Belize?

Yes, but about 15 years ago, pets were an issue. Now, probably a completely different story. It's the easiest way to get to Tikal, Guatemala.

This family did a similar drive in 1978 .... A long time ago, but they have also taken more recent trips. They tell a great story.

I have taken a bus from Cancun to Belize several times. Met a couple of folks who drove down, one all the way to Costa Rica. Border crossings would likely be a hassle but doable. I actually bought a book and planned to do it myself, by car, not Rv. Now that I have a TT it is on my mind again. The book is "99Days To Panama, an exploration of CA by Motorhome". It was written in 05 I think so may not be too far out of date. Also look at Moon and Lonely Planet guides, I use those when traveling CA. Not specifically about Rv'ing but would be good reading, especially about the border crossing.

Traveling by bus I have found the Yucatan area of Mexico and Country of Belize safe enough if you travel during the day and stay away from Belize City as much as possible. I am sure you could google some recent trips up or go to Trip Advisor or Lonely Planet forums and ask there. I know you must have papers in order and probably buy insurance at each crossing. Pets would likely be a problem, but maybe not. Always a interesting trip in many ways. We took a bus to Chetemal and then a shuttle to Belize city last year. The border official wanted to charge the exit fee to Belize even though we had paid it in Cancun. We said no, he said ok stay in Mexico...so we paid. Not a lot of $$ just a hassle. If you take it in stride and don't get upset easily I think it would be fun. Let us know how it goes, I still would love to try it myself. I am sure someone on here has actually done it in a RV?

I have been there a number of times years ago,,, don't know if I would do it today, the crime and corruption has gotten worste....I just don't need the hassles anymore.....

We are talking of doing it in the winter of 2016. We are used to traveling Baja, Mx but will have to do alot more info searches and planning for that trip.

We were in an RV park south of Cancun a few years ago when some people left to go to Belize and south - they were back in a few days saying the roads were so bad they turned around and came back.

We have been to Belize a few times by plane to dive Ambergris Key and went inland to the zoo and Mayan ruins and do not recall many roads large RVs would enjoy. Depends on where you are going and what you are driving.

We have also heard you have to get all your paperwork done in Mexico of course - but then when you leave Mexico that paperwork is cancelled so coming back you have to do it again - don't know anything about insurance there either. People do it and we see people in Mexico from Europe and elsewhere who do it but we have not yet gotten the call. We find Mexico to hold our interest most winters.

We have travelled Mexico from 2003 t0 09 then went and traveled all of Central America in the winter of 09 and 10 with a 29 ft. class C. A very enjoyable trip a little challenging at the borders but usually someone there for equivalent of $20.00 will guide you through the maze.
We boondocked in the parking lot by the Balboa Yacht Club in Panama City and were lucky enough to find a Japanese sailboat going through the canal and we hired on as linesmen.no pay but food and sake, great experience.
A most wonderful trip great people and great memories. We have wintered in Texas for the past three winters and are going to be crossing at Pharr in the morning to travel Mexico again. Would have been this morning if it wasn't for some electrical problems after hooking up.

Yep. Three years ago. Took about 7 weeks to get there as we only travelled every four or five days. Belize is not really our thing but it was fine. Didn't really see enough to give a good report. We prefer Mexico. We like the culture and language better, the history is better preserved and services and infrastructure are a generation ahead of anything in Belize. Too each his own. We have friends who love it there and return regularly. All in the eye of the beholder.

Good luck and happy trails.

It's just a long-long way. Belizian customs are reassuringly the same pompous knot-heads they were thirty years ago. Realize NO COMPREHENSIVE NO COLLISION INSURANCE available. I don't appreciate the constant dearth of fresh food, nor the rice & beans or stewed beans and rice selection at most restaurants. The only decent beach I know of is in Placentia, which is a long way into Belice.

Since they paved mud alley in Guatemala the drive from the Pan American hwy to Tikal is a lot easier.

Ditto on all of the above. Mainland Belize's, in my opinion, only draw is the shorter drive to Tikal.
