  • Mongolia Overland 4x4. Tiny Home Overland truck crosses the Gobi Desert. Mongolia is a contrast of stunning beauty and harsh wintery conditions. 2 self built overland trucks ( Leyland Daf T244 ) face freezing temperatures and have to make a run for a warmer climate. But where. North is Siberia, and South is China and no visa. Once the temperature dropped below -30˚c the problems really started. What an adventure. But I wouldn't change any of it. It is through adversity and struggle that a true adventure is made.
    Would I go back again? Most defiantly.
    Whats the coldest temperature you have been in?

      I'm guessing you like deserts. If one you plane to travel arou south America, I'll suggest you to know the Puna region, wich is the Argentina highflats region. It's beside of the Atacama desert, in Chile. But the good thing is that the Argentia side is much more beautiful, and there is barely nothing for 'usual' tourists, by this way you will be alone the most of the time and enjoy the freedom. I was there with my 74 vw bug, there is a video if you would like to watch:

    Some advice for next time you are needing to use a torch to heat things, carry a small piece is stainless steel exhaust pipe, the flexible type like used with your webasto , and blow torch in the end of the pipe . This is an old trick used in Northern Canada, using a tiger torch and pipe . No worry of flame burning anything this way. But I am with you on how the cold finds every weakness on your vehicle, we get -30 to -40 c every winter.
    Hope that helps .

    The coldest we have experienced was 8 days at -17 to -25c didn’t have any trouble with the truck or heater but wastewater was a bit of a problem.
    I really felt your pain for the environmental / climate change damage. We have seen the same issues on our travels. When we visited Honduras early last year they hadn’t had a drop of rain for 9 weeks - it's supposed to rain every day!
    We are running a major climate change/humanitarian initiative in West Africa to stop slash and burn farming /deforestation. Give me a shout if anyone is interested in learning more or getting involved.

Even here in Australia we have lost about 50% are there native animals but that is because of wild feral cats and feral dogs. Yes it said you go out even in our storm season in summer yes be between 2 and 15 every day we used to have a storm and between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. and 4 a.m. and 5 p.m. was a summer heat storms we don't get that today thanks to global warming we get supercells.

    Really enjoyed the video and the incredible Mongolian scenery, thanks. What do you think caused the prop shaft failure? You guys are running very large tyres, could this be a factor? And what are your thoughts on Webasto heater failures? Seems they didnt work in extreme cold even when you supplied pre-heated fuel to them...

    • @matthewpayneadventurerfilm8902
      @matthewpayneadventurerfilm8902  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Prop shaft. The seals on that shaft were probably original so 28 years old. Maybe due to the cold and old seal it leaked a little allowing oil to lubricate the nut. Maybe the nut was not tight enough, maybe the cold also made the nut a little loose. All those combined maybe. I don’t see the wheels / tyres playing a part. Diesel heaters. The webastos say they will work at -40°. We found -30°c to be the limit with our setup. That is pulling diesel from the main fuel tank. So the pump was pulling diesel up out of the tank. I later changed my setup and put a Jerry can in the garage. (boot / trunk) and gravity fed the diesel to the pumps. Also having the diesel in the garage it was much warmer above 0°c. However the pump was still mounted outside. This worked fine at -45° which was the lowest Temperature experienced on the trip. I have 2!heaters. One is a webasto air top, the other thermal pro 90 water heater which heats coolant, circulates it around the radiator inside the truck, plus the heat exchanger for blown air heating and the hot water tank. At -40°c the air top started to leak fumes inside the truck. I can only imagine the gaskets struggles to cope with the temperature differential. This maybe why Webasto say they work to -40°c. Having to open all the windows and vent at -40°c wasn’t fun having just got the truck to a nice cosy temperature. But I still had the other more powerful heater so no problem. Good to have redundancy.

    Do something about the climate?
    Drive around ?
    It is quite natural for the climate to change.
    More CO2 makes the Earth greener.
    Since industrialization, the Earth has become 4% greener.
    Because of Co2, plants can grow where it was otherwise too dry.
    But it's good to believe what's wrong and then do the wrong thing.
    Otherwise, I love to do as you do and enjoy seeing the landscapes.

    Bloody hell Matt, that was a bit full on! Could I ask if you fitted a diesel engine coolant heater? I just fitted one of the Russian ones to my truck and that brings me to my second question. Do you think the Russian air heaters work better than the Webasto or Ebber ones? You must have found people out there using those maybe?
    I really enjoyed this upload. thanks for taking the time to make it.

      Hi Jed. No experience with the Russian heaters . I had a Webasto thermo pro 90 heating the inside via heat exchangers and heating the engine when desired. This works great providing the temp is above -30°c. But if you gravity feed the diesel to the pumps the pro 90 worked in -45°. The air top blew a gasket at -45°.

