RE: Is this type of plug OK with an Atwood water heater?
No it is a Poor choice! Use the OEM Plugs ! They are cheap and Work Properly! A New one every year is cheaper than a Cup of Coffee!

RE: Planning on staying in Mexico for 18 months vice 6
Sorry it's the ICBC Agent Who will send those Decals to You! Provided that You talk to them nicely and have a great relationship with them.
There are Rules and then there are Exceptions!

RE: Importing Class A to Ontario, Canada
I have driven several US Plated RV's Home to Canada with absolutely No Problems.
As long as You have an Insurance Binder from Your Insurance Agent listing the Plate and Number Etc You are OK! They also provide You with a Permit from Point A to Point B good for X number of Days. ( Border to Your City ) (Sellers City to Your City)
The Canadian can Not operate the Vehicle in Canada solely on the Sellers Insurance.The Plate however has never been a problem.
A Copy of the Bill of Sale and The Clear Title is Faxed to the US Customs at the Point of Exit at least 72 hours prior to arrival along with a Note indicating Your Intent to Export the vehicle. Copies of these same documents should also be faxed to the RIV Office in Ottawa which speeds up the procedure on Our side of the border!
Then the Original documents need to be carried by the Exporter to the Export Office for verification purposes. US Customs will stamp the Back of the Title with an OK to Export stamp.
At that point Drive through Canadian Customs. Report the Import , Pay the GST ! You will be directed to the Office that handles the RIV Paperwork. If you have all Your Ducks in a Row it is then Off to the nearest Canadian Tire for the Inspection and installation of a DLM !
A Word of Caution... You require a Letter of Recall from the Manufacturer of any Motorhome in order to Import it into Canada. Sometimes these are difficult to obtain so be sure that the seller has copies of Any and All Recalls on the Vehicle and appliances and the Proof that they have been performed OR You will be slowed down in the Import process!

RE: Tracker/Gr.Vitara dolly towing?
You may be able to Tow it with the Rear wheels on the Dolly. Check with a towing company in Your area. They generally have the correct information.

RE: Selling RV
I haven't used them BUT had a buddy who wanted to sell a 5th Wheel Toy Hauler. He talked to a similar place who offered to buy His rig for less than 1/2 of what he eventually got by advertising it Himself!
I guess the bottom line is How Much Money do You Need to get to let it go?

RE: Water heater issues....
You need to adjust the Sliding Burner Tube which controls the Air Flow. There is one screw that You loosten then Gently move the tube until The Flame turns Blue and the Noise dies down slightly. It Shouldn't sound like a Jet Engine nor should there be any Black Smoke!

RE: Planning on staying in Mexico for 18 months vice 6
Lew,
Since Your Moho has the Ten Year Permit on it leaving it at LDT while You Drive the Toad up to the US Border would seem to be a doable way of handling the situation. You only need to renew the 180 Day permit on the Car and of course obtain a New Tourist card for Yourself.
You could stay in Nogales for a few Days. Your ICBC Renewal can be obtained via Phone or Internet and is Money in the Bank while Out of B.C. and as earler comments indicate You can only get Mexican Insurance if You are currently insured at Home.
ICBC will Deliver the Tags to You wherever You can receive Mail. I would make an arrangement at a Hotel in Nogales to expect mail for You, or make friends with someone who has a place somewhere in Arizona.
I think that Barb and Sal at Hacienda Contreras might be able to offer some advice re what to do as They travel back and forth to the USA from their Home in Mexico. There are also several Canadian Ex Pats that have Homes near Lake Chapala who would know the routine!

RE: Panama Canal
As Stated above there are two Bridges across the Canal as well as service crossings at the Locks which are usable only at certain times.
If You are planning to drive through to South America it is tha Darien Gap that presents the problem not the Canal. Look it up "Darien Gap" on Google!

RE: Lube on Lug Studs
Never Use Lube or Anti Sieze Compounds on Lug Nuts! If They are rusty Wire Brush before Removal, If they are so bad that they are siezed replace them with New Lugs!
Using any type of lubricant will likely cause the threads to distort if over tightened.

RE: Local AZ study about going to Nogales!
For those of Us who slip over to Los Algodones for Glasses and Pharmacy prescription drugs once or twice a Year. The Return line Up isn't too bad IF You time it right.
We waited about 10 Minutes in April and perhaps 30 last December.
The Key when getting Glasses is to come back the next day rather than waiting the Hour or Two for them to be made up! Go across Early ,have the Eye Exam and Select the Frames...Head back to Yuma. Return Early the Next Morning to pick them up!
Same with the Drugs get over Early ..Know what You are buying and head back North.
What seems to cause the Long Lines is People who hang around until 11 AM to Buy Booze! These folks are the majority in the Line up!
