6 foot or 8 foot bed in Mexico

...also, consider that there exists 8 foot tub popup truck campers designed to fit short bed trucks; so, you get several advantages: the shorter wheelbase turning capability, and a roomy well equiped bathroom w/ shower, and all the amenities of the larger camper. One popup truck camper maker offers a 45 gallon fw tank.

Having driven through Mexico from brownsville to Central America (in the '90s) several times, i can't see where such a combo would hinder your progress...if in doubt, follow a passenger bus through small towns :D

Thanks so much Silversand! That 8 ft popup sounds like a solution. What company makes them? I have looked at lot but missed that. Would appreciate knowing.

Yeah that Brownsville - Gulf Coast route is actually one of my favorites and it often has the worst of the major roads, so it is a good testing ground.

Thanks again.
