I am a long term ex pat, some 23 years in El Salvador and Guatemala, a bit in Mexico, Nicaragua, CR as well. Drove 800,000 km. in Central America over some 15 years, national plates.
Nice to meet you on line, excellent bloq, great wiki information, for anyone traveling to Central America, specifically to El Salvador and Guatemala, with or without a vehicle, I add to comments my "Primer for Travel in Central America"
Our Rain Forest project in El Salvador features camping. I add some websites that will take one off the beaten path.

Nice to meet you! We just checked out your website, and it looks like our paths will probably be crossing further down the road as well. We will likely be in Ecuador at the beginning to middle of March. The plan is to ship our cars from Panama City to somewhere in Ecuador at the beginning of March, and drive South from there. Given the weather situation in Tierra del Fuego, we hope to stay someplace (maybe Buenos Aires) for a couple of months while we wait for the weather to improve, and then continue our trip starting in November. We will definitely send you an email when we arrive in Ecuador, as we'd love to meet you and learn more about your plans. You might also be interested in some friends we have met on the road - their blog is at joydrive.ca.

Will you be passing through Ecuador? If you will we have a large yard where you could park your camper just outside of Quito. A very peaceful place. Let me know if you come through. We'd be happy to welcome you.
