I'm sorry you had that experience with the inconsiderate person with the generator. Not all of us who need a generator are that way. I camp on Port Bolivar 3-4 times a year with a tiny camper. I have a heart condition which I take medication for and cannot take the heat, therefore, I need an air conditioner. I love camping and refuse to stop. I went from a tent to a small camper with an ac. Thank goodness there is an option to use a generator. I have a single battery that barely powers the refrigerator all night. I never set up near other campers or near houses. I always find an area empty of other campers. However, my generator is out in plain sight and if anyone parks near me after I am set up, it's on them. I have never had a problem with disturbing anyone and I feel others with generators should be just as considerate. Please, don't judge all generator users. Some of us need them for AC. There is a lot of hate for generator users in some of these comments and on other channels.There simply is not enough room on my tiny camper for enough solar for an AC. I love your videos and am subscribing. Happy travels.

[@tdadventures]

We are so sorry to hear about your heart condition. Sending lots of caring and healing vibes. I (Thavone) have suffered from a heart condition due to chronic Lyme disease for over 30 years. We are trying to get as much traveling in while we can. We agree, there are lots of considerate generator users, us included! We too look to be far away from others if/when we need to run our generator. We only wish the neighbor had done the same, and not set up so close to us, on a beach that is miles long.

[@treenajamiethegsd924]

I agree I am currently in Central Texas and experiencing 110 degree days for the first time... and I have some health issues and a dog ...so if my batteries are low you better believe I'm going to use my generator to power my air conditioner. Our health and safety takes priority.

[@tdadventures]

@@treenajamiethegsd924 110!! oh wow !! Generator is definitely needed. Stay safe. Our situation was in the Winter time New year's eve on a cooler night.

[@marthaholcomb8148]

I love sweet people! When on the beach, please respect others, only run your generator before 10pm. ❤❤❤ I'm afraid thats part of camping. People seem to have lost all manners. I'm from Texas and we are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. I don't care what you do or where you camp, you will always find rude people. Nice to have found you I will subscribe! ❤❤❤

[@tdadventures]

Thank you so much for subscribing to our channel. We totally agree with you that wherever we may be, most people are good and only a few may can ruin it for everybody. We love Texas hospitality. As you can see in the two incidents where kind souls just show up to help us.

[@akear100]

I live near Bolivar and you are correct about water coming up onto the roadway during storms. It has been a never ending issue for those that live on the peninsula. Since Hurricane Ike, there is no to little beach at the curve. I hope you enjoyed your stay!

[@tdadventures]

How nice that you live near Bolivar. We really loved visiting Bolivar area. We hope to stop there again on our next trip out West.

[@MerrilyVan]

Loved the video. I hope the rude neighbor sees himself and changes his ways. I’m glad the good and considerate people outnumber him

[@tdadventures]

Yes, it is. Most people are good, only the few bad ones that can ruin it for everybody.

[@jacquelineMeyers-is1zz]

Best beach camping video I have seen yet. You made it so clear, took so much uncertainty and fear away, believe Icould do it now, instead of sitting here dying in front of the TV. Blessings

[@tdadventures]

Wow !! thank you so much for such an awesome feedback, much appreciated Jacqueline. You can do it !! We always remember this line in the Shawshank Redemption movie. We either "get busy living or get busy dying". Have you seen this video where you can camp in the desert for free? kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ3Nl3qufKp0ftE

[@stoneyvanwie6042]

The vehicle being towed are heading to Mexico. They buy older cars from owners and take them to Mexico for parts and used cars.

[@tdadventures]

Wow !! good to know. Thank you for explaining that to us.

[@joycem2795]

Thanks for the video. I’ve always wanted to go to Padre Island and nice to know you can camp on the beach.

[@tdadventures]

Ho Joyce. Now you know where you can camp. The how we do dishes in the RV is on our list of videos to put together. Hang tight !!

[@NWJay]

Thanks for sharing your adventures. It's good to see there are still good people on the roads of life ❤. Safe travels.

[@tdadventures]

Hi Jeff. Hi Karen. It restores and warm our hearts whenever we run into kind and wonderful people.

Enjoy your channel and viewing your journeys! I hope to follow some of your winter route next year. Best wishes and safe travels.

[@bSidesTheRoadTaken]

Thank you for another great video and tips on Texas beach camping!

[@tdadventures]

You're welcome Kayla. Now you know where you can camp on the beach in Texas.

[@jamesh1641]

My son and I camp and have asked the same question of people running generators all night - WHAT are you powering all night? Stay home if you need all that service in a rough area.

[@lindarobb3868]

Probably air conditioner

[@LifetimeMomentsVideo]

I grew up near Magnolia and Indianola Beach. Did a lot of fishing and swimming there. Indianola was the largest port in Texas until two hurricanes wiped it out in the 1800s. Ruins are still there to this day.

[@tdadventures]

You are so lucky to grow up in such a beautiful area. Bummer that Indianola beach was ruined by the hurricanes.

[@Panotaker]

You need to camp at North Padre, near the fishing pier that they are rebuilding. The waves are loud and will drown out a generator. I camp there all the time with my RV in the summer, and run my generator all night long to run my AC. In the summer, the beach is packed from the locals, but at night, there is nobody there. I usually have the place to myself, plus the waves are so loud, you can’t hear my Honda Generator. Once you get 30 feet away, you can’t hear it. Plus there is nobody there anyways. In the winter, you probably have more people camping because those are probably snow birds that come to Texas in the winter. To keep from getting stuck, I carry a 5 gallon bucket. As soon as I park, I go get some salt water from the beach, and start pouring the water on my tire tracks. That will turn the soft sand hard, and you will be able to drive off in the morning without getting stuck. Just go get some water every few hours, and keep the sand hard. I also put a big square pan full of water in front of the camper door to rinse off my feet, so I don’t get the camper full of sand.

