Beach Towing

Hello i had a corromal magnum 440 towed it all over fraser island several times no worries with a 3 litre patrol,the bigger wheels on the van the easier to tow in sand,,eg my 4.5 metre tinny with small wheels is harder to tow in sand as the skinny tyres cut into the sand (under 750kg) than the van on big wheels (approx 1400kg)

I have towed similar on a beach a number of times.. no problems with the tyre pressure down. It is a fairly solid beach that I know quite well though. It really depends on how soft the beach is and what the tide and swell are doing.

Hi Steve
You should be fine, don't be afraid to let those tyres down (no less that 12-14psi) every tyre is different and will respond to different tyre pressures so experiment, 1 or 2 psi can make a big difference. If the going is tough also experiment with high and low range and different gears, it won't take long to find out what works best for your car / camper combination. Driving on sand is a bit like a boat keep it on top of the sand like a boat on the plane. No sharp turns or hard stops or you may pop a tyre of the rim. Enjoy your new camper

Hi Steve n Rosie
I own a Pajero 3.2 auto and have towed a 2t loaded jayco expander on Moreton ,Cooloolla and Fraser Island .Best to travel on dead low tide lower tyre pressures and make sure stability control is off for soft sand work .The wheel base of our jayco was much larger than the Pajero i could see the vans tyres making teir own tracks in review mirrior.Cooloola is a good place to test things out easy entry and exit off beach and eay open spots to set up.
