Best Border Crossing w/5th Wheel Trailer
Headed to Oregon pulling my 38?L x 8 1/2?W x 12 1/2?H 5th wheel trailer from Baja Sur. Would really appreciate recomendations on what border
crossing would be best by someone that has done this. Thank you.

We came through Tecate' last trip with no problems. It's a lot more peaceful and much less traffic than anywhere else. I don;t think I'll use another
crossing location again if I can avoid it.

Maybe someone can post good directions to the border crossing once in Tecate'. The signs weren't very good but even circling the block was easy
enough.

I thought there was a tight turn getting into the POE at Tecate - for a 38' 5th wheel might be squeeze

I didn't have any problems with the curves with my trailer. The entry up to the border is two lanes wide but only one is used so plenty of turning
room, IMO.

I didn't have a trailer but recolection was that there were some tight turns. If you've done it - great - my mistake.

I had also heard that Tecate' was tight but the road to the border coming home seemed like it may have been redone/realigned in the last year.
T and T has also gone through Tecate' with his motorcastle and tow. As he had mentioned when I asked, the only thing that isn't so easy is finding a
place to park it in Tecate with a long rig.

1. Where are you coming from ??
2. Sentry pass is almost impossible to get these days and not needed anywhere but Tijuana.
