Heading to the beach

This will be our first time in a beach setting, boon-docking with sand. Any ideas on what to look out for?

Watch for broken glass and metal buried in the sand. Sand fleas are a problem in some locales. But you're going to have SO much fun! Jealous.

Be very conservative with the fresh water. Anytime someone showers, you are using fresh water, and filling up the grey water tanks, not to mention running the battery powered water pump. Usually those camper batteries only will last 1 to 2 days, max. Bring extra water in large jugs, you'll probably need it. If you have a generator and can run it there, even better. (AC)!!!! Randy

Thanks for the ideas. I was wondering about salt air on the trailer?
