I figure they have grocery stores in CA. Eat it before the border or cut it up and freeze it, cook it or toss it. There are pests that can do a lot of damage to crops if allowed to spread freely. Crop destroying pests ultimately drive up grocery prices.

Baja is beautiful and the roads are good. There are some really nice gated RV parks on the ocean about half way between Rosarito and Ensenada about 40 miles South of the border. Border entry is San Yasidro, just S. of San Diego. Stay all the way to the right as you enter, (follow the buses). The car lanes are too narrow, so take all the time you need to get over all the way to the right. Where it says "items to declare" in front of the buildings is where you want to cross. Mexican insurance is a must, get it before you cross, avail online. Also check with your US insurance company to see what they cover for additional peace of mind. Friday afternoon is heavy traffic going in so best to avoid it. Once through the border stay right and enter the freeway (toll road). Bring pesos for tolls. You will need 30 dollars or so (charged by the axle) to get South Dollars or Pesos. We stay at Clam Beach RV park or Baja Seasons on the Pacific Ocean. Beautiful spot, amazing people, great food and incredible sunsets. Tips: No Firearms or ammunition or pot, medicinal or otherwise. Get pesos at you local US bank before you cross the border. Pay with pesos it will save you money on the exchange rate. We don't drive at night in Mexico for the same reason we don't drive after dark in the states. Happy travels. *Fantasy Rv tours does caravans for RVs into Mexico. I have Not done one with them, but have talked to people who have gone with them and had a good experience. Too pricey for my budget, but a good way to take that first trip down South...

On my '97 Monaco Windsor it is in the bay that the propane is stored in. First bay passenger side.

Our '97 Monaco Windsor has a bar on the left that the door hinges on. It sits tight against the wall on the left. Most hinged doors get wider when opened so had to replace with the same unit. Had a heck of a time getting the old one out. Removed the bottom plate to reveal two hidden very long 14" plus screws that went up into the wall plate at an angle. wife is happy now, wish I had known about the bottom screws in advance.
