Hey The width can be an issue sometimes but honestly not often. There were a few tracks in southern WA that I wouldn't recommend taking a Mog down or even a 200 series if you don't like scratches. The height was fine most of the time. Obvisouly you need to jump out and spot a bit more because it can get pretty close. There are more and more trucks travelling and I think it gets better and better. Some roads have a GVM limit though which can be more of an issue🙄

@@PatandJele thanks for the information ❤️

Where to next on your journey ?

We sold it because we built the Unimog Expedition Truck :) Ours got hot sometimes when driving uphill. Have you checked if the fan engages properly?

Cause the entire video is about the OGO toilet🤣

Also thats a fair.y standard switch im sure they do dc rated ones that might help

Oh I think I see the answer in the closing shot, you built a subframe?

We used the standard tray but took the ply out since it was in bad condition anyways.

@@PatandJele thanks :)

Awesome! Well you can unlock the side door manually. At least ours had the option :) Worst case you climb to the back from the cab and open the door from the inside which always works :)

Thanks for the reply! We are enjoying our sprinter and love what you did with yours. Enjoy following you guys too! Have fun.

@@James-nx4dk thank you😍🥰

There is no such thing like a 'finished build'🤣🤣🤣

Cause we're German🤣🤣🤣

Hey! Send us an email through so we don't forget and we'll have a look :) You can find our email address in the description of our videos :)

Well, if that happens you fix it and keep going :) We restored the entire truck and pretty much know it inside out😎

​@@PatandJele how can you afford a engine repair when you have no job. People talk about van life and being out of the rat race. But what if it needs a major repair.. A garage would need it. Where would you live. Also kids. Total different story.. you can't van life with little toddlers especially winter time

@@MikeSmith-qs2nr we know heeaaaps of families doin van or trucklife with kids, babies, toddlers. Definitely possible :) but also definitely not for everyone. It's all about how you want to spend your life. We saved money, don't eat out, don't spend money other than truck parts, fuel and food. We do all the repairs ourselves, a skill that we tought ourselves as well as buildimg the entire truck from scratch ;) Like I said, it's not for everyone but it is definitely the way we love living. PS: When you run out of money (we always have some savings set aside for bigger repairs) we simply do some work, wherever we are. It is so easy to find a job if you are actually willing to work. Also we earn some money on the road as well :) we're traveling and working in the truck, that's why we have Starlink ;)

@@PatandJele my kids never slept ..would wake every 30 mins.. it would be hell doing all that in a van.. I was just saying it's not as amazing as everyone makes out.

@@PatandJele some so skint they have started vanlife onlyfans.. that's true Google it

We love this lifestyle😇

​@@PatandJele молодцы 👏!!! Единственное что вы должны в этой жизни так это быть счастливыми людьми остальное это уже выдуманные басни чтоб нажиться на вас! Поэтому никого не слушайте кроме себя!

Thank you!!!! We really miss doing what we love. We still don't have a visa🤷🏼‍♀️🙄 Once the exams are over we will release new videos. Still have heaps of footage 😍

That's awesome😇 Let us know if you have any questions :)

About 182cm

We will be doing a review of everything in our truck in the coming months. The OGO has held up well, the only thing that happed was the plastic attachment to the agitator (where the motor locks in) stripped out, but OGO sent us out 2 replacements within a week. It was our fault for holding the button to agitate when everything was getting a bit full and solid and we haven't needed the second replacement since.

@@PatandJele thanks. As the bucket is “open “ have you had any of the contents “jump” out on bad corrugated or bumpy roads?

@@zekesteggall2176 actually not. The ride in the back is pretty smooth compared to the cab so the corrugations etc. aren't as bad. The bucket is usually not that full either. It it was the adjutator wouldn't be able to mix it anymore🤣🙈

@@PatandJele thanks

That sounds a bit very hot.... we were worried it was getting stuck shut or open, it would take a while to get warm and on long uphill sections it would get warm (coolant temp 110C). Oil temp is usually 10 or 20C hotter. With temps of 250C you are going to do some damage. Have you checked your oil cooler isn't blocked? Its in a terrible spot in the middle of the V, also a common source of oil leaks....

Thank you🥰😇

It actually a Citizen dive watch Jele got me a few years back. Hope I can still be cool enough ;)

​@@PatandJele OOooppppsss My Bad...It look so familiar...Apologies. Ah yes I can see the distinctive crown design. I'm not sure why I didn't spot it before. I too have a Citizen ProMaster with Depth gauge. Funny you should reply with this post today as I actually had it out to charge it up in the sun. So I love that brand too. I have 4 'divers', each a different brand.

Thank you! It is unreal and we are longing to get back out there! Jele definitely has, I still get picked for my American accent over here, but people back in the US say I have started talking like an Ozzie...

The temperature warning is adjustable and oftentimes set very low from the ADF (around 85C). Furthermore when our DC-DC charger draws heaps of current it drops the voltage which changes the resistance on the gauge, causing it to come on even earlier. We have an engine guard on the engine block and one on the gearbox, as well as temperature sensors on all the portals and diffs. The OM 352 can easily run at 100C, and the hottest we have gotten was 102C on a 43C day in the Kimberly. I would get worried if it heads towards the 115 to 120 mark.

Not too sure about that sadly. We are not sure how much longer we are allowed to stay in this country😐

@@PatandJele I remember you mentioned, a long time ago, about an issue with your visa. Hope we can find a solution. Happy to help if there is anything I can do. Regards Rob

Thank you🙏😇

Thank you😇🥰

Yeah :) This video was shot in October ;) so the start of the build up (wet season) and prettyyy hot!

Thank you🙏

Feel free to watch the other videos we posted. We certainly have tested the limits by now🤣 With crazy angles and massive wheel lifts✌🏻

Yup they were brand new solar garden lights too....

Thank you🥰

Danke!! Yeah they wrote a great article on our build and travels. The US is on our list to travel, but we may have to build another Unimog first :)

Yes they are absolutely spectacular. We were blown away as not many people take the detour and rough track to get here. Yes the next episode was nice as well, with water temperatures around 31 degrees!!

Yes most definitely. I don't want to imagine what it looks like in peak season with buses full of tourists getting ferried through. Although there are more remote places in the Bungles to go to like hiking to the five fingers overnight. That is something that would have to be done in the winter with more mild temperatures. We are glad we went when it was so empty, only one of the campgrounds was still open when we were there and there were about 5 cars there in total. Amazing time and the temperature at night was comfortable, we ended up not having to use our AC at all in the few days we were there. Haha roger that, I'll stick to things I know I'm good at ;)

Hey, Thank you! We really loved it there. So many beautiful walks and places to explore! Gregory NP was on the list but sadly we had to skip it since they closed the tracks (end of season).

Did you go to the 4x4 show as well? :)

Ja allerdings :)

Absolutely! If you get some tips from the locals or go exploring in the area it is a beautiful spot!

Thank you! :)

Thank you! I know...the Mog makes everything look easy🙈

Thank you😇 We've got a lot of rain but it is luckily not as cold :)

Thank you😇
