- We bring our RV's to dry camp on Crystal Beach,TX for Thanksgiving! Taking the ferry over from Galveston, TX after leaving Jamaica Beach RV Park, we show you how much fun it is to boondock on the beach. Living off of our fresh tanks, batteries and generators, we were successfully able to create a memorable Thanksgiving feast for our family and friends.
Special thanks to Renzo for drone footage.

Earned yourself a subscriber, love a creator who isnt afraid of giving grace to god
I appreciate that! I feel I need to keep it real. If I’m not afraid to put my craziness out there, I shouldn’t be afraid to put my faith out there either. After all, it is my channel. 😂 Thanks for being part of our community!
Family, Friends, Food and Fellowship. What could be better?
Your statement says it all! You can’t ask for more than that. Thanks for sharing with us Scott.
Yeah I'd say your all youtube experts...setting up yout rigs, preparing a Thanksgiving feast, fishing, beer runs, bon fires, and fish frys......you guys ROCK!!!
Thr memories you men and women create for your little ones is a lasting bond and wonderful to see.
Thank you so much! We agree. While we love making videos, it is the amazing memories and new friendships that we make that are the true motivations. Thanks for sharing with us!
Amazing! Making memories with family and friends. It was great to see you're not afraid to show your faith and who to thank for all the blessings! Thank you, Dan
Thanks Dan! So happy you enjoyed the video. It was truly an amazing trip. One of our favorites by far. I really try to keep our videos real. Not scripted, no acting. I think those who follow our channel do so because they like our personalities, who we are, and our faith is a part of who we are. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your comments with us. It really helps inspire and motivate us to keep making content.

Oh cool! I didn't know you could take an RV on a ferry. Rum Chatta...good stuff! Are you full-time? Can't beat that view on the beach! We are so going to have to check that place out! Nice video 😊😎
Thank you! We really love it. Have been to that beach twice now with an RV. Some ferries will not allow an RV. We always try to call ahead. The Ferry in Galveston is pretty big. We were on one in Vermont and it was super tight. I’m talking inches on either side of the camper. 😅 Thanks for watching and sharing with us!
Thanks for a great video and for sharing your faith. This group is always fun to watch.
So glad you enjoyed it! We try to keep it real. Whether it’s our antics or a more serious note, we want to stay true to who we are in real life. No actors here. 😂 Thanks for sharing with us!
the wife would love that spot! great video Matt.
Thanks Ross! It was so much fun. Will definitely be doing it again!
We have plans to spend some time on Crystal Beach in the future. How cool to get a preview of it from our GA friends.
Thank you friends! It was an awesome experience. We were definitely not disappointed.
Absolutely loved this, you guys had a blessed time!
Thank you so much! It was truly amazing. On top of the amazing adventure it’s also great enjoying it with amazing people. Thanks for watching and sharing with us!
Great video !!!!! We rent a couple of times /year and back our Turbo Rzr up to the shore and the best part is placing my lawn chair in 3 inches of surf with my Wife, popping a top and watching the ships go by and the sun set ..... just so peaceful !!!!!! Praise G#d !!!!
Thank you! There really is no feeling like it. My hope is that this inspires others to try it. Our first time we were nervous but now, after several trips, we absolutely love it. Thanks for sharing with us!
Camping in our exact spot. Yours takes up a lot more space and looks so cool and fun as a group! Great videography.
I knew we couldn’t be the only ones! 😂 You know how awesome it is. We have done it solo before but it is definitely more fun in a group. Thanks for sharing with us!
I commend the public prayer! Awesome time with family! Awesome trailer! Love the diy outdoor kitchen! You gained another sub.
Thank you. We figured that we have guts enough to show our crazy antics, laughs and drinks... we should have guts enough to also show our faith. We really try to keep it real. Happy to have you part of our community! Thanks for your support!
Inspiring! We are RV newbies. We live in TX. This is definitely on my bucket list. I really appreciate how family oriented you are and I really like how you shared your faith.
Thank you so much! We’re happy you enjoyed the episode. It really was an awesome trip and definitely something worth trying some time. If you follow our channel you’ll see we’re not shy to put our crazy antics in front of everyone so we felt we shouldn’t be shy to put our faith out there either. Welcome to the RV life! It’s a lot of fun. If we can help you in any way feel free to reach out to us. Thanks so much for watching and sharing with us!
