7 Day Bathroom Build Challenge (vintage caravan renovation)

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks so much for joining us for our final caravan build episode 🥲 We will miss you guys over the next couple of weeks but will see you as soon as we possibly can with a finished Myrtle. We also realised after signing off the vlog that we forgot to mention a few things, firstly the toilet 😅 don't worry, we will have one (not on a slide obviously like we originally dreamed)- will chat more about it in the next video! The other thing we forgot to mention is why we couldn't show you the shower running- it's because we had only just done our top seal a few hours prior. Very excited to show you all of that in a few weeks! Cheers guys, we really appreciate your support of the series 🙏🏼💚

[@rachellewis907]

Good luck doing the finishing parts! It looks like it will all come together in spectacular form...sooo looking forward to your pre-tour we finished the last bit of our Van tour? There will be loads the share? Your cabinets above the kitchen, finished bathroom pretties, the wall at the lounge / bathroom wall and...and...please do share when you can, you both have been lovely to watch overthis series and inspiring ❤

[@treeman3663]

After just starting to follow you pair I'm so sad to see the last video 📹 your build series has been awsum and fun to watch. Jack is a very clever bloke. Shall miss you

[@addhmann]

Well done guys, take your time getting it just right then post. Love your work, thank you ❤❤

[@deniswray6232]

Megan's happiness has tripled every episode of the build and Jack's self doubt is funny

[@brettyallop6018]

Hate to be a premature commenter, but at 18:48 when Megan stood in the shower, Myrtle truly became a home on wheels! So glad that you pushed yourselves! Looking forward to the shakedown video when you take her out for a trip and get to enjoy the fruits of your effort and hard work while still bringing us entertainment! Thank you Jack and Megan!

[@itsJackandMegan]

Ahhh that was honestly the best feeling! 🥹 so excited to get it all done properly! Thanks for joining us 🙏🏼

[@PenelopeA57]

It looks so good! You’ve done a smashing job and should be so proud of yourselves! Those colours give a very serene retro feel.

[@michellepelgrave3516]

Absolutely loved watching you guys renovate your caravan💖😁👍💯 thanks for sharing it with us!! 😁👍👍

[@GNCAdventures]

It has been amazing watching you guys renovate this van. Congratulations on all you have done

[@priscillacatania8275]

Well deserved. King and Queen travels. Space is good

[@aerialworxwithspikee]

bathroom looks great Jack and Megan, can't wait till it's all finished, and you start on next adventure.

[@Jaya-zn7vr]

Megan and Jack 🎉🎉🎉 WOW!! I've thoroughly enjoyed every single episode of Myrtle's move into the 21st century. You both work really well together and have performed an absolute treat on your new home 🎉 A call out to Ryobi and other products that have helped this beautiful home come to fruition. I'm looking forward to seeing her dressed for her debut. Congrats guys 🎉 PS Remember, Merv is always watching (like us) 🌿 ☮️ ☯️ ⚛️ 🦋 🧡🧡 🌸 🐬 This is Australia 🇦🇺

[@Kristina_Australia]

I only found your channel near the start of Myrtle's rebuild (she was a shell) and can't believe how much you have done! Myrtle is just beautiful and I'm so glad you went with the bathroom. Even within yourselves you have grown 🙌 Well done guys

[@coloradoridgerunner791]

Megan is so darn cute we can forgive all the rambling on in this video. Love watching you guys please keep the videos coming🤗

[@elaineblackmore5344]

Wow, you guys, what a major accomplishment! Love the bathroom walls and floor. I'll patiently await the final reveal.

[@howie_on_tour]

We had too bright lights outside our car which attracted every bug for miles. Transparent colored film or tape helped so much. Tesa or 3M or others do have those. Great job guys 🎉

[@deirdrefisher2773]

Well done guys, hope to see one of those beautiful massive photo of the troopy and your travels on that wall. Would be cool.

