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.
DEAR TROLLS: See!!! They did it & it looks pretty bloody awesome!!!
Hahah we have a funny reel coming that relates to that 😜

My inner firefighter says please get a CO/smoke alarm. You can now get ones with a 10 year battery.... just keeping you safe!!! Happy trails....
Well done. We renovated our first van over 30 years ago and had a great time doing it. That 1980 Jayco Songbird lasted us 28 years and never failed, I suspect you will keep Mertel for as long or longer. I can't praise you enough for all the things you have learnt in the past 7 months. I love that you, provide to those keyboard Trolls that you could do it and do it well. Those people annoy me as they have no imagination or the inclination to get off their collective backside and try anything. Again, well done, you inspire others.
It is insane how proud i am of people i have never met... you had a vision of your dream home and you put in the blood sweat and tears to make it a reality. Well done. I can't wait to see where you take her. And there is nothing wrong with a card reading.. this viewer is stoked for it ❤
@@megkav2921 thanks so much Meg 🥹 we can’t believe it’s come together better than we expected. So excited to get her on the road! Thanks so much for joining us for the journey 🙏🏼🤍
Well done guys, much cooler than those hi tech vans. You've built this van, on your own and so much more attractive than the new style vans. Great to see you guys bringing back history, you should be VERY proud. Love it!
@@deirdrefisher2773 it’s truly a “home” - can you really say that about the new style vans that are all the same inside? You’re right, they really should be proud!!
@@deirdrefisher2773 thanks so much Deirdre! We already feel so much at home, we honestly couldn’t love it any more 🥹
Proud!! I feel like we’ve watched our best friends achieve something awesome- well done guys!!
Jack, you & Megan own a 4WD and now a caravan, so picking up tools will be ongoing part of your lives. And Megan, trips to Bunnings never ends. 😁
Congratulations and thank goodness you were one of the few Australian diyers that finished your caravan project, as another proud Viscount owner that has done a shell up rebuild, welcome to the club, hopefully we may cross paths one day.
Congratulations you are justifiably proud, you have turned Myrtle into a beautiful home.
I wish there was more than a like button on RUclips!
Absolutely loved watching this transformation and can’t wait to see the adventures you go on!!
OMG, you guys have done a bloody amazing job. I had tears watching how excited you were moving those last few items in. You both should be super super proud of yourselves. Enjoy every minute of your travels in Myrtle, make amazing memories.
You ABSOLUTELY have to keep Merv. He is the perfect addition. Myrtle and Merv hit the road.❤️
Congratulations guys, I remember when you were asking us which caravan to buy, you got it right from the very start! That was such an awesome series, can’t wait to see where you..Myrtle and Merv will go now! ♥️♥️♥️
@@boltonsrus1 Merv MUST stay!!
@@boltonsrus1 haha yes Merv has been through so much, he deserves a holiday! Thanks so much for joining us for the whole journey, we really appreciate it 🥹🫶🏼
Myrtle looks bloody amazing. Jack & Megan you should be so proud of yourselves for what you have accomplished over the last 8 months. Can’t wait to see where you take her on her first adventure. Hopefully we will see you on the road one day. ❤
Myrtle is absolutely stunning! Well done you two. Looking forward to all her travels.
You are two very genuine, humble and beautiful people. Congratulations on your hard work. Now it's time to enjoy, Myrtle! ❤
Wow, you two need to take a bow. Your home looks absolutely gorgeous. Well done. I love how you both work together to solve issues. Now time to enjoy all your hard work. ❤😊🎉
Oh! How wonderful for you both. You have done such a wonderful job on Myrtle. She looks amazing. We had a tear in our eyes at that moment when you stopped and looked at her when finished. There is something about older caravans which feels so homely that modern ones as good as they are made just don’t have. Enjoy her and safe travels. 🫶
Oh, you guys, I have tears of wonder at what you have done! Myrtle is truly a beauty! Elaine from Washington State, US.
You have every right to feel cocky. You have done an amazing job. Congratulations on your beautiful new home.
Aww Megan I got emotional with you ❤
Well done guys you made it to the finish line! What an achievement. It’s been so exciting to watch your progress. Congratulations 🎉
Awesome build series guys. From "We bought a Caravan"! to spending your first night in your dream home. ❤ Have loved every episode and yes! we are all proud of you.✨️✨️
Go and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Well done
What a fantastic journey and a great job done. Congratulations. Now you need to go use her. 👏 👏 👏
You two have done such a great job for a couple of novices!
We a very proud of you for not only the completion of Myrtle but surviving the journey as a couple. 😆😆
Well done.
Guys! Amazing result!
The smiles on your faces at the end say it all!
Time to enjoy it now 😉👌
I thoroughly enjoyed watching you guys during this series. FANTASTIC work, the van looks absolutely amazing!!❤❤❤❤
Can honestly say that you are an awesome couple that achieve anything that you set your minds to... congratulations!! ❤
So proud of you guys and what you have achieved. Watching Jack from an absolute noob to doing trade stuff with confidence and especially the 12v build was really good as not many people will even attempt that stuff. Megans artistic interior decorating and ability to get stuck in and help with power tools has shown that you guys have grown up alot in the last 7months and remember, you can do nearly anything, if you put your minds to it.
Wow!! Myrtle looks fantastic, you've done an amazing job. I've really enjoyed this build series. Enjoy Myrtle and the next chapter. 😀
I love how everything old is new again, I’m a 70s baby, this brings back memories in many ways..
The caravan looks EPIC!!!! . You 2 should be extremely proud of yourselves. Many happy km,s of travelling in it .
Thanks so much 🥹🫶🏼
We have really loved following your travels and build. You have both created an incredible van. Enjoy your future travels; so darned deserved. ❤❤
Guys, you've accomplished a huge thing in finishing the van build. Congratulations 😊😊😊
Really appreciate your support throughout the whole build Gavin 🥹🙏🏼
What a build series! You two build with your hearts and souls…and your blood, sweat and tears along rhe way. Now it’s time to see Myrtle’s shake down trip to check all those pop rivets. Congrats guys, now go enjoy her!
Congrats, Jack & Megan. Myrtle is a beauty. Brought back to life with your blood, sweat, and tears. Now, tears of joy ❤ enjoy 🎉
You can see the emotion in Megan's face when she got up to look at the table.
This turned out wildly better than anything that you could buy new on the market! You've absolutely nailed this perfectly!
I never thought I'd sit here watching a series of caravan renovation videos. But I'm so glad I did, Myrtle has come such a long way! and so have you both!
So good to see Merv is back, too.
Well done both of you! you should be proud of yourselves!
P.S. Myrtle will look pretty good on Fraser. y'know, just throwing it out there. Don't ya reckon?
Myrtle is beautiful! Congratulations Jack & Megan, what an accomplishment! Can’t wait to watch your new adventures in Myrtle!👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟
I feel like a proud Mumma. What an amazing achievement for you both, she is absolutely beautiful. Had to laugh at the end when you let rip Jack 😂😂😂😂 Thank you for taking us along on this amazing ride, can't wait to see where you take Myrtle 😊❤

