Good place to start 👍
Awh I was about to ask you about RV parks. Mr. JC we appreciate your time for doing all this. 😎
Yay having morning coffee and a JC video I can hear the birds here n there too. Cool park set up. Nice views , good prices and Alma is a really nice woman. I can imagine it even nicer as they add more landscaping , trees and plants n flowers. Thank you
I enjoyed the tour and the little casitas. I could live there very easily I believe. Maybe something a little larger for rent? I’m wishing Alma and her family good luck in their endeavors. I think she will do very well.
Thank you Jerry. Great information to have about the area.
Thank you for the tour we have been waiting for a RV park like this one. Ran by good friendly people.
That looks like a great RV spot. What a beautiful view. Thanks for the tour. 🐱💞
I like seeing this RV park in the making. This looks great already!
This is great Jerry thank you!
I think another beautiful place. I would want a space there myself. Loved it. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for the beautiful overview of the new RV park.
I think it’s a beautiful park. A 10 min drive to Chapala is awesome. Thanks for great information. 👍👍
That was great info Jerry! Thanks. Will keep that location in mind!
Fun views. Beautiful!🌅🎆
A great Video!!! Thank you that was fun❤️
Jerry, thank you for showing us around, and if I were planning to come down for say the winter, I would look seriously at one of those cabins seeing as I do not own an RV anymore. Once again a wonderful video and such nice people too.
Another winner! How cool that people interested in rv travel in Mexico have such a convenient spot for a home base! I could definitely be happy living there! Gives the opportunity to also experience other parts of Mexico! Thanks for sharing.
Oh no worries!! I’m sure we can all see the potential in that place!! Great video! 😁
This is great...
Its going to be awesome when its done
Go back later when the park is more complete....it will be interesting to see the difference! Enjoyed the video!
Thanks again Jerry for the tour to RV close to Chapala. Owners seems to do a great job in developing this park.
I continue to enjoy your videos and hope one day to visit the area. Judy (Las Vegas)
Nice scenic view to that New RV Park which was top notch kinda place. Camara was more stable with less glare. We really enjoy your down to earth layman's terms home made videos JC.
Mahalo for these choice videos.
I can see the possibility's of the RV park, nice tour JC❤️
Great video Jerry......I hope soon I can stay at this great rv park......seem to be very friendly people.....I might just try to get in on the ground floor
Gracias por tu video.!
I did enjoy the tour today. Thank you. Enjoyed the ride and scenery as well as the RV park. They're going to do very well with that. I hope you'll take us on some tours of Chapala also. I've seen some of it on CZcams but I know yours would be great. No matter where you go, it's fun to tag along.
Always interesting what you come up with. Thanks!
I ❤ your videos. Especially the ones when your on the road. It feels like we're riding with you. 🤠👍🏼👍🏼🤠
Jim,we are...😂 No, I love it too....
Great video. Great RV park. Great infor. Great Lady. Thank you. Thank you.
I like your videos brorha. You show the real life in mexico
Amazing! I want that little one they are just finishing! (I wish). Maybe one day!
Hi Jerry and Lynn...
Thanks for sharing this information with us.
I enjoyed seeing this new Park and the prices
seem to be very reasonable...!
Have a great day and be blessed.
Hi mr. J C have a good day and a good weekend, good luck for your guys.
What a bargain! Incredible views!
great tour JC. Nice cassita at Olma's place.
You can always do a 2nd tour visit of the RV Park later
I would stay there in a heartbeat... muy agradable
That was a very nice tour and interview, Jerry.
Bendiciones!
It looks like her bathrooms, showers could be for handicap? That would be great!!! But could really see the floor in the bathroom shower. I think it's great...Thank You,For looking out and helping out your neighbors. Love it❣ I think we have forgotten to do this in America😔
Beautiful up there. Now I understand why more Volkswagon Bugs in Mexico. Their suspension would hold up under those road conditions. Great education and communication, thanks Jerry
My complements to you and your videos. You are informative and entertaining and I really like your videos that show us the area. The road trips are great! I'm in Japan so watching what you do really hits home. Keep up the good work.
