many RV parks around Mexico - especially in the Baja but other places such as the Yucatan as well - where RV owners have built palapas and even houses around RVs that have been there for many years and will never move again.

What happens if they start to enforce any of the RV permits - be they 10 year or 6 months?
People in Baja never bothered with getting any TIP for travel trailer or 5-er. Only for boats longer than 14(?) feet. Structure on a leased land, be it a house, trailer, palapa or trailer with or without palapa, sells for whatever a buyer finds reasonable to pay. If place is nice and palapa is nice, price can be high.
