RV permit question, going my way?
I returned my RV permit last year as I was buying a new RV and now need to buy another permit. I have my receipt in case Customs gives me a problem. I think I bought a RV permit years ago at the Dougl...

Here is what I have from 2 different people. It is actually super easy. We crossed with our 42 ft. Dynasty towing a full size Silverado. The streets are very wide. I couldn't find it as my favorite computer crashed last summer. But finally found it in an email I sent to another Rv'r. I have stated this before: Do not believe those that say the barriers have been removed. In another forum someone posted that 8 barriers had been removed. I cam through there in my truck in June and it was the same as always. Maybe 1 or 2 barriers removed. The problem is the lanes are divided by barriers at the far right. No way a large MH can make that tight swing. You will see paint on those barriers. Once you commit to the normal way of crossing what do you do if your unit will not fit. You cannot back up with all the traffic. I could see a heart attack coming real quick. The route that I am posting seems to be the same as yours. The lanes are wide and the traffic is not that bad.

Just follow the signs to Nogales centro just after airport. Follow that main thoroughfare past Unison and toward “USA” signs. After several intersections where left turns are made from RIGHT two lanes (you stay in left lanes), watch for intersection near bottom of hill that indicates USA Mariposa, and turn left from LEFT lanes. Just follow that to Mariposa gate.
2. This is better
As you approach Nogalas, you need to exit the toll road and stay on 15 towards central Nogales. You will pass the airport (on your left) and enter congestion near the UVM campus. As you pass the UVM campus or enter the congestion of the city, stay in the left two lanes. I would stay in the leftmost lane and just poke along. You will go through three traffic lights (I think) which are unique because the third lane from the center is actually the lane that stops for a left hand or U turn. This is why you want to stay in the left lane.
The fourth traffic light is for Bulevar Luis Donaldo Colosio. You want to turn left onto this road. If you are in the left lane approaching the light, your lane becomes a left turn lane. This road will take you up a hill past Home Depot (left side) and Walmart (right side). Lanes on this road wander a little so again I would just poke along in the left lane or 2nd lane. You will be on this road for 2.8 mi. Your last big intersection is Calle Reforma on the right. At this intersection shift to the right lane because you will exit to the border crossing in about 600 ft. Stay to the right and you will be in the bus lane for crossing.
