You need medical documents for your dog. They need to be within a month of crossing I think??? Up to date rabies

I've heard you can find Costco's brands dog foods down there, at Costco of course... so if you won't be near one of those, not very useful :)
I also understand you can bring a bag of food, but like someone mentioned, if you show up with a pallet of dog food, you might raise some eyebrows. I'd bring three and not think twice about it
you can bring all your personal electronics. I'm a tech geek and I fly into PV and Maz with a backpack filled with iphone, ipod, Surface, iPad, portable speakers, camera, etc.
I don't know about $300 worth of stuff, hell, my Surface is worth well over that.
Nifty250 - you are over thinking things. While my experiences driving down are outdated now, I've been keeping tabs on things recently due to it being in my future. If you show up at the border with a trailer full of electronics, obviously they are going to expect you to pay import taxes. But the standard stuff you have in your MH isn't going to get a second look.
Meat, fruits, and veggies - big no
guns and ammo - super big no
people moving down there, some of them at least, will pack up all the things they consider essential to filling their new home. Loaded with a trailer, I've not come across any stories of being turned away or forced to pay any import fees. The key is that you aren't bringing in a bunch of new stuff (they will think you are bringing it in to sell). Also, if you are bringing in a trailer, I've heard having an itemized list of everything in there is wise
