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.

    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.

    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.
