valid credit card, valid AAA card and a way to call for SS members help will not be possible since i will be shooting down the baja peninsula.........cash is king, queen, and everything there........ I just made the trip in my RV down mainland mexico and drove straight from san diego to culiacan mex the first leg, and did culiacan to puerto vallarta on the next. Hairy driving a 38ft rv that is 13ft tall. you really realize what crown in the road does to you...with zero shoulder.... plus, jackarse semi's booking past you at retarded speeds.....that is part of the reason i did not tow the m1009 behind me. the other is that the only m1009 i could have took was my camo( which i have put 1k miles on since i got it....no issues) and i figured i would have issues at the military checkpoints with it .....plus in mexico, camo would ironically call more attention to myself ....i posed a pic of the rv--- m1009 combo somewhere on this site (that is the only reason i bought my white one)but not surprizing to most, GL couldn't get me the SF-97 in time to get a permit, and i was having these fuel issues also. anyway's, this time i plan to go down baja instead of thru nogales arizona. cross into mainland mex through the port in la paz to mazatlan
