    Glad you figured out the water fill situation. We've spent so many nights at Playa La Pastora just north of Todos Santos. One of my favorite surf spots down there. If you are still there, go to La Esquina for breakfast. Super chill cafe with awesome atmosphere. They had ukulele jams too where everyone come with their ukes. Usually craft beer on tap and two for one happy hour. Not sure if they are doing all that right now though with restrictions. I hope so. For authentic and the best cheap chilaquiles for breakfast, you can't beat Alma y Many's. Sorry with all the recommendations but this is really making me want to be there! Have fun!

      Thank you!!! La Pastora is my favorite as well, I’m goofy so there’s rights and lefts there, love it. Plus no sea urchins!
      We didn’t get a chance to try any of the restaurants near by which is a bummer after seeing your comment.
      Just checked out your channel I’m envious of you and your fam! You all are an inspiration!

    Do you have a cordless drill, if so try the drill attachment pump from HD and it might work with your presure valve and keep you from lifting heavy containers.

    Another option would be to get a second pump to keep as a spare. That way you could use it to fill from jugs if you have to gravity and you have it on hand if your main dies. Would have helped Trend and Allie a few weeks back. Food for thought.

    It's good to hear that 2wd hasn't been a problem.
    The duel fill for the water is what I had on a truck camper. It's a good idea, I was going with just a gravity fill but now I may go with both.
    Looks like you are having fun.

    Just curious on your cabinet and counter builds out of all wood. It seemed like from the sound of those bumpy dirt roads that there was a lot of rattling and squeaking. Are you experiencing any joints or connections coming loose? If so do you think 80/20 would be a better choice for those conditions? I’m getting closer to that stage of my build and I’m torn on whether to spend the extra $ on 80/20. Thanks. Get some surf.

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  3 роки тому

      Nah our wood cabinets are solid, really strong with the 3/4” inch ply. I think the rattling is our stove top which rattles a bit even on paved roads but it’s just really loud on dirt.
      The only wear and tear I see is on seems where there’s caulk but it’s likely to change in temps as wood expands/contracts.
      80/20 could be lighter so that’s a big benefit over strength (I think atleast)

  • @sued115
    @sued115 3 роки тому +1

    Do you have a separate GPS such as Garmin when you don't have service? A drill pump ($10) would be good to pump into your tank instead of holding the water jug up for so long.

    Hi - I am from the UK - personally I would be more nervous travelling in the US than Mexico - silly really as I'm White Middle Class European... the fact we and the Police here don't carry guns is the main difference. I have traveled through Africa and most of Europe..... your nervousness about going to Mexico ... think about people who live in the US who are 'different' they experience the same anxiety as your now every day... Only because they are 'different' be friendly and try not to worry - you are as safe as you are at home ... just realise you 'different' :) I have been to the US many years ago and honestly California worried me more than going to Mexico and considering the Mexico border is the busiest land border in the world should tell you this few bad stories that you have heard are statistically one in a million. Just like London Heathrow airport is the busiest airport in the world - and we also have one in a million issues. obviously that's a generalisation ;)