Good quality family time 😊
God and family the secret for happiness
Absolutely! And it doesn’t cost a thing! Thanks for watching!
I will have to check out Crystal Beach some time. I have never heard of it.
Hi friends! Yes, it is an awesome experience. Texas is great to let you enjoy a beach to the fullest that way. Thanks for watching and sharing with us.
We just got to Jamaica Beach and are close to where you were. Love Jamaica Beach. Now we’ve gotta try Crystal Beach. What a great Thanksgiving!
That’s so cool! It is really a neat place and we can’t believe what a value it is for all the amenities you get. Enjoy your stay. Thanks for sharing with us!
What an awesome time in Galveston. I hope your family enjoyed every moment of Thanksgiving. Can't wait for the next video. Mac & Logan
It was truly an amazing experience. It also adds to the magic when you can share it with amazing people. Be well friend. Sounds like things are still hectic in Peru. Hope it’s not making you too crazy. 🤣
As a RVer and a yearly CB visitor, that looks like a great time
Yea!! It was honestly one of the best RV trips we’ve taken. We’re thinking about planning a small meet up back there with any of our viewers that would like to try it us!
I love camping at the beach in summer time my friends and I go every two weeks.
That's awesome to live close enough to do that! It really is one of the most exciting things you can do!
Beautiful may God bless you and your family 👪 ❤
Thank you so much. ❤️ We do feel truly blessed. Thanks for sharing with us!
Ok like um wow!!! Beach camping looks ahhhhmaaazing and we need to put this on our bucket list!!! Man y’all throw it down!!!! Ok we need to camp together asap 🤣 oh and the rumchata tip!!! Thank you lol!!! Your group is awesome! The bloopers were everything!!!! Best video eva!!!!!! 🙌
Thank you friends! For sure next time you’re coming with us! We are really looking forward to linking up. May have to use some selective editing when we do because I feel there will be a lot of... shenanigans. 🤣
@@RCRVadventures this is very true 🤣
Great family time! It's wonderful.
Great time with great people in a great location. You really can’t ask for more! Hope we showed it well and inspired others to try it. Thanks for watching!
Awesome vlog
I already hit the red button
Stay connected 🎵🎶🎁🔔🌲👍
Thank you so much! We’re happy you enjoy it. Thanks for being part of our community. We’ll be back with more adventures after the new year. ❤️
I loved this type of life
The more we go on adventures like this, the more we fall in love with the life too! Thanks for watching and sharing with us!
@@RCRVadventures 🙏🏻❤
What a blessing this video was. Thank you 🙏
What a kind thing to say. Thank you so much. We are thrilled you like it! Thanks for sharing with us!
What an amazing Thanksgiving! Thats a lot of firewood lol. What an amazing view to wake up to!
Holy cow that was a big fish!
It was truly an amazing experience. Yeah, we may have gone overboard with the firewood. 🤣 But camping like that it’s better to have too much than not enough. Lol. Now I need to try and catch a bigger fish than my son or I’ll never hear the end of it. 😂 Thanks for watching.
RV professionals for sure man! Amazing job!!!
Take a trip to Port Aransas, TX for camping on the beach for Sandfest April 14th - 16th! You'll love it!
Thanks man! Appreciate it and thanks for the advice! Never heard of Sandfest. Will definitely look into that!
What an awesome video, loved it all. Well done👍
Thank you so much! We’re so happy you enjoyed it. The trip was absolutely awesome and we tried our best to capture that in a video. Thanks for watching!
Looks like you guys had a great time. Bless you
Thank you so much! It was definitely one of the best trips we’ve taken so far.
What a great Thanksgiving. A beautiful location. !
It was epic. One of my favorite travel adventures so far. It’s always nice to share an adventure like this with family and friends. Thanks for watching and sharing with us!
Man you guys got it going on, looked like a lot of food and good times, stay safe.
Hello friend! Yes, we had an amazing time. I love adventure trips like this one and it’s always fun to travel with friends. Thanks for watching!
