RVing Mexico in a Winnebago with Kids (Our Journey)

Welcome to our RVing Mexico family adventures!

After living full-time in Mexico for three years in Sayulita, Chacala, and La Paz, we decided to say adios to sedentary life and hit the road in an RV.

We departed Roseburg, Oregon on March 4, 2024 and returned 492 days (16 months) later on July 9, 2025, racking up just over 11,000 miles.

Along the way, we explored 21 states in Mexico and five U.S. states, staying in 61 RV parks and campgrounds. We also visited 12 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and eight U.S. National Parks.

If you’d like to have a virtual tour of our home-on-wheels for 16 months, there’s much more on this page.

*Below*, you’ll find all the blog posts from our RV journey. As of October 2025, we still have some catching up to do, so check back often.

About our Home-on-Wheels

We bought our Class C motorhome in February 2024 in Oregon, quickly outfitted it for the journey and began heading south on March 4th. 16 months in, we couldn’t be happier with our purchase.

The RV is a 2010 Winnebago Chalet 24VR on a Ford Econoline E450 Super Duty chassis powered by a 6.8L Triton V10. It’s equipped with [almost] everything we need to comfortably explore North America with two young kids.

We’d never owned an RV before this (or even spent the night in one with the kids) before we set out on this journey. There’s been a bit of a learning curve, but we believe the best way to master something new is do what you can to learn and prepare ahead of time, commit to the long haul (come what may), and most importantly—get started.

Just a few months in, we were surprised how much we’d learned in a short time and how easy it was to adapt to living with a five- and eight-year-old in a 160-square-foot living space.

Of course, it hasn’t always been easy—and we’ve certainly had our share of challenges along the way—but that’s what makes it an adventure. We wouldn’t have tackled this if we thought it would a cake walk.

RV Equipment

I could spend an entire post (or more) on this subject. But for here, I’ll keep it brief. Feel free to skip down to all our posts and trip reports as well.

Here’s a quick rundown of the onboard equipment we travel with to keep our family of four and home-on-wheels humming while RVing Mexico. There’s a boatload, er, RV-load, of other stuff, but I doubt anyone really cares about our sewage hose and flapper stoppers.
