Question

Answer 1

im not sure but i sure as h**l wouldnt do it, wouldnt take my own vehilce either

Answer 2

I'd reccomend to think twice before driving in Mexico with a trailer. Especially in the central part of the country which has a lot of mountains, a lot of roads are thin and with next to zero protection for falling down a cliff. I remember this one road that you have to take to get to the city of Veracruz that is super dangerous and you have to drive really carefully.

If it isn't the mountain highways, it's the cities. Mexicans don't really own trailers (I remember seeing a few in the northern states though) and it would be impossible to drive one in Mexico City. If finding a parking space for a tiny Chevy is difficult, it will be impossible for a huge trailer.

If you already know the roads and cities you're going to and are reasonably wide enough for the vehicle, you'll probably be okay. You will need mexican car insurance. It's a federal crime if you are in a car crash and don't have one.

Answer 3

You will need a vehicle permit.  It would be best to contact the nearest Mexican consulate to get your vehicle permits ( car or truck, and the trailer) BEFORE going to the border...much easier.  See sites below for info on permits and list of Mexican consultates in the U.S.

Answer 4

I found the Mexican website that gives you all that information, but you either need to be able to read Spanish or have someone translate for you.  There is not an English option that I could find.  The Spanish term for travel trailer is casas rodantes (literally rolling houses).  My experience in traveling to Mexico is that you will need to have either the title or an authorization from the lender to take it out of the country and you may have to purchase Mexican insurance.
