Are you joking Nathan? I think you are so amazing and always making your van so efficient. You check everything, twice. Marissa is so lucky and so are the kids. What you bring to the table, is immeasurable. Happy journey .
Next time look at an Ember TT. Off road folks are raving about all the details and quality of new heavy duty builds. Three sizes. New quality of RV worth a look / research. Love the details, pros & cons of daily RV life.
I teared up a little bit when I saw Hensley's blankie. I was around when ya'll had to backtrack a few miles to retrieve her blankie one time on a hike when she was a toddler riding on Nathan's back.
I've got that same heater.Use the hot side only.Adding cold only makes it cycle.The higher the pressure the cooler it gets.Throttle it back to increase heat.Finicky but once figured out it works pretty well.Ive also found out using the onboard water pump versus city water is steadier.Overall better control.Hopes this helps.Viva Mexico!
I spent $30,000 on my solar install and I’m quite proud and happy with it. I don’t keep buying and renting RVs and updating each of them. You do you and I’ll do me. 🤷♂️
Here in MX now RVing. Mike Church's book on RVing Mexico one for baji and one for Main land Mx were very helpful for us. We solo RV with No worries here. Main rules of thumb.....drive during the day, and stay to toll roads. Love Mexico....these words describe the beautiful people here.....Faith, Family, Friends.....enjoy.
You guys make the best videos. I’m always so excited for Sunday and try to wait patiently for it to get posted. Can’t wait to see all your adventures in Mexico!
So glad you got your Rv upgraded before you left to go to Mexico. Love the water filter. Glad you fixed the bunk for the kids so they don’t roll out of bed. I like the fact you went to two different fast foods. I would have done that too! I love both of those places. Chick-fil-A and In and Out. Can’t wait to see your trip to Baja and see what that was like. See you soon! Safe travels.
I'm team Nathan/Brandon, but my hubby is team Marissa. Get your throw pillow in Baja or maybe a beautiful throw blanket to use as a tablecloth. (I'm using manta's from Peru on my Classic ) Prayers for a blessed journey ! Wanda & Vinnie
Love your videos. Enoy watching your children growing up. Wish I could go back in time and do the same with my children. Thank you for being such a fun family for them and us to watch.
Lol 😂 you guys are so funny, I’ve been wanting to go do the Baja for years, but my other half keeps saying no it’s not safe😞 I’m seeing so many of you guys going and coming back with no issues. I’m guessing I’m just going to have to leave her behind and just go solo 😂 You all enjoy your Baja trip, looking forward to watching all your adventures, be safe.
Great episode! I love preparing for a big trip like this. We’re so excited for your trip to Mexico and we’re looking forward to seeing the upcoming episodes.
In TN, you can 'lose' your DL and go to a DL station and they will take your picture and immediately issue you a new carboard license and then mail you a new laminated DL in a couple of weeks, leaving you with 2 official DLs.
Love you guys, I'm living in my 2004 25 foot RV and solo with my cat. I am not mechanically inclined and everything especially a repair is very expensive!! I've come to realize you got to be rich to travel like you guys ☺️
Y’all are BRAVE. 🙏🏼🙏🏼Please be cautious ! Last year cartels were in a gun fight causing passengers to be required to shelter in place on ships in the Baja Mexico region. According to warnings from the US Embassy there.
Hello there love all your videos keep them coming. You guys going on another vacation together thats awesome. Please becareful going there so much is going there. Have fun enjoy your time together. We been following you guys ever since your kids were little.... have fun enjoy stay safe out there on the roads Take care God bless you guys.
No worries about the food in Mexico, it’s fantastic! I have been in Mexico many times however not in my RV. I am sure it will be an adventure. Enjoy and have fun!
Very good! Excellent mods on the run! Im glad you are caravanning with STURDY people! That makes me feel better. I love you guys, living the dream life! Well except for the mattress and throw pillow!
Is there any place or video where you go into detail about the battery upgrade and the Ecoflow and everything else needed to make the conversion? We are shopping for the same RV and your setup for "OTG shore power" is exactly what we would like to do - an avoid the generator use.
Enjoyed the video. I was curious about your relying on the RV alternator to charge the house batteries. How did you know that the alternator was adequate for this load? Did you add a DC-DC charger or upgrade the alternator?
Great video. Question about the Acuva water filter. We are getting ready for our trip to Baja this winter and already have installed the Acuva water filter. We love it. Were you able to drink water from the campgrounds in Mexico through this filter or were you only using the Purified water fills in Baja?
