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.

Oh my gosh! It's all beginning to look real. Nailed the colour scheme, totally love that fridge. Megan have an amazing trip with your Mum, those are memories that you will forever hold dear. Thanks guys 🎉

Glad to see you decided to have a bathroom - somehow I missed that decision in the prior video(s). After my unsuccessful 31 year marriage, your videos are my mental health - you give me hope that there is someone out there who will want to share my overlanding/Surf Fishing passion. Been waiting for that since 1978.

So sorry for the loss of your soul mate. Hoping you find someone else to share your journey with.

Megan nailed the color pallete, the white, the green and the gold handles, and that fridge fitment was beyond perfect! You guys might wanna put something to stop the fridge door from swinging open wildy especiallay when park on a hill, might affect the longevity of it. Safe travels Megan, can't wait to see the Japan vlogs.

@HammerRocks Ай бұрын

If your goal is to turn the interior of your caravan to have a 50s/60s vibe, then your ideas for the upper cabinets will suit. You should also consider painting and/or wrappring the door of your fridge. It's modern colour and look makes it stick out and look out of place. You can also get various fridge/wall decals to put on it to make it blend with it's surroundings. Great progress.

@jeffhale713 Ай бұрын

Another wonderful episode, and we love your choice of colour for doors. Jack - you have given my wife vertigo with your camera work. Steady as she goes. LOL

@BirdDesignNZ Ай бұрын

Totally loving the build, would love to see a splash back in the kitchen on both sides (cooking area wrapped around to the fridge) would look especially nice if you make the top line of the tiles sit in line with top of the lower window (if that makes sense) so seam between the two front windows 😊 can’t wait for next episode! Hope Megan’s having an amazing time in Japan!!!

@DamoLawrie Ай бұрын

Dowel on the sliding doors above the kitchen will only work on the "front" door, rear won't be able to slide with dowels on it

Such great videography with the sunsets and sunrises! Stunning! Van is looking great too especially for a couple who are tackling it for the first time. As a cabinetmaker myself I gotta say you both have done really well. I reckon for the upper cabinets you could go a frosted perspex - a nice pastel colour might tie in well with the look. Keep up the great work I can't wait to see the new suspension go in and see how it handles with the upgraded chassis too! Hope you have a blast in Japan too Megan! I'm sure Jack will have a surprise for you when you get back!

@alexandramary3118 Ай бұрын

The colour scheme is lovely. I think you have a great eye for design and colour so you should do what you think best with the higher kitchen cupboards because it will be great.

Wow, looks awesome and love the colour. Great job and coming together nicely. Wife says cupboard above should be white, I would like the mint green. Don’t think either would be wrong. Oh and for the splash back, I would add to protect, even the fake subway tiles would look good.

@robinhoward4204 Ай бұрын

I was thinking the same about the top cupboards - if it was me renovating the van I'd keep it for a bit then change it later if I got bored with it. It's certainly a feature in our twenty year old van we want to keep!

@joyweaver9717 Ай бұрын

For tour upper cabinets, the dowel look will tie in well with the rest, but as your doors are sliding, you would need to make up opening doors, l would personally do the front surrounds in dowel and the perspex sliding doors, underside white, its all looking great, well done

@megkav2921 Ай бұрын

Myrtle looks sooooo good! I love love love the sage green. You guys are doing such a beautiful job. I also love the splash of black from the fridge and hotplate.. splashes of black are a great way to ground and tie together any mix of colours.

Love, love the sage, but it's my favourite colour so I'm bias haha. I love seeing all your hard work coming together, you're creating such a beautiful home! I love the idea of frosted sliding doors in the cupboards above. My only thought is will it create visual clutter being able to see the shadows of what's stored in them? Have a wonderful time in Japan Megan and I'm excited to see when you guys hit the road.

@itsJackandMegan Ай бұрын

Best colour ever!! You know you have a very good point on that one! I’ll let Megan know for sure as I think you’re spot on we will be able to see the shadows!

@Ess_Chalk Ай бұрын

That colour scheme is spot-on! We reckon it looks stylish and retro without looking old. I reckon you'll need to do something to prevent the wall getting stained with oil/fat/sauce spatter around the stove but that nook looks like the perfect spot for a spice rack. As for a coffee machine - the Breville Bambino is compact and reliable and while it isn't cheap, the coffee you get from it is 100% worth it.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned that you need to positively pressurise the caravan for dusty roads. If you don’t every surface will be covered in dust. Also need a way to block the fridge and door vents. Search “caravan dust reduction” Can be made using a car radiator fan and an external aircleaner.

@Amanda-uc5jq Ай бұрын

That is looking amazing 🤩 Love the colour choice, perfect for the space, light but not white. 👍 I think a line of tiles the height of half the front window would look perfect, keeping the height in line with the window I think will help make it look cohesive and deliberate. Enjoy your trip to Japan Megan. 😁

@scroungasworkshop4663 Ай бұрын

Well done guys it looking great. My wife guessed the colour and it’s just the right green too and, if you change your mind it’s just a coat of paint. Jack, you don’t have to run the cables all the way around the inside as most caravan builders just go under the floor with a little bit of silicone at the entry and exit points and run the cable in conduit. We’re glad you get stuff for free and we appreciate the fact that you acknowledge it. Unlike some other channels it gives your channel a more honest feel. Cheers, Stuart & Lea, Canberra.

@Jaya-zn7vr Ай бұрын

Before you told or showed us the colour, I was thinking Sage with Terracotta trim, wood and white. I love the green you chose 🎉 My suggestion, don't make it shinier. You'll find you see finger prints constantly. The matt/ satin is totally the way to go. Also, I'm sooo glad you decided to have a wet room/shower for many reasons. Just having a place to hang wet towels, bathers, wetsuits etc is invaluable. I've absolutely enjoyed every episode of your build. It's looking fabulous! Well done Megan and Jack. Cheers

I have a Sunbeam EM 5000 Coffee machine.. Cheap but good . (no capsules) I use Moccona Instant but Coffee bean Expresso,capp and Latte functions and milk frother (about $180) The milk container comes off and into the fridge until next time.( The machine goes to sleep after 15 mins if you forget to switch it off). If you want flavoured coffees you can use the sachets like you get in motels or supermarkets in it Ok (eg Caramel lattes) in it.

Hey guys Love how the van is coming along. My only bit of advice to you with the induction cook top is with the cut out, be sure to put a good 10mm radius on the corners. Looks like you squared them out after the initial cut. You’ll find with square corners it will more than likely crack at the corners. Keep up the good work

@daveboxwell3151 Ай бұрын

Use some more of the benchtop for splashbacks at either end and wrap around the corners to the window. A nice silicone seal to keep it watertight against any splashes.
