Looking to try RGV next year

RV'ers winter on the Island all of the time. So one persons cold is another persons lovely. You will notice salt damage so be aware.
Can you explain "salt damage" a bit? What exactly is this and how
serious is it. We will only be staying 5 weeks so is it still a risk?
At just 5 weeks, no real worries. On that 5'th week you'll start seeing rust appear on small things like bumper hitches or anything steel that isn't coated with some sort of a protection. Even then it will be slight at only 5 weeks.
Galveston isn't as bad as some places, but a very general rule along the west Gulf coast is you'll get a fog/dew in the mornings that can stick around till about 10am. That fog/dew will have salt in it and will settle on (and into) just about everything.
I know of one gentleman who winters on SPI who needed work on his motorhome dash. When the tech removed it he exclaimed "you know you got rust back here."