We are taking a page from Heath & Allysa. We are heading to France and Switzerland in June to get a taste of #Vanlife in Europe. It should be an interesting excursion for sure can't wait.
Did y’all do another video on the Vivo battery/solar install? Or if you have more info on that system, I’d love to see it. Needing to do the same for my new to me Class C. Thanks!
Yes!!, Baja California is fine. All the way to Cabo. It's like the Florida of Mexico. You put me on ease with that detail. It's safe and stable. .. I'm watching 🙋🏽♂️
Our first trip to Rocky Point after crossing the boarder was stopping at a grocery store. Trying to be funny at an open serve your self pinto beans container my husband scooped up some beans asking for refried beans. Along with the beans was a cat poop! Next to the beans was rice. I asked if he wanted rice too. We’ve made a few trips down to different areas. Food was wonderful, great shrimp, & the people very friendly & helpful. Have a wonderful trip and don’t drink the water or use the ice.
We want to head south of the border but couldn't with our HDT. We also bought another RV to accomplish that trip which we'll do in the near future. Hope your prep work works out for the entire trip. 👍
We had a similar rv and took a regular sized queen memory foam mattress and cut it with a bread knife, yes a serrated bread knife lol. The area is very small. We brought home a newborn in it and all 3 of us laid in it sometimes. Now we have a skoolie with a king size temperpedic mattress that we can walk around! You couldn't pay me to go back lol (well maybe for a short trip to Baja 🤣). Have a good trip! Weather should be good!
Hello beautiful family, we have a Winnebago Trend 2017 and our Girard water heater went bad. The service department recommended the Furrion or the Girard 2. Do you like the Furrion so far, I know it’s early in your trip but I’m pretty sure your lady has taken those “long”showers she spoke about in the video. 😂 Any information provided will be very helpful, thanks and we are truly enjoying your journey so far.
Boy we would sure love to see you guys! We are just down the road at Sundance Cal-Am on foothills. This is probably the only time you have been this close!! How long you there until you go to Mexico?
Please get a couple of rachet straps to strap that Spock box closed. Lots of roadside deaths because they fly open and the human in us mandates that we recover every last thing! Other than that, have a ton of fun! It sounds like an amazing trip!
WOW! BAja. That MH looks smaller than the minnie winnie. I will be following you on your journey. I am going to Baja in mid March. I am going with a girl friend with her 30ft mh. We are going with Fantasy Rv tours. getting excited
Y’all are just such a good sports. To manage with two small children is such a small amount of space. I don’t know that I could do it. Lol safe travels to Mexico. Have a great time.❤
Nathan, you do realize that you're one of the luckiest men on the plant having been married to Marissa for 10 years. I would say the luckiest but then my wife might run across this and boy would I be in trouble the. Anyway you guys have fun in Mexico. If you know Outliers Overland they are in Baja right now for the next few months and have been the many times. They would probably be willing to help if you get in a pinch. Keep the good stuff coming and give the kids a hug for me.
Ok since you have the home base in Tennessee I think you are going to really use the Viva alot more excursions. I can see you getting a couple of solar panels for it to have redundancy. 5 Guys every time and never Chick-fil-Hate.
My brand new mattress topper made my carbon monoxide detector go off at midnight when I first put it on. I hope that yall didn't have that experience. I'm excited for the Baja series!!
Are you joking Nathan? I think you are so amazing and always making your van so efficient. You check everything, twice. Marissa is so lucky and so are the kids. What you bring to the table, is immeasurable. Happy journey .
Next time look at an Ember TT. Off road folks are raving about all the details and quality of new heavy duty builds.
Three sizes.
New quality of RV worth a look / research.
Love the details, pros & cons of daily RV life.
So cute to see the blanket. I'm with Barbara Knapp, I too remember that backtracking. That blanket has many memories of its own.
I teared up a little bit when I saw Hensley's blankie. I was around when ya'll had to backtrack a few miles to retrieve her blankie one time on a hike when she was a toddler riding on Nathan's back.
You remember that! Wow! Aww 🥰
She is not the only one to remember that moment. Good luck with Baja!!
@@LessJunkMoreJourney I'm and old school subscriber. I was here before Nathan coined the term Journeyers!
I remember that too! My first video was when you went to Great Sand Dunes many years back!
Pink rubber boots
....everywhere. So precious.
And the blankie
Love how you guys roll with the punches, good attitudes and laughs! Safe travels!
You really are the best parents and just a beautiful family. Safe travels in Baja and thoroughly thoroughly enjoy yourselves.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Be safe! Will be thinking of you all as you travel to Mexico.

