The fruit is a mamey. You can blend it with banana, papaya, and a little bit of milk to make a licuado (similar to a smoothie). I'm from Mexico and my mom used to drink it a lot when she was pregnant with me :)
I took some inspiration from you guys and turned my Subaru station wagon into a camper for a three week road trip around New Zealand and now I’m hooked! I found that the hardest part of car camping is not having any head room except for in the drivers seat so relaxing was a bit hard but I just booked an occasional night in an air bnb and the trade off of being in a car that was literally a dime a dozen in most areas I was visiting is that I was able to stealth camp in towns and main streets which would be impossible in a van or RV due to freedom camping being illegal in NZ.
@@HolaBrazil It’s not banned but rather your vehicle has to have a specific registration to say it meets the standards for freedom camping. And then you have to camp in designated areas. If you camp outside of the zones or your vehicle doesn’t have a self contained registration you could be fined

That's a "MAMEY", it's a kind of "zapote", there are other similar fruits such as "zapote blanco", "zapote negro" and "zapote niño" (which inside colour is like baby's poo). It's one of my favourite fruits and I haven't seen it anywhere else. In Veracruz, where I'm from, is very common and we make it into "nieve" which is like a kind of sorbet. I recommend that you try it as a smoothie, you're gonna love it with coconut milk or even with water. Keep enjoying Mexico!
Totally agree ,i am in Mexico right now too in my 2008 Honda fit .I have a roof box,old style cooler that i dont really need .Remove 2 seats made a « bed » and totally happy with that .From Quebec and near Sayulita today 😊
We just love your set up , your free spirits and all your videos. We did the Cabot Trail in a home made Ford Escape setup. Had a wonderful trip. Now We have à Roadloft kit in à Grand Caravan..We are 75 and 78 yrs old. Did the Îles de Madeleines Last summer, absolutly à MUST. Happy safe trails to you and looking forward to your next video.
I originally started dipping my toes in the water that is travelling about a year back with a Dodge Grand Caravan. There were some hurdles, but it was manageable. I decided that there wasn't enough room, so I sold it and bought a Ford E-350 shuttle bus instead, and boy was that the wrong move. I had a lot of cool ideas for it, and I worked on it for a couple of months, but the simplicity of ease of use of the van was far superior. I could not agree with you guys after having watched this video. I am actually now looking into getting a Prius to travel in! Isn't life funny that way! 🙃
So stoked for you guys that Leah is feeling a little better and that you had a good time in Fl! I'm from Fl and moved to rural Idaho 2 years ago and all the places and things you've done, in Fl, I grew up doing, and it gave me the most loving nostalgic vibes. ❤ Looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey and sending you guys all the good energy!!!
I pick up my 2017 Prius V next week. First trip planned, straight South from Seattle to Oaxaca (or wherever). And maybe beyond. The V is a bit bigger than the rest. Rear window is more vertical. I'll sleep in it. Get that tent for the back. Get a cargo box---something cool. Tinted windows. Zip on down the road. I think about ferrying from Panama to Colombia. Maybe.
I just binge watched your Prius adventure (from start to this video) and i am in love with both of you 💕, your journey💖 and your message💌. Keep them videos coming🌅. Love from India🇮🇳🥰🫂
You guys are super inspiring in your energy and in your enthusiasm toward making this round the turtle island trip happen! I am excited for your adventures and I am rooting for you from Waterloo Canada! I hope I can do something like this one day.
Love you guys as a couple! Love your authentic approach and just your energy with your viewers and with eachother . We live in a tiny house on wheels and love the lifestyle. I hosted a yoga retreat in Mexico in September 2022 and my husband and I extended our time in Mexico and loved it! Bacalaar was our favorite ❤
Thank you so much!! Bacalar is definitely one of our favourite spots on this trip. Just had a great balance of things you want and need on a trip like this. 🥰
We got a lot of snow this past week up in Canada so at the start of this I was like Wow I'm jealous of your weather down there...little did I know you both would run into struggles of your own there! Glad to see the damage wasn't too bad though, that rain looked brutal! Loved the highlights on car camping but also appreciate the honesty and you showing us the downsides of going this route as well. As always stay safe the both of you and thanks for sharing you're journey with us all, always gives me something to look forward to on my Saturdays!
We are getting rid of our trailer because we are tired of towing and always carefully watching where you are going and all the other trailer stuff .you need to check. We now use our minivan with a tent that attaches. We sleep in the van and the dogs in the tent. Soooooo much easier
Another possible reason why your Prius battery dies...I think you turn on the Prius to roll down windows but don't turn the Prius to Run mode. Run mode engages the engine to turn on which charges the battery while on. If you turn off the car electric fans and electronics in run mode. The Prius last longer without the engine kicking over to charge the hybrid battery. To engage Run mode you have to press the brake when starting the car. Otherwise if you press start without the brake the car is only engaged with the 12volt and not the hybrid system on. This will prevent the battery from dying.
Hi 👋 in our country we call that fruit Mamey. We make tropical fruit salad. Papaya, Mamey, Mango and pineapple. Or we blend it with milk of your choice, ice, sugar or agave. Bon apetito
Yall are a beautiful couple and your relationship gives me hope that I can love(and be loved) again one day. Maybe one day I'll find my Leah or at this point my Levi...Im keeping my options open
I love your videos, and you are 100% right on every points. I live part time in a minivan. Just one mistake in your title; your hashtagVanlife. Vanlife are not what those RVs are doing. Minivans are, and every converted vehicule under 20 feet (I think). Most of them have all the advantages of your Prius, plus a little bit more comfort. In my Dodge Grand Caravan I have the luxury of a portable flush toilet. But I am still just a "car" while I travel and doing #Vanlife !
