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.

"Take your time" - Brilliant - I'm in the middle of doing my Alu-Cab Canopy Camper and am certainly taking my time designing and building it right. Most folks don't... You should consider packing cubes to store your clothes - a game-changer. Definitely being able to access the fridge from inside and outside is gold A stealth bed is nice for a quick sleep in more urban areas. Good layout - Thanks for the tour

Hey guys, would you be able to do one more of the exterior, your awning, other gear you use. Also would like to see the bed setup. Would be awesome to a bit of how to eat on the road, lunches, dinners etc! Loving the vids as we are planing a trip over to WA next year.

Hey Madison thanks for watching! We do have another video on the awning and bed setup that I'll link for you below. We were actually talking about maybe doing a video like that on our meals so we'll definitely get onto filming that one soon, thanks heaps! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7iDpdOYtMudeGQ.html

If someone was considering travelling / touring rather than renting a house , rent is upwards of 15k - 20k per annum or more , that is a serious offset to the cost of the rig , also right now with the Covid labour shortage in rural / farming areas there is the opportunity to supplement the trip . In other words , apart from the risk of being caught up in a lockdown area for a while , there has probably never been a better time to up stumps and hit the road , see the wide brown land and the jewelled sea from here to there and a bit past the back of beyond . Enjoy :-)

Hey guys, Enjoying your videos! We are building a troopy in NZ at present. I have a question about the rooftop conversion... How far does the base (that the flip-up bed rests on) stick out from the troopy wall? Do you notice that in the back of your head/neck as you sit on the bench? We have an old kea camper troopy in Africa and it's a bit of a pain in that. If you have a tape measure on you (ha, ha...), could you tell me what the bed gap is from LH side to RH side? Enjoy your travels!

@itsJackandMegan 3 жыл бұрын

Hey thanks for watching. Yes that part can get annoying sometimes. We don’t have a measuring tape on us right now but I’ll keep it in mind and get back to you ASAP!

@leithmurray736 2 жыл бұрын

I don’t think the sway problem is caused by the fridge. The 2 x 20 litre jerrycans on the back door are more likely to be the problem

Question : How often, if at all, do you transit from the cab into the back and vice versa whilst inside the vehicle ? Or do you always go via the outside ?

Always via out side mate. When the roof is popped it’s easy to get into the cab if needed!

@@maxinedevoogd8400 honestly no not really only thing I have noticed is the sway with the weight at the back even that’s not to bad. If I was to do it all over I would definitely be looking into proper weight distribution regardless.
