My wife and I are in the process of obtaining our Sentri passes. We went to Otay Mesa for hers. I reviewed the requirements for using the Sentri lane.
I have a Toyato Tundra with a Callen Camper. Apparently that truck with the camper. is not allowed. I asked if a Kayak mounted on top of a Toyato Rav
would be acceptable and was told no. What type of problems have you nomads had

No problems for us. We just don't use the Sentri when we have the camper on the truck or the kayaks on the racks. I have crossed with surfboards
hanging out the back of my 8' long pickup bed. No hassles yet.

People can hide in campers or in canoes on the roof!

I have a full size pick-up with a callen cab-over camper. I got the sentri pass before I bought the camper. I have crossed many times with the camper
on it and have never had any problems. Take the camper off, get the sentri pass and then put it on.
Before I put the camper on, I asked three different agents when crossing if a camper would be OK and they all said sure. And it has been OK.
Maybe the folks in charge of issuing the passes have a different set of rules than the guys manning the gates. I know that doesn't make any sense so
it's probably true.

thanks for the opinions, like "old hippie" I too asked different agents and got everything from a definite "NO!! to perhaps yes"