The tile work is so beautiful there
Spencer.
Wow must be the go to guy. He gets a lot of praise on my Facebook groups.
Another great area introduction. Happy living!!:)
Another great tour. Guess it takes a while to really know your way around, for us that is!
What a nice lady and a nice place, thanks JC for this video and for asking alva to show you the cabin that's is in construction,im one of those people who like to see construction.
Great job.
Hello to Linn.
What a great idea. I just don't really like the grounds, but probably because it's new. Great video, and thank you, Jerry, for showing it to us.
Nice video thanks for sharing.
That RV Park looks really nice! Would love to see it in person! The owner seems like a nice lady! Thanks for the tour, Jerry!
Thanks for letting us ride with you today!!
I remember helping my grandma was her clothes with the Mexican style washing machine lol man I thought my arms were gonna fall off, tho I did enjoy using it, definitely a memorable experience from my childhood, great video, can't wait to see more! Greetings from New Jersey
Enjoyed your trip to the RV Campment.
JC, I've lived in Lake Chapala area (temp) for the past 4 yrs. I have seen more of the area on your vids than in person. Many thanks.
WoW they're doing a great job... lots of hard labour!
Thanks so much for your videos on the Lake Chapala area. Spent 2 weeks there a couple of of years ago & was the best vacation of my life
You are at the end of the dry season & about to start the rainy season. It would be interesting to see the change as things begin to green up with the rains. The area is beautiful dry. I can’t imagine how pretty it would be when green
I thought I answered this, but it disappeared. Its a good idea. I'm going to take a before the rains picture in the morning. :)
I have really liked seeing the area around Chapala, this place looks very nice and secure.
Another great vlog!
Love it. Good to know these place
Really nice . TY
I'd rent that 2 door cabin TODAY for a couple of years IF I could get my better half convinced ! LOVE these tours Jerry !
The cost of the sites are very reasonable, and she seems extremely sweet!
This is great if I buy an RV this will be great for that .
HAHA Funny Jerry! the camera trick :) Someone must have looked up your "quote" & had to prove you wrong huh? We ALL make mistakes, but many forget that.
I like just listening to your stories not trying to see what I can pick out what is wrong. Thank you for the wonderful video I could smell the coffee too !! What a pretty view of the valley :)
Good video amigaso
Thanks so much for this interview/information! I'm still considering living in an RV for awhile (after I sell my current home in the U.S.) I really appreciate and enjoy your videos! Hope you and Lynn are doing well!
We are well, thank you. Igualmente. :)
Its neat like it is. .everything takes time
Nice camera, Oma that is a nice cabin and rv park, I hope you do very well with this project.
Well, its not my project. Just a video for me. I ran into that lady at Walmart a few days ago and she reported that my video has generated some new business and she's doing well. :)
Now that's living, cruising around in your convertible beemer in Mexico!
Thank you JC....greetings from Guanajuato!!!
Say hi to Erin's Travels for me. :)
You bet I will..!!!
You are fascinated with the bathrooms
great vedeooooo
I love it. Good info. Im jealous of Alma she had the pleasure of knowing you and talking to you. I wish my husband and I could meet you. You should imviye all your viewers for a. Weekend cook out. We all love you and Lynn. My best to you both.
That'd be some big party!! 31K???
👀👀 *That place is pretty nice and the price is awesome* 🎯
Very nice people .
Wonderful idea...hope to meet in person .
I loved the tour. I was wondering about the Lake RV parks and their prices. ...That is if I can talk my hubs into ever attempting to come down and try out living there...for a few months.
Wow! JC you really went out of your way on this video great information good stuff to know. We are looking into moving to Mexico to live a better and peaceful life we don't have an RV. But it sure be nice to rent a home or an apartment from there for what they are asking or maybe even less?.. And what a view it looks a little dry though is that normal not so much greenness when looking down into the valley but beautiful thanks JC for this information.
