Hello... We are retired (US citizens) and have been RV'ing in Mexico for a couple of years now during the winter months. We are full-time RV'ers with a home base in an RV park in Southern California. This next season (November-March) we have reservations at a lovely RV park in Lo De Marcos (45 miles north of Puerto Vallarta). Then in April we'd like to head up to the highlands (Villa Corona) for perhaps 3 more months, and to explore the Guadalajara area. Then possibly, or not, returning to the USA, and repeating this cycle for several years.

I understand we'd need to get an FM3 in order to stay for that length of time. What if we don't go back to the same area every year in Mexico...is it still possible to renew an FM3 in a different locality in Mexico? What about declaring all your household goods, which in our case would be everything in our RV? What happens when you exit/enter Mexico next year? Do you have to declare all over again?

Our goal is to eventually remain in Mexico year-around, in an RV, in various locations (along the coast in winter; mountains in the summer). But eventually we would have to go back to the USA and retrieve our other stuff (i.e., boat, motorcycle, ATV)....is that doeable? Are there storage-type facilities similar to those in the USA where we could keep all this stuff ?

I'm sure there are a lot of RV'ers out there who stay in Mexico longer than 180 days. We would appreciate any advice from you experienced Mexico travelers about what would be the best way to do this and the paperwork involved.
