Correct tire size for driving truck camper on the beach

Skipbee, your humor is not lost on me. I've found that people who poo-poo sand driving have never tried it but are somehow an expert. People who have found the 'edge' in the sand know everything they need to know; and find the edge over and over. Around 1976 we drove 125 miles at the surf line in Baja in a Toyota FJ-55 Land Cruiser between San Felipe and Puertocitos. What a ride! We had to steer around the inlets and outlets. The sand changed texture and consistency many times on that trip requiring lower and lower pressure down to 10 pounds and actually raising it on the sharp rocks. Here Dick is lowering the pressure as we try to race the incoming tide: You can see how the rig 'crabbed' along at too high a tire pressure trying to crest the high tide line. We had (5), five gallon jeep cans ( two on the tailgate) and a 53 gallon gas tank, plus 3 spare tires on wheels.
