Me, my girlfriend, and a group of friends will be heading down Friday afternoon. Ill be pulling my travel trailer behind my F-250 4x4 diesel. I have never pulled a camping trailer "only a alum boat" over the sand. What are some tips to making it down the beach? Should I deflate the trailer tires as well?
My Buddy will be bringing his 35-37' motor home as well. Can a motor home make it down the beach? Cant wait for the action!!

p.s. should I bring my superjet? I don't have a wet suit or footholds and never ridden in the ocean.
air down everything if you plan on driving on soft/dry sand. the beach has damp sand that gets packed SUPER hard so you can drive on the hardpack no problem. a really high tide can bring problems though (6'+ ). i take my rv every weekend to pismo and i get stuck EVERY time. never fails. i got a system to where i can get out easily but it takes a tow from the tacoma regardless. so bring a tow strap! i have plywood boards (2x6')that i can use to drive on the sand if i need to. its a pita to do but just in case. fyi theres a professional tow out there and his MINIMUM tow costs 150$!! bring shovels!
youll also want to bring plywood to block the wind. the onshore winds can move crazy amounts of sand. park parallel and block the entire side so no wind/sand can go underneath. ive seen vehicles dug into holes after a really windy day.
yes you should bring your ski, youll be cold but youll survive. you dont NEED footholds or nothing. i learned to stab with no straps or footholds. prepare to get slammed. bilge pump, tow loop, hood straps, limiting rope are what you SHOULD have when riding in the ocean.
