Transport of 26 foot travel trailer to Rosarito
Hope this is the correct forum for the question. We want to buy a 26 foot travel trailer and have it transported (hauled) from Orange County to South
Rosarito. Any suggestions on who to contact for quotes. etc. Any personal experiences would be appreciated as would what paperwork would be
required. The travel trailer will not return NOB.

It doesn't matter that it won't return NOB. Procedure is the same - it must have valid registration and license plates. Or at least temporary paper
plates. Not "moving permit" from dealer, but a registration. The only other paperwork would be a few days Mex insurance on RV, you can buy it
online. After that, you just tow through SY or Otay.
But, if you want to "import" it - not that you have to - then it's a different story.
I don't understand what quotes you are looking for. There are dozens of RV dealerships in SoCal. There are also one-stop portals to narrow down the
search, http://www.rvtrader.com for example.

I'll have to totally agree. You could haul a small trailer with a suv or car. Hook it up and drive it down. If anyone asks, you're on vacation.

Thanks for the input. Guess I wasn't clear. Don't have a hitch or tow vehicle. Am looking to pay someone to haul it down, rather than rent a
truck/car and have to return it promptly.

Rental pickup will likely be the cheapest and the easiest way.
Paying somebody with his own car to spend all day, going to dealer with you, waiting at the border - they always inspect trailers, answering questions
about car and trailer registered to different persons, possibly taking liability if anything happens - this is a lot to ask from somebody.

Seems like a five hundred dollar bill would do the trick. Is it a ball hitch or 5th wheel? I might know a guy.

Not a lot to ask of somebody. There are a number of businesses that transport boats, RVs, travel trailers. You can google them up.

Gotcha! Here's the deal. Buy an old Buick or ???? really cheap. Get a moving permit from DMV to get car to a repair shop. Hook up the trailer, tow
it to Mexico, sell it to a Yonke or just walk away from it. If you're a little clever you can break even on this deal. I've done something like this
a few times in my sorted career.
