Height limit crossing into Mexico at Lukeville, AZ
Have camped many times in Rocky Point over the years. Have a new fifth wheel now that's 13'3" in height. I'm sure the port of entry is at least that high, but I want to be sure. Does anyone know?

- Never gone in that way, but have gone out through Lukeville. It is certainly tight. If you don't get an answer here, you have a choice; enter elsewhere OR park well short of the entry and walk up to check. Probably easier to just turn around than have to reverse out first!
- You will have no problem at Lukeville it is sufficient for any size RV

Be advised; Heigth wise that may or may not be true but my Motorhome width at the mirrors is 10'4" and we did NOT fit through lane 2.
We blocked that lane for quite a while, they opened another lane to divert traffic behind us. Moving the mirrors requires a socket wrench which fortunately I had. The only other option was disconnect the toad, back out & hope another lane is wider.
These barriers are steel posts mounted in concrete and taller than the coach.- Our fiver is 12 ft 2 inches. No problem going in but we had to wait for a cranky agent to open the commercial truck exit on the way home. The U.S. auto entrance was 12'2" and too close to risk. That meant getting x-rayed like an 18 wheeler - no exception. That was a Sunday in Feb 2014.
- Didn't know they had x-rays at Lukeville, or a commercial truck crossing. Where is it?
- I also was too high for the normal lanes. If you keep to the far right there is a chain link fence with a large gate. Just stop there and go inside and tell them you are too tall. They will open the gate, xray your unit and also inspect the inside. Once they are satisfied, the will you on your way. A friend had $3000 in roof damage by going through the low lanes.
