That's funny ! And I needed to laugh.
We went to Pismo once, with out previous RV - 36' gasser pulling a 20' trailer loaded with 4 quads, dirt bikes and tools.

It was a piece of cake ! More common sense that anything.
When the weekend arrived, I noticed (at low tide) many more RVs and toy haulers arriving and parking next to me, 2 deep closer to the water. They all hopped on their toys and went riding and hours later they had seawater in their trailers and RVs - not a good thing. I would have warned them, but I was out riding when they arrived......
Big picture - ask questions, ask locals, and if you have to pay an extra $15 do it !!
PS - the new rig is much heavier and I will never do it again. Any spot that is missing paint will have rust on in in 24 hours !!
