On the topic of overheating, I believe you had a LS engine upgrade to you motor home. LS engines seem to run hotter in temperatures above 90 degrees. GM realized this but never published it. Their fix was to install two electric fans to the radiator, and remove the fan clutch. One of the fans come on when the AC is on and the other comes on around200 degrees. It works, I had a installed one on my truck. My engine stays around 210 degrees or lower. I pull a travel trailer. This has helped me a lot. Before my engine would overheat. If you even install one large fan it would help in conjunction with the existing fan clutch.

You did well to make the 5-hour round-trip back to the border to get the proper paperwork. You really do not want to be caught in a foreign country illegally, even if chances are high you won't be checked. All it takes is one authority doing his or her job to find yourselves in an extremely sticky situation, and the embassy will be able to do very little for you. That said, great video and enjoy your stay!

They could just claim asylum if they’re caught, no problemo 😀

Losing your FMM is no joke when you're going through an airport; never tried it with a land crossing. You did the right thing.

Alison is so funny. I don't think Eric truly appreciates this - let her improvise! 😂

There is another van life couple that had their van confiscated in Mexico. It's been a few months and they still have not gotten it back. Their YT is Tenaj and Tino travels

Love how you two travel in the off season! Makes it so much more adventurous!!

She does give a Breaking Bad vibe, lol. Good luck in Mexico! It is amazing down there. Water is a must! Travel insurance is very important! We were just in Mexico in March. The whole immigration thing is a pain because everyone says something different. When flying down and back, all we needed was our passport stamped. The military checkpoints were a little scary, but the taxi driver dealt with them. Mexico is wonderful. We enjoyed the Quintana Roo area! Stay safe and have fun! 🙂

Have a great time ⏲️ in Mexico 🇲🇽 and stay safe 🙏 👍 ❤.

The Paul McBeth Foundation installed a disc golf course at Rancho El Camino. I’d love to see you guys play it!

@@1982MCI Its a tax. When you fly into the country its included in your airfare. Not everyone at a land border needs it so they put the onus on you to get it. Its frustrating because theres different explanations online and of course people bragging about never getting it and not getting into trouble. basically, if you're going farther than the "free zone" (zona libre) or in Mexico more than a few days you need this form.

My first trip to Mexico in a Eurovan Camper in 2001 was almost identical to your experience. We made a wrong turn right away, ended up on narrow side streets, got the van papers and then missed the step about the FMM. Had to make a return trip back to the border. It was not a good first day but the rest of the trip was fabulous! When we told everyone about our harrowing first day they said “welcome to Mexico” grinning the whole time 😄 Enjoy!

That is how my luck is also LOL if I'm told I am not going to need something I'm going to need it, and vice versa. Best to have all scenarios covered

Guessing that the two different types of coolant are one for each vehicle and they use different types, because you shouldn't mix different types or colored coolants, especially mixing OAT and IAT coolants together, or you can end up with a big repair bill! I like those collapsible safety cones! I need to get a few for my personal vehicle and about 15 for my work truck/trailer, they will save a LOT of room over the rubber ones I have!

Love Safety Wing! They saved my butt in Colombia when I caught Hepatitis A from bad food or water and had to stay in the hospital for a week.

If clementine is still having the overheating issue, you can always add an electric 'pusher' fan on the front and add a simple switch (on a relay), or thermostatic switch. You might consider a trans. temp. gauge as well (that might be your issue?).

I'm STILL renovating my 1990 Winnebago Warrior 21ft class c. It's been 2 years and I've been living vicariously through y'all and Clementine. I've made that Mexico trek before and learned about that immigration form too. But, don't worry, later on down the road, I'm sure an amigo will offer you a "form" for $50 and tell you that it's ok. Lol, guess what?!?! It's not ok.. ask me how I know. Lol😅 But, you did the right thing by going back. I know it's a pain, but if you look at it from the perspective of it being part of "the journey ", you can have some joy in the process. I wish ❤ safe, joyful journeys for y'all.

Hopefully the end (and tons of awesome adventures) are in sight! Sorry you learned about that form the hard way, too! At least we'll never make those mistakes again 😬

Next time, try Puerto Penasco, MX. You passed it when traveling from Phoenix to California. It's a like a small Cabo. It's only 3 hours from Phoenix.

Hello Allison and Eric. Interesting watch as always. Back in 1990s, I went to Cuidad Juárez on foot from El Paso. Nobody stopped me at Mexican immigration, I just walked right in.

You could have entered Mexico using the East Port of Calexico, just east about 7 miles on the I-8, using Highway 7. cross the border and a straight shot to San Felipe. !!!

Oh no way! It's a bit too hot for us, but it was a fun little stop 👍

We had friends that took the bus (2009-ish?) not realizing they needed to get off the bus with their stuff to go to immigration. They got all the way to La Paz and had to go back to the border to get the visiting visa form. While they were bummed about it, I pointed out that they had been able to bring on the bus with them about $20k worth of boat parts and supplies. While they went to the border, the supplies and boat parts stayed on their boat in the marina. Subsequently, they sailed their sailboat to the South Pacific. The boat was sold in New Caledonia, and they came home on a plane with a baby on the way. When we drive north and need to check out, it is not easy. We have to park along the 15D ….walk across 4 very busy lanes of traffic, because they took out the lane that used to let cars make a left hand turn into MX Immigration. The other option is to drive miles north of the immigration center, make a U-Turn by a gas station, drive to immigration, get the papers worked out, get back on HWY 15-D going south until you find a place to make a U-turn to go back going north on HWY 15-D, which adds about an hour to the drive to Nogales, AZ.

You'd think with that form being so important they would say something or give it to you at the boarder. It must happen all the time!

Palapas are shade umbrellas made of fronds.

You guys going to Baja in your motorhome reminds me of our family trips down there,we even had that type of motor home . Well without the upgrades of course. It would take us about four days with my Dad driving or a week if my Mom drove ,of course this was back in the 80s and 90s . I don't know what the place is like four decades later

going back was the right move y'all.

We live in AZ. Go to Mexico all the time. You don’t need a form when crossing the border by land. Same for Canada. You do need the insurance though.

Get copies and if you get pulled over, the police don't take the orginals.

What I learned first in Spanish and what I still remember: tengo sed de agua por favor, tengo sed de Cerveza por favor, & tengo sed de margarita por favor 😂

You also need a tip for both vehicles if you leave Baja

When traveling via land you don't really need the FMN lol. Less than 7 days, definitely don't need it. The only time I ever needed to fill one up is when I would walk across. Never when I drive across

it's funny to watch my city Mexicali in your videos, I go through that border a lot, actually, I play golf at Desert Trail RV Park, which has a nice Golf Course. I hope you guys have a great time in our Baja California state, yees the full state name is "Baja California". If you drive all the way down to Cabo, that's in the "Baja California Sur" State

Funny because there is an online form you could of filled out before entering!

8:25 this just gave me "Sicario" vibes, The movie.

We stayed overnight in a Casino in Washington state and someone (maybe the casino) was shooting off fireworks from the time we got there around noon til 10 o'clock at night. I thought it was gunfire too. It was so random. Just every now and then a big boom went off. I thought maybe someone was hunting with a shotgun because we were near a wooded area. But, no. It was fireworks. Finally, around dark, they really let go and were shooting fireworks continuously for the next hour. (That's when I finally figured out what it was because I could finally SEE them. LOL Thanks for your video!
