No Problems

Sundays are very busy getting back to USA. Long lines of returning traffic.


We crossed and the children would wash our windshield for a quarter. Other children sprayed something from a plastic bottle on our front bumper. When we got to the USA the K-9 barked at our front bumper. We were ordered out of the RV, handcuffed, and escorted inside the building and questioned for over two hours as to where the 'dope' was in our RV. The RV was completely searched and in disarray and we found holes poked into our ceiling from some sort of probe.

After much stress, we were released to continue our journey. Wife was so upset, she had to go to the ER. Not fun.

Motto of story, don't let anyone spray anything on to your RV. Could cause you problems.

We decided that we will never return to Mexico. It might be beautiful, and cheap to live there, but it is also dangerous and too much hassle to get back into the USA.

Too much to see in America and Canada to return south of the border.

So from what I understand, it was U.S. Customs who tore your rig apart.

You can file a claim to have it repaired.

If this is true, you have no issue with Mexico. Why would a kid spray something on your rv to make customs officials think you had drugs in your rv?

I don't get it.

Yep, Canada and the U.S. are beautiful.
