Return to US with a small travel trailer??


We may wish to take our 18' travel trailer south in the next few weeks. We haven't done that in the past and so I'm wondering about the return at the border. We've actually stayed a night at either Estero Beach Hotel or at the Rosarito Beach Hotel just to take advantage of their "free" fast pass which allows you to cross at TJ with barely a wait. But, I'd bet you couldn't have a travel trailer in tow in that special lane. Are there special lanes at TJ if you have this trailer in tow?

Tecate? I guess that would be ok assuming you can cross with them there. And Mexicali east I recall seeing that the right lane is for RVs. Don't recall anything special at Mexicali west. Mexicali would really be out of the way since this is a Pacific Coast trip. Can't imagine heading down the grade into Mexicali from La Rumerosa with our trailer in tow behind the Tacoma - brakes wouldn't favor that adventure!

Anywhere you cross you will probably get sent to secondary

I would cross at Tecate when returning to the U.S. Best days are Tues, Wed and Thurs. Usually very little wait but you will probably be sent to secondary. It goes pretty quickly there.




The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
