I love Magnolia Beach and have spent a lot of time there. That bay is waste deep for almost a mile out to the shipping channel where it drops 30 straight down with massive undercurrents. The little inlet next to that bridge you guys were walking by, is known to the locals as "The Crabbing Bridge" more crabs are caught in that inlet along that bridge then anywhere else along that beach. There are a million flounders and some secrete spots for giging them. The bay is full of "Gaftop" catfish. Bless you for picking up the loose trash. For the locals that is one of the saddest things about having that beach open like it is. I wish more people would take the time and effort to clean a little and leave the space a little nicer then they found it. The sunrise and sunset on that bay along that beach can be some of the most spectacular sites to see. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see what you guys find over in Port Lavaca. Enjoy!! Stay safe on the road... And as always... Love, Peace and Bacon Grease Y'all!!! Mmmmm, bacon!!! ~Uncle Mongrel

[@LyfUninterrupted]

Hey Uncle Mongrel! Thanks for sharing this info. Exactly the sort of thing we appreciate from our viewers. Stay tuned for more on Port Lavaca!

[@BeckeyBoydGooden]

Glad you’ll enjoyed our little piece of paradise on south Texas. Grew up on magnolia beach. Still live nearby. You’ll caught hard heads. That’s what we call them. Glad you’ll came. Thanks for showing off our little beach!!

[@omega0835]

I camp there often. Love the beach. They do need to update the shower and restroom area. Great clean beach and the Indianola marina isn't bad for a bite or back patio fishing. They doo cook there as well, great food. Glad you guys liked it .

[@artdwalker3881]

My personal two favorite youTube rv couples, that i watch every week Happy and Safe travels,Thank you for all your hard work in filming for us.

[@LyfUninterrupted]

Thank you Art! This means a lot to us!

[@littlerascal6112]

No flipping way... I watch LivinRvision channel also and knew they were in Texas and I thought to myself wouldn’t it be something if you ran into them in this video?... and BAM, THERE THEY ARE. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT. What a small world. Did I hear Michelle say “where’s the pie?”

[@LyfUninterrupted]

LOL! Small world indeed. Brian and Michelle are great and fun to be with. Thanks for tuning in!

[@sandrasdiamondroad3089]

I stayed in Magnolia Beach this past February. I love it met a lot of wonderful people. I did my first van tour of a lady in a small van named Elsa she is wonderful. The red truck with the tent when you pulled in is the lady with the chickens she is awesome as well. I stay in touch with them both and hope to meet up with them this year. Just such a nice place there. I heard the showers were just cold water from a lady that showered. I did not, maybe next time I'm there

[@LyfUninterrupted]

👍 Glad you enjoyed your time there!

Your second catfish was probably a Gaff Topsail or Sail Cat.

[@LyfUninterrupted]

Yep! Weird looking thing. Apparently some people eat them.

[@nathanurick8320]

I’ve been watching full time rv videos for about three years now and about 6 months ago I started unsubscribing to most of them for one reason or another. my two favorite and what I consider most honest down to earth people are you & living R vision. Great idea for a new place to hit up. Enjoy

[@tammyturbide9463]

That cotton candy sky around the 12:30 mark😍. Looks like you had some good ,rainy reading days. Or probably editing days for ya'll😊. Love your content. I was wondering about the covered areas that campers are parked under. Are those rented or owned? Just curious. We've actually been to Corpus Cristi. So it was nice to recognize the area. There is a very excellent Chinese restaurant there! Happy trails and thanks for keeping it real. Hope the steering gets sorted out. Its always disappointing when you pay so much for something and its not done right! Peace to you both!

[@LyfUninterrupted]

Thanks Tammy. The coach is doing better now. Just needed a few tweaks. The cabanas are first come first served.

Hardhead . And most definitely watch out for the dorsal fin.

That was sad you had to go to Corpus Christi to get your tire fixed again. How’s the tire now? I hope it’s doing ok. Nice you ran into Utubers LiivnRvision. Looked like you had fun with them. Brian so glad you caught sone catfish. How many did you say you caught and out back? That was a big catfish. Hope you have fun this week and stay safe and see you next week. This was a great video and I can’t wait until next weeks. Have a great week and see you next week.

Things happen and we just need to go with it. Not fun, but no huge deal in the scheme of things.

[@rvinnes]

Sorry you didn't have many good days at Magnolia Beach the cold fronts just kept rolling in. A couple good fish and a Gafftopsail Catfish (not a bottom feeder), that was the chunky one with longer whiskers. Nice seeing you at the Achafalaya Basin rest area in Louisiana. Hope the shimmy is fixed! Be safe!

[@LyfUninterrupted]

Hi Robert! One has to take the not so good with the great when living this lifestyle, so we just roll with it. The shimmy is a bit better, but not altogether absent. Just above 60mph is when it kicks in, so it seems like a tire or possibly an out of round wheel?? I'll keep working on it👍

[@fatbomb7832]

Seeing those seagulls around Brian reminded me of the time we were in Mississippi to watch our son graduate from Air Force basic training in Biloxi. While walking along the beach, family in tow, I suddenly felt something odd in my hair that certainly wasn't supposed to be there. Instinctively, I reached up toward my head just as my wife began yelling at me to stop. I couldn't hear her clearly over the seagulls overhead cacophony of what I later determined was laughter. Looking at my now wet hand I immediately realized I'd been anointed by a seagull which had squirted what seemed, at the time, a cup's worth of multi-colored gooey mess not only on my head but down the back of my neck and the brand new t-shirt I'd just bought at a gift shop. Since then I always wear a hat, the wider the brim the better, on the beach.

