Let me see if this will clarify the missunderstanding of the FMM and TIP
You have a couple going on vacation to Mexico, we will call them EL SENOR and LA SENORA
El Senor gets a 180 day FMM and a 10 year TIP for a 5th trailer or class "A" "C" Etc.
La Senora gets a 180 day FMM and a 180 day TIP for a Ford F-350 or a suv toad or other vehicle.
El Senor can leve and enter how many times he wants because the 5th trailer is legal in Mexico for ten years.
If la Senora needs to leave the Mexican Territory then la Senora and el Senor need to go to a Government office called ADUANA, all international airports and maritime ports have them with theire FMM's and either surrender the vehicle for impounding or ask that the vehicle be provisonally transfered to EL SENOR'S FMM, for the duration of the exit, uppon returning El Senor and La Senora need to go back to the Aduana and have the Aduna recind the transfer of the TIP with the FORD f-350 or other vehicle so that the Aduana can verify that the vehicle and the VIN is the same.

Excellent post!
Can you speak to the question of security while the vehicle is in impound? There was some mention earlier of vandalism or theft.
Thanks
