Campers with gross mass over 3.5 tons
Been a few reports of border posts in southern Mexico refusing entry to US camper trucks (not regarded as RVs) with gross mass rating over 3.5 tons even though they were previously allowed in at north...

So here is an idea I have been thinking about. I am assuming the 'Secretariat of Communications and Transportation' is who determines what 'Capacidad de Carga' means in Banjercito's rule for the 3.5 ton load limit. Since the confusing is stemming from how the agents at the border are defining that rule, how does one go about contacting someone from that agency and get a written definition clearly stating that it does not mean GVWR but rather the total weight minus the vehicle weight? Can a lawyer in Mexico help us with getting clarification once and for all? If we are able to obtain a letter from them we can disseminate the document for people to present at the Banjercito office when applying for a TIP.
This was a post from the facebook group that first raised the problem.
Is there anyone here with contacts that would help this overlander find a clear definition that the border people might take notice of.
