I lived in San Diego and graduated HS and College in San Diego. We went to Tijuana all the time. It was totally safe back in the day. so I often have to teach people this: There is no “A” in Tijuana so it is pronounced like Tea Juana. No “A” and now you know. You Answered a lot of great questions! Thank you 😊

We are Canadians that have been traveling all over the USA for months now and even been in a less desirable part of Detroit but not once have we felt unsafe. Thanks so much for being so honest and telling it how it is. Obviously traveling anywhere is subjective and it’s up to you to do your due diligence first and be prepared for any and all challenges and situations. That said if the Cops are as bad or worse than the criminals then we would really have to think twice about going to The Baja in our RV.

We also rv in Mexico. We mostly stayed in the mountains. There’s a large rv community there. We felt very safe and welcomed while we were there. We followed some simple safety tips. Like you said, no travelling at night, stayed on main road and toll roads if possible, and don’t travel alone. We LOVED our time there and we’re returning next year. The people are amazingly friendly and very family oriented. Driving through the USA to get to Canada is the same way. We try to travel in a safe way. I’m glad you had a good trip. I hope we run into your family one day!

@@LessJunkMoreJourney This winter we stayed at Roca Azul RV Park in Jocotepec which is south of Guadalajara and at Villa Patzcuaro Garden Hotel & RV Park in Patzcuaro. We also visited Zihuatanejo. It’s a beautiful sea town off the bay of (you guessed it!) Zihuatanejo. We didn’t take our RV there since we were meeting family there for a little vacation but it would of been fine if we did. The roads are very nice in that area. While there we checked out RV Park Playa Linda (also known as RV Park Ixtapa). We’ll be staying there for a bit next winter. It has a pool, washroom, security, huge lot, and it’s right by the beach. It’s secluded but you’re steps away from resorts, and 30 min drive from the city. We pull a fifth wheel so there’s many cool places to stay that we simply don’t fit in. You would fit in many places with your class C and the roads are great. Stick to the toll roads and you won’t have any issues. Bonus info: There’s many places in the mountains that have hot springs. Roca Azul have a pool that is refilled every morning with hot mineral water. There’s even water park that are fed by hot mineral water. Check out Chimulco Trailer Park. It’s attached to Parque Acuatico Chimulco. They have a lazy river that is fed with hot mineral water! Additionally, the nights are very cool, so no need to run the air conditioner!

Yes, I love your first hand review of baja, i was agree with everything you said out loud in my empty room 😂 Our kids knew the routine, once we cross the border and get into town the radio gets turned off and no one talks until we reach the "safe" narrow highway. We actually did break down in Mexicali once and couldn't believe how nice and helpful everyone was, so much more than even in the US. A young man that worked at a mechanic shop was sent by a good samaritan unbeknownst to us, and came peddling up on his bike with tools to help, and no one wanted anything in exchange. Im so glad your family was able to experience a place we love so much.

Our California mountain Church’s would take high school teens down to build houses for the Oaxacan people in Vicente Guerrero just North of San Quintín once a year usually in February. No electronics allowed (except) walk-in talkies. The term we used to explain how to deal with situations in Baja is ‘Flexico’. You have to be flexible. I would love to take a trip in the RV to Mexico however my wife never wanted to go with us. She was afraid. Even though the major issues are in Tijuana and ‘mainland’ Mexico. God bless you for allow me to follow along on your Baja Journey. Tell your brother, our Youth Pastor took his family down with there RV to a beach town San Felipe and on the way back the Police robbed them. Mexico needs a lot of Prayers.

Pro tip for everyone in the RV community or travelers anywhere...Guys, carry a fake "donor wallet" with an acceptable amount of corruption cash, or for pick pockets, or just a normal American style hold up. Then carry your real wallet / ID in a neck, waist or ankle wallet or front pocket. Same for the ladies, important ID, cards, papers, passport in something other than your purse or clutch. ....think of it as travel insurance, expect the worst, hope & pray for the best. Safe & happy travels 😊😎

Twenty-seven years ago we visited my mother in her winter home in Arizona. While there we made a few side trips with her. One of them included driving down to Baja, the northern tip, and camping on the beach in a tent. We went with a few of my cousins who vacationed there every winter. It was a great experience but I, too, got pulled over by the police. I had two of my cousins with me, one of which could converse in Spanish. There was a hidden stop sign that I didn't see. Thankfully he let me go but it was a little scary. Other than that we had no problems and it is a good memory.

