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.

Kids in every household would sing this back to the adults when told to wash our hands.... Looking good guys. And cheers to Ryobi! Very generous

  • great job guys and awesome by Ryobi to support! Tip for Paint roller trays: put the tray inside a garbage bag, then pour the paint in on top of the bag. Use normally, then when finished, pull the bag off and throw away, leaving you a perfectly clean roller tray. keep up the vids, we love watching.

  • Chiming in from Duncraig. We fully reno'd a late 70's Roma 17' 6' single axle caravan a few years ago and it came up a treat. New floor/new walls/new ceiling (from Gunnersons- white walls theme / complete new internal fittout/new security screen door/modern style new hinged step/new axle-springs-shocks-electric brakes-rims & tyres. New split system reverse cycle aircon. New full height fridge & underbench freezer, island double bed with Orpho pillowtop mattress, modern benchtop with deep sink, new smart LED flat screen TV from Camec. Ours came with 2 x 4 seasons roof hatches in perfect cond. Added a large storage box to front drawbar. New carefree 16' rollout annex and external LED strip mode lighting. We have had many awesome holidays in it up at places like lancelin, Kalbarri, Coral bay etc & down south in the Dunsborough/Margs, Albany, Esperance regions. Tare weight 1,300kg & gross 1,700kg so it tows like a dream in our 2007 120 Prado as you are not towing a heavy slug which most modern caravans are. Wish i knew you were in the hunt for a vintage van as i would consider selling her as we bought another van recently - 1989 18' poptop as follows - Coromal "Seka 535" 18' dual axle-fully independent suspension/ poptop in exc cond as i want to kit this one out for fully off the grid and wanted a light poptop to get down those difficult tracks with low rooftop clearance (roof is no higher than the Prado when down which means good clearance from overhead branches when the going gets tough). Let me know if you want any advice or any pics as i have a flickr folio a can link.

  • "You can't argue with Mathematics"....quote of the day ! loved the music and fun vibe in this ep, which considering it was about sanding and watching paint dry, two of the most boring subjects...... killing the production as always.

Tip, when spreading/smoothing/touching silicons with bear hands/fingers,, use soapy water on your hands/fingers before touching the silicon .... or use gloves. Safe builds guys🤙

  • Great ep! The quality of videography is really enjoyable! Build an expedition camper and take it to NZ. Or, how about a tiny home series from old shipping container(s). Might keep them on the land your at right now and when you buy a piece of land in the future, get some trucks and a crane and ship them!

  • Awesome episode, really love your work and its inspiring to watch. Originally, I was daunted by the amount of work you had in front of you, and I would have found the disrepair of the van overwhelming but now that I can see it happening, I can see the possibilities and how it will turn out. It will be so rewarding to finish it and look back at the journey. Also love your positive attitudes and energy in such hard hot conditions. And good on Ryobi Australia for supporting you and making things a lot easier, great to see. Just keep going we love it!

  • 4:00 I see Megan has a secret super power of being able to work in a white top without it getting filthy , I can't do that 😆. One question you might have already addressed , will you be bonding / fixing the roof to the new aluminium cross bearers so the roof doesn't rattle against them when towing and chafe ? It's looking great , a credit to you both and how good of Ryobi to send those tools , that has to help heaps 🙂
