    I love watching how great you two work together on everything! My husband and I are so similar in how we divvy up chores and get things done. Y’all have a nice grove together that shows what a good relationship looks like. Raising such an amazing young man!! All of these experiences will be very precious memories for all of you!! ❤❤❤

    Are you installing the new Victron 50 AMP DC to DC charger? In terms of the heat, you should be OK on the Pacific side of Baja Sur till late July. Anything on the Sea of Cortez will mean your AC is working hard and you will have battery challenges. The good news is the east side doesn’t have many campers or snow birds filling up campgrounds with electrical charging capability. As a result the more established & expensive campgrounds will have spaces with power for your AC.

    Taylor reminds me of my wife amy. She is like work work work. You can meet her in our vlogs but she can be shy. She makes an appearance in out philly cheesesteak battle. She is non stop. Great preparation guys. I fight the urge to overpack when I was younger. I was much more streamlined but now for some reason, maybe getting older I always have the need to pack too much.😎 so usually I’ll pack three times and thin it out

    Thanks so much!! I definitely feel like I’m non-stop, especially when gearing up for a trip! Laying everything out while packing has helped me sooo much because then by the time I’m packing it I can usually get rid of a few things 👍🏼 But yolo, if you overpack it’s really no big deal. Sometimes it’s nice to have options! 😊😊

    Hi, I like to layout my things before packing with a target of removing 25-50% of my gear before packing 🤪. When I first did this I told myself I could always buy something if needed. Strangely enough I have never had to buy anything I left behind 🤓🤓🤓.
