  • We've done the planning and research as much as possible so now it's time for the rubber to hit the Mexico road. We're going down to Puerto Penasco or Rocky Point for the first time. We were denied in our HDT rig two years ago but we're two years smarter and now have a plan to get across....we hope.
    Our trip takes a turn towards the East Coast. So we are almost done with our 2024 Western Leg of our Summer of 2024. Does that make sense? We want to detour down to Mexico before we get to the coast. Camping in Mexico is an itch we have to scratch. Let's hope it doesn't bleed.
    We are not Snow Birds but we do like nice warm weather and heading west is the best.

    RV Camping
    We like to "Switch it Up" between resorts and campgrounds and boondocking is always an option.
    We draw inspiration from Keep Your Daydream KYD, Less Junk More Journey, Finding Our Someday and Changing Lanes. We normally travel in an HDT similar to UA-cam channels Suite Travels, Switch it Up and Watts on Wheels. I also get some ideas from the editing style of Happily Ever Hanks (Happilyeverhanks) #thankshanks and believe it or not, I actually learned something from MRBeast Mr Beast video's as well.
    Our journey is the destination. We want to share in our experiences in our discovery of What's Next.

    We use the TSD card for diesel fuel and save a bundle each time we fill up our Big Rig. We also use it to fill up our Onan generator.
    The big blue boards (XL version) we use sometimes to get us "un-stuck" is from:

    Our Class C is built by Thor Motorcoach on a Ford F550 chassis. It's a production build Magnitude model XG32. We tow our red Jeep Wrangler Sahara behind it. We've made some modifications to it so that we can boondock comfortably. Lithium batteries, Victron 3000w multi-plus inverter, dual alternators charge while traveling and mods to the water system greatly enhance it's boondocking capabilities.
    Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.
    Vehicles:
    2016 Volvo VNL780 "Voyager"
    2016 Smart fortwo "Pathfinder"
    2019 SpaceCraft Custom built semi-trailer 5th wheel "Orion"
    2023 Thor Magnitude XG32 Class C "Curiosity"
    2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara "Artemis"
    Power system:
    3250 watts of solar with Panasonic panels
    30.1 KWH of Lithium batteries
    2- 4K watt Magnum Inverters deliver power as if we are on shore power
    2- 4K watt 240v Cotek Inverters deliver additional power for our LG Mini split HVAC and stove
    Coachnet is our roadside assistance company we use but hopefully we don't use them too often. LOL

    I'm so very happy you had a safe trip.
    In I think, 1977, when traveling through Mexico was still pretty safe, I was in the University of Arizona Marching Band in Tucson, the Governor of Sonora, Mexico, invited the band, all 210 of us, to march and perform for them in their Carnivale in Guaymas. We rode in very comfortable modern busses down very good roads to Nogales, AZ. Then we had to cross into Mexico on foot through the border offices where we were then picked up by very uncomfortable Mexican busses. They took us over very rough roads to a two-story motel outside of Guaymas where sand came out of the shower heads. It was right on a rocky beach that had a nice boardwalk which we enjoyed in the evenings after our duties of the day were finished. We stayed there for 3 days and had to march in their parades every day and give concerts in the city square twice a day. The busses would pick us up every morning and take us into the city for our day. It took a long time for the restaurant to feed all of us for each breakfast and lunch, but they fed us very well. We were brought back to our motel after our 2nd concert and were on our own for dinner. A group of us discovered a very nice resort nearby our motel where we had a really great meal. On our last day after our morning concert, the Governor had invited us to a brand new resort further up the coast where we were treated like his guests of honor and had a wonderful brunch outside with a live band and dance floor. That resort had a really nice beach. The Governor greeted us and thanked us for our performances. We headed back home the same way we had come, tired but filled with happy memories.
    It is one of my favorite memories from college. I often wonder if we were part of the reason Mexico became interested in having their own school marching bands that you can see now every year invited to the Tournament of Rose's Parade.

    Hi guys!! Beautiful beach front property for your tent camping!! So funny we started camping with a big tent when thekids were young, got a tent trailer, then a 28' pull behind. Now in our 42' 5th wheel full time by ourselves. Don't think we'll ever go back to a tent!! 😂 Thanks for taking us along, stay safe...💜

    My husband and I have been watching you for several months now (a few videos back you said that you knew people were watching but they hadn't yet subscribed. I think you said something like, "You know who you are!" Yeah, that would be us 🙄😂). David, don't knock Sondra's stickers! I have basically bonded with her over that...and the Memory Keeping too. My Dave doesn't understand it either. He once told me that I won't use up all of the stickers I have before I die 😂. We watch and look forward to your videos each week. We are planning to spend this coming winter in the Southern U.S. (Snowbirds from Ontario, Canada; how cliche is that?) and you have given us so many ideas of interesting things to do and great places to visit while we travel (we have a 38 foot fifth wheel). We'll definitely be watching (and then we'll literally be watching for you on the road when we get down there!). THANK YOU so much for all of your hard work and taking the time to videotape your experiences. It's a valuable resource and we really appreciate it!

    Rocky Point is awesome. We have a condo right down the beach from your campsite and go often, rent it when we’re not there. Glad you went and showed how good the road is and the beauty of Rocky Point., one of our favorite places in the world. Stop signs at lights are confusing. You are good if light is green. Sometimes they don’t work, though. Thus the stop signs. I hope you can go back and spend some more time, hopefully with your rig. If so, check out Playa Bonita campground.

    David and Sondra sálate from Mexico City. I just want to tell you that you are the best all the pictures and scenes you take in the north, south, east or west are incredible. Your travel into Mexico and the food was just a wish for me to visit that part of. Mexico but when you say “Oh that’s wild” it looks that we Mexicans are wild. That we live in the wilderness, and you know what? You are right you are totally right. The stop signs was really funny. I want to invite you to visit other sites of Mexico take a fly and visit Cabo’s or Riviera Maya or the beaches in Oaxaca let you be treated like king and queen in a five star hotel or visit Mexico City and see the magnificence of the museums and the Aztec ruins. Pyramids. My best wishes in your travels and God bless you always. And remember living in the wilderness is some times very fun.

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  Місяць тому +1

      Thank you. We plan to travel down to Baja in the future and see the other areas of Mexico. When we say "that's wild", we mean that it is very different from our expectation or what we're used to and familiar. It's part of the reason to visit other countries is to be exposed to those "wild things". We love the food, culture and people of Mexico which is why we continue to travel there. Gracias for your comments and watching the channel.

    How fun! About 30 years ago, my husband, our three oldest children, my mother and I along with a few cousins went down to Rocky Point and camped in tents at a campground with big walls around it. I can't remember the name of the campground. But it seems it was on the south side of the town, and it was right on the beach. It was so fun! That low tide is amazing. We had gone to Disneyland with the children, but they liked the beach so much more. The town looks a lot bigger now. I did get trapped by a hidden stop sign. There was a big delivery truck right in front of it so I couldn't see it. Immediately a police man walked over and stopped me. I couldn't speak Spanish but two of my cousins were with me, one who could speak a little Spanish. She got me out of the situation.

At least there were no mosquitoes like there would be on Ocracoke Island or Hatteras Island! And flies that bite just as bad! I hope all was well when you got back to the Volvo and home on wheels.
