Mexico Border Crossing…Taking Our BIG RV into Baja California!

[@rose-rs5ul]

I have no desire to go to Mexico been there done that. But the way you present your videos it feels like I am along for the ride. So much fun!

[@nia6849]

Returning to the U.S. from Mexico is the most intense RV inspection and search >>>>>>> 10:53

[@wildrvlife]

That’s what we’ve been hearing, interested to see how it will go!

[@debbiemoody351]

Yall are very brave. I would never do it! I'm glad you are back home safely.

[@elwazaraza]

Half and half is hard to find in Mexico. Your best option is a brand called Lyncott that you can find in the dairy section by the milk. Took me a long time to figure this out as it is not very obvious. Your other options are flavored creamers by CoffeeMate brand that are sold in the coffee section (non-refrigerated).

[@stillwatching3255]

You guys are becoming my favourite rv Chanel. Stay safe.

[@wildrvlife]

Aww thank you so much! That means a lot ❤️

[@jcnlala9461]

Your dog was able to detect corrupt military. Lol! You guys are brave. I would like to do that with my family. Going Rving to San Felipe. Looks amazing.

[@elizabethmincy-phipps1130]

Creamer is on a shelf. Like a dry goods thing. Refrigerate after opening. La cremora or usually i can find coffee mate flavors. Look on the shelf not in the refrigerator.

[@petermini1025]

Hola, glad you made it ok. By the time you leave your Spanish will be a bit better. Can’t wait to follow you on this adventure.

[@Ewolk89]

At the borders, they now have Thermal cameras that detect anything with a pulse and body temperature. Compared to unloading everything and then going thru all your things.

[@wildrvlife]

Ahh that makes sense!

[@raulguzman1852]

Bienvenidos a Mexico! If you haven't already, change your truck speedo to read metric, so don't want to get stopped for speeding...Have Fun & Be Safe.

[@nickong9187]

Be sure to visit the Mission in Loreto. Great town.

[@santiagojimenez8912]

Hey guys, I wish you a very nice trip, but always be careful we used to go to San Felipe it for one week and the Fourth of July we did it for like 4 to 5 years straight and we really love San felipe

[@kenstankiewicz6405]

Getting into Mexico seemed relatively easy. I can’t wait to see the return back to the US. Have fun and stay safe!!!

[@wildrvlife]

Yes!! I am curious as to how that will go as well 😬🤞🏼 will definitely keep you posted and thanks so much!

[@Bumpy_Roads]

Yes. Getting back in is where the issues will be.

[@ruffus8039]

Lapaz is cool & Los Cabos. Been a long time since I was down that way, beautiful beaches & great people. There used to be a Hotel California & I regret not stopping by there at the time. Wonder if it's still around. It's a major bonus being able to do repairs, even if it has to be McGyvered to get you to safety.

[@wildrvlife]

Ooh we'll have to see about that Hotel California! That would be cool. We definitely want to hit up La Paz too!

[@raystanton238]

We joined the Escapees RV Club and went to San Filipe about this time last year. We caravaned down there, all 55 campers together! The line of campers was well over a mile long. We stayed at Victor's Rv park on the beach, full hookups and our group rented the entire RV park. What a fabulous trip!

[@wildrvlife]

Oh my goodness! i bet that was a sight to see. I've heard really good things about Victors. If we go back to San Felipe, that's definitely where we'll be staying. and then just take the truck into town

[@raystanton238]

Or, you could walk 2-3 blocks into town from the street side of Victor's or walk down the beach into town.

[@MegaMvaldez]

That’s so cool that you guys didn’t have any issues crossing the border, we go down to San Felipe every year around March/April but never took our rig maybe one day! Enjoy Baja!! 😎

[@wildrvlife]

The drive down to San Felipe really wasn't too bad at all! It's a great little town, I can see why people visit!

[@godevarcooper9366]

6:12 believe it or NOt - i am nervous with you guys too

[@bigronshobbies8209]

You two did a great job, looking forward to your adventure. Safe travels.

[@wildrvlife]

Thanks so much!

[@MoParRus340]

Too cool. ALMOST makes me want to go down there too. Almost. I’m curious to see the return into the states. And groceries are sure cheaper. That would have covered the eggs and milk here.

[@wildrvlife]

I’m curious on how the return will go too! Really enjoying the food prices down here 😄

[@MoParRus340]

@@wildrvlife have to add, beautiful boarder collies. We’ve had some in the past. They are soooo smart.

[@TeeJayG]

So excited for you guys! Can’t wait to see how this pans out for you! Have fun and be safe! ❤

[@doitlaynstyle]

Love the videography. One recommendation on background music. Use editor to bring the volume down low enough to hear the voices outside the vehicle so those that want to do the same things can hear what to expect. Couldn't hear the border agent at all and it was difficult hearing you guys when you were talking softer.

[@wildrvlife]

Thank you for the feedback! We’re still trying to dial in those music/audio levels. We’re finding that it sounds different on different devices, but we’re working on it! Thanks so much for watching! 😊

[@jim87vette]

Looks beautiful! I've never been in an RV before but many times in a car. I don't really have a must see destination so just take it all in and be spontaneous and discover / experience the local culture.

[@wildrvlife]

So beautiful down here! And great tips, that tends to be our MO anyways. We’re keeping our plans loose to try and just see whatever catches our eye

[@clowncleaner]

You guys are fun. Good luck out there!

[@valhalla8227]

That’s my hometown… 🤩

[@tree_monkey3120xp]

Thanks for sharing glad all went smooth at the border crossing! Looking forward to seeing how this adventure goes! Hope yall have safe travels!

[@wildrvlife]

Thank you for coming along!!

