90 day stay with cargotrailer

8 years ago
We have vacationed enough in Belize over the last 15 years. Planning on driving down this time with enough toys (bicycles, rc cars, drone, etc). Wife likes to sew and do quilts for her church program so we will come with her sewing machine etc. I am a gear head and need my tools too. All this equates to coming down with an enclosed trailer behind my pickup. Question(s).....I know the Mexican police can be an issue coming down with a trailer. I have made contact with a Mexican woman at the Texas boarder that charges a fee to inspect your goods and puts her lock on the trailer and then the Mex. cops will leave you alone while you travel thru to Belize. Has anyone heard of this service? I have rented a car in Cancun Mexico and driven to Belize before so kinda know the ropes there going across into Belize. I am curious to know what I might run into coming across with my trailer in tow at the boarder. I think I should be okay coming in with the things as long as I leave with the same things going out. Customs kind of told me that when I drove in last time with the Mexican car. Someone here, I think, said they come down with a boat loaded with person things. Plans are to 'live' in the places we like for a month or two and see it feels. This cargo trailer trip may end up happening more than once to get our 'where to build/buy question answered. Anyone have facts/ideas I am not thinking of????
