- This week we wanted to share some of our knowledge of towing on beaches around Australia.
Now I know everyone's tow vehicle and trailer will be different and have different power to weight ratios, and some set-ups simply shouldn't be on the beach, but for those with camper trailers and hybrids it's easier than it looks

appreciate these videos!
Yet more great advice. Thanks mate. 😊
Thanks Paul, good to hear we are sharing good advice, last thing I would want is get people stuck while towing. Thanks mate 👍
Hey happy family,great info Adam never a truer word spoken.Thanks for another top ep😎.
Thanks Doug, it's one of those reasons why Australia is such a amazing place to travel, being able to drive on a beach and camp. It's so good 😀
Thanks guys gr8 vid, years since I have done beach drive, you have reminded me how much fun it can be! but mainly common sense.
So true, it's great fun. Nothing hard, I did have to laugh watching The Explore Life's video of straddie and how many times they got bogged for the cameras, and we were there at the exact same time 😆
Good stuff guys and some wise advice. In my younger days i was a sand miner working the beaches and rivers around Mackay with tippers and front end loaders etc. Your tips were spot on Adam.
Thanks Wayne for the support 👍 happy for the feedback too, great to hear I'm giving good advice 😀, last thing I want to do is get someone caught out on a beach. What a job that would have been! I'm imaging the views from the drivers seat now 😍
great vid guys. Good knowledge to share with others.
Thanks Moz for the support and positive feedback 😀
Nice vid everyone, great tips to
Thanks Craig 👍
Thank you for the helpful content.
Thank you for watching and the support 👍
Thanks,all very helpful information 👍
Thanks mate for the support 👍
Awesome tips guys
Thanks mate, but if you have a v8 diesel, do you even need to drop your tyres 🤣
Adam you have the right idea get the boss to drive and then you have someone to blame for getting bogged.
😆 she's never been bogged before, she should be doing these videos 🤷♂️
Great info there Larissa & Adam. If you dud not want to get bogged you can bet it would happen. I love my auto on the beach. I have a scan gauge that shows me all temps including the auto. As you know the difference between 22psi and 15psi is massive. Safe travels guys.
Thanks Kevin, that's definitely one thing that people should have, being able to see the trans temps when towing on the beach is spot on. 👌
As allways mate great info and well presented. I gotta good yarn for the around campfire on my getting bogged very first time on the beach...... lol cheers from two West Aussies in Saudi.
😆 can't wait to hear it, i remember we my brother unlocked one of my hubs and I couldn't work out why I kept getting stuck and he was fine 🤣
good video ! very knowledgeable🤙😎🛻🌅
Thanks Brent, it's funny seeing the explore life on straddie at the exact time we were there and how many times they got bogged for the cameras 😆
Thanks for sharing. I have a reasonable amount of experience on sand but will soon be taking a trailer. I'm with you on almost everything except I'm a bit undecided on one thing. I can't see the point in lower tyre pressures on the trailer. It does not need traction to transfer force to move the mass forward through the sand. The best thing for the trailer is have the least amount of resistance holding the tow vehicle back. Low pressure on the trailer would tend to grab into the sand creating resistance. A normal pressure should (I think) roll over the sand with less resistance. It would also help with the trailer swaying around.
What do you reckon? Experiment? Good excuse for a trip?
No definitely lower the trailer pressures, especially if it's soft. It's for floatation and stops the tyres digging into the sand creating more resistance.
Eg on our solo Simpson desert trip with trailer we had the trailer on 12psi for most of it, was loosing a little bit of air from beads every now and again so pumped them up to 16 psi. Then got stuck on 6 sand dunes that day! Dropped back to 12psi and we were fine.
But if it's hard sand start around 20psi depending on your trailer and ifs there is no risk of getting stuck with the tides, try at road pressures first and then stop and drop to 20, you'll feel the difference
Hi Adam and crew, some great info for us beach novices. Do you do any special vehicle prep prior to beach work? eg rust proofing ?
Cheers
Yes, I did a video a long time ago on that, but we have a electrical rust preventer, spray oil everywhere and when we get home, wash everything really good, dry and re-oil.

Great video. We're looking at buying a second hand Jimni to tow a 500kg jetski across a small strip of beach near our place in Fingal Bay NSW. I only want something small to leave in the garage. What do you think?
I've never owned or driven a jimni so can't really say. But they are a true 4wd with low range, so the concept sounds good, just do a little research with any common problems the jimni might have

Thanks Mark 👍