Marissa, that bed definitely needs a throw pillow. Go get it, girl!!! 😍
Safe travels guys! Looking forward to seeing the new content!

Great episode! I love preparing for a big trip like this. We’re so excited for your trip to Mexico and we’re looking forward to seeing the upcoming episodes.
Thank you.
And now, another exciting episode of “Samaurai Bed Trimmer” not starring John Belushi!!!
Hensley has her Blankie, yall are ready for anything!
Your humor and shenanigans are so fun to watch
You should look at the State Department travel advisory

Love you guys❣️I'm living vicariously watching your journey❣️
Thank you.
Aww loved the laughs you shared while getting ready to go over the border! Can’t wait to see what you get into next! Be safe!
Thanks so much!!
No worries about the food in Mexico, it’s fantastic! I have been in Mexico many times however not in my RV. I am sure it will be an adventure. Enjoy and have fun!
Good to know!
Have a great time. I can't wait for next week !! Safe Travels to all ❤🤍💙
It gets interesting haha!
I Loved Marissa's statement; " Looks like you chewed it." I laughed out loud!
😂😂😂
Very good! Excellent mods on the run! Im glad you are caravanning with STURDY people! That makes me feel better. I love you guys, living the dream life! Well except for the mattress and throw pillow!

No sorry we don't.
God bless you on your adventure to Baja!!
Thanks 👍
The bar at the end of the RV park is pretty cool and the restaurant on the other end is good also. I was there a couple years ago Foothill village
Bread knife and electric knife are good for cutting foam.
Do you have a video on how to hook up the ecoflow to the alternator?
Enjoyed the video. I was curious about your relying on the RV alternator to charge the house batteries. How did you know that the alternator was adequate for this load? Did you add a DC-DC charger or upgrade the alternator?
You could add a second alternator like Dodge does with the Rams and use that second alternator to charge the batteries and act as a backup alternator.
Absolutely love watching all your videos. Stay safe and enjoy Mexico.
Thank you! Will do!
Prayers ❤️ jj is getting so big ! Have fun ! God bless ❤️
Great video. Question about the Acuva water filter. We are getting ready for our trip to Baja this winter and already have installed the Acuva water filter. We love it. Were you able to drink water from the campgrounds in Mexico through this filter or were you only using the Purified water fills in Baja?
Yes we did only purified water - A house filter to double filter isn’t a bad idea though.
I have followed your Family since Kinsley was a toddler.. I hope you have a lovely time In Mexico!
Thank you so much!!
Hensley. 😉
We bought 2 mattresses from Wilderness RV Mattresses. We like them enough that we bought the same things for our kids home.
Fun video. Have a safe and great time. Blessings
Thanks so much!
KYD keep your daydream, went to New Zealand and traveled. They broke a few windows in the rv but it was a great trip. And beautiful.
Be safe, have fun, and Nathan's job is to drive the RV!
We are taking a page from Heath & Allysa. We are heading to France and Switzerland in June to get a taste of #Vanlife in Europe. It should be an interesting excursion for sure can't wait.
So glad the electrical is working out.
You guys are awesome. It's definitely cozy. Caravaning looks like alot of fun. We're going to do that with my sister this summer around Alaska
Did y’all do another video on the Vivo battery/solar install? Or if you have more info on that system, I’d love to see it. Needing to do the same for my new to me Class C. Thanks!
We upgraded to 2 lithium batteries and used an Echoflo generator.
Yes!!, Baja California is fine. All the way to Cabo. It's like the Florida of Mexico. You put me on ease with that detail. It's safe and stable. .. I'm watching 🙋🏽♂️
His cutting skills are fantastic lol I feel your pain when it comes to sleeping on something without a topper.
Good luck. Look forward to seeing the journey.
Thank you!
I’m excited to see your Baja trip. We spend a lot of time in San Felipe and love it. I know you all will have an amazing trip.
I hope so too! Thank you.
That was a fun video. Thanks. B careful in Baja
I will be going fulltime with my 4 children end of next month and I am so excited.
Enjoy your next journey.
We will! Thank you.
have a fun safe time

