OK, now I'll try to answer your questions.
You may have to get a supervisor to help you with this, I feel the junior guards would get confused with this set-up. They may want you to split the stuff up and put some of it on the SUV permit. If either the golf cart or the scooter have street plates on them they might want to have a TIP on them. But I believe this is wrong.
Make sure you have registration/proof of ownership on everything except the tool box. I'd make up an inventory list of everything and have it stamped, signed and attached to the TIP. Make sure you get a copy so you can show that you brought this stuff into the country from the US. This will probably be needed to get through the other border crossings without paying import fee's.
Just in case they insist that you need another 6 month TIP for the scooter or the golf cart, make sure that your wife is on the registration/proof of ownership; one person can only have one of each type of TIP (one 6 month and one 10 year). But I doubt that will happen, you are allowed up to 3 powered "toys" (scooters, atv's, etc) per TIP and the scooter and golf cart should be classed as "toys".
Of course there's always the possibility of a RCNC episode whenever you get out of the little rut these guys are used to. :B
REMEMBER; this only applies to getting into Mexico from the US. I have absolutely no idea what the Belize authorities are going to want. Or what the Mexican guards between Mexico and Belize are going to say.
Unless you are planning on spending some time in Mexico you might want to look into a document some call a Transporting or Transiting Permit. This is for people that are just transiting across Mexico to Central America and points south. I have no info on them other than some kind of document does exist.
- The RV will have to have 10 year TIP.
- The SUV will have to have a 6 month TIP.
- The trailer will be included with the RV TIP
- The scooter will probably be on the RV permit, along with the tool box, folding trailer, and golf cart.