[@LyfUninterrupted]

Oh jeez!

Hi Marty! We agree. Hopefully the weather will be better for us next time.

[@martyh4777]

@@LyfUninterrupted We were at Magnolia Beach in Jan 2020 for approx. a week. While we had 2 days of heavy rain, the couple of foggy mornings and other sunny days made up for the couple days of bad weather. FYI, the outside showers next to the bath house are free of spiders and crabs. At 55 degree in Jan they are refreshing.

Thank you again for sharing your travels. Your posts and others that post will help guide us to nice camping. That is horrible ppl will not walk their lazy bottoms to an empty trash can.

[@the_fry_way]

We were at Magnolia Beach in winter 2019 and the wind blew constantly! Glad to see it's still free. Back then they were considering charging because of "permanent residents".... there's a lot of confusing info out there about the place. Good to see LivinRVision! Awesome! Great video! Thanks! ~Lynette

Hi Lynette! Free places like this will not stay free long if the abuses keep mounting. We certainly do our part to help clean up these free camping areas.

[@heathermiddleton4958]

I’ve seen the sand crabs in the Caribbean. The babies are born on land and then make their way to the open water. I wonder if those guys in the shower made their way to the water source in there instead of making the journey all the way to the shore line.

[@LyfUninterrupted]

Thanks Heather!

[@ddpachall]

That other fish is a sand trout/white trout! Very good to eat! that was a nice size one❤️❤️😍 Taste just like Speckled Trout/Spotted Sea Trout which is my Fav! I have Family all over that area & in Port Lavaca

Honestly, catching any kind of fish is thrilling. Just hate being skunked!

@ 3:07 I would have just parked next to him and started feeding the seagulls too. I then would have told him that while most people find seagulls annoying, I love them. Then I would have hollered for my wife to bring out the fritos and bread. It looks like were gonna have a party.

That was a pretty good sized "Channel Cat" that would have been some really good eating with some corn meal breading fried in peanut oil or just with some butter.

Yes! The corrosion was especially bad when we were on South Padre Island.

[@foryourreview8403]

Sometimes, they need to do a road force balance to eliminate a shimmy

[@LyfUninterrupted]

Hi Randy and Tina! You have a great eye! The sticker on the window were the windshield was manufactured. Thanks for tuning in!

[@edwinsantini1042]

Wondering if the tire shop disconnected or loosened your steering stabilizer to do the alignment(?). Its possible your stabilizer needs to be adjusted/tightened a bit. Thanks for the great vids! God bless!

[@LyfUninterrupted]

Hi Edwin. They did loosen it when doing the alignment. Guess they were not versed in setting one up properly. I finally got it sorted out.

[@jameshambrick7918]

Question? Do you have to worry about the saltwater on the RV? Do you wash it after you leave the beach? Just curious 😀

[@LyfUninterrupted]

Hi James! Yes, the salt air/water really corrodes everything. We've washed/rinsed the RV and Jeep a couple of times since being at the beaches in Texas.

[@larryv4249]

Brian, was the "shimmy" due to the new tires? or another issue?

[@LyfUninterrupted]

Hi Larry. The coach had a very slight vibration prior to changing tires, but is more pronounced since having the new tires installed. The previous owner battled this as well after installing Goodyear G670s. He had the front tires/wheels Road Force Balanced which helped bring everything within an acceptable level for him. Perhaps I’ll need to have that down with the new tires as well. I also installed Centramatic balancers all around which help to further control out of balance situations, but haven’t seemed to help with whatever is going on with the new tires. I’ve read that worn kingpins can create vibrations. Will have to take it back to a truck shop and have those inspected.

[@ritachikita1468]

Do you fish and release or eat your catch?

[@LyfUninterrupted]

It depends. If Brian is in the mood to clean fish he will keep them.

[@lindagolden9892]

In my humble opinion I would’ve moved my rv back further as the possibility of ocean water saturating the beach sand beneath your unit is quite likely. The waters edge might be 10’ away but the tidal highs could come in even further. 🦀 🌊 🏖 Curious as to whether y’all considered running your generator while traveling towards your destination as that could’ve provided some much needed battery charging while in route. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@LyfUninterrupted]

Thanks Linda. We were perfectly safe. As for running the generator while underway...we are not fans of doing that.

I was wondering what type of driving license you need also do you need a CDL-A

[@LyfUninterrupted]

Hi Kyle. Very few states require you to have a CDL to operate a motorhome. CDL's are intended for vehicles with commercial use, so unless you drive a motorhome for a living, you probably don't need a CDL. There are a few exceptions though. For motorhomes over 26,000 lb., Washington, DC, and Hawaii require you to have a CDL. Hope this helps.
