    Great video as always. Im glad Im not the only husband that loves to tease his wife when shes nervous about something :) A little tip for the rough roads, knock a few psi out of your tyres and it will make a massive difference to your comfort levels off road.

      We learned that after arriving! We aired down after we left! Thanks for watching Andy! a little teasing is healthy for the relationship in my opinion!

    The bantering is funny, the best part of a good relationship.
    Those roads look brutal on the van and Taylor's nerves.
    Nice shredding on the waves.
    Always a thumbs up 👍

      Thank you Jackie!!!! The van is doing pretty well with handling those washboard roads!

    That road was a good test for the van build. Nothing broke? Not even that wine glass at the end!

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  3 года назад

      Haha nope no issues, our stuff is built strong 💪🏻 hopefully this doesn’t Jynx it on the way back north!
      The only thing we seen so far is a few split in the caulk or wood filler. But I think that could also happen due to the change in temps

    Yah those roads can be a little un-nerveing on the cliff-side, and bumpy to boot! Was wondering if you have a compressor so you could air down the tires a bit to soften the jarring on your home-on-wheels.
    Looks like the destination was worth the effort though. Happy surfing!!

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  3 года назад

      We aired down after we got there a have a small compressor takes awhile to fill up, need a bigger one!!! It was definitely worth it, thanks Adrian!

    Oh hey guys! Two videos weekly, 👍yes! You are spoiling us. Been down there a few years back & I get the vibes. Surfing, fishing, camping, so much memories. No lack of sun rays that's 4 sure. Also good to see other campers in the area as on your way down there from California there were caravans of campers heading north 🤔. Life's a beach!!

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  3 года назад

      That’s right Buck! Hopefully twice a week for a good bit moving forward. Not sure if I want to formally announce it yet haha.

    If you take air out of your tires they soften up and it will make those roads a lot smoother

    That was one crazy trip! Kevin, be cautious on washboard roads, they can break suspension parts. It's worth taking your time. Imagine breaking a tie-rod out there? Great drone video with birds over the waves! Nice!

    How you holding up with no AC ? I’m on the fence about whether I want it or not.

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  3 года назад

      Definitely don’t need it in Baja in the winter months the weather is perfect. Can’t imagine not having bunk windows though.
      AC requires a bigger battery bank too so just way more expensive and less space for fun things on the roof!
