Bogged at inskip point with a caravan

A short video showing us leaving a camp spot that initially caught us by surprise with how hard it was to get into around inskip point.

[@Alank63]

Perhaps a drop in tyre pressure would have helped. From a fellow Y62 caravanner.

[@JH-jo9wt]

What psi would you recommend and do you mean caranan tyres as well? cheers

[@Alank63]

@@JH-jo9wt Hi, three years since my comment lol, but in answer re sand and tyre pressures.....I am from WA and we have a lot of sand here to deal with. My go to pressure to start with is 20psi , any more than that is a waste of time in terms of making a difference. Then 15 psi if needed and down to 10 psi if also required as each increment makes a large difference at lower pressures as you are letting a larger percentage of air out of the tyre vs what remains. At very low pressure keep speed down and dont make sharp turns as it can push sidewalls off rims. re the caravan yes let them down as well as it makes easier rolling over sand. Hope this explains and helps. Pump some air back in when conditions ease.

Good to see your Mrs giving it a go mate. Great stuff.

Well done! Your mrs killed it!

Great team work and trust in each other and your rig. Happy travelling.

[@DamianCandetti]

Thanks 👍

[@obs2746]

This is why I’ve ordered my Y62. A bit more momentum would have helped though.

[@MrCzech78]

I never seen or heard about someone bogged at the right tyre pressure. Personally when I tow heavy objects like this caravan I would have all tyres at 10 psi including the caravan and if the sand Is softer go down as low as 6 or 7 psi

[@DamianCandetti]

I have had 2 tyres come off the bead at 12psi while 4wd once and it made me nervous, now I leave them right up unless I get to a point that I cannot proceed

[@AussieVanAdventures]

That was close! Great vid!

[@daniellurkin]

Yep ...tyre pressure is high.

[@nervotica7991]

Good video for the Missus to study her acceleration vs forward motion ratio...

[@craigwalker6204]

Great video. Love the 62s. Out of interest what were your true pressures at?

[@DamianCandetti]

pretty sure they were right up, was going to drop them if I got stuck

[@jackyrussell1]

Thats good for standard tyres and big van.

[@jeremylongton3606]

Hi guys great work, I am picking up my y62 this month, I hate to ask but any issues with the gun metallic paint? Cheers

[@DamianCandetti]

not so far and this is the second gun metallic I have purchased.

Nothing with ours 2018

[@enesfazlic6017]

Nice driving by the wifey👍

[@doradosurfcharters]

Done well for full tyre pressure in van and car that rig would go through anything if all tyres where on 10psi 🍻

[@zforce69]

What do you think of the Y62? happy with it? Would you rather a diesel or do you like the petrol?

[@DamianCandetti]

For cross country the Y62 gets better fuel, for stop start city driving the 200 are much better. They both pull very similar fuel figures when towing large vans. I have always prefered petrol but I was really swayed with the price being 50% cheaper than the toyota. that being said its worth mentioning that with my lead foot around town I was pulling 20L/100k average

[@MattBlack6]

@@DamianCandetti going purely from stated fuel figures, you'd need to do 400,00 odd kms in the LandCruiser to get the purchase price difference back in fuel saving.

[@Luke8487]

Which area at in skip where you camped at?

[@DamianCandetti]

pretty sure we were at S.S. Dorrigo Campground

[@bsetay5115]

Is your patrol on standard suspension?

[@DamianCandetti]

Yes with airbags to assist with the load. Full disc. I would next time get rated springs as all 4 times I have had airbags they leak air. Pretty unreliable.

[@pen1910]

good girl . well done

[@holdenbrougham7768]

G,day Damien, just like to commend your wife driving , i thought she quickly felt out how to power and how much , maybe you could explain to her about feeling the car slip or grip and how to apply power bit more gentle as car starts to grip or less power when it slipping , or demo this to her , but if she was my wife i,d be proud of her abilities

[@robbierolly453]

Just used 40ltr of fuel to move 20m

[@DamianCandetti]

haha I have a much much worse video, got the car and van stuck on a beach. took 2 V8 patrols 2 hours to free it.

[@andrewnabos937]

She's good

[@jeffreystorer4966]

I like the comment he chopped it up for next person camping ? Goats do less damage

[@TheScary79]

Maybe a bigger van would have been better...

[@DamianCandetti]

Theres always next time.....

[@ronbrown2529]

Mate, how useless are those so called off road vans.

[@DamianCandetti]

I thought it did alright for 22ft, what off road vans are you into? love checking out new stuff.

[@ronbrown2529]

@@DamianCandetti Don't mind me, I just have a thing about large off road vans. If your caravan does everything you expect of it, then it's the van for you. Happy travels.

[@riamriam6758]

You’ve got to be pretty special to take house on wheels on soft sand or hard tracks. Nothing to do with the camper, it’s the driver who can’t leave home without taking his home with him and expects to take it anywhere because it has bigger springs and A/T tyres.
