I'm glad that I read about Van Horn, TX in the FMCA forum. I am presently in Leadville, CO and will be traveling in our RV to Phoenix, AZ this fall before heading home in South Florida. We haven't made formal plans on our route yet which will be on I-10 going East but I will make sure that it doesn't include a stop in Van Horn, TX. Usually towns, especially in this day of tight purse strings, are happy for tourist dollars. When I can save some money on an overnight I feel obligated to support another business in town, ie. restaurant, gas station, tourist attraction etc. Good luck with your towns philosophy.
