I am assuming, yes.
I have been in the sentri office and have seen many Mexican nationals getting sentri cards, I am assuming they had cars

Not always. My Callen Campershell was denied. It had a cabinet that ran the width of the shell. Otherwise it was a shell sitting on the wall of the
truck bed with no "over the cab". DENIED. I sold it and got my jeep..IT WAS ALSO DENIED because the front plate wasn't mounted.
I went to a nearby auto parts store, bought a license plate frame and in dress clothes, using a borrowed drill, sat on the curb and installed it. THEN
went back about an hour later without an appointment. APPROVED!!

Incidentally, If you renew a Senrti Pass and you are NOT renewing your vehicle along with it, make sure you supply a copy of the release of liability
if it's been sold. My new Sentri Pass got flagged because they wanted to know if I still owned that car. Apparently, the new owner hasn't been
behaving himself.
Hell, all that I cared about was that he had CASH.

I think you have to have a pass for everyone in your family, but I'm not sure of the cost.

The process is very easy. Fill out the application, submit it with the $25 application fee, and wait for the email telling you that your status has
changed. I applied for mine on April 10, and last week I received my email letting me know that my status has changed, and I conditionally passed the
background check. I have an appointment on June 25 for my interview and vehicle inspection. If you don't like the date, you can change it online,
which is what I did. It was originally on July 1, but I changed it to June 25. I won't change it again, unless I get scheduled to work at a
convention.

I'd guess that at least 1/3 of the cars I see in the SENTRI lane have
Mexican plates. Always wondered how they checked their criminal background?

How about a four wheel pop up camper? Anyone know if that would be allowed? A friend had a Callen that was allowed, but I don't know about a pop up.
Thanks.

Google is your friend. From the FAQ's on the SENTRI site:
Q: My family (husband, wife, children) would like to apply for SENTRI membership but there isn't a family option when applying on the GOES website.
What should I do?
A: Every individual who would like to apply for membership - children included - must create a separate account within GOES and submit a separate
application. The application fee of $25 must be paid online at the time the application is submitted. Once you go to the enrollment center for your
appointment (after you've been conditionally approved, an update will be noted in your GOES account instructing you to contact the local enrollment
center to schedule an appointment for your interview), the CBP officer will verify that you meet the requirements as a family. Also, the remainder of
the family fee of $194.50 will be due at the time of your appointment. You can either schedule a separate appointment on-line per family member, or
call a local enrollment center. Please let the officer know you are scheduling for your entire family.
A family enrollment option is slated as a future addition to the GOES system.
Experience enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.

We have a pop up camper. We have Sentri. We were told we could not use Sentri with pop up on truck. We only put camper on when we are going camping
and then we cross in the ready lanes with Sentri pass. Rest of time we have no camper and we uses regular Sentri. When we got Sentri I did not have
camper on truck. Viva Sentri.

Bummer on that news about a pop up camper. I guess I'll be taking it off a lot more than I wanted to.
