The diference is a motorhome or trailer, etc is issued a 10 year permit, a car or truck 180 day. The reason for the restriction is to stop people from selling foreign plated vehicles in Mexico. Possibly they do not consider RV's a threat for that. After all, there is no deposit on them. Anyway I am going to check on it. These people say their immigration lawyer told them it was OK. With all the computer integration these days, he may be right. I want it straight from SAT before I attempt it. I am also betting that even if you can, you would not be able to obtain a 10 year after getting residente. It is interesting that the SAT regs do not mention the restriction under Casa Rodantes, just the restrictions on who can drive it.
