Not sure how dense or soft the sand is there. Some drive-on beaches around here are packed, dampish sand but you will still run across soft spots occasionally. The sugar soft sands will cause a problem. I have a similar size coach and have years of experience driving on beaches along the east coast and I wouldn't even consider taking mine on the sands of a beach. Once the rear tires slip just a little...down they will go. Another concern is the weight on the front axle causing those tires to just bulldoze right into the sand. It would be an expensive tow. Not to mention the salt exposure to the under carriage. There are some guys out west that have the 4X4 Super C's for the dunes. Not sure how that works out. Bottom line...nothing that heavy with that narrow of a tire with only rear wheel drive on the beach.
