Janie> You have been given false information. Your RV requires a 10 year permit. You need the FMM even if you only stay a few days. I do not remember the exact rule but I think 5 days is free for the immigration permit. However you still are supposed to have that permit. Personally I do not like going the Lukeville route. If there are any inspection stations before the US border that would be a problem. There is nothing from San Carlos to Nogales except a military inspection. Usually they do not ask for anything other than passport and I have never been asked for any permits. However they can ask for both your TIP and FMM. Perhaps others will add to this thread. I know that being in a foreign country can be intimidating but there are signs after you cross into Mexico telling you to stop for permits. Every guide book has that information including AAA. There is a sticky on this forum with a good explanation. If it's any consolation you are not the first nor will you be the last to make that mistake! Safety on your route is no problem as long as you do not drive at night!
