    Baja is a completely different animal. Apart from the three most northern cities; Tijuana, Ensenada, Baja's population is only 340,000. The supply chain is very small and slow so prices and availability of produce, Mexican products, and imports are much higher. Mainland Mexico is much more affordable. I too am a boondocker and have boondocked in Mexico for over 20 years (live here full-time). Our weekly supermarket bill rarely runs over $50 US. Mainland we only use debit/credit for everything. If they don't accept cards we don't buy it, including fuel.

    Gas Prices are Truly the best in Texas and NM from my own travel experience. I love when you do these COST videos because you bring out so many different aspects. When I was driving around Germany and France the gas was around $12-13 a gallon and that was a few years ago, so yeah Mexico always seems a bit HIGH, but the value is THERE for the amazing places to see, especially in Central Mexico state of Puebla where the Archeological sites and huge, beautiful Churches are magnificent!

    Hey, Carolyn... I'm one of your 10k NEW subscribers to your RV channel. Months away from retirement and renting an RV, like an Across America RV is on my bucket list. Watching you and your trials and tribulations while on the road and trying to live off the grid throughout America. So... You have inspired me to bring myself up to taking the plunge and seeing if an RV'ing is for me. I will miss your extended play travel videos for a few weeks, but your worth the wait! I'll be checking out your other vid's in the meantime!☺️👍🐿

    Thank you for the excellent information. Looking forward to next week's video. Did you use Google Translate when in Baja? I was a solo backpacker before covid and found that app to be wonderful - especially in Asia. Much better than before Google existed when I used the little language guides put out by the Lonely Planet.

  • @marydawkins4190
    @marydawkins4190 Місяць тому

    Thank you such a detailed breakdown!! Baja definitely sounds more pricey than the mainland and that makes sense. Fuel is for sure more costly throughout Mexico. I really think even Baja can be done for less. But I also realize your food choices make it more costly and that's fine, it's a choice. I do know that the mainland will have the extra fees for a lot of tolls. No road tolls in Baja? Either way, thanks for the breakdown. I hadn't really thought about refilling water for drinking and cooking. This will be an issue for me since I use two 5 gallon jugs that I just take out to fill. At least there are Purificado stations. Sounds like our water fill kiosks. At least I don't have the huge language barrier! It's also sad to me that fresh food markets run by the farmers themselves seem like a thing of the past for Mexico and that accounts for the poor produce selections. Wandering Individual Single rv group, WINS, has a Baja trip coming up this fall. It's a fun group.

    I'm remembering you talking about a water filter not too long ago, could you have used that in Baja? I just got a used rv in a little village on the Sea of Cortez and I was thinking of getting one for that.

    Wow the prices for paper goods are high in Baja..Here in Puebla paper towels are 3 rolls for 30 pesos and toilet paper for a 4 pack are 30 pesos also, I guess gas was your highest expense.was gasoline.

    I thought about the Waggle, but I don't like Verizon, and I don't want to pay for a subscription either. I bought a Govee, a lot cheaper and the app works great. It doesn't require a subscription and it monitors the temp in my trailer, and the humidity. You can also set temp and humidity alerts, either using a range, either below that range or above, or set alerts for specific temp and humidity numbers.
