To those who have no idea what the "washes" at Glamis are: No, you don't camp in the washes. Rather, the washes are kinda like "entrances" to large flat camping areas. Flash floods aren't applicable. Second, while driving a class A in "sand" is never recommended, thousands of people camp in the "washes" with every type of rig imaginable just fine every year; the "washes" area is not all sand. A few get stuck; most do not. The ones that do are typically not real aware of how to drive on anything other than pavement or are complete idiots. They are, however, valuable for entertainment purposes!
For the OP; I wouldn't air down, but I would walk your route (or unload your RZR and scout your camp site) first. Most of the areas are fairly hard packed; watch for and use areas that have well worn paths. Then, once off the main road along the tracks keep moving steadily without hard turns or hard braking. Keep up your momentum, don't try to get close to the dunes, and you should be fine.
