RE: Cant get parts shipped from USA to Canada
I should have added that most Monaco's have 2 latches in the door. An upper and a lower. There is a rid that connects them and they need to be adjusted so they work in unison.

RE: Cant get parts shipped from USA to Canada
Have you gone to one of the Monaco forums to find out who makes that door handle. It is probably trimark. They might ship it to Canada. Amazon.ca also has some. There is a Monaco dealer in Calgary. Unless you have a very old unit any decent Canadian dealer can get you that part. Be prepared to pay dearly.

RE: Any one else giving up snow birding due to the covid
There are now 3 companies transporting your rv to the usa while you fly. One is out of Blaine,another in Quebec and one in Ontario. All are fully booked. As it gets colder more transporters will appear. I make no comment as to whether this is right,wrong or dangerous.

RE: Safety in Puerto Penasco
Every city or large town in Mexico have labs. You do need a referral. Many are modern first class. They will email the results. However with your medical needs I would stay home.

RE: Two Medical Crises their Resolution and Costs
No public health system is perfect. In many areas of Canada a non emergency mri could take 3 months. Knee or hip from one to 2 years.Not enough specialists so they admit foreign Docs
Some are great but many should not have a license. In some provinces Goverments have reduced health care budgets.With the Covid crisis the systems are in chaos.

Canadians still crossing into the USA
Recently the Canadian Snowbird org. stated that 30% of their snowbirds are still going to travel south. I was quite surprised but after reading the article I can understand their reasoning. Many stated that due to age in a few years travel would be difficult or they might not live that long. So this could be their last hurrah. Some were flying to the warm destination while others were shipping a vehicle and just flying across the border. In another thread many posters criticized this as circumventing the rules. I disagree. There are no rules forbidding flying from Canada to the USA. There are no rules that prohibit shipping a vehicle from Canada to the USA. We can all disagree as to whether they are taking a chance on being infected but I chose to think that perhaps they feel one trip (maybe their last) to their favorite warm spot is a good idea in spite of the danger.

RE: Flying to the USA and shipping car
Forget false statistics. When hospitals have zero icu beds and thereare bodies piled up in portable morgue the reality trumps your survival statistic. It is also getting worse by the day.

Flying to the USA and shipping car
https://www.toronto.com/news-story/10242786-canadian-snowbirds-find-creative-way-to-get-to-florida-with-their-cars-despite-closed-border/
I saw this article a few days ago but you may have to register to see it. In case that happens I will post the abridged version. Snowbirds in Eastern Canada are shipping their vehicles to Buffalo or Detroit and flying via Helicopter or private flight. Then they drive to their winter homes in Florida. BC snowbirds could do this as well. There are companies that transport vehicles to the USA for American car dealers. I thought about doing something similar.

Epi,s area available. But not in small towns. That private hospital should be able to order one.

RE: 911 emergency calls in Mexico
Good advice Navegator. Maybe travelers should also check to see if their cell phone will reach Mexico 911. There are also 3 digit numbers that can reach police or the toll road emergency service. They can reach ambulance service. Often they have English speakers. If you are in distress just stop a Mexican vehicle. They will assist.

The fun in distributing the vaccine is still to come. I would not have any faith that the administration can handle the task.

RE: 911 emergency calls in Mexico
Chris. I certainly do not expect English anywhere. But when Sonora started the 911 service they were advertising that they had English speaking operators. I bet if you surveyed any rv park in Mexico less than 10% would understand Spanish. Even less if you surveyed tourists in a hotel. I only mentioned no Spanish so people would not think they could get help in an emergency. Usually there are English speaking Mexicans wherever you travel in Mexico.

RE: 911 emergency calls in Mexico
I tried the 911 in Sonora. Would not work from a landlines. I called from my cell and at that time no one was available that spoke English. I do not know if 911 would work from a foreign cell.

RE: Any one else giving up snow birding due to the covid
The unclosed border may change. The state of Chihuahua is lobbying the Feds to enforce the closing of borders. Do far this is falling on deaf ears. The fellow who shipped his motorhome is nuts. The cost is outrageous. If an American complains they could sieze his unit. If he enters Mexico the USA will not let him return

RE: Any one else giving up snow birding due to the covid
As much as it is killing me to stay home in the cold we will be staying put. Things are changing quickly. It is so bad in some of the hot spots that it would be next to impossible to isolate. If you did get sick the health systems would not be able to handle the volumes of sick people.Anyone thinking of going south should wait and monitor the situation. Maybe it will improve by February.
