The law in Mwxico for a foreign registered vehicle to enter is to have a T-emporery I-mport P-ermit (TIP), for all of Mexico including Baja Norte and Baja Sur, since it is a peninsula there is no other outlet other than going back the same way that the vehicle came in to the Bajas, yes you can board a ferry at La Paz and go to the mainland, but the proper paperwork should be available at the ports of entry in to mainland Mexico, big fines and confiscation of the vehicle will probably be enforced.
Can you drive both Bajas without a TIP? Yes unles you have an ocean going RV to cross over to the main land.
In regards to the P-ermiso M-igratorio M-ultiple (PMM) "people visa" that is mandatory in all of Mexico, including both Bajas.
With the hostile environment in Washington DC towards Mexico do not be surprised that the laws governing the Temporary Importation Permits will be enforced in a stricter manner rather than the lenient way from the past years going to Baja Norte and Baja Sur, on the contrary they will become stricter and border inspections will be thorough and tedious checking VIN numbers and very detailed customs inspections at all border crossings.
Mexicans are proud people and do not tolerate insults very well, so the individuals at the border check points will react by making the crossing harder, they do not care about the gringo turista and their rolling mansions, they have been offended, not a good thing.
