Oceano Dunes camping
Has anyone driven a class A with a toad on to the beach at Oceano Dunes in Pismo Beach area? If yes what were your experiences and do you have any suggestions as to drive on the sand?

Air down if you have a rig with an air compressor to air back up with. Check under the front for a suitable place to hook a strap to get pulled out before you need it. I suggest welding or bolting a tow point to the frame before going.
Disconnect your toad before proceeding down the beach and have someone else drive it for you.
Go in at low tide so the sand is firmer to drive on.
Don't spin your tires. If you feel yourself getting stuck don't keep trying.
Carry some long suitable planks to place under the tires if you need assistance getting unstuck.
Be careful whom you allow to help pull you out if you do get stuck. Not everyone has experience or know-how. You don't want the front body work ripped off.
Think smart and don't panic.
We have gone camping there for many years. We drive jeeps that are hopped up and we spend a good part of our day pulling others out of stuck situations.
