Hola,

POSTED TODAY ON BAJAPONYEXPRESS.

I'M JUST PASSING INFO.

BIEN SALUD,

DA RAT

" Towed a nice boat from LB to San Jose Marina and got pulled over in San Jose by Federales in a pickup for not having a valid sticker on the trailer plate. They wanted me to disconnect the boat and trailer until we got a valid sticker and pay all the fines for various infractions. A 3000ps here and now fine kept us going. Be sure your equipment is US/CA/MX legal before getting on the road ".

Yeah....well, other than being highway robbery, maybe there's not much room to cry about this one.

So, they noticed that the year indicator sticker was out of compliance?

Scary.... couple years ago I bot a new 10 foot open trailer to haul all of our camping gear.
The new license never arrived by the time we left, so I posted here on Nomad if anyone had any experience with a "no plate" run.
Not much good input, so we just set off, spent 10 days prowling all around BCN and home without an inquiry. No plate, no paper sticker, NADA....
Guess I got lucky...

Actually I am surprised you made it into the states without the paperwork

I get more chit from the US side when hauling a trailer.

I had Paperwork, I just did not have plates.
And yeah, I held my breath on both sides of the border,