I have a mobile Starlink subscription and wanted to use it on the road, while traveling, in areas with minimal cell service. But, I was not really wanting to cut open my antenna to mount it horizontally because when we get to a campsite sometimes the trees can be in the way and I can move to a better spot with the stand. So I mounted my antenna to a large plywood base with bolts and butterfly nuts and left it in the back bed of my pickup truck and it works fine. Then if needed, I can unbolt it and move it. I mounted it about 3/4 the distance of the bed towards the cab and have'nt seen it moving with the wind, etc. I figured if the motors break, I'll install it in the horizontal mount I already have. But after 1 year driving around it works with my 12v-110 sine wave inverter in the back seat with the modem inside the cab and the cable running out my sliding back window with a cardboard spacer.

As a Canadian, I can assure you that crossing the border into the US (driving) can be quite the experienceI I have to say that Canadian border patrol are particularly interested in whether Americans have guns as that is a significant cultural difference in Canada.... We do not "have the right to bear arms". All that being said, my family are spread out through USA and Canada and we feel fortunate to feel quite safe visiting them in the US.

I am so glad you had a great time. However, when our son in law,who is Border Patrol in AZ, states it is not safe to go to Mexico anywhere, it is not worth the risk anywhere. That includes all the resorts. The Cartel owns all of those. But getting to one can be dicey. We know that from a pastor friend who was stuck in jail for many days for nothing. He was vacationing there in a resort. You cannot compare it right now to the US violence, even though we are seeing many unfortunate changes here in the last couple of years. When we visited our daughter and were speaking to a local who had grown up on the border, the stories she told were indescribable. Especially with the children. So again glad you had a great time and I enjoyed your videos. But it is not apples to apples. The Cartel owns Mexico.

I recommend you don't refuse getting out of your car, although it's supper rare for what happened to your buddy, it's much more common to get extorted for some cash, if you refuse you will get yourself in a much worse spot. A buddy of ours did that while in a caravan of towed boats, he ended up getting arrested and going to Ensenada. He was out 24 hours later, but the boat was never seen again.

@theheartoftexas Жыл бұрын
In the US? No. Either you go to/stay in good areas where you don’t need protection, or, you inadvertently end up in a bad area where, quite honestly, you’re going to be up against people who are a lot better at using their protection than you are, and will probably use yours against you. And then of course, if you do use something, you will have to explain to the police and a court why you were justified. So bottom line is don’t do it. For Mexico, I think it’s illegal. You don’t want ANY interaction with the police in Mexico.

I had to kinda giggle when you compared Mexico to Baltimore I live very close to good ole Baltimore and despise any more if I have to go into it ... its so sad because it does have awesome places too see ... but no thank you its beyond sad the crime ...

I’m glad you are back in the US. Yes, there are bad places here, but you know where to stay away from…like Baltimore! My question wound be are you going to start taking the Viva more and leaving the RV at base or did you really miss the RV?
@LessJunkMoreJourney Жыл бұрын
We sure did miss the 5th Wheel so we think our future travels will be a mix.

A point of contention here: most violent crime in Baltimore (and most large US cities) is not stranger crime but gang on gang crime. In Mexico, however, you have the added risk of being targeted simply for being an American tourist. Doesn’t mean it’s a huge risk in Baja, but it’s still a unique risk that you don’t have in Baltimore and other large crime ridden cities.

It’s more dangerous RVing in Chicago, St Louis, Los Angeles, New York etc… 🤷♀️

100% there are sketchy parts of all countries (well maybe except Monaco ;)).

Big difference- at least in those cities you have the option of having a firearm, which when traveling, we always do! And as for those cities, we drive through, NEVER stopping.

Pro tip when paying a bribe! The more cops that show more the bribe goes up ! Try to negotiate with the cop as fast as possible! Best to be nice wile they shake you down 😂

Did you bother getting licences for the radios. Love your channel.
@LessJunkMoreJourney Жыл бұрын
The Mexican government has allocated UHF channels for this particular usage and they do not require a license.

With your Starlink, did you put the equipment away at night, or when you went on an excursion?
@LessJunkMoreJourney Жыл бұрын
Yes we put it away often, so that it would not get damaged.

It’s no go for me! Sounds fun but I think it would cause me too much anxiety to be there.

We were told not to drive at night around Loreto because the cows liked the left over heat on the pavement! I'd go back to Baja anytime but my wife won't go near the state.
