WATCH THIS 1st Before You Go To FRASER ISLAND: David DASH VLOG # 18

[@SHOCKcustoms]

Mr dash, thank you for a fantastic synopsis vlog. Keep up the terrific work. The wind always come from the east on fraser so setting up as youve done is always the best way😊. Cheers! Looking forward to seeing your adventure to birdsville and beyond! Prices on fraser re fuel food booze etc... always generally double. Thank goodness for long range tanks!

Mate, great run down on Fraser Island, keep it up.

[@kodez9667]

Frasers an unreal place and we’re lucky to be able to call it our stomping ground. Pity you couldn’t get to the Cape, the fires have damaged it pretty badly. Last trip we did before the fires we camped up their for a week. Awesome place for fishing and perfect if you want to be completely cut off by the tide. Tends to be not too many cars up there either.

[@djnmv]

Great informative video Dave! Keep this kind of thing up with popular places you visit I reckon 👍🏼🙂

[@greatsouthernoverland]

Excellent breakdown of your stay, cheers fella. Was great to see you could tow a large caravan on fraser!! Safe trip back:D

[@boxheadmr]

Old mate wanted to change his shorts and looked around and saw u with the camera.... haha

[@SHOCKcustoms]

Last time we were there we saw the local copper in full uniform on the beers with the locals. Later reports were he crashed the police 4wd car attending to an incident involving backpackers as he was blind! Funny stuff happens on phrase her

[@squeek5810]

Your best report i think so far, Stay safe and well to you and the family.

[@4bnewb969]

A nice concise summary of what to expect on Fraser. On the beach runs how much does the tide dictate when you can? I noted a couple of places that where ‘single lane’ Cheers...

[@DASHOffRoad]

Yes, have to take note of tides before moving around 👍

[@TyFenwick]

Great video mate 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@michaelnugara1]

Having such large vans, did you stay in the one spot and do day drives? I like that water harvesting idea. Thanks for all the info Mick

[@DASHOffRoad]

Yes, we base camped 🙌

[@terrybirch8276]

Hi can you please add a wind breaker for the mic on the Camera

[@geoffodger]

March flies are attracted to green and blue colour as I went there and killed around 200 and the just keep coming as I have a green 80 series and the back packer up further have a white troopy and they didn’t get any love the vids mate

[@bitzel]

Great vlog series well done

[@cameronmeehan6206]

Hey mate, great video. Often see this shared on Facebook sites for people wondering about towing caravans on Fraser. With limited info this a a great resource. With some time now passed since you were here with the van, I’m wondering if you have had any van rust issues? Obviously the chassis are gal, but wondering about other components like suspension, brakes ect if you have had any salt related issues down the track? Thanks

[@DASHOffRoad]

That’s a very good question and yes I have had some rust issues with accessories I personally fitted to the van. Have had to replace them unfortunately. As far as chassis and suspension, they have been fine

[@nickcox6922]

Great vid blog and advice. Do you have advice on AT Tyres for sand like Fraser?

[@DASHOffRoad]

Any AT tyres would be fine on Fraser 👍

[@michaellyons6765]

In your opinion, how many days would be ideal to stay on the island?

[@Svengali_Fishing]

Handy vid, however that exhaust drone is painful..i don’t know how you are putting up with that

[@mungbean84]

There is a permanent police station at Eurong and I believe an ambulance station too.

[@mungbean84]

Dundaburra is the place you were searching for.

[@tarynmarsall7664]

great video! which camp were you at at the start of the video? We have a van but I am finding a lot of conflicting info about where we can take it. My husband thinks we need to take the tent instead.

[@DASHOffRoad]

If I went again I wouldn’t take the van. There was a fair few bits that have shown signs of rust after parking up on a beach for a week

[@tarynmarsall7664]

@@DASHOffRoad that's great info to know, thankyou. I think we'll be taking the tent for that reason and also because I'm so confused about exactly where we'll actually be able to get our van to. So just out of curiosity, which zone did you have your van on the beach at? many thanks

[@danielcrump5615]

Is it worth checking out for a day or two? Or a week is really recommended?

[@jasonmills9402]

Nice work , keep it up

[@shaneturner6887]

Howdy mate whats the go with tent pegs is it all pretty much sandpeg use or are the campsites a bit firmer and you can get away with good steelies ???

[@DASHOffRoad]

It was pretty firm for us, I’d take both if I were you

[@simonorgan9370]

Pack hunters... Where you see one, there's always more stalking ...like you say travel in pairs and keep kids and even teenagers close... Fraser is the best though...

[@StatusImages]

Did you get to Lake Mackenzie, Champaign pools and Sandy Cape?

[@DASHOffRoad]

Negative

[@HenryFamilyTheFirst]

Hi Dash, love your work mate. I have a bloody Y62 S5 problem after watching your videos. I have a 2019 Ranger Raptor and a 2T Opus OP4 camper. The Raptor is not set up to tow this well. Boss Suspension in Sydney has developed an airbag for the arse end of the Ranger Raptor which will be ready in next few weeks. I also have a vehicle broker offering me a great deal on a S5, Y62. Do I go with airbag rear end on the Raptor, or trade the Raptor in on the new Patrol? What to do?

[@DASHOffRoad]

Do you even have to ask 😂

[@HenryFamilyTheFirst]

Patrol it is. Thanks Dash.

[@paulkaciuba7252]

🤣 the guy in the background at 2:40

[@deanbriggs536]

I hate to speak about fuel consumption, but how much fuel did you go through on the island? I am planning a Fraser Island trip later this year.

[@DASHOffRoad]

I didn’t keep track sorry

[@ekkacullenful]

What's the camp site name please

[@ACCOD]

Good video DASH

[@timgerber9690]

Is that an off-road jayco or just standard?

[@puppersmurf4358]

It's an outback Jayco, good van just read the fine print on the Jayco website input the outback model

[@jordanryan673]

Did you run the same tyre pressures the whole trip or just lower for inskip ?

[@DASHOffRoad]

Had it extra low for Inskip. Biped it up to 16-20psi for Fraser

[@jennyt.4987]

Vid was ok … but would have been more helpful and informative if you had included specifics such as the PSI in specific areas … eg at Inskip; going over the rock bypasses, etc, not just one vague reference to psi…. Also footage of how you approached and dragged your 3 ton van through the bypasses and to your campsite etc..:.