      Hi Jed, I don’t have any direct experience of the Planar but having worked around a lot of Russian trucks & mining stuff (we had a Kamaz assemble line next to our SCANIA assembly in Vietnam) it’s usually well made and easy to repair, it’s like everything in extreme conditions expect it to fail and bring spares and the Planar spares are way cheaper than Eberspächer.
      But if my life was gonna depend on it! I would have Eberspächer having installed maybe 100 with many D1L still going from 30 years ago, repaired a lot of Eberspächer and Webasto with the Eber most reliable by far, Webasto go better late 90’s when they changed combustion tech to same as Eber ditching there stupid fiberglass burner mat which only lasted 6 months continues use.
      My VW Cali has a 20yr old Eberspächer D3 4kw works like new it gets used a lot most winters quite often at 2000m+
      Having spent a few winters a bit chilly, Sweden and South Korea up at the DMZ our workshop would get blasted with Siberian weather all winter, having seen a few issues -25 is OK for most stuff -30 and below is another matter and better to stay away, have seen engines & transmission fail with oil stiff as heavy grease, sub standard plastic & rubber falls apart.
      Although I’m retired now, we at SCANIA knew a thing or two about winter, there is mechanics from UK & Sweden stationed up at Ulanbaatar it’s a bit warmer this winter averaging -30, it’s normally -40.
      Ideally you need a backup heater with aux tank on the back of the cab and kerosene that should work down to -40 any colder dilute with petrol, Eberspächer states below -30 winter diesel with 50% kerosene or special winter diesel or 100% kerosene.

      @@andywt8460 Cheers Andy. I did have a slight instal issue with a part and the agent I bought from sent me a new controller and ECU. Both were really easy to replace so I do have faith in being able to repair it easily while on the road if needed. I also fitted an airtop ebber and even a Propex (I have internal propane tanks) as back ups just incase.

      @matthewpayneadventurerfilm8902  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      We had decided not to do any cold weather prep as we had planned to cross Mongolia in October. Due to delays that ended up being November, December. If I was knowingly going into that kind of environment with a vehicle then ideally take a petrol vehicle. Not always possible so I would fit a heated fuel filter. Also engine pre heat which I do have using my Webasto pro 90 controlled by a valve to heat either inside, the engine or both. Next I would make one of the heaters petrol. Definitely have 2 heaters, one petrol. It will be more reliable in the cold and burns cleaner meaning less maintenance on it. A log burner is nice to have, I installed one a few weeks after this video in Siberia. Cannot get easier than a solid fuel heater. But it would mean carrying a lot of fuel with you. We improved radiator blinds using a foam mat we carried as a work mat, to lay on when under the truck. And we purchased a wool blanket to go over the engine in Mongolia. Not saying you should do this as there is obviously a fire risk. We also had to change all the oil in the drive train while in Mongolia as it was just too thick. You can get oils that are good for warm and cold weather climates. My domestic battery’s sit on the floor. I would insulate the batteries from the wall and floor. Also ensure water pipes down run along the floors. And ideally have a heated wire inside your waste water pipe.

      The problem with the fuel tank is it’s steel and contains 330 litres of fuel at -30°. It requires a significant amount of energy to heat this up. I stuck a Jerry can on my gas burner inside the truck. After 15 minutes I gave up trying to heat the Jerry can. Thanks for watching. Still editing Russia but that’s the bit before Mongolia . The bit after Mongolia is on my channel, Siberia to Kazakhstan.

      James Amos . We actually planned to cross Mongolia much earlier. But there were some delays, injection pump needed replacing in Kazakhstan causing a 3 weeks delay, we extended our time in Siberia, and then needed to wait another 3 weeks for a clutch slave and master just before entering Mongolia on the 6th November. And Mongolia is too amazing to rush so we extended our visa for another 4 weeks. Total 2 months. Would I do it again. Yes. I will go back to Mongolia but this time in the summer. As it will be a different experience. If wanting to interact with locals then the summer will offer a lot more opportunities. And I imagine a lot more wildlife. I am very excited for you to be heading off on a trip. Exciting times ahead. 😁

      Good effort, Ryan. Quite badly written critique; feels rather vague and subjective, admitting you haven't even finished watching the full video, without any clear constructive comments [i.e. 'praise sandwich'].
      Your comment is fairly redundant in insight, only stating what you didn't find, didn't like. I would recommend trying to push yourself beyond the surface level, and at least give a clear conclusion, instead of appearing to give up. The "I means" are unnecessarily repetitive, for what is presumably intended to be either one or two sentences, or perhaps three. You could also work on grammar and punctuation. However, you tried to articulate yourself to a degree about what you experienced watching only 15 minutes and contribute to the algorithm, so thanks.

Had we known we would be there in November/ December more preparation would have been made. To say total unprepared is unfair. My truck is full of tools, equipment and clothing to be working on those temperatures. I spent 4 hours working out in -30° and didn’t get cold. None of what said was a complaint.
