Not many 992's out there. I'm sure I have seen your rig several times.

Well, it's winter again and time to think about beach camping. We have a Lance 992, easily over 4,000, probably more like 4500 loaded with water, me and Shard and Emma the dog, groceries, beer, gas, 2 batteries, 2 propanes, genset, A/c, firewood, beer, well you get the idea. We had it on the 2500HD last summer and did the beach at Sandy Neck with Toyo stock size A/T's. We found that 30 rear 22 front was just the right amount of "sag" to the sidewalls.
I thought for sure we would get stuck, that camper is a LOAD, but we drove right out first try and it became a non issue after that, even in the deep soft stuff pulling out of the ruts. The people that run the place are pretty militant about psi, supposedly will fine you if you are above 18, but when I got the rears anywhere near 22 they were just about on the rims.
A note about deflators, We have trailheads but never stick them on and go, for the 5 minutes it takes to watch them work and take them off before we roll, we would rather wait and be sure. A friend of ours drove his 4wd Winnie out with the deflators left on and woke up the next morning on a deserted beach with 4 flats.
I was going to leave a picture with the old truck but it's a little too complicated for me to bother. Maybe when we get the new dually out there, before and after.
