Re: Rving In Mexico and South America? Where Did It Go?
Well I decided to look for my favourite Mexico forum after a long hiatus - we shipped our Winnebago to Europe in 2007, then bought a Hymer in the Netherlands and basically have been travelling Europe, Morocco, Turkey ever since. Good to see Moishe and Chris are still around! Fond memories of our Mexico sojourns!

Reisender wrote: Europe is opening up right now. There are tons of snowbirds in southern Spain and Morroco. Portugal can also be nice. But southern Spain is still one of our favourite winter vacations. Yes, Europe is generally open within its borders and to Canadians. We've been looking at buying a new RV in Canada to replace the Rialta we sold 2 years ago. But where would we go? Luckily we didn't sell the RV we keep in the Netherlands. The last 3 winters we've motorhomed in Morocco, Spain, Portugal and Greece. We have tickets booked for the end of November, probably RV in Portugal, but are still not sure we'll risk the flight. Once we're in the RV, we're confident we can keep as socially distanced as possible . Strange times.423Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Oaxaca campground
I asked on their Facebook page on Sept. 5: Jefferson Campervan "Is there a new edition of the Mexico book in the works?" Reply September 5 at 4:33pm Rolling Homes Press: "At this point no but we will be traveling around the entire country this coming winter. We'll assess the demand during our travels."415Views0likes0CommentsInsurance for Guatemala
Is there any way to buy vehicle insurance prior to entering Guatemala or right at the border? Search results indicate that you buy it at agencies in larger towns inside the country - which means,eg. that entering at El Ceibo you have to drive uninsured to Santa Elena, where you can buy insurance.1KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Any foods not allowed into Mexico

I personally do not suggest that you hide dog food, or anything else when entering a foreign country. Thanks- I'll try that- no Mexico on their International pages, but I'll shoot them an email.278Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dogs to Guatemala?
MikeJinCO wrote: Frank summed it up quite well. From what the vet said this or a similar process is fairly common in Europe. Trying to pull that off in Mexico is almost laughable. We'll follow the wanderer's advice. Besides, what good is a plan if you can't change it? I had my RV in Europe over the last 8 years and we took our dogs with us when we went over to travel. Except for the last embassy step, it is the same process. However one is usually flying to Europe, so the short time frame between paperwork and arrival are immaterial- but when spending time overland in Mexico, you're likely to exceed the time window. As I said, AFAICT, most RVers with dogs appear to not do any of the paperwork - just using what they used to enter Mexico.293Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dogs to Guatemala?
The following is copied from a 2004 Guatemala government info document. It seems that when entering in your own vehicle by land, that most travellers don't have anything more than a rabies certificate. Of course, you're taking a chance of being denied admission. BRINGING YOUR PET TO GUATEMALA • You must first take your pet to a U.S. registered veterinarian for a health certificate stating that the pet has been examined, shows no evidence of communicable disease, and has been vaccinated for rabies, distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, and parvovirus. The certificate must be executed within 30 days prior to the animal's entry into Guatemala. Not all U.S.-based veterinarians can perform certification, so be sure to check first that your veterinarian can provide or recommend someone for this service. • Then take or mail the health certificate to the nearest office of the Department of Agriculture in the United States that approves health certificates for pets. • After the certificate has been approved by the Department of Agriculture, you will need to have it authenticated by the Guatemalan Embassy or a Guatemalan Consulate in the United States.293Views0likes0Comments