This episode gave me tears of happiness. Congratulations to you both on an amazing achievement. Approx 12 months ago my hubby and I converted a Reno Master to a camper-van, and it’s given us so many incredible experiences, and we absolutely love it. Wishing you both many years of happiness and adventure with your dear Myrtle.
Congratulations guys 🥳🍾The caravan looks amazing!! and I'm glad you keep Merv 🤡

What an awesome series. You guys are really amazing. Myrtle looks great!!!! Pat yourselves on the back, take a bow and enjoy your future adventures in a very luxurious van
You 2 should be very proud of what you have achieved. I’ve watched your build from the beginning and when I saw the state of the original van I thought you were mad as you had no experience in van building and the major job it is. What a wonderful job you have both done and also the way you work together is also great to see. So many decisions to make when doing a build like this. Congratulations and I hope you enjoy your travels together an the next journey ahead 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow you two have done an amazing transformation to your new caravan, you both should be proud of your achievement and now more knowledge as well. Go go enjoy yourselves well deserved travel well Paul 👍❤️

This is so awesome! I can't begin to imagine how proud you must be of your yourselves - and you should be. How satisfying having done such a fantastic thing all on your own!
So many happy emotions watching this, I honestly feel like a very proud parent and want to run around telling everyone look what my kids have done. I knew all along you’d succeed, Myrtle is definitely your dream home. To see the pride and happiness in your faces is priceless. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Now you will really enjoy your travels, comfort is everything.
When you work hard you get good results , both if you have proved this , good on congratulations.

Wow. Well done you guys! What an amazing restoration/renovation. Very proud of your foresight, guts and perseverance. A great achievement.
Thank you for an awesome series. I reckon you have inspired a whole new generation of caravan doer-upperers!
I've has a caravan since 2007. It's fully fitted for complete off grid living. Don't need anything. Totally self sufficient. I tow it with my 8 ton truck which has extra water tanks and solar panels for heating. And this is connected to the caravan when packet at a site. Caravan has full side tents which makes for huge enclosed outside living. It's modular
Love that the van has Bunbury number plate. Congrats, it looks awesome 🎉
So good to have been able to watch your journey building your new home. She’s just beautiful and you’ve done an amazing job. Such a labour of love. Now go and explore and enjoy! 😊

Well done guys, we are so proud of you both, Myrtle looks more than amazing. She has everything you could ever want in a home on wheels. Your determination and positivity through the good and the tough times makes the end result so much more satisfying for us viewers. Enjoy Myrtle, and ease up a bit on Merve, let him have his own beliefs and live his best life as your roommate. 😅
