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.

I think the Japan trip should be included on this channel. The channel is about you guys and your adventures. People can always pick and choose what episodes to watch 😊 Congrats on the 50k, you deserve it and I’m sure Merv is proud!

Hey Guys definitely keep it all in one channel you will dilute yourselves. Our Caravan is called Mabel but if we win I'll rename her Merv

@anagouveia2019 Ай бұрын

Congratulations on your 50k + i love the caravan build so far and cant wait to see the end result. Batnroom is definelty a great way to complete Murtle. Also Merve will fit in just right once the final product is done. Congrats once again. Both my husband and i love watching all your videos and look forward to each one coming GO MERVE. Also if we win the money would go towards a deposit on a caravan . Xxxxxxx

@DamagedDingo Ай бұрын

On a quiet farm where cows roam free, Lives one-armed Merv, a mystery. In his caravan, old and worn, He haunts the dusk, both eerie and forlorn. Painted face with a twisted grin, Merv’s dark eyes pull you in. Among the barns and moonlit calm, His eerie laugh chills the farm.

Keep under sprung. Turn axles over and rotate. Change brakes so they are still on the same side. You get 90 mm lift. Get the spring man to weld new location plates.
