I am glad to hear things are good.
Speaking of Mexican Circus and Carny folks,
I lived in Paamul for 15 years. Paamul is a place where RV's go to retire on the beach, where they rot away. Once the building prohibition was lifted, people wanted to get out of their mold infested RV and build a block home. What do you do with a rotting, mold-infested, wheels that don't turn because they are solid rust? We would call the circus. They would come and haul these rust buckets away and pay you to do it. Then they re-hab them and take em on the road.
QTLA, when you hit the road again, you can come and safely boondock in my yard. :-)
Too funny! I had purchased a porcelain toilet last year as an upgrade to our TT. It didn't fit and to drive to Laredo to return it or ship the boat anchor was not going to happen.
I put an ad on Facebook and a day later a couple showed up to buy it. They work in Yucatan and bought one of those rust buckets on the beach, an Airstream. They gutted it and are putting it on pontoons to make a floating house.
I've visited circus folk in Mexico, Chile, and Colombia when I've seen them. Pretty sh--- living conditions although some of them have been able to upgrade. Kind of like the "ropa" industry. The clothes pass down through the Americas and when there isn't much left in the bails worth salvaging it is shipped off to Africa where they make those rag rugs we have all had at one time or another.
Imagine attempting to import an RV from the north of the continent to South America. And here we worry about our TIP being approved. :)
