What's it REALLY like to DRIVE AN RV in Baja, Mexico?

[@jeffschmucker6206]

Been living in BCS for 3 1/2 years now. Built a house between Todos Santos and Cabo. All this after visiting one time. So much to learn but the number one thing is to remember, "it's Mexico, don't freak out". We love it.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Wow, awesome.

[@louannad1]

You guys are so brave to travel into Mexico because of all the craziness in the world. But I am so glad we get to watch. Be safe.

Oh my goodness it just keeps getting more beautiful every week. I will watch this over and over until next Sunday. Thank you for taking us along. You all are in our prayers for safety.

We’re loving your travels in Mexico. This episode is so amazing to see the challenges of road travel to this beautiful campsite and it looks like the children are having a great time.

Thank you! Will do!

[@ladikmk]

That river camping spot is stunning, but that road/drive = “wild and wooly!!!” I’m pretty sure if I drove that road myself, I wouldn’t have any fingernails left. Sounds like a caravan is the best way to drive there. Hope you’re doing well; safe travels & enjoy.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much.

[@niecek.6473]

That is the worst part of traveling in Mexico, we were low on gas and finally found a town in the baja with gas, they are few & far between Rocky Pte. & Mexicali! The roads look beautiful, but you come around a corner and a big chunk is gone! We experienced hitting a pothole and we we were miles from the border. It was at least 100 that day, plus the checkpoints were nerve racking. We just said our prayers and made it home safe. I enjoy your videos! ❤

[@wanderingrocky1858]

I drove my 33 foot class a motorhome down Baja and back. You are absolutely right about everything you said about the driving. It’s definitely white knuckle if you have a bigger rig. I would not take my motorhome down the Baja again.

[@taresamorales8088]

Absolutely stunning! I am so enjoying watching your travels with your sweet family & friends.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks so much!

[@sherriweber7105]

Great video! You picked the Rv to travel in to get to Baja! Glad you fit in good by the water at that park. That Rv park looks nice. Nice you are by the water. I like that you were able stay close together at the campsite. It’s beautiful there! Hope you had fun there! Glad the filtered water tasted good! Have a great night and see you soon! Safe travels!

[@dsphotoscapes]

Y'all are so much fun to follow! Even more so since I found out you're from Tennessee. My family on Mom's side is from the Sequatchie Valley near where y'all are from.....so that accent just sounds like home to me. Even though I grew up near Lubbock TX, and still live there, my brother just moved to TN, bought some land 12 miles north of Dunlap from a cousin and built a barndominum. I have been out there two times in the past year, but haven't towed the 31' Airstream there....we flew. Thanks for the fun videos!

I respect driving a tall 2wd class c RV down in Baja, thats some skilled driving. Adventure vans on promaster/sprinter/transit chassis handle those roads so much better than a 5th wheel

I'm wondering how much traffic there is. It doesn't seem like a lot but then I wasn't there and you were. Keep the good stuff coming guys and give the kids a hug for me.

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Yeah the semi hanging back thing - if any of you drive up the Cuesta de Inferno (spelling) out of Santa Rosalia up to San Ignacio - follow a semi up for the EXACT same reason. Trust me on that icky thing.

[@toddramsay977]

LOL. Son of a gun. We didn’t have Wi-Fi or cell phones as a kid. We rode our bikes to our friends house to see if they could play. In my case that was 1.3 miles.

[@Barbara-fy8cs]

We drove in Baja last year about this time and one just needs to slow way down when those semis come along. It was a camper truck that was bouncing side ways on the narrow roads and his side outside ladder that ripped off our driver side mirror and shattered the glass down the entire length of our Class C leaving about 200 tiny scratches all down the side. It could have been worse....no place forever it seemed to pull over and check it out. It took forever to have our insurance agree to pay the full price of repair work. Just have to be patient and persevere .

[@stevefritts1697]

I hope you stay safe. I would never under any circumstances take my motorhome into Mexico. Lots of other places to go where you won’t be kidnapped, robbed or killed.

I noticed your group uses some sort of Walkie-Talkie to communicate with each other on your Baja trip. I am curious what brand of Walkie-Talkie you used and how well they worked for your group. We are planning a trip to Mexico ourselves and would like a good way to communicate with each other as well.

I’m way behind on viewing videos, but unfortunately, there’s more to life than just lying in bed watching videos all day. My wife happens to thing responsibilities are more important. Bah, she just doesn’t understand. Anyway, I’ve got to be honest, I’d love to travel through Mexico and South America, but no way would I do it, not with what’s happening. The US isn’t that safe anymore, but I think there’s more serious danger in Mexico. I realize you guys have been back safe for awhile. God is good!

You kids should have seen Mex5 BEFORE all the improvements!!! (But I'm glad you didn't have to!)

[@r.l.strange1897]

Mexico is badass. The people are cool as hell too. The cartel stuff usually doesn’t affect tourism especially if your a respectful visitor. The cartels depend on tourism for a giant chunk of their revenue and if there is a huge stink about Americans dying and being kidnapped, it takes money out of their pockets. Americans just visiting on vacation for the vast majority of the time, need not worry.

I suspect you all have water filters or water purification systems on your RV. So why make such a big deal about the water?

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

A couple reasons. Drinking the water in Mexico has long been a concern and a joke. We installed new filters and wanted to confirm that they indeed did work and it was the continuation of a funny story from our last video.

[@lockedin60]

@@LessJunkMoreJourney Not just Mexico. I was not healthy enough to go but my former church did mission work in La Ceiba Honduras. Drinking Water in any of the developing countries was always a concern. AFAIK they were cautioned to only drink water out of bottle's.