That is a mamey. You can make a great juice and smoothie with that fruit. I remember having wonderful mamey drinks in Miami, Fl. where I grew up. Cubans love mamey and yes it can be compared to a papaya.
Plywood isn’t meant to be use in places where there is a lot of water unless you use marine grade finishes. You should have used solid wood (and marine grade finish) or heavy sheet metal (painted) or angle iron welded together with a heavy gauge mesh/grate for the flat surface so it drains water. Painted, of course.
Love you guys been a subscriber from the beginning as I have a Prius and luve in Arizona. Looking forward to weekend camping trips out of it. Great content! Will always follow along 🙂. Have fun and safe travels!
in my country we call those fruits chico. it's i n t he sapodilla family of fruits. our varieties are more grainy and not my thing. they were never my thing anyway.
First off you both are brave and adventurous. My kids loved the road trips we used to go on but I worked at a hotel so we got to stay at any that we were affiliated with. The car rides were our favorite part though.
Fair play, I live in my Honda crv, travelling around Europe, the passenger seats go straight down into a single bed 👌bonus, good luck on your journey, I will follow with interest 👍
Just found your channel -- I recently bought a Kia SUV with exactly the same rationale (re upfront costs of buying and building out a van, as well as the costs of operating). Easy enough to sleep inside the Sorento, especially for 1 person and if I wanted a roof-tent for nicer weather could be added at the expense of the stealth factor. I'm kind of torn, however, as I'm sure you know, a car cannot serve as a "suite" for those more isolated or colder windy conditions. Of course the $$$ saved could pay for many a hotel or AirBnb. Sub'ed and I'll be watching your channel while I try to decide if a small van with a pop-top or a truck with a wedge topper might serve me better. I'm thinking Pan-American Hwy to Ushaia, but want to spend lots of time all along the way, getting to know places where I could see living out my retired days... I'll take any advice under consideration -- a bit nervous about travel within Mexico, Cheers!....from North Vancouver
Thanks for the comment! It's a big adventure you're on! Don't be worried about mexico, we've felt very safe the whole time honestly. (plus it's like half the price of camping in CAD and USA
i dont remember if you guys got moon shades yet. but get them! i do it on my prius and its so nice to cover up both sides of the car and no rain issues and you have living space outside even in bad weather. i have three honestly and and go out the rear and both sides
Have a good trip guys if you get to read this I was the young man who served you last night in the Italian restaurant, a pleasure to serve you and meet you
I have had the old time VW camper vans, they can kind of cost a lot of time and expense to maintain. I now have a Prius V and I'm setting it up for camping, it is my project, it is my hobby, I am a bit elderly, 70, so let's see if I have to get this blessed vehicle on the road, since it is a Prius V, I have no idea what kind of back tent to purchase. Do you have any ideas. I am so devoted to watcning your videos, I actually wait for your Satuday episode.....you both so loved from a distance
Great comparisons between car camping and driving larger vehicules :). I wish I knew the name of the fruit that had a baby with a sweet potato and a papaya :)
Love you videos, has inspired me to do the same in Australia. Can you get a discount code for the eco flow battery would love one but they aren’t cheap
Thank you! Sadly they're not offering us the option for a discount code but they almost always have a discount code you can use! Check out other review channels and you should be able to see something there!
My daughter has special needs and is in a pediatric wheelchair for traveling. Sometimes Uber WAV will send over a Sprinter van. Yes it’s expensive, but it’s TALL inside. Her school uses Ford Transit vans, cheaper, but I’m 5’8-5’9 and my head bumps against the roof standing in the middle, that might drive Levi nuts since I think he’s over 6 feet?
How have you fared with your ICECO fridge? I used mine on a road trip this summer with sort of mixed results. It was a hot summer so I feel like the fridge had to work extra hard.
Mamey!!! They are awful (i say, mi family Loves them) usually eaten fresh, can be blended in a milkshake or made into icecream… thanks for this videos, i’m finding great tips for my upcoming prius-c camper experience
Hmmm , as someone from Vancouver island I’ve seen rain like that . Also it may be safer to just pull over and wait out the storm for a bit until it lets up ! Has Levi never experienced rain? That’s not a lot of pooling honestly . 😂
These two are from Vancouver Island! Tropical storms can really bucket it down though. (Source: I’m also from Vancouver Island and have travelled through Mexico).
Levi: "So hopefully this has convinced you to take whatever is in your driveway and turn it into a car-camper and drive allover the country." Me: Looks at her Fiat Panda 👀
I’d rather pay a little more for comfort, you can’t put a price on comfort. I get where you are coming from though. I’d have to have a canopy that fits over the vehicle. Would be great for keeping the vehicle cool and a canopy can be reasonably priced.
I just asked this on your Short 😅, but I was wondering since you're crushing the van lifing with a Prius, are you guys ever gonna have plans to do a full van / SUV conversion? and your tour around NAm, will that just be a tour or are you both fully gonna go #vanlife?
The fruit is a mamey. You can blend it with banana, papaya, and a little bit of milk to make a licuado (similar to a smoothie). I'm from Mexico and my mom used to drink it a lot when she was pregnant with me :)
Thank you. I was so curious
Thank you! We don’t have a blender haha but if we get a chance to try a smoothie we’ll do it!
You can just eat it with a spoon it is delicious, but is better as a smoothie
👀 me going to the comments to see what that fruit was…
@@LeahandLevi or try ice cream!

