What a great trip, very jealous. I have been to the darling junction at Wentworth many times, it never ceases to amaze me. Lucky people to see so much of our magnificent river

Top show 👏

Nice, interested to know what mods you did to the van. Lift, suspension, skid plates, locker, etc. hopefully wife and I are 3 yrs from similar adventures here in us.

What would you say is a good average in kms per day to enjoy yourself but still cover the lot?

I'm embarking on a trip next week in an early 70s cruise craft. I have 5 weeks, would love to have a chat re fuel stops ect. I'll be unassisted. Not much information available which makes it all the more fun

i remember number 8 lock went through it about 1973,4 area in a house boat, they best holiday ever, would love to do something like that

Thanks for sharing your trip. Traveling along the Murray is one of my Bucket list trips. Its now jumped higher on the list after watching your video.

Not sure that you read comments this long after thr event. Just interested in obtaining a copy of the charts and information book you were using. Enjoyed the video. On my bucket list, leaving from Walker Flats. Cheers Rodger.

very nice 🧔‍♀

Hi, I saw you dropped the tire pressure quite a lot in those sand dunes. Would be interesting to know for our Sprinter how low you drop the pressure; about 1.5 bar?

MPV Mitsubishi Delica d5 ,L400,L300 also very good for off-road much cheaper price medium size and heavy duty

Thanks for sharing , enjoy watching folk out and about living the dream . Very capable Van on beach.safe traveling ❤️

Turned a nice van houso's 🤦.. Congratulations...

Hello, great video and informative. I'm in the process to convert my 2023 AWD sprinter into camper, my question to you is in regard the Wheels & Tyres. I visited a tyre shop and there was resistance to fit a 17" Wheel and Tyre to suit, If I may ask what did you do for your setup? Fitted at a Tyre shop or got them delivered and fitted for self? I was told the van could be not complainant? I'm just catching on your KZbin videos as well I'm following you guy's journey. Cheers B, Brisbane bayside.

awesome van, my dream van one day lol

Hello, love your videos, can you tell me who is the female singer at 6.39 min , cheers

I was hooked, and watched to the end. There are two rites of passage for newcomers: your first lock, and crossing Lake Alexandrina. This boat had a magic crossing. I did too, but was in a fleet leaving Wellington in darkness to enter the lake on first light, and be across before wind came (typically midday).

I've done from the top of Lake Hume to the mouth in my 9 m four-berth shallow-draft cruiser. I've also done the lonely Wentworth - Renmark section in two preserved paddlesteamers. Your video brings back fond memories, and showcases our Australian river and sun for a world audience. I've been putting up my photos to my flickr site, as a thankyou to the many people who have placed their videos on youtube: kayakers, tinnies, cruisers, paddleboats. People inspired to follow in your wake can do most of it in hired boats, and Goolwa - Renmark commercially. My favourite is preserved PS Marion, based at Mannum and operated by volunteers. Every 2 years it voyages to Berri for survey slipping.

Love what you have done and spending time with you guys. I am fitting out a new Sprinter AWD mid wheel base. I can see I have a long way to go. Your comments have been helpful. Nice to know what is important and not just extras that are seldom required.

Thank you. Really helpful

Who installed your ARB Diff Lock?

Very informative, thanks for sharing

Awesome Vid Don👍

have you guys got a walk around video on the sprinter.. I would live to get your input about the living side of things, water, shower, toilet, bed etc etc... how much have you spent, what you put on it regarding winch, suspension etc etc... would be a awesome video to put together if you havnt already.. im considering this vehicle for my wife and i.. would love your input so far, the pros and the cons.. cheers.... good luck to you both..

Hi could you please give information on your winch mounting cheer

Well done guys, looks like you's had a blast :)

Goodonya fellas. More off-road than any of the tricked up rangers and hiluxs will ever see. Cheers

Hi just asking did you hit many stumps with the out board leg

Hi, great video. Have you got any diff lockers?

Very nice and impressive. Which engine is it? And is it the original low range from Mercedes or did you change it? The lockers aren‘t standard or are they?

Well done team Jumbo awesome adventures 🤙😜

Impressive as usual. Well done!

Curious to know what tyre pressures you are running? (front and rear). Impressive sand driving! Well done.

You are very kind to share your experiences and to respond to long questions like the one above. You really deserve much more views because you are the most informative MB Sprinter channel when it comes to practical upgrades for difficult sand / desert and beach driving. Thank you for sharing your adventures and information ❤

Hi Have a look on our channel NuMoonvl4936. I made a video on exactly that problem. I first had a leaf added but it did not really work. The new Spring pack from Gympie spring works made such a difference . I have fitted Koni adjustable shocks and coil overs in the front. If you would like to chat my number is 0422600109. Cheers Don

Thanks for sharing. Please help to clarify the following: Most sprinters bounce like yo-yos in deep soft sand then get stuck especially on inclines. This is mainly due to soft springs in the back and loss of traction. Your Jumbo does not. Did you overcome this with suspension upgrades? And with a rear locker? I would like to ask you opinion on the Agile Offroad Suspension upgrade (you can google Sprinter 2500 4×4 RIP Kit) and their ARB locker for the Sprinter ? do you think they will solve the problem? Of course tires and tire pressure is going to be taken care off also.

Do you think the Agile off-road RIP suspension kit upgrade will have the same effect to overcome the yo-yo of the sprinter in sand?

Great video, we have a sprinter V6 4x4 LWB, but have not been able to but it to serious use yet. We intend to go to WA next year. What modification would you recommend, we intend to do some beach driving, Gib River Road, nothing to serious. How do you find the ground clearance and does diff lock much difference?

We are very happy with them . They are Alloy so not rocksliders but there are a lot of skid marks on ours so they have kept the van off immovable objects. Made in the Gold Coast Jim Hunt 0404516763

Hi, wondering Is this the standard Jayco sprinter all terrain AWD with a diff locker added? Or a full Mercedes sprinter 4x4, was that an option when you bought from Jayco?

I notice you have put sidesteps on, what do u think of them and which brand are they as they seemed tucked up nice and close to the body? Im thinking of puting some on my lwb sprinter

Loving your videos! Thanks for sharing! Quick question, who installed the locker on your van? And is it an AWD? Picked up a 2024 AWD 3 weeks ago. Stock as a rock currently, but can’t wait to start kitting it out.

what tyres do you use?

laughed at the writing on windscreen, gears indicator. I know the feeling I have sprinter to,RWD LWB bloody things are to smart for their own good. hey im thinking of upgrading to a AWD LWB. do you rate yours?

Loved watching this, Agnes. Thanks for sharing. Looks like the sprinter is capable of taking you where you want to go. Cheers, Tonia.

Don't you just love the sounds of the branches passing by! Keep pushing that Sprinter. Good trip guys.

Hey bud great vid, can I ask you is it lifted and did you have singles on bum.cheers guys

Excelent loved it please do more

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
