The fuel comment above has to do with diesel - Mexican diesel isn't ULSD for the most part - though that is up for discussion as much of their fuel comes from the US. No guarantees. But that only matters to newer diesel vehicles. Many do travel in Mexico and many get away with it. We have on 06 and won't be getting a newer one until Mexico has ULSD. Maybe we will never get a newer one.
I'm actually really glad to finally see someone taking a common sense approach to this ULSD issue.
I'm not a MH owner yet. I know I'll be in Mexico a lot. I'm either going new/newer gasser or '06/older DP due to the lack of appropriate fuel.
I've done a little research and google'ing on the subject and it seems like there are a LOT of people that choose to do it... "it just uses more DEF" (something you have to haul with you because you cant get it down there), or "the so and so will get clogged".... but this is all in their justification for going for it.
From everything I've seen so far, MH's are temperamental at best. Why would anyone in their right mind intentionally put their power plant, or exhaust system, at risk while traveling in a foreign country?
It doesn't pass the "does this make sense" test for me.
