bajaguy - 11-10-2009 at 07:04 PM

Has anyone registered and or titled an RV, specifically a new travel (camping) trailer in Baja???

Advantages/disadvantages?????.......process, costs?????

Before the hijacks and rants start, I'm asking beacuse I just want to know, and think it would be ultra cool to have Baja plates.

Come on, 'fess up. Is it a Dutchmen or maybe even a Holiday Rambler?

Yeah, I have. It was a brand new 2009 Jayco. A travel trailer. I registered it in South Dakota as I no longer had a residence in any state as I was in the process of moving to Mexico.

Sorry Hook

I edited my post......I was wondering if anyone has done it in Baja

My friend, Pam, is registering her motor home here. Would you like to speak with her? I can probably arrange that, for a few Pacificos, of course.

Oh yeah...by the way...you do realize it has to be imported at no small expense.
OK...two Pacificos.

I'll take care of the Pacifico's when we try and find the insurance lady

I looked at the floor plan, no good for Baja, fridge too small for a case of bolinas!

Sounds good.
Why would you even be entertaining thoughts of putting Baja plates on a RV?
Splain pleeze.

Dunno.....just checking options.......Think it would be cool and a conversation starter while sitting around the campfire in Yellowstone, swilling Pacificos

I'll get you a plate to put on just for that occasion.
By the way...Baja road trivia here....Did you know that when you tow a trailer in Mexico, the trailer has to have it's own insurance policy? It's not an extension of the tow vehicle as it is in the states.

Baja Plates ? ? ? No problema...

I have a 60's Baja Sur plate on my shop..... doesn't do anything but sit there and make me smile . . . especially when I'm out there in Dec., Jan., etc.... with the snow thrower (used a shovel up til last winter.... why'd I wait so long...???).

How about just using your regular US state plate where it goes and then put a Baja plate somewhere else on the rig.... thus the conversation piece . . ? Not the same, I know, but it might be the best realistic option....

(I used to have a 27 foot HR MH in Loreto.... which I later sold... Loved it, but not the vandalism and theft I sufferred when gone one trip north... It is a nice home now for a local Loreto amiga....

I hope to take my 27' Jayco Class C down in a couple of years.

Best,
djh

Actually, I have a blank Baja plate that was never issued, a concept plate....just has the printed overlay of a whale tail on the aluminum, no numbers.
