We drove our ex-army 1975 Volvo TGB13 through 17 countries.
Just shy of 16.000 km and we met so many wonderful people, saw a lot of great nature - and tested the Volvos abilities both in mud, snow and sand!
We drove from Denmark through Europe, to Northern Africa, on to Greece and the Balkans.
Please bear in mind that it was an extended camping trip, not a hardcore trail competition - this is 3500 kg of motorhome with a kitchen sink, not a trailrig ;-)

What a wonderful trip, abandoned roads and off-road experience. Could you shed some insight on route planning, and how to find those connected roads ? Are you using some old military or hiking maps, or guessing from satellite maps ?
@tth0313
@tth0313 3 роки тому
Hi Tom Actually we didn't do any route planning! Our totally stock Garmin GPS has a strange way of leading us into the wilderness, haven't figured out why it always suggest the most rural and damaged roads, but it is fun (unless we are using it in our daily driver!) But remember that the video is edited, so we also drove A LOT of paved roads :-)
@maikelnait4495
@maikelnait4495 4 місяці тому
Reading your description reminded me of two separate incidents when trusting my Garmin nearly caused some serious problems. Once in Norway it recommended a wooden bridge hardly safe for pedestrians and once a gravel road crossing a railway. In both cases I would have seriously damaged my Jeep and got stuck.

Wow .. Spain and snow at around 08:00 .. it still looks like even 6x6 might use some snow chains, at least on one axel for safer trip. I also thought that it might be better to trip in group, then 09:47 hit me with that stuck driver, who was probably caught by rough weather, as no one sane would drive in regular car through that snowy abandoned road. At least the road seemed to me a bit abandoned.

I just have a question. Isn't it a bit expensive to travel in,in terms of fuel consumption?
@tth0313
@tth0313 3 роки тому
The Volvo uses 12L/100km or 8 km/l - so it is a bit thirsty yes :-) But this trip, for 2 persons, all included (vaccines, ferry tickets, food, fuel, souvenirs and so on) was less than 6000 US$ for 3 months, the biggest problem was that we had no income and still had expenses back home :-)
@Coordinator61
@Coordinator61 3 роки тому
Does your Volvo still has its petrol engine? It sounds as a diesel when you are underneath it. Petrol will be very expensive as these trucks go up to 30-40 litres/100 km roughly.

Hej. De 5 punkteringer i havde, var de mere på de 4 bagerste hjul end på forhjulene ? En Dansker i Sverige
@tth0313
@tth0313 4 роки тому
Ja pudsigt nok? - indtil denne her tur havde vi kørt omkring 35.000 km på de dæk uden punktering og vores følgesvende havde samme dæk i samme størrelse og punkterede aldrig... Én af punkteringerne (den første) virkede dog noget planlagt af 3 mand i en Marokansk by, men det var svært at bevise da der ikke længere var noget i dækket andet end hul og de ville have penge for at hjælpe...

@@tth0313 Tak for svar. Jeg er ved at bygge på et TGB 20 chassis ( 6X6 VolToy) En af de mange ændringer jeg laver er at øge afstnaden mellem de to bagaksler til 1,15m. Derfor var jeg interesseret i om der evt var sammenhæng, med punkteringerne. KOmmer i til Helsingborg er velkommen. Jeg elsker når der kommer overland biler på besøg. Langt de fleste gode mennesker møder jeg på vejen. At rejse er at leve og lære.
