Jumbo The 4x4 Sprinter Van heads off road to Cape Arnhem NT. Quite a difficult trip but worth it.
Jumbo performed very well on this trip .To be able to guide such large vehicle through such a tight track ,soft beaches and muddy tracks was surprising. It sure provides a luxury camping experience and enables us to reach some amazing destinations.

Our first long trip was on rough dirt roads to see how it performed. The results, a big yes from us however we have since changed the front and rear shock absorbers for Koni brand and are still searching for the dust leaks. We covered about 2,500 kl of dirt in total and are satisfied the Sprinter did a good job.

After visiting Brother Bill in Broome, an interesting way home seemed to be the shortest route. We drove south to Sandfire roadhouse near 80 mile beach and turn left onto Kidson track and headed east to Alice Springs . From there we headed east again on the Madigan line to Birdsville. An epic trip, 4 days to Alice and another 6 to Birdsville.

This is pure gold!
Hi, I love your videos of your adventures. So good to see. That Merc is amazing I’m very impressed where you have been able to take it. How many spare tyres do you have & what tyres are you running? Also does the Merc have a lift kit or is that the standard height of the 4x4 model? Thanks
Hi guys, i have a 2023 LWB AWD sprinter and would love to get a diff lock but cant find anywhere that can supply and fit. Any ideas? As i note you guys have one.
No a hot watch❤ required for this adventure
4x4 and it beeps all the time? doesn't that drive you nuts
Awesome!! Did you do 19 psi all the way around or just the fronts?!
Great stuff. Love seeing the sprinter beeing used as they should be.
Awesome 👌
Can you tell me where you got the front recovery points from? Cheers.
Fuel in Denmark? That's a long way!
In a canoe or kayak these curvy rivers take a lot of time. Seen spots where taking the canoe out and walking it for a while could save miles. Then you start understanding why rivers are turned into canals, locks and dams installed. Economy wins. But that meandering is beautiful.
You just solved the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster
those rear shocks are not doing their job.
I saw one in Yeppoon today that’s why I’m watching now , Thursdays lotto $150 million I’ll buy one lol
hi great vid are there any special maps best to use cheers lee
Hi . Hema have a usefully map of the Murray River and we joined the Murray River boaters association. There are guide books but we are away travelling so may lead you astray with a guess. Cheers
Hi . What a great trip you did. Have watched UA-cam video 20 plus times . Just wanted to know where u left your car and trailer when u were away.
Hi . We left the car and trailer Island reach caravan park in Mildura and rented a car at Murray Bridge to retrieve it. Cheers Don
@@NuMoonvl4936 thanks Don. Will check it out. Happy travels to u and your wife. Thanks
Great trip to watch and thanks for sharing your journey with us. Whereabouts did you get your book ( about the Murray river ) from? Was that book very helpful / informative? I’m thinking about doing a trip along the Murray.
We found the books on line also joined the Murray River boaters association. Cheers Don
Great trip. If i ever get back to the River. Ill be using a boat like yours. Cheers.
Hi - great video on how the 4x4 handles the beach. We are looking to buy one and went for a test drive today. The noise coming from the electric sliding door was significant. We are unsure if that is because it is a display model and people have been using it incorrectly. Have you had any issues with the electric sliding door? regards
test
Hi, great video showing how the 4x4 handles on the beach. We are looking at purchasing one and just took one for a test drive today. The noise from electric sliding door was significant. We are not sure if that a one of because it is a display model and many people using the door incorrectly. Have you had any issues with the electric door? regards
Hello, we are from Germany. On the other side of the earth…😅. I habe discovered the great Videos of you und Jumbo. We will soon also drive the sprinter 4x4 in 7 Meter in length and 4.1 tons. I am interessed in the Rhino Wheels with the tires. In how many inches do you drive them? 16“, 17“ or 18“? With wich size of the tire have travelling with Jumbo. BR from Europe, Steve.👍
Hi guys, I enjoyed your video, what is the draft of your boat? did you run into any depth issues?
Hi draft is about 750mm with outboard down. 300mm up. We had a good depth sounder and had no problems. We needed a good sounder to find a clear bottom to drop anchor.
Thanks for your quick reply. I'm planning a trip this year and have a draft of about 450mm. You've given me a bit more confidence in making it! I will invest in a good sounder. Any other advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated. @@NuMoonvl4936
What is the round black device on your roof? Do you rear dif lock or central lock ?
you guys did an amazing job.thanks for uploading and sharing
Looked like a fantastic trip don't you fish
Finally a real test! Thanks guys.
i own the same Jayco all terrain for 2 years but never tried 4WD driving . Great video telling me what the van can do. Thumb up !
Beach looks like any other beach lol
Hi, I was just watching your latest video, fantastic! We have a similar Sprinter and looking for a Jerry Can and Max Track holder, we noted yours, did you buy it, or was made to your spec. If it was bought, can you please let me know where I can get one. Enjoy you videos, keep them coming.
Hi Thanks for watching. 12 to 14 litres per 100. We have larger tyres 265.75.16. Last of v6. We were told the new train turbo are a bit better on fuel.
Is that the latest twin turbo model? We are thinking of upgrading from our RM19.1. Whats it like for fuel economy on the highway? Cheers
Hi sorry for the slow reply. It is the v6 model. Fuel is in 13s . I think the new ones are better
The Drone at 18:45 is magical. Thanks for sharing!
Good vid, we are also in the line to get one, looking at the new Kimberley too (bit expensive though)
Thanks for sharing! Keen to fit recovery points and maybe a winch to my Van. Any intel on who made yours?
Did very same thing in 1984 and still looks the same. Later on I made a house boat an went all up and down that river. Hope u have a great time.
Great Video, thanks very much for sharing!! Do you still have the Farr Binks 30 ?
no sold to a bloke in SA
@@NuMoonvl4936 Thanks for your reply. Looks like a great version of the Binks 30. Have a great day :)
Really enjoyed the vlog. Great to see Jumbo on the beach and what it can do. Looking forward to taking ours out Jayco AT out this week down the coast in NSW.
😁❤Mersedes!👌
Congratulations on your very nice new van. Can you please tell me what size is your tyres?
Hi not sure if I replied earlier . They are 265x70x16in. Seems to work well without upsetting the gear ratio too much.
Sorry for the delay in replying. We have been away. Tyres are 265x75x16. Rhino rims from Bob Jane. Both around $350 ea. Give or take a bit. They have good flotation in sand.
Great video and thanks for sharing, we will be getting our AWD Mercedes-Benz . Jayco MS22 late this year , would love to know more about your winch setup
Hi . Happy to help with info when the van arrives
Hi. Sorry for the long delay. We have been away. The winch cradle was purchased from Adventure fitouts. They were good to deal with and the bar was not tooo bad to fit. Good luck. Don
Looked to handle the sand really well. Top job👍🏼
Well done. We also have a Sprinter 4x4 so good to see what it can do. You nailed the trick to sand driving - low tyre pressures!
Great video. Thanks for sharing! Shows what the mighty MS22-2 can do
This was very cool thanks for sharing
Loved watching your video. Please next time can you tell us what the places are as we see them.
That is a really beautiful boat.. awesome trip too.
Have you still got the noosa 7 m??
Yes. It is a keeper.
Thank you and safe sailing