Hey saw you guys on chuck & Sherris channel. Thought I’d check out your channel. I’m so jealous, I dream of camping on the beach. I don’t think there’s anywhere around where is live you can do that and with other rv’ers. Nice
Hi there! Thanks for checking us out. This has to be one of our favorite RV adventures so far. It was so much fun. You’re right though. There’s not a lot of places that allow you to take your RV on the beach like Texas. That probably makes the experience even more special. Thanks for sharing and saying hi!
Great video!! Really enjoyed it!! Pretty beach….. Did the tide come up much??
Thank you so much! This was our 2nd time camping at that beach and the tide has only come to about the halfway point. Still have about 50 feet of dry sand in front of the RV. If you drive further east on the beach, however, the beach does narrow considerably and may be a little sketchy during high tide.
Very beautiful and wonderful my dear friend
Thank you so much. It was truly a memorable experience. Thanks for sharing with us.
great video and GOOD TIMES!!
Thank you! It was definitely one of the most fun things we’ve done with the RV! Hope to inspire others to try it.
I loved how you thanked God for all His blessings! Why did you go in November? Was 95 gallons enough? Our family goes to the local lake with 4 RV’s. We may have to try Crystal Beach! Thanks for an awesome video!
Thank you so much! We wanted to keep it real and show the emotion of the dinner. We went in November mostly because the kids were out of school then so we could plan a longer trip. We lasted 4 days on 95 gallons with a family of 4. Left the beach with 1/3 of a tank and we were not skimping on using the water. Figure we could make it a week if we practices good water management. Would like to test that! Thanks for sharing with us!
Looks like a great family outing. Really nice video. Very inspiring Thank you for sharing parts of your life with of us
We’re so happy you found it inspiring! It was such an amazing trip. Thanks for following alone with us and being part of our community!
I wanna be part of your family, the praying part was the deal breaker for me .
You can roll with us anytime! In our group there are many different spiritual beliefs, including atheists. Everyone is mature enough to have love and respect for each other no matter their beliefs. If you truly love people, you can’t love them in slices.
Hermoso!!!!! Me encantó el lugar, La Paz, la playa, los juegos. Y Sabrinita aprendiendo a manejar!
Gracias Doña Luz! We had so much fun!
You guys rock!
Thanks so much Jeff! We had a blast and just hope we can inspire others to get out there and experience it too!
Thanks for sharing
We’re glad you enjoyed it. It was truly one of our favorite destinations yet.
Loved watching your adventure! What a great idea, Thanksgiving on the beach. Thanks for sharing.
So happy you enjoyed it! It was truly an amazing experience. Our hope is that maybe we could inspire others to go out and try it and experience it for themselves! Thanks so much for sharing with us!
Looks fun.
It was probably one of the most memorable trips we’ve taken with the RV. Definitely a bucket list thing to do!
Thank you for sharing ❤😊
Happy you enjoyed the video! It’s really an awesome experience. We may even plan to do a meet up at the beach to share that experience with our viewers. One of our favorite adventures yet!
Great video. We need to run into guys out on the road. I’ll buy the beer you do the cooking lol
Absolutely! I’ll take that deal! 🤘🏽😂 I know we’re still a small channel but we have a great community! We may try to do a meet up sooner than later. 🥃🙌🤣
@@RCRVadventures sounds like a plan
Heck yeah! Thanks for the support!
Looks awesome, I would like to do it as well
It’s honestly one of the most memorable trips we’ve ever taken. I’ll let you know first, before anyone. 🤫 We’re planning on going back this New Year’s Eve and inviting any of our followers to join us! We’ll be doing a livestream to announce it soon!
Lindo video Mateo, Te felicito!!!
Gracias Don Renzo! Era un viaje espectacular!
I was on the Galveston ferry in our RV today, just about the same time you were posting this
How funny is that! What are the odds? 🤣 The ferry in Galveston is surprisingly not hard to navigate with an RV. We took the RV on a ferry in Vermont and it was ridiculously tight.😂 Where are you headed?
@@RCRVadventures This was just a long weekend trip for us, we live about 175 miles from Galveston in western Louisiana
Very cool. I love the long weekend trip adventures. I think some people would be surprised how much you can see in a long weekend. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing 🤩
Thank you Mario! So glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and sharing with us!