Yeah that’s why good weather and a hammock is such a huge bonus 👍🏼 glad you are making it happen!
Why is sleeping in vans or RV's banned at NZ?

For windshield visibility in rain, use wax / ceramic / rain-x / aquapel.
Highly recommend aquapel for durability and shedding ability.
I loved turning my small SUV into a car camper. You get to do so many things that you just can’t otherwise do in a larger rig.

I love my Mamay. It’s best after you let it get puckery so it’s ripe inside and if it’s refrigerated.
That fruit is called a mamey and it's so good in a milkshake:) or ice cream, so yummy!
The fruit it’s a ChicoZapote in Mexico Chico Zapote and Mamey are different fruits! I prefer Mamey because its sweeter and you can make a milkshake 😊

great content! have you guys watched mav? i love this genre of car-camping/traveling
Mav is the OG truck camper! haha
Oh my god, I love love love Mamey!!!!!
We plan on driving my 2014 Prius into the ground, but y’all are convincing me we should convert it before then!
Ride it to the end! haha they're amazing little cars. 🥰
I've gone on a car camping roadtrip in a Tesla Model 3 before.
Los felicito chicos sus videos son muy bonitos ❤

Check alternator could be.problem....happened to me before
When do you guys think you’ll be returning to the US? I have many US east coast recommendations-including DC in March/April for cherry blossom season!
We’re planning to cross the border into texas in February!
The fruit is a mamey, and you enjoy it just as you did. 😋
My daughter has special needs and is in a pediatric wheelchair for traveling. Sometimes Uber WAV will send over a Sprinter van. Yes it’s expensive, but it’s TALL inside.

Yeah the sprinter vans are craaaaazy expensive. Especially the ones where I can actually stand inside sadly...
Great video. Are you able to use your air conditioner when parked or sleeping ??
Yep! That’s another huge plus for the hybrid 👍🏼

How have you fared with your ICECO fridge? I used mine on a road trip this summer with sort of mixed results. It was a hot summer so I feel like the fridge had to work extra hard.
We have beat the hell out of it and had zero problems except that it does get water pooling inside after a week or so which is a little annoying. 😕

You need to find a solar trickle charger. They tend to be less than $100 USD.
Agreed!

Hahaha ok so maybe not whatever is in your driveway 😂

My family is from Mexico and we call that fruit mamey
It looks like they had cheramoya at that fruit stall. Next time get them, they are wonderful!
good video you cannot take your house with you looks like you are still having fun
I'm curious if you feel these benefits would still hold if you were in an SUV? Or is even an SUV too big in Mexico?
SUV would work too! Might not get the gas mileage benefits but the rest you'd probably be good!
@@LeahandLevi Thank you for the response!! I'm loving your weekly videos! :)
Why would you leave your windows open when it's already rained more than once that day......or at ANY time you leave the 🚙 car.......in MEXICO?

mamey sapote yummmm
WOW 😍
Nunca vi essa fruta!
The fruit is called mamey.
