Pleasure to meet this group! I spent many hours on this forum before buying, so thanks to all of you who really helped me determine what I wanted!

I picked the RV up on a Thursday morning, drove it 100 miles home, loaded the waiting gear and trailer with three motorcycles, and left for a four day weekend. Thanks to this and other forums, I was prepared for "New RV Issues". The trip was a success, my girlfriend LOVES the RV.

I'm an engineer, so solving problems and making clever upgrades for smoother trips are my primary reasons for joining the forum. I have certainly benefited from the posts here already, so I plan to share me knowledge once I have some!

Here is my first tip to share: Bolivar Peninsula allows overnight beach parking with the purchase of an annual parking permit for $10! Plan to check the tides for your intended beach days both a few days before and the day of your beach stay, to ensure that the spot you pick will still be beach when you wake up

Congrats from up the road a piece. My mom and stepdad lived on Bolivar Penn for many years. Mom passed away a few years back, and stepdad just moved to Dallas with his son. We camped there a couple of times, but not on the beach. What a great place though. Welcome aboard.

Welcome from a fellow Houstonian! Our first trip was a little further up the coast - Sea Rim State Park which is about 6 or 8 miles west of Sabine Pass on the coast. Really an isolated spot so it was very quiet - at least in the middle of the week when we were there. We didn't stay right on the beach, but it was only a short walk to get there. I too am an engineer and have already started doing a couple of modifications (at least planning them out in my mind).
Have fun with your RV and welcome to the club!