A week after the rains start .... mid to late June ... that view will look like the Emerald greens of Ireland ... The rains wane in late Sept. It stays green until about November, then gets dryer and dryer until the rains start again. You're seeing the greenery at its worst during the year the first week of June. :)
I subed just because you seem like the kind of person I would like as a neighbor.
to be able to keep doing more they need customers so showing it now is a great idea. I bet the cabins are full all the time.
That is going to end up being a fabulous place. It already has great views, good pricing and even includes utilities and WiFi (although much like you, I suspect the WiFi speed there is not going to be anything to brag about and might not achieve the promised speed.) If a person or a couple want to live very affordably in the Chapala area and they already own a good size motorhome that they would be comfortable living in full time then they ought to hightail it down there and get a spot before they pretty everything up and the demand goes up along with the prices. It presently seems like a heck of a good deal and darn hard to beat with only being 10 minutes from Chapala and offering some real peace and quiet along with it, which is something I suspect is not all that easy to come by in Mexico :-) I think that you did a great job with the tour and questions and if you had waited until it was all gussied up there might not be any spaces left! As it is, I think you gave interested people a great heads-up to get in on a very nice and inexpensive living opportunity. I just hope the new residents also have cars or motorbikes to get into town for food, essentials, and entertainment.
P.S. You look much better in living color! :-)
You're right about your suspicion that quiet is a rare thing to find in Mexico. :)
I really enjoyed the trip. Great video. Steve
They have room for yours. :)
@@JCTravelStories You can read my mind!! Steve
Bring the drone. :) The summers here are cool and beautiful. We have two high seasons ... snow birds from Canada in the winter, and Sunbirds from your neck of the woods in the summer. 5200 ft elevation. Alpine altitude, tropical latitude. Eternal Spring. :)
@@JCTravelStories I hear you!! I think about it every day. The drone will add so much to your videos, you won't believe it. You will be amazed.
Saludos desde ajijic Jalisco ilove your videos
Gracias Jose! :)
Great to see that some more affordable options are happening in Lake Chapala! Perhaps you may see us yet! We won't have a second vehicle though...just a c-class under 30' and looks like a long ways away from anything... Yeah, that other park in Jocotepec is closed in summertime...and that's when we'd be leaving the hot coastline and wanting to get up into cooler weather, so go figure....
Patzquaro. Summer RVing in the mountains. Check it out. :)
@@JCTravelStories Thanks! Will do.
Wow, you sure opened that shower curtain in the women's washroom quickly lol
Cheers
That rv park looks pretty good. Unfortunately I have a dog I won't part with. Actually if it wasn't for my dog, I'd be living in Mexico now. I remind her of that every day.
Dogs are not a problem in Mexico. There's lots of dogs. Accepted everywhere even in restaurants. Coming to Mexico with a dog is no problem. There are rules ... current shots, vets statement of health ... but I've never heard of them actually checking the paperwork at the border.
@@JCTravelStories I've traveled in and out of the US and Canada with a dog,m and only once been asked is he was vaccinated but they didn't even make me product the papers. I imagine it's even easier in Mexico.
@@JCTravelStories I know if you come by air, you need the health certificate you get from the vet and you stop by the office for animal control and show it to them and off you go. I have a friend who will not bear to be parted from her dog. Her is the website she referred me to with info on this. www.mexperience.com/lifestyle/living-in-mexico/bringing-pets-to-mexico/
Wow
Although it's three years later I am just now following your awesome site as I'm thinking about checking this place out.
As you are driving us all around Jalisco....I couldn't help but wonder how did you get to keep your vehicles if you are Permanente?
Are they nationalized? I would love to see an informative video on keeping a vehicle in Mexico if you can fit it in! Thanks once again for this great informational video!
You could do an update in a year or so. Give her the heads up. Wishing Alma and her familia well🙂
Awesome video. I would like to visit from California some day. Take care JC
I think it is great. And is actually authentic to Mexico(the cosmetic stuff). I guess it depends who they are trying to attract to the place.
