Join us as we show you how we drive Cape York this July 2023 season. We tow our Jayco All Terrain 19'6" off-road caravan from Cooktown to Bramwell Junction via Rinyirru (Lakefield) National Park taking the Endeavour Battlecamp Road to Lakefield Road, then on to the Peninsula Development Road (PDR) all the way to Bramwell Junction Roadhouse where we unhitch to explore the Old Telegraph Track and the rest of the Northern Peninsula Area. We show you step by step how we do it but also give you some pointers for if you plan to take your van all the way to the very top of this beautiful country!
You can, with a bit of patience and a little know-how, quite easily and safely tow your van to within cooee of "the tip" (Pajinka) and park up at one of the many beautiful resort-style parks available for a relaxing vacation and of course to take a photo with the famous sign!
Just note: we would not recommend towing all the way to the very tip as the road in can become quite narrow with few passing opportunities and the carpark at the end can get very busy. But, if you've driven all the way to the top of Aus it's fair to assume you're gonna un-hitch and relax for at least a night or two to soak it all in. We would recommend Punsand Bay as it is well equipped to wash away the dust of the PDR while you knock the top off a few. From Punsand it's a short drive via the Croc Tent to the tip.
If you're thinking of taking the plunge and towing your van o the very tip of Aus then this video is a must watch. Please feel free to comment if you have any further questions or suggestions.
As always, safe travels ;)

My wife & me are in the market now looking at buying a caravan. So far Jayco caravans have caught our eye, mostly due to there A+ customer service. We are currently looking into the All terrain van & the Journey outback caravan, leaning more to the all terrain after watching multiple RU-vid videos.

I will say the after sales service has been second to none!! We took our van back in after 18 months of full time travel and they replaced all the stuff we broke, even the wear and tear on the sofa cushions, all under warranty! I can’t sing their praises enough! They have been awesome! Even while we were travelling they had branches everywhere so getting parts was a breeze. All you have to do is quote the chassis number and walk out with the part you need. They even gave us a new plug for the sink for free!

Airing down tyres on the van to 40psi is higher than most run on road ! Try 27-30 as a start point, it would not weigh much more than the cruiser.

Thanks mate. I reckon you’re right, we didn’t have any issues at those pressures but it might have made for a smoother ride. The key really is to drive to conditions, slow down and enjoy the journey! Can’t wait to get back up there! I love FNQ!

Thanks heaps! We’ve got plenty of videos from around the country! I highly recommend K’gari and Moreton Island but I do also have some more 4WD stuff coming up from our second trip to the Atherton Tablelands near Cairns so keep an eye out

Thanks heaps Louise, I always hope someone will watch these videos and think to themselves "yep, this looks great, let's go and do it!" I'm really trying to get across that we are just normal people learning as we go and if we can do it then so can everyone else! You don't need to spend a fortune and you don't need to be an expert just get out there and see Australia!

Your airing down pressures are way higher than most recommendations I've just done that trip and we were on 25psi car and campervan

Thanks Adrian, we find if we air down much more with the tyres we have and our weights we get massive side-wall bulge but I’ll keep this in mind and try some lower pressures in future. It’s all trial and error for us! Cheers

Hi Peter, we have a 2013 200 series. It has had a GVM upgrade. It has it when we bought it so I don’t know too much about it other than we have two different compliance plates
