silversand: I answered your post but it went to cyberspace. Auto insurance from your home country is not valid in Mexico. There are 2 USA companies that will extend some coverages to MH's but nothing for autos. If you want to know why just look at this incident. Insurance companies do not want to deal with all the bureaucracies. As for bringing an old beater: Not as easy as it sounds. You must find a vehicle in decent condition. You have to insure it at home. When not towing you need a storage space. One more mechanized item to maintain. I can understand not flaunting your wealth but if you have to resort to driving a Charanaga then it is time to look for somewhere else to visit. What about those with 5th wheels? Should they not bring their shiney duallies? Some people either cannot afford another vehicle or they have better places for those $$.Moisheh
The issue was a stolen towed vehicle. Pretty easy to find an older vehicle that can be towed without the need for storage. We tow a 12 year old Honda with 180,000 miles that's reliable and still serves as transportation NOB. No problem giving it up to avoid a violent confrontation. I wouldn't subject a new vehicle to the Mexican roads anyway. There are some people who own 2 motor homes with one specifically intended for Mexico, right ?
