  1. Don't forget how you got near terminal constipation last time. Dennis. Eats those veggies and hope you packed some Miralax.

  2. Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video like always, so glad you are enjoying Mexico, keep up with the awesome content πŸ‡²πŸ‡½πŸ™πŸ€—

  3. On laundry detergent, I switched to the detergent sheets – no more big heavy jug that takes up a lot of room. Your provisioning reminds me of us preparing to sail our boat down Baja and all of the food items we would buy in the US. And the border crossings… we left our boat(s) in Mexico and would return to the US, then go back to the boat with a truck full of gear, food etc – always nervous crossing. UGH! Funny – we still call speed bumps "topes"!

  4. Glad you made it across. I can't wait for you to find the old plate one or two videos down the road.
    Definitely an English lady with the little collar popping out.
    Glad to see you got the lift. Definitely helping with the near river crossing.
    I've never been closer to van life than right now. A car drove through my house and destroyed the kitchen and living room. The whole thing is condemned and I'm doing some hotel life. Wonderful opportunity to get rid of 60% of what I own.
    Insurance is doing good with me, but I'm definitely feeling displaced.
    Seeing you guys doing your thing really makes me feel better.

  5. Yaaay!! happy for you. We've been watching Baha videos for two yrs(one more year to go!) as we wait for hubby to retire before we can rv down there. I loved your other Mexico adventure videos and am looking forward to seeing Baha and getting more tips and tricks! buena suerta😊

  6. My love & I are headed that way in less than a week.
    I’m a free spirit… & have never let fear dictate especially other people’s… but my people are freaked that we’re doing this trip & telling countless horror stories to dissuade us. We’re still going but I’ve gotta be honest, they’ve rattled me a bit. Are we really safe in a new truck, new RV, on this wild, wooly, & remote walk about?…
    Enjoy yours!
    We may see you along the way. ❀️

  7. Glad to see the 3" lift worked for you. I've been researching this for our class C. Did you use Weldtec Design for your lift? TY

  8. I misspoke in the video! (border crossing stress brain). FMMs can be issued for 180 DAYS (6 MONTHS) NOT 60 days!

  9. At first I thought you were going to forget to get the FMM, then I saw that you are traveling to mainland, and you didn't get the Temporary Import Permit (TIP) for the RV, so I thought that was going to be the thing. But you fooled me! Did you get the TIP??

  10. Great video Liz and Dennis. Looking forward to your Mexico adventures. On the laundry detergent topic, check out Tru Earth Eco strips laundry detergent. They are great and also from a great company here in Canada, but I’m sure you can order hopefully to Mexico. LoL. They also may have an affiliate program for you to check out, as I know Downie Live is sponsored on his vlogs. Anyway take care safe travels, Peace and Calm. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜ŽπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

  11. Even after my last gloom and doom warnings, you still find a way to make Mexico beautiful, which it is of course. Happy and Safe travels.

  12. Hey there are lots of people that make this mistake but there is no β€œA” after the β€œTI” so it’s actually like TE and then Juana not TIA JUANA. 😊 now you know

  13. The RV looks great guys! Glad the lift kit is helping you. Next time you're in San Diego you should upgrade to our WTD progressive leaf springs. That will really make a big difference on those rough Baja roads!

  14. Sooo happy to see you two exploring in Mexico. That is amazing. Have to hand it to you with your prep work. I’ve noticed in your travels you two really have a solid outline and understanding of what your getting into. buena suerte y mis mejores deseos 😊
