TEEWAH BEACH NIGHTMARE : Ford F350 & Caravan Bogged for hours!!!! - Caravanning Australia E79

Well, talk about a memorable camping trip! We had our hearts set on spending a few nights on the stunning Teewah Beach, but things didn't exactly go according to plan. As soon as we hit the beach, our car got bogged just 20 meters onto the beach.
What followed was an epic adventure that we won't be forgetting anytime soon. We spent the next four hours getting rescued not once, but twice, in a bid to get our car back on solid ground. The whole ordeal was a real test of our patience and resilience, but we managed to keep our spirits high and find the humor in the situation.

WHO ARE WE:
We're Grant and Bianca - two travel enthusiasts who have been exploring and camping across Australia since 2017. Our dream was to caravan around Australia, and when Bianca was made redundant, we saw that as the perfect opportunity to pursue our dream.
In March 2021, we hit the road in our Ford F350 American 4x4 Truck, towing our 2003 Bushtracker Off-Road Caravan with our 2 Dogs Frank and Baxter.
After a year on the road, we realized that caravan life and road tripping were in our blood, and we decided to continue with our journey. We started this channel to document our travels and share the amazing places we've discovered, and the tips we've learned along the way, including the delicious meals we cook on the road, whether in the caravan or over a campfire.
Join us as we continue our journey through this incredible country and subscribe to our channel for the latest updates on our adventures and the joys of caravaning Australia!

    Just in case you’ve come straight to the comments and not watched the video yet. We had mechanical issues that stoped our automatic 4WD from engaging, the problem has now been resolved. We’ve never had a problem with taking the car and van on the Beach before this, and were unaware that was had no 4WD after the truck was lifted. But everything’s sorted now. Thanks for watching 😃

Took me 3 hours digging holes for my spare wheel as an anchor point to winch off to get the dead weight with no drive to all 4 wheels up the beach away from the incoming high tide. Still love that place, been going there for 30 years. Just a pity everyone knows about it now…😢

    Wow, what a video. We are locals and tow a big van up there all the time. Been bogged many times too over the years. Even in 4WD with a V8 on 35 inch tyres. So don't feel bad. My advise would be head straight for the water and exit straight from the water. Not the sides as its very soft and you loose too much momentum with the corner and distance you need to go. Let heaps of air out and you should be fine. Good luck for next time

    Kudos to you funky kids for showing what happened in such an honest way. It’s been ages since I commented on one of your episodes but we spoke back in the days when you first started. We lived full time in our 20ft BT which we towed behind our Single cab 79 for 7 years. I was much lighter than you but still at times high 6.8 tonnes. I can’t comment on the Ford but the giveaway signal there was the fact initially that the rear of the truck was bogged but the front wheels were up high on the sand. I did exactly that one day because being a knucklehead I got out and locked my hubs in but forgot to select 4x4 in the cab…..I was too busy chatting with the wife and excited about the adventure ahead. The minute I hit the sand on the beach and it was boom, just like you. I jumped out and immediately realised the problem >>> Operator error 🤣 That said, you need to tackle these jobs knowing exactly how much sir should be in your tyres. Go low then go steady. On the beach with the BT in tow I’d always stay around 15psi max , it really extends the tyre length. I have gone as low as 11psi, no problems. Glad you didn’t loose any teeth 😂 and so happy u wernt In the situation where the tide could have swallowed your whole rig. 👍🏻 Keep living the dream folks 👍🏻

    That’s a bit of a bummer ! I hope this doesn’t deter you from going on the beach ! As far as I can see you did really well with a 4 tonne van and a 4.5 tonne truck with only a limited slip differential to get you on and off the beach( pretty much 2 wheel drive) hope it hasn’t ruined you guys but this would’ve been extremely stressful you handled well (from what I could see) cheers

    After I had some oil seals replaced on the front of the Isuzu NPS one of the locking hubs was assembled incorrectly so no 4wd. It’s embarrassing getting bogged in a caravan park! Before I worked out how to fix the hub we got bogged twice in a week in 2 different caravan parks, the van is just a dead weight in the mud. We got towed out the first time by a 2wd Hilux. Second time we had to unhitch and moved the van with another 4wd.

    Unfortunate aspects of Ford technology in the 4WD. Their older Super-Duty and F-series models always had manual locking front hubs on the axles, as well as manual floor shift transfer case lever versus the electronic and vacuum activated system on the newer models. I prefer the older stuff as well, so that once can feel the 4WD engage when it's needed.

  • @Renegade040
    @Renegade040 Жыл бұрын

    As soon I started watching this video, I said the front wheels are not rotating, somethings wrong, it's not in 4WD. When you get bogged in soft sand and everyone gets bogged at one stage, all 4 wheels will dig themselves down, but your front tyres were high and dry. And for people helping, all 4WDrivers will always help out, but a HiLux driver, that's stretching it a bit, only kidding, he did a great job. Only one question, which you didn't address, what tyre pressures were you running, look far to high for my liking. With nice big tyres on your rig, go down to 12PSI or even lower and that's on the van to, but in this situation properly wouldn't have made no difference. But at least you can have a laugh about in. Good luck getting your truck fix, you need it.

    How the bloody hell did no one see that your front tyres were sitting up on the sand while the rears were digging their way to China??? I was waiting for you to say "oops" and hit 4wd to drive right out, but started to think it must be a lifted 2WD or something. When things go wrong, sometimes you need to look at the basics. We all get a bit frazzled under pressure. Glad you finally worked it out.

With 450hp (3.5litre V6 twin turbo 2019limited) lighter than yours and can’t tow as well but it’s a weapon in the sand. I often tow over 3.5ton. But probably wouldn’t attempt to tow that much in sand. Usually lower tyres to 10 or 12 lbs.
