About us:
We're Jack & Megan, and in late 2020 we sold our belongings and packed our lives into our 2005 Toyota Troop Carrier to travel Australia. Our original plan was to complete a full lap of Australia and return home to Perth to resume our 'normal' lives. We decided we wanted to document our lap for the future and began sharing weekly travel vlogs of our life on the road and fell in love vlogging, filmmaking and sharing our lives with you. We completed our first lap and couldn't imagine living any other way so we decided to continue travelling and calling the Troopy home. We have gone on some crazy adventures since then and it is all thanks to you tuning in to join us every week.

Wow what a great job for someone who has never renovated an old caravan. You should be very proud of your progress so far. Keep it up. Can’t wait for the next instalment.

@joannevieritz3463 5 месяцев назад

So entertaining . You guys crack me up. I don’t usually like watching build series but you two are doing such a great job. It’s looking really good.

@Amanda-uc5jq 5 месяцев назад

I don’t generally like build videos either because most people try & make out everything is perfect all the time. I love that Jack & Megan keep it real & show the mistakes that a lot of us would probably make as well. 😂

@itsJackandMegan 4 месяца назад

So great to hear Joanne! Appreciate it 🙏👍

@callumbirt9484 5 месяцев назад

Those cold water pipes look like they'll rub through over time without grommets 😢

@trevorcozens1677 5 месяцев назад

A trick we use when fitting panels into boats is to rip up some thin customwood into 50 or 60mm wide strips, them make up full size patterns of the area that you are covering. you can set out all openings and where lights and other fitting go at the same time. We use a hot glue gun to glue the strips together.

@HammerRocks 5 месяцев назад

For every mistake is a chance to learn, I reckon. Great progress. 👍

@brianlawrence8867 5 месяцев назад

If not already commented, i think most water lines run under the van and clamped with saddles. However too late for now but if you do encouter water leaks, easy enough to re route under the van. Keep rocking you guys.😊

@elwoodroadsmusic9639 5 месяцев назад

I'm a fixing carpenter and i can tell you fitting panels is ALWAYS trial and error!! You just hope for more trial then error :) You guys did really well!!

Terrific coupla kids 👍 Ohh to be young again 🙏

@Sentinel-Ai 5 месяцев назад

I think you're doing a bloody great job, don't compare to yourselves others. As a perfectionist myself i understand the pressures of doing things yourself but you will always be proud of whatever you achieve in the end. Well done guys.

@johncampbell3628 5 месяцев назад

Little tip - put little red clips in the John Guest fittings. Stops them from coming apart

@itsJackandMegan 4 месяца назад

I got a whole heap of them 😉

@peterreeve3030 5 месяцев назад

This series is so entertaining, I love your layed back attitude, however behind the scenes there is a lot of cross words.😅. A small thank you on the way. When I saw the notification pop up had to stop working on my van to watch you.

@gavindereus3643 5 месяцев назад

@itsJackandMegan 4 месяца назад

Aww thanks so much Gavin! It usually takes us until the video is edited to look back and feel proud of what we've achieved for the week. Hopefully we can get better at feeling it in the moment 😅

@MikeSmith-rn6ml 5 месяцев назад

Haha wall week reminded me of when we did our walls… all the same problems, all the same frustrations! All worth it though… don’t get discouraged. Can’t wait to see the finished product, and looking forward to running into you on the road somewhere

@rigelrogers5264 3 месяца назад

I get comfortably is everything but its good to see someone doing this where its still cheapish, and light enough still to tow otherwise it defeats the purpose of a caravan not making a full on cabin style 👍

@580311able 5 месяцев назад

Hey guyz been following ur caravan rebuild, u guyz r doin an awesome job. We all make mistakes, but we learn from that. Will come up great, n will give u great satisfaction at the end. Neways keep goin. Lookin forward to ur next video.

@PauletteJones-qn2di 5 месяцев назад

You should be very proud of yourselfs as its not an easy job. Keep up the good work.😊

@customs112 4 месяца назад

20 years of practice in the building industry measuring and cutting things right the first time is an advantage some of us old buggers have I guess.

@alexandramary3118 5 месяцев назад

You are both simply wonderful. Your work looks great. Don't worry about how often you are posting videos; I am notified when they come out. Your videos are so good that I do wait with bated breath to see them.

@itsJackandMegan 4 месяца назад

Thanks so much Michael! Appreciate your support 😄

@miketi6598 5 месяцев назад

Great work! Some suggestions before its too late: - hot water in the kitchen is a god send - hot and cold outlets outside the rear wall for external shower - external cold water tap for hosing the van, car, Megan etc.. I've also added external lights on all 4 sides which are great security of a night and for night time activities. A couple of external Anderson plugs are also handy for showers, tyre air pump, fridges etc... Fill point for water tank? Grey water tank? Any thoughts on a TV antenna / starlink connection? 🤠

@vf1000f2 5 месяцев назад

Hi my best friend has a motor home around 8 years old and the Perth summer heater has his wall and ceiling ply coming away, the glue is letting go. He has tried putting a fan inside but it not working. I would put as many rivets in the walls and ceiling in particular as I could. As long as they are in a straight line they will look ok. If you do some off road trips the vibrations could make the panels let go. We own an Explorex ( Perth built ) caravan and it has rivets everywhere and we did the Gibb no problems.

Hahaha this week we had to stay positive or else we would cry 🤣🤣

@adventuresofgraemeandang8051 5 месяцев назад

Ceiling looks great. Id be a little concerned of your water pipes theough the aluminium chanel, over time, and vibration theres a good chance they will rub through and youll have a leak in a potentially hard place to repair. Might be better to drill bigger and put some.rubber grommets in theb run the pipe theough the grommets. What hot water system are you installing? If gas they need vents on the outside but I'm sure you know that.

@Terranmmhl 5 месяцев назад

Oh no, you even had me calling it corrugations, I forgot the word for a second for the conduit haha You've certainly managed to make this an interesting series. This caravan is coming along really well! Edited perfectly, had a giggle at the split-second modem noise as Jack was putting his sentence together.. No horror-movie Merv sound effect though 🥲cracks me up every time.

@itsJackandMegan 4 месяца назад

Hahaha Jack was saying hey we didn't have a Merv jump scare in this one, we'll have to make sure he makes an appearance in the next one 🤣 So stoked to hear you're enjoying the series Terran 🥰

@ltholmsy 5 месяцев назад

Hot tip.. holesaw slightly to small? Once you've cut the hole just put the holesaw on an angle and go again. Will make it slightly oval but will make it touch bigger. Works well to allow space for the spring clips to.

@whiteunicornDR659 5 месяцев назад

The modem dialing sound when Jack was thinking was gold 😂

@itsJackandMegan 4 месяца назад

🤣🤣 I had a good chuckle at that while editing it too haha

@kevincashmore4655 5 месяцев назад

At least you don’t have to take the window frames out only the windows out of the frames. You can also still get the flatscreens for your windows

Hi guys loving your build your inspiring us to finish our vintage caravan. Man the fights I have with my partner over our caravan. I'm in Western Australia too I love watching you guys.where did you buy your pre painted ply from. Cheers guys we need to catch up to you guys keep it up your doing a great job

@hiltonr1845 5 месяцев назад

@itsJackandMegan 4 месяца назад

🤣🤣 don't look too closely at Myrtle, she's self conscious 🫣

@trevorhicks7852 5 месяцев назад

Well done to both of you!!! This type of panel work is not straight forward and needs to be done right. So slow and steady wins the race! And it's better and more economical than needing to do the job twice! Keep up the good workpersonship!!!
