Tips and Tricks for RVing Baja Sur:
- Take spare parts with you. Replacement parts such as trailer tires and diesel truck parts can be tricky to acquire in Mexico.
- Make sure your cell phone works in Mexico. If you need to call roadside assistance you will need a cell phone.
- Stay in RV parks that are within walking distance of town amenities. You’ll get a bit of exercise in while picking up supplies and see a bit of the local color. Or bring your bike!
- Be prepared for rougher roads. Take extra care securing your loads and keep tires and shocks in good shape. Roads can be narrow and twisting along Mexico 1 from Tijuana to Cabo San Lucas. So drive slowly, especially if your rig is large, and stick to daylight hours.
- For large RVs and motorhomes (and if you are towing), the Mexicali East border crossing is an easy one to use — there’s plenty of space and this crossing avoids the congestion of town.
Whether you’re RVing in Baja California Sur for a couple of weeks or an entire season, you can’t go wrong with an RV. Take regular security precautions, plan ahead, and pack the essentials for a relaxed journey in the sun. You’ll find you’re in the best company.