[@tdadventures]

Thank you so much for all the tips, much appreciated !! We will check out the pier that they are rebuilding at North Padre island.

[@debbie8465]

👋 hi 👋... great video as always. Would you please do a cooking in the van video.

[@tdadventures]

Hi Debbie. We added the cooking video in our RV on the list of videos we will put together for you. Joyce also wanted us to do a video of how we do the dishes with limited water. Hang tight ok.

[@glindacochran3081]

Now this is what I call a real KZbin video about camping traveling truthness sincere crying all the above this video was really awesome I am glad I'm subscribed and that gold car that you saw in Houston Texas with those Spike rims are called Carriage Wheels other words in the slang language known as swangers they are pretty popular in that area amongst some car clubs

[@tdadventures]

Mike, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a great comment. Your feedback meant so much to us. Thank you for subscribing to our channel and welcome !! Thank you also for explaining the car with the Spike rims to us. We learned something new today from you.

[@proflprasad9094]

Magnolia Beach is my fav. Has the best restrooms and showers for a free camping spot.

[@tdadventures]

We still can't get over the fact that the area provides free camping and bathrooms at the same time.

[@Sovann-Chronicles]

Always amazing video with such a beautiful scenic and great advice. Great job as always Thavon & David! Good Job and keep up the good work! 'Preciate Y'all and God Bless!

[@tdadventures]

Hi Sovann. When your dream of getting an RV comes true, you now know where you camp on the beach in Texas for free or for $10 or $12 per year.

[@Sovann-Chronicles]

I will look through your channel of all the places to visit for sure.😉

[@shelley131]

Enjoyed your video very much. You were smart in not trying to get yourself unstuck by spinning your tires and digging yourself deeper. We own a Coachmen Beyond and carry traction boards recovery ropes and shackles, and also tire inflators. If you let the air out of the tires you won't get stuck as much.

[@tdadventures]

Such a fun way to camp. Did you have to wash van afterwards to get salt off van? Such a bummer you didn’t get your money back from car wash. I loved your movie night and Christmas party. You guys are so special 💝and loving.

[@tdadventures]

Hi Sadie. We were able to give our van a good wash at a very nice car wash near Elephant Butte State Park, New Mexico. We never heard back from the car wash that did not work. We had to call our credit card company to dispute the charge. We love including people we meet on our videos because it is a reminder that most people are good.

[@garychristison763]

The nation didn't hear much about Hurricane Ike because September 2008 was a pre-election month and the media didn't think it was worth giving much coverage. Enjoying watching your Texas Coast video. I'm where you were a couple of years ago and need to take the plunge and try beach boodocking.

[@tdadventures]

We are so sorry to hear that Hurricane Ike did not get the attention it deserved. What devastation !! Definitely give camping on the beach a try at all the locations we mentioned.

[@walterfuller5324]

Thank you for visiting our Texas beaches. And thankyou for your video.... enjoyed it. I hope the bad experiences do not deter you from visiting with us in Texas again, You are braver than me, after many years of driving in Houston I do everything to skip that misery. BTW the guy with the weird tires, yeah that is legal. Not practical but legal. I hope you come back and visit Galveston Island. Next time you might start your beach Journey at Sea Rime state Park where there is free and pad camping. A bit out of the way but worth the trip to sabine Pass. Travel west to High Island, across bolivar,,,, take the Ferry, visit Galveston Island continue west on Seawall BlVd to San Luis Pass. There is plenty of Beach camping opportunities from hear. You can follow this path and visit old old places you have been and new places to see. Maybe my wife and meet you along the way. Feel free to reach out to me if you do return. THANK AGAIN

[@tdadventures]

Hi Walter. Thank you so much for all the wonderful suggestions. We would love to check out all the places you mentioned. We visited Galveston two years ago but have not had the chance to put a video together. We would love to meet up with and so some of the exploring together. Please email us at [e-mail] your contact info so we can reach out to you when we are in the area hopefully by early 2025.

@@chipsrafferty8362 You are not bothering. We are happy to answer your questions. Yes, we have enough or plenty of electrical power on our 2024 model because of the bigger batteries. The 2023 model does not have the bigger batteries. It will be ok but you will have to run the generator more often or plug into shore power. You can’t run the AC on the batteries either. On 2024 model, you can run the AC off the batteries.

[@Lt184]

I’m not saying it’s the polite thing to do nor am I trying to justify them running that generator 24 seven but being a trailer it is possible they don’t have the batteries and they were running the generator 24 seven to run their AC

[@tdadventures]

We were at the beach December 30th and 31st. It was in the 50's during the day, cooler at night. Not really air conditioner weather. Our issue is not with their needing to run a generator but with how close they set up to us and other rigs. There are miles of open beach to camp on at Port Aransas. It's not nice to show up late at night and run a loud generator near others. With consideration they could drive down the beach a ways, set up far from everyone else, and run the generator to their hearts content!

[@Lt184]

@@tdadventures yeah I saw time frame but some folks are a touch different try to be polite/ devil’s advocate. But other than that then maybe an electric heater??? And setting up close to someone when there’s plenty of space is a rather odd thing as well. Over all guess chuck it up to the 10% rule. 🤷🏼‍♂️
