...I suppose if I were "paranoid", I would probably "bring down" a fully depreciated truck (ie. buy a $7000 pickup just for Mexican road trips) and grab a well-used (dry) trailer in Arizona, and who cares if the truck is stolen in Mexico (very low value, easy and equitable insurance payback, and forced "duty" payment on $7000 value is very edible).
We are still hoping that "the Tampa" ferry project comes through (Tampa to Progreso, Yucatan {LOL}), so we can bypass the massive drive across North America, and through parts of Mexico I have already seen (too many times). Also, a Cuba vehicle ferry was "in the works"; which would be interesting, too.
I don't really fancy bringing down "the trailer Queen" unless some form of equitable insurance would be available; so personally (this is just my preference), I would go the old used pickup and used trailer approach...YMMV.
I would like to know the answer to that one as well. I want to get together with Ron & vickie once their situation is completeley resolved to see how it all played out. They live a few blocks from me.
