Tip for Guatemala and for that matter - everywhere.
Travel super light and uncluttered. Far less strain on you and chassis. Sometimes the Guatalmatecan border Aduaneros at La Mesilla and across from Cd Cuauhtemóc want to see EVERYTHING. Deep in storage compartments. I weigh my rig before I travel then return home and start pitching "indispensables". Fill up in Comitán or Tapachula before continuing south. Guatemalan fuel prices will make the knees knock. Same for LPG. Do it in Mexico. Purified water as well. This allows for some breathing room and time to sort things out. But beware of Guatemala agriculture and meat restrictions. The US Consulate travel tips will really help.
Your best up to the minute border crossing tips will come from fellow travelers at your closest to the border last night campsite.
And Belize is not Mexico, or Guatemala or anywhere else on earth as far as anal officials are concerned. The ones I have dealt with could care less if a single tourist entered their domain. Paste on a serious polite smile and grit the teeth.
