We are into our fourth year of beach camping and we love it. We go to Island Beach in NJ, Assateague in MD, Freeman Park at Carolina Beach and my New Fav, Cape Lookout National Park. The more remote the better. Our truck and camper are holding up well as we carefully wash, clean and wax after each trip. I recommend a rear deck on the back of your camper. We put a 35 gallon water tank on our roof rack for beach trips so we can take outside showers to conserve gray water tank space. I would choose a camper with the most gray and black water capacity as possible. My wife and I can generally stay on the beach for 5-6 days. It is the holding tanks that limit our stay. We love the beach. Xtreme Campers tricked out our Lance 992 for the beach and I would highly recommend them.
