2-bedroom, tiny cargo trailer conversion. And look closely! It's got AirTabs on the rear for better aerodynamics and increased fuel efficiency. :thumbsup:

But this one is smaller:

Absolutely mezmo. On my list, this is second only to the Roswell. Just look at the detail and tightness of the slide outs. Looks like factory work from jigs and CAD-CAM. Superb craftsmanship! (Maybe iSpy works at the Rolls Royce factory or the Bently factory...or in Q's fablab at MI6?)

Jerry,

If the dental work is $1,000 on this side of the border, it's usually $250 or less on that side of the border. If you're driving, I suggest Ensenada. If you're flying (to Los Cabos), I suggest La Paz in southern Baja. A friend just got back from a two week vacation in southern Mexico (San Cristobol de las Casas in Chiapas state) where a $1,000 worth of work here cost her $150 there. (That's all in US dollars, not pesos.)

Speaking of Mexico, what about staying in an RV park there:

Hey Prem

Thanks for the tips, I was thinking of los algodones dentists :thinking: :thinking:
I also think the Mexican dental High season is Jan to March ??


I'm Really depressed with my Fremont dentist , I told him I can afford $2,500 CASH x 3 implants
we agreed at $2,750 each after a year back & forth
he wanted $4,000 each - but others are doing then for $2400 here.
then he said she needed 3 crowns & JACKED up the price to $1,200 per crown from I just paid $1050
I just sent him an e mail asking if those 3 crown need root canals ?
I also get the feeling he is really pissed because he fills I'm asking him to work for peanut wages.....
My last trip he did 4 teeth in 90 minutes... I was not happy...
I told him many times - i'm not shopping around , this is all I can afford......
If his overhead makes this impossible ....then don't feel forced to accept my money .....
I can look for something in my price range.

Algodones or Tecate. They do mostly dental work on Americans, so the prices are double what they are farther south of the border. But ya gotta do what makes the most sense considering distances, transportation costs, etc. One of my daughters flies to Brazil for her dental work. The difference between the USA dental costs and the costs there pay for her trip. Free vacations are good. :?

Thank You Prem

Your a wealth of very useful information, i'm still trying to find a local dentist because implants do require 3 trips,
if it goes wrong in the USA - I have unlimited FREE Legal Hammers here ...vs ZERO in Mexico
the dear wife is not a rocket scientist you can let wander alone on the Moon & would need someone to make sure she get the right work done
thats why the bill is so high in the first place - I didn't pay attention to what she needed.
Today the Fremont guy told me he did not think she needed root canals - but would hose me another $750 each if he needed more $$$$$$
so I would put the odds at 3 root canals at 99.99%

but when retired I can see 100% fur sure to go there and get dental care -
its a grand slam for sure.

I'll let you know how it turns out in the next month or two :thinking: :thinking:


Thanks a million Jerry

Jerry,

Reno, Nevada. California prices are probably 20-30% higher than in Nevada. Just a thought.

Tongue-in-cheek here:

Just slice that into about ten 7ft long sections, add two
walls to each and mount on a trailer chassis and voila - ten TTTs!
