camping on the beach

For the sake of your equipment you really really do not want to be on a beach. It won't show right away but your stay will haunt your truck & trailer years later. Both are made with & fastened together with materials that do not do well being exposed to salt water or salt air.

Pick a location with mostly offshore breezes.

So are you saying we should not camp at the ocean? Let alone on a beach?
We camp allot at the coast, From one side of trailer the ocean is 100 yards away, from the other side the bay is 250 yards away. And thats on a Jetty.
We have also camped directly on the beach and have had no ill affects as of yet?
I am assuming you are referring to the "Salt air"? I have yet to be swamped by the surf. But, we did leave just in time once during a major wind and rain storm and I am sure we drove thru some "Ocean Slop over" Crazy thing was,, It rained all the way home,,a 125 mile trip,, I did hose my trailer and truck down afterwards, Just in case!

We have also spent a week at a time at Pismo Beach in southern California,, A very beautiful beach that you can drive and camp on!
The entrance and exit can be a challenge,, and yes you might have to drive through salt water.

But I have yet to find any direct damage from camping on the beach other than SAND everywhere throughout the trailer!
I would think that common sense would dictate washing your rig off with fresh water if you drove thru any depth of salt water..
If I could camp every time I go on a beach,, I would be there and would not worry about any ill effects!
