I am spending some time on the gulf in Texas. I am planning to utilize the State and national parks to camp on the beach.The salt water and corrosion bothers me a bit :h. How often should I be washing or rinsing the vehicles :@
You could very well be camping in what is known as a
hyper saline area. There are only about five in the world and those that think they know salt water have no idea of the damage that this stuff can do in a very short time to the unprepared.
I would rinse my rig and car down right after each morning's dew. If you're driving on the beach then rinse off the underside as soon as you get back. Some that went out onto the beach out of Port Aransas had slide issues after only one week of sitting. Others will have brake issues. The longer you stay out there, the worst things get if you're not vigilant.
This is one of those times when it's key to ask the locals for their advice.