Have you put this setup on a Cat scale? I’d be curious how heavy your rig. It’s an awesome looking setup you have.
Hi there! I have scaled it. If it’s helpful you can DM me on our facebook page and I can send you a screenshot of the scale ticket. I asked a few others for their scale tickets before purchasing this rig just to get a better idea of what the numbers would be. I don’t mind helping others in the community. 👍🏽
We went t to this beach last summer we r going this summer
That’s awesome! It is so amazing to wake up right on the beach isn’t it!
Yall must have been all the way down by mexican beach, crystall beach gets good at barrel 68 and up
We were on the west end of the Bolivar peninsula. Is there a nicer section to go see? We were told the further east you go the beach narrows and there are houses close by but I can’t say for sure because we didn’t go up that far to go see for ourselves.
@@RCRVadventures there's many spots DownEast where it sets back far from the water barrel 68 known as the washout is a pretty nice area
Sweet. Thanks for the tip! Will have to check it out next time.
thinking of boondocking out on crystal beach.. can you give me some more info on barrel 68.. i think i found the washout on google but not sure which side of the washout barrel 68 is on..
I know this is a year ago but we are now camping on Bolivar peninsula at palapa beach RV resort and we just really love the area where exactly did you camp on the beach?
Hi Holly. No worries. Thanks for reaching out. If you click on this video and expand the description, we’ve included both the gps coordinates and a Google maps link to the exact entrance of the beach we used. From our experience it’s the best part of the beach to camp on. If you have any problems getting the link, message us on our Facebook page and I can send it to you directly. Thanks for watching!
We would love this! #johnnybucksslots
It’s one our favorite trips so far! Thanks for watching!
Is there a lot of ppl around Thanksgiving camping on the beach? We are thinkn about taken a trip down that way about that time.
Oh you will enjoy it so much. Still one of our all time favorite trips! No, the beach is not crowded at all. It’s actually a great time to go. Short sleeves during the day and a little chilly at night so you can open you windows and not have to run the AC. We could see an RV on either side of us but they were about 100 yards away in either direction. I believe in the description of the video I left the gps coordinates to the beach entrance we used if that helps you. Let us know if you decide to go and what your experience was!
How did your powerhorse generator do?
It performed great! So impressed with it. We not only we’re running our camper with it but we also plugged in an extension cord to another camper to keep their converter running to charge their batteries. Very happy with it!
I would like to know where you camp on Crystal Beach. We are at Jamaica Beach RV Resort now. We drove up to look at Crystal Beach to look and scope it out for another trip. It is a long beach and there are a number of spots that look promising. Any help would be much appropriated.
Happy to help. If you click on the description part of the video I added a google map link to the exact beach entrance we used. To my understanding this is one of the widest parts of the beach and it’s away from the the private houses. Hope this helps.
I click on the crystal beach link at the bottom of the description and it just takes me to other TH-cam pages about crystal beach
Oh wow! Thanks for letting me know. Give me a few minutes. Let me see if I can go in and correct it.
Ok, my mistake. I had added it to the old beach video but not this new one. I’ve added it now. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. If you have any trouble with the link please let me know.

This is probably a dumb question. Do y’all live in your RV all year long? I ask because my wife and I are contemplating in selling our home and doing the RV life
Hi Armando! We do not live in our RV’s. We all have houses. We would like to live full time in the RV some time in the future but right now it’s not an option. However, one of the reasons we started our channel is to help show that you can still go out and have adventures in your RV even if you’re part time.
What does RCRV mean? Is this an open group tp join or are y'all all from the same state?
RCRV stands for Road-tripping Convoy RV. We started our channel to show how much fun you can have part time RVing specifically in a group. We are a group of family and friends who go on adventures together. We sometimes have new friends join us on a road trip who want to experience one of our adventures but we are not a “company” that books trips. We’re just some crazy Latinos who started a TH-cam channel to show our love for travel and adventure. Thanks for watching!
@@RCRVadventures this group sounds like a lot of fun… I too am latino, on your next trip down to the Texas coast my wife and would like to join y’all there if that would be fine…we live I. Central Texas near Austin.
That would be cool! We love meeting new people and making new friends! Be sure to follow our Facebook page. We communicate a little more there.
@@RCRVadventures I will
