If you have a financed rv or trailer, do you seek permission to take it across the border to Mexico?

This thread should be moved to the Mexico Forum where there are people who regularly go to Mexico and know the rules etc. We go every years and have never been asked for more than our registration. Our names are the only names on the registration.

This is a 'friend said' post - so take it with a grain of salt.

One member of an RV group that goes to Baja California to do charity work at a school - maintenance, cleaning, brings books and supplies - was complaining at a general meeting of the national organization we attended in March 2017 in Tucson.

It seemed that for the first time, he was denied a Temporary Import Permit when he tried to cross the border in early January. He had to miss the trip and take the motorhome back into California.

The reason - his vehicle title listed someone else - a finance company - as the lien holder on his motorhome.

He had been taking that motorhome to Mexico each of the previous five years with the same title.

Apparently Mexican authorities were tightening up on enforcement of a rule that has been on the books for years.

We took our coach into Mexico for 10 years when it was financed and was never asked about it being financed or not.

Depending on where you want to go in Mexico you will need a permit from the finance company, otherwise you will be denied a Temporary Import Permit, go to the Mexico and South America blog and read at the begining of the blog there is a lot of imformation there.

Even if it was a stipulation in the agreement I would not ask permission.

I wouldn't. Just make sure you have a Mexican insurance policy.
