MOBILE HOME TRANSPORTING


I'm the one who needs some help this time:

Do any Nomads out there have any knowledge of who transports mobile homes from San Diego area to Ensenada?

I'm really having a difficult time finding someone to do it. The two mobile home dealers in Ensenada area apparently do not transport from the US to Ensenada, and everyone I called in San Diego area that was listed under mobile home transport either is no longer in business, or does not transport from the US to Mexico.

Thanks for your assistance!
Udo

That may be a tough one. I've often wondered why there aren't more manufactured homes in baja. Maybe it's because Mexico won't allow them in. Are you sure it can be done?

I bet an American style "mobile" home park with single, double, and triple wides would go over great with American retirees. Bingo, shuffle board courts, and an eight hole, par 3 golf course. What more do you need?

Oh yeah, a Tiki Bar. :D

Maybe that's why there aren't any there; maybe México wants to stay and be México....

All of the used mobil homes in Baja were brought down here when they were no longer allowed in California parks becase of age. I have seen them coming down here on the free road but never noticed a name on the trucks hauling the two halves.The people selling them down here certainly won't tell you who hauls the because they want to sell you one on their lot.

They have to be imported. Get in touch with an import agent. They'll know who transports.

These older units can be acquired free of cost NOB. When a tenant wants to upgrade, they'll give away the old unit to anyone who wants to have it removed. That's how a lot of the local crap was acquired.

So it can be done. Good!

Udo, let us know how it goes. It's an interesting option for those of us who can't afford to build castles in the sand.

You are right, Bob!

I have contacted the two dealers in Ensenada, and gotten nowhere. I think they contract someone in the US to bring them down, and then they haul or sell them in Baja.

I think I'll follow DENNIS' suggestion and contact a vehicle importer.

I believe these people have some info, or least transported to Baja at one time:

http://www.mawilliamshomes.com/

Next time you are in Ensenada, head up Hwy 3, past San Antonio de Las Minas. Just past town, towards Tecate, there is a mobile home lot on your left. They also might have info, or maybe could transport from Otay.

Have you contacted these people??

Lomas Del Mar, DENNIS.

Becky is trying to work a deal on the corner lot that is currently occupied by a tear-down mobile home.

The place is in San Antonio De Las Minas, Terry, and I went there las week and spoke with the owner who was going to get back with me by Monday. Called him back and left four messages. I don't think he's interested.

Good idea, Dennis. Clean the trash out of Socal and take it to Mexico. Better than , as Trump puts it, bringing their trash up here.

That REALLY is an insulting remark to call my purchase of a mobile home someone's trash!

You can be sure I'll report you uncalled for remark to Doug.
What in the frog did I ever do to you!!!