Nice
Just watched yours. Nice, too. :)
Thanks JC
Seems various shades of yellow and red and your colour paint of your home is quite popular in Mexico. Cheap rates! I wonder how it will look once the park is complete. The woman (Hala I think she said, I don't know how to spell it) said showers, so far there is only one of each in video. Quick glimpse but beautiful sink, similar style but different pattern tiled sink. Oh see more of another sink. They would make a killing if they had 1/2 = dozen of them cabins for RV'er park guests of smaller sizes with bunks, pool, & half dozen washroom with showers, refreshment stand /hot dog/fries, burgers, salads, drinks stand if I had the money and it were my land. Though it looks like they are just starting out and building their way up. Thanks for the great tour. I get for years and only pay for 20 downloads with Cogeco Cable but I get. Now a days you tend to get more then what you pay for and not less with Cable anyway. Wireless and not hardwired when I did the test just now.

Alma. :)
Great tour Jerry. I did find her place some months back doing a google search for RV parks. I didn't mention it to you then, thought it might be a bit far to drive. After seeing this video, I see it it not. Ever thought of opening up your own ;) You might need a good manager, and I work cheeeep! :D LOL.
If I had control of the federal zone in from of me, I'd put a couple of pad down there. :)
@@JCTravelStories And *I* would be your first yearly renter!
Hi JC,
Another great video. This question should have been asked last video. We have watched over one hundred videos about Lake Chapala all positive. We have planned for over a year and will be coming as soon as our house sells. A few days ago we viewed a video made on Feb 17,2019 by David Truly , he talked at the LCS Open Circle. He stated the crime has gone up to 38 % and that people are buying homes because they can’t find rentals. We did not take this talk as positive . For us his talk was the opposite of what we have been hearing. He appeared to be an expert on the area. Can you give us some peace of mind since we will be coming soon and need to rent . Thanks JC we value your opinion.
Rents are going up, the housing market is hot in the 200K range and flat in the 400 to 800 range. Affordable places in most ranges are available a little farther out from location, location, location in Ajijic. Crime reporting is up because expat groups and the local government have made progress in encouraging reporting of crimes. English speaking officers where you report crimes, phone numbers answered in English at the police dept, etc. That's part of what's talked about as increased crime. There are occasional upticks in cartel violence. 18 bodies were discovered just before that Open Circle talk just over the hill towards Guadalajara. A Canadian Expat was shot in Chapala just before that. Didn't know him and don't want to bad mouth the victim, but execution style slaying are targeted, not random. Cartel violence is serious, but it has little effect on our daily lives here on the north shore of Lake Chapala unless you're doing drugs, buying drugs, selling drugs, or starting your own cartel. Cartels actually hate attention. Multiple bodies are messages to the families of people involved in rival cartels. It all makes for a good speech to nervous expats at LCS. True facts don't necessarily get you to a true picture. Daily life here is calm. :)
it is true while you are not involved in the drug business, there is nothing to worry about, the bodies found are from rival groups, and they are a warning to others, they are not corpses of civilians
Loved this one! Did you happen to notice how the cell coverage was there? Do you think if one needed pretty reliable internet for work they could stay there at the RV camp?
Depends on the up/down requirements you have. Cell service would be fine, but cell internet here can be expensive. With the service she said is included in the RV Park, you'd get about 4-5 megs down and maybe 1 meg up. Not great. Dismal by other world standards, but you can stream Netflix, and surf. Email no problem. Skype conferences will work. It takes several hours for me to upload a video at that rate. Its DSL from Telmex. Fibre optic is not becoming available in the area, but probably not at that RV Park. :)
Haha! Our GPS has given us some pretty wild instructions, too! I think it is not so accurate in Mexico as Garmin would have us believe. Turning into El Rosario, it said 300 feet further than it really was.
In 2002 I came down the Mexican coast and it show me about 3 blocks out in the ocean the whole way. Its actually much better now. I can tell with my iPhone and google maps if I'm in my living room or out in the yard. :)
@@JCTravelStories Absolutely! Google Maps is the best way--it's what got us out of Culiacan when we got off track a bit. I'm sorry, but Mexican road signs can be a mite confusing . . . we made a LOT of u-turns! ;-)
