Camping on the beach at Padre Island

Had a couple of friends, who happen to be retired science teachers that volunteered at a wildlife refuge on the coast several years back with their fairly new Bounder during sea turtle hatching season. They were parked on a paved hookup site on the land side of the dunes for two to three months. When they got back home, he ended up replacing around 300 rusted screws with with stainless steel screws, along with some prepping and touch up of rusted steel frame components, in and around the basement compartments. Needless to say, they declined when invited back the next year. He said the off shore winds were terrible for salt spray and they had hosed down their coach every week or so.
