Boondocking in Port Aransas, Texas (RV Life)

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- And you thought you needed to be a millionaire to live on the beach!
We already purchased our annual beach pass for $12 when we visited Port A in March 2022, so this time around in December, camping on the beach was free!
Port Aransas is the coolest little beach town you’ve probably never heard of, located on the Gulf of Mexico, neighboring Mustang Island, and only 30 minutes from Corpus Christi.
Boondocking on the beach is a whirlwind! How will our solar panels/lithium batteries perform? Will we run out of fresh water? What is there to do in this small Texas coastal town?
We appreciate you for tuning in! ♥️ We love this crazy #rvlife and we love taking you along on this journey with us 🛻🚐

You will need a generator once in a while no matter your set-up.
Good video.
Good luck and be very careful in Mexico.
We’re about to boondock in Mexico for a month with just solar so we’ll see how it goes! ☀️
I Love Port Aransas! My favorite camping beach!
Great job, guys!
Thank you! We appreciate you 👍🏼
Sweet! glad you got the opportunity
So glad to see you guys. Today was not a particularly good day but once I saw you uploaded a new video, I had to watch and forget about my troubles. Lol. Thanks as always.
Aw Warren that’s so kind of you! Wishing you a happy Friday!
Great informative video. I’ll be there for the first time in a day. Can’t wait.
How about a cook book? Or at least recipes please...keep on camping!!!
Y’all are so fun…love your setup…happy trails!
You are living the dream there!!
WELCOME to my State of Texas!!
LOVEEEEEEE your channel. New subscriber.....and so happy I found you 2 nuts. Hope to see you on the road !!!(one I get on it)......😉
You should invest in a mini turbine .. have one I built a mount for on the tongue of trailer with quick connects for electrical and mounting .. always have full batteries especially on that beach lol
We love Port A. Hope you enjoyed the next beach stay.
That’s great to hear! We most definitely did, thank you 😊
In this video are you using the wet 100 AH battery with 1 battery I saw your install solar video so if you are doing all that on one battery that’s impressive 😎
How many betterys do you have at the time of this video? Love the video

how did you stay five days with a three day limit?
I was wondering the same thing.
Tilting your solar panels to the south will give you about 25% more watts from your panels
WE DID PORT A THIS PAST WINTER. THE WEATHER WAS UNKIND. THE WIND WAS SO HORRIBLE IT DROWNED OUT THE NOISE FROM OUR GENERATOR. WE PACKED IT UP AFTER ONE NITE AND WENT TO BOLIVAR PENINSULA AND VISITED GALVESTON.
We’re heading to PA in a couple of months. Loved your view - can you please share the mile marker you were at? Thanks and safe travels!!
maybe best for you will be a hybrid invertor
So cool, working still traveling, it's the best isn't it. Do you like the solar system, can it keep the fridge running at least and where did you install it. Thank you. Happy camping.!
you need more solar. I have 1600watts and 900ah of lifepo4 batteries and I could use at least 2400watts of solar and maybe another 300ah. Of battery. Slowly build your system mine has been a 2 year project. But almost complet have fun.
You also need bigger, solar controllers I get down 50 to 60% every night and at 100% by 230 in afternoon I’m currently in Arizona days are very short and I still get back to 100. What amp is your solar controller? I have the capability of doing 80 Amps plus with my generator I can also charged at 100 Amps so actuality I have the capability of charging at 180 amps
Mike and the maths 🤣
Then there’s me… brain cannot compute 🤯🤣
Not quite free. $12 parking permit and a 3 day limit within a 3 week period. Great video cant wait to see more.
I put the beach pass info in the video description 😎 thanks for watching Eric!
If there for 3 days then just move on down to N Padre and stay extra days.
How are you liking the Ram what engine and hows it doing pull you 5th wheel
The beach camping algorithm brought me to your channel a couple of days ago. Mean time I watched a few more of your videos. Anyway, I was just wondering how you guys got around the 3 night rule at Port Aransas??
Please tell me where you found the collapsible table...I've googled and haven't found it yet...please share...thanks much
So we go to the beach pretty often and we hate TMobile.
What rv park did you fo dor the water?
Hi guys! We are lifetime Port A visitors being from the San Antonio area. We are new to RV life so we just found your channel and think y’all are great!! I did a ton of cosmetic upgrades to our travel trailer and really want to replace the dumb factory shades. I LOVE your shades!!! Can you send me the link where you ordered them?
Love that! We’ll definitely be lifetime Port A visitors as well 🤗 our blinds actually came with our RV and we love them! They’re called Roman style shades. I’m sure you can find some similar ones online!
I'd be scared to death to pull out on the beach, would be afraid of getting stuck.
I wonder if there’s swinging ll charger.. since it’s so windy
Don't you have a generator to top off your batteries.
We do not. Haven’t needed it yet.
Awesome test run of the solar/inverter/Li batteries. Impressive!
Did you ever go outside?
Do you flip the breaker for the on board battery charger to off?
Is the lithium battery capable of running your A/C??
It could be if we wired it that way. But it probably wouldn’t last very long. We don’t have them wired to run the A/C because our solar/battery setup isn’t large enough
How did y’all work? Wifi or hotspot? And how reliable was it?
What campground were you able to fill up at? and do they charge or just let anyone use the water?
What length is your 5th wheel?
32 feet.
Yay you guys are going to mexico. I have one suggestion maybe you should get a dog?
Can’t wait to RV to Mexico! And we’d love a doggy, but haven’t been in a place long enough to look for one, hopefully soon!