You remind me of either one of the coaches in the superbowl of rving with the rv map hook-up plans on the drawing of the rv van
I had the same Rv. A Winnebago Trend. Loved it. It needed solar and lithium and a 12v fridge!!
Sometimes its the little things that make the biggest difference
We want to head south of the border but couldn't with our HDT. We also bought another RV to accomplish that trip which we'll do in the near future. Hope your prep work works out for the entire trip. 👍
Thank you so much. We will see how it goes in our small rig.
We had a similar rv and took a regular sized queen memory foam mattress and cut it with a bread knife, yes a serrated bread knife lol. The area is very small. We brought home a newborn in it and all 3 of us laid in it sometimes. Now we have a skoolie with a king size temperpedic mattress that we can walk around! You couldn't pay me to go back lol (well maybe for a short trip to Baja 🤣). Have a good trip! Weather should be good!
Totally agree! We are already missing our bed in the Solitide.
Hello beautiful family, we have a Winnebago Trend 2017 and our Girard water heater went bad. The service department recommended the Furrion or the Girard 2.

We are just getting started so we need some time to answer this one 😀
Baja!!!! Have a great time!!!!!
Love you guy's video. Have fun, be safe. Can't wait to See the next one🥳
Thanks so much!!
Boy we would sure love to see you guys! We are just down the road at Sundance Cal-Am on foothills. This is probably the only time you have been this close!! How long you there until you go to Mexico?
Hi Ron, our videos run a little behind so we have already left Yuma.
I would definitely buy a tee-shirt with ‘could have gone a lot worse!’ Lol Safe travels and I look forward to your Mexico posts!!
We have another video this Sunday.
We’ve been considering a trip down Baja. Will be very interested to see how it goes.
Please get a couple of rachet straps to strap that Spock box closed. Lots of roadside deaths because they fly open and the human in us mandates that we recover every last thing!
Other than that, have a ton of fun! It sounds like an amazing trip!
This is gonna be good 😊
Welcome to Yuma. Safe travels in Mexico.
Safe travels!
oh my heavens you guys just make giggle so much !!!!!!!!!!!
Have fun. I have friends in Baja.
like the part where you say i dosnt feel right to drill in the conter top but you say noting when you drill on on the roof of the rv haha
Haha! Good point!
Oh my gosh! I'm so excited for you guys!!
WOW! BAja. That MH looks smaller than the minnie winnie. I will be following you on your journey. I am going to Baja in mid March. I am going with a girl friend with her 30ft mh. We are going with Fantasy Rv tours. getting excited
Awesome, congratulations on your journey.
I love my Ecoflow RiverMax 600.
Safe travels should be a fun adventure. Already starting out that way lol
Y’all are just such a good sports. To manage with two small children is such a small amount of space. I don’t know that I could do it. Lol safe travels to Mexico. Have a great time.❤
Thank you so much!
This was great and I 😂 so hard. You guys are awesome and hurry up and get us to Baja cause, it’s cold here in Saskatchewan! ☺️❤️💙
I would absolutely buy a "That could have gone a lot worse" T-shirt from you guys.
😂😂😂
Whew!! Good luck with that!😜
I run my rv off two solar generators. They're great.
Can't wait to get back to Mexico!
Sen a few going to Mexico, they have,and are a great time there. Some have returned there again, they enjoyed it so much
Nathan, you do realize that you're one of the luckiest men on the plant having been married to Marissa for 10 years.

Whoo hoo!
Holy smokes we will be down there for a week on the first week of March, riding SxS's.. be too funny if we saw you on the Baja..
spold (18:43)... Spoiled. ;) Love the accent, gives me a smile at the most random times. Hah.
Have fun but be safe. Keep your neck on swivel. Would love to know if you feel safe there and how the boondocking works out for you.
The cutest family in America!🥰♥️🙏🏻
Aww , thank you.
Fold a blanket up to look like a throw pillow 😀. Dual purpose!
Good point!
I also use pillow shams to store extra towels, linens, etc. that way I can get pillows that are more storage but look pretty!!