[@godevarcooper9366]

16:04 see you in your next video

[@Coastie1081]

Very informative and entertaining. You guys make me laugh. I thought for sure with all your preparation they'd ask you for something you didn't have.

[@wildrvlife]

I was sure of it too! lol thanks for coming along! We'll see if our good luck continues 😅

[@dalemarshall9736]

Interesting that this weeks video from Less Junk More Journey is their border crossing at Mexicalli and they are camping at San Felipe with 3 other rigs! So funny, they got the same eggs as you for a $1 and their bill was like $45!

[@wildrvlife]

lol! It seems like so many people are down here right now! I can understand why. It's such a cool place!

[@aal9207]

Take care guys.

[@wildrvlife]

thank you!

[@douglasvieira1990dv]

New subscriber here ! Hi! Can’t wait to see the rest of this trip, maybe a little Baja tour of your rig and setup when your all settled in

[@wildrvlife]

We're actually planning on doing a video on that very soon! 🙌

[@mitchpeecher249]

Planning a trip with a 40ft. toy hauler so I'm interseted in how it goes for you with a big rig anything that covers logistics would be great to know in your videos,fresh water,fuel, dump stations ect.

Ooh yes, this one is on the list!

[@rogergraves242]

U should learn too use dry creamer for when in places that don’t carry u-R regular creamers. Dry creamers R stronger last longer.

[@elizabethl9208]

Well that went smoother then it did on “We’re the Millers” 🤣 Seriously though, please be careful there. 🙏🏻

Get extra def for your truck

yes! I think the only place you can get it down here basically is autozone

Thank you!! And the actual sites did have some hookups, but we kind of made our own spot since we didn’t fit so we didn’t have hookups there

My border collie was able to open the rear door on my truck. She leaned into it with one paw and her weight while the other paw found its way into the pull out door release. In traffic!! I disabled with the key after.

[@wildrvlife]

oh my goodness!! that is terrifying. We have these door covers but now I'm kind of thinking we might want to disable it too lol

[@adriannurse1502]

Congratulations guys. You made it look so easy. 🙂 How long are you going to be in Mexico?

[@wildrvlife]

Should be until mid-May if all goes according to plan!

[@21psd]

Awesome you guys, have a safe and fun adventure! Crossing over seems like it went smoothly, but I was stressing along with you, mostly because of the language barrier and signage. I wonder if your trucks speedometer can be switched to kilometers within the display settings.

[@wildrvlife]

Lol yes! I really wish we knew Spanish better, but I have a feeling we’ll probably learn it best actually being down here. And it can! Which, I wish we would have thought of before we crossed over and we’re driving 😆 even more so, it’d be nice if the US wasn’t like the only country NOT using the metric system 😂

Did it feel strange at first being in a different country with your vehicle? I’ve not been to Mexico driving but I have been into Canada and it was just a little strange feeling.

[@wildrvlife]

Yes! It was so weird knowing that we just drove over into a WHOLE OTHER COUNTRY. A very strange (but exciting) experience for sure

[@thevagabondonwheels4918]

Are you guys planning to head down to San Ignacio Lagoon on your trip? I have seen videos of the gray whale watching (and sometimes petting) they do there and it looks like an amazing experience. A little pricey but doesn't seem to bad since you would be driving yourself there and have your own lodging. I think the season for seeing them runs through April, but probably better off if you get there in March.

[@wildrvlife]

We will be going by there, but not sure if we're going to be able to stop for whale watching. I've seen videos of it though and it does look AMAZING. definitely on the bucket list for one day!

[@thevagabondonwheels4918]

@@wildrvlife I would at least seriously consider it if I were you. I have been on at least five whale watching trips in my life (four for humpbacks) and have seen some really cool stuff, but never anything like the experience you can get in San Ignacio. The odds of you two ever being back in that neck of the woods again, and at the right time of the year, are pretty low I suspect. Either way, safe travels!

[@jakeweber1740]

Hola chicos que tal...soy Carlos de Argentina. Favor podrian subtitular en Español..Gracias..consulta tienen pensado viajar y visitar mi pais con la RV...??

[@dyrkmartinez2622]

Can you show or tell me how you connected your spare tire to your platform on the rear of your 5ver. Looks at doing the same thing . Is it far enough away from the ground? Thanks

[@wildrvlife]

I believe this rv was equipped with the spare tire in that position. In my opinion, I think it hangs too low and creates a lot of unnecessary weight on the rear due to the amount of leverage it has. I'm planning on relocating mine when I'm back in the States.

[@kimhastings2148]

Thanks for all the info for going to Mexico. Just wondering how your AT&T works for you there ? Thanks Have fun !!

[@wildrvlife]

Calls and texts work good (as long as there is telcel coverage - a lot of areas just don’t have cell service) but, while data “works”, I believe we are on deprioritized coverage with telcel so trying to do things on the internet is extremely slow

Wondering if Starlink internet will cover most of Mexico?

[@jeffreyjohnston6843]

coming back, they might really inspect you, but you guys don't make the profile of the type of people they really look at ,they see so many people they can tell a lot by just looking.

[@wildrvlife]

yeah they see so many people come through, I bet there are certain tells they look for

[@diggindrums3260]

What happens if you have engine or transmission problems down there?

[@wildrvlife]

It would all depend on what kind of problem it was. We would either source the parts to fix it ourselves or utilize a local mechanic, or I believe that there are even Ram dealerships in places like Cabo. But, we spent 10 weeks down there and didn’t end up with any issues on that trip!

There is a lot more to Mexico than what you see on the news. Just like there are a lot of foreigners that would say the same thing about the USA based on what is on the news. Don't judge a whole country because a few places are bad.

Has your spare tire scraped the road with the carry tray rack down in the back? I was afraid of that happening to me
