Hi Mike and Dana. Thank you so much for making this wonderful, informative video. My wife and I are planning on wintering in Baja California Sur this year.In this video you answered so many questions and eased our minds about so many of the concerns that we had regarding going there.
We have been doing our due diligence by watching a lot of videos and reading a lot of articles regarding Baja California Sur. In my estimation, hands down, this is the best video I have seen on the subject.Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
Y'all are awesome! Thank you!
so many fantastic recommendations. Thanks you two - excellent, informative video!
Thank you! We’re glad it was helpful!
Wow, great video!. Ive been going to Baja as a kid since 1967. It is a magical place but you have to take precautions as mentioned in this video. The drug cartels have ruined it for alot of Mexicans, such a shame. I agree, Loreto is a great town with excellent fishing. Ive driven the whole length of Baja four times and we owned a house on the mainland in San Carlos.
I have followed your entire trip to Baja; great job, very informative. It definitely helped alleviate some concerns about the area.
Glad we could help!
Super informative video guys! Love it!
Thanks a lot !!!
You guys do an amazing job!
Thanks! Hope it was helpful
Thanks for the video
Very informative, thanks for sharing your experiences!
Thank you for this great video!
Good presentation and format
Very helpful video. Thanks.😊
Thank you very informative I’m going in Jan 2024 carvanning with some other ladies and really looking forward to it.
That sounds awesome! Have a great time :) I’m glad our video helped you
First time visitor; good synopsis!
Thanks for watching!
good info . thanks
Whaaaat, you didn’t get out on the town streets at night ? Thats when the best street food stands are out.
great video. couple questions: (1) our vehicle is a (modern) diesel. is ULSD (ultra low sulfur diesel) just as common/easy to find as gas? (2) how often do you guys do this trip to Baja? if your rig (a truck pulling a 22' trailer) the ideal setup? (3) do you bring any toys along? (like electric fat tire bikes, or SUP boards, or anything?) . (4) if we just drove...are hotels cheap, clean & easy to find along the way? (not requiring reservations?) . Thanks! :)
Great footage and commentary! Where did you buy your bracelet/pass to gain access to Playa Balandra?
Thanks a lot! You pay at the entry to the parking lot of the beach!
👏
Your video has been very helpful. How did you keep your dogs cool? I'll be traveling with my dog and senior cat in a Dodge Caravan with a 10' cargo trailer. What months were you there? Thank you!
Thanks I’m glad it was helpful! We went during December/January so it never really got that hot. Maybe the hottest was around 28C? And the inside of our trailer usually remains cool even when hot out because of the max air vent fan. We have AC that can run off our batteries but we never had to use it !
@@LetsJustGoTravel Thank you.
Awesome video! Thank you!!
Do you have a list or spot where you list where you camped in each city please?
Like in San Felipe please?
Yes we do! We will be launching our website soon with all our itineraries :) Stay tuned for that.
How is your trailer holding up? It’s the exact model I want and I’ve watched you guys for awhile. I know you’ve had a few problems but overall would you buy it again?
We are still happy with this trailer but when people ask me if I would recommend they buy it, I always ask what type of camping they plan to do (weekends or fulltime etc). I would only recommend this trailer for fulltime if the owner had basic repair skills.
Just back from baja. Scams everywhere. Got robbed by two cops.😂
Oh no! That sucks sorry to hear that happened. We got lucky when we went and never dealt with anything like that! What the did the cops do?
What starlink do you have? If you have it does that mean you won't need a sim card?
We have the Gen 2 Starlink square dish with Roam! We found having both that and a Mexico SIM card combined was the best choice as we weren’t always at our trailer to use Starlink.
Hello. I have a Older Roadtrek Van that isn’t 4 x 4. I wonder if o would get stuck in the sand going to some of these beach places ? Will people say in the comments in i overlander as to how the roads are ?
Lots of people we saw also only had 2wd and still made it to the beaches. But we also did see a fair share of people getting stuck so be careful! Yes on some iOverlander listings (especially the really popular sites) there will be driving tips but things can always change due to weather and other conditions so take your time and scout on foot first just to be safe!
@@LetsJustGoTravel Thanks
What’s the length of your trailer?
This trailer was 19ft 8inch
700 per month or total
$512 a month, wow
It was 512 for a six month policy. They only gave the option for one month or six months
@@LetsJustGoTravel Many companies offer an annual policy option which has the advantage of being able to be used for multiple trips over the 12-month span of the policy, and it generally isn't a whole lot more money, certainly worth asking about. Also the travel trailer adds to the cost vs just a truck or van.