[@Amanda-uc5jq]

That looks amazing, well done 👍 In the shots from further away the lounge looks great with the bathroom colour (at least on my phone 😁) I love your travel videos but surprisingly I’ve really enjoyed all your build videos too even the car rebuild. PS love your tracksuit Megan

[@4wd4mentalhealth58]

Looks so good. You two have done an amazing job bringing everything together. Looking forward to watching some of your van life videos and seeing the adventures you take Myrtle on😊

[@ylesone]

Congratulations! You should be so proud of how amazing Mertyl is. I've really enjoyed the journey and how authentic and beautiful you are. You guys just glow together. Looking forward to what's next ❤

[@4onthemove673]

Omg the bathroom looks so cool. Can’t wait to see to finished vid. Its looks so good

[@Mike-c3p]

Hi Guys. Am really enjoying watching the reno vids. Please consider posting more reno vids over the next few week rather than posting nothing until you start travelling again. Helps me to get motivated to finish my van reno. Great work!

[@SharonSalmon-kf6lt]

Wow Myrtle is looking awesome, great job guys.

[@suekeane]

I have emjoyed ALL THE BUILD SERIES.. i would have watched more.

[@itsJackandMegan]

So happy to hear that! We'll definitely have one more moving in and recapping the build 🥰 Thanks so much for joining us for the whole series 🫶

[@belindaclarke7803]

What a special pair you two are the colour of your bathroom would make Myrtle 50 yrs ago proud. A flying Duck or 3 and a splash of Old Tupperware awesome job you guys.I'd love to see you drive by the Sunshine Coast in the Grand old Lady Myrtle.

[@mattc8277]

Well done team! The shower turned up sensational, entire caravan giving off home vibes Drunken tattoos, too many 🤣 bee on my knee for the bees knees, kfc on my ankle and Yabba Dabaa Doo on the face of my hand (reference from young wild and free video IYKYK )😅🤘

[@coadyg]

Excellent job, well done, guys 👏 👏 👏

[@philandclarepatch6262]

So lots of work and time to reno an old caravan but what a huge reward to have something that you have built and sweated over and trevailed over and now you get to enjoy it all!! A huge congrats to you both! Lovin this next step of your journey too! Phil

[@ronrogers9610]

The shower looks amazing i reckon you can't wait to get her out and about seeing the country again all the best Ron

[@livingtotravel4290]

Grab an extendable rail from Daiso and a shower curtain from Kmart and this will solve your see through door issue. Will also stop any possible leaks out the door.

[@priscillacatania8275]

Teaching yourself how to do this. Very impressive

[@serenepeacefulrelaxingmusi3874]

If you haven't already done it, you'll never ventilation/steam extractor fans for your shower to prevent mold growth. Maybe you want a concertina caravan door to enclose/give privacy for your bedroom/shower cubicle area. Otherwise, for guests, install the tracks for an annex, and use fold up furniture in the annex to make the privacy of your bathroom not a problem. Hopefully your visitors have access to their own bathroom. The shower cubicle looks beautiful and so does the rest of the caravan. Myrtle is gorgeous!

[@stevekenny4732]

Hey great job. There is an adhesive film that provides frosting for shower screens. I think it is at Bunnings.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks so much Steve! Ah yes we did consider that, but thought if we mess up and get a bubble or a crease, we risk ruining the door. Might be worth a shot though!

[@jasonbarnes5605]

Really enjoyed this build series. You guys have excelled yourselves! Looking forward to seeing the first trip you do with Myrtle.

[@WarrenRorison-yb5ux]

Hi guy's Good job ,you can buy one sided stick frosted plastic film, sorry but can't remember where I got it it was mmmm thru a home window tinter ,if not you should be able to get sticky frosted stencils craft shops. Happy hunting. Great content guy's keep it up Cheers wazza

[@francesclark363]

Golly, what a beautiful van. Our van just has the white walls and floor.

[@NickMcMillan-yg6pk]

Now she's a home on wheels. Great job guys.

[@captainkipper86]

Guys!!!! You have a whole flipping van!! I’m so excited, what an adventure!! Congrats guys, have loved this series 🤍

[@alexandramary3118]

Congratulations guys. Great work

[@lindaarmiger217]

Fantastic job guys. You deserve to be happy as you have given Myrtle a new life. Can't wait to see her completely finished. It won't be long now until you are back travelling😊

[@shaunmoller2997]

Wow the two of you the caravan is looking flippen nice keep it up

[@beko199413]

Loved the series guys! Found your channel last year and haven't missed a video since. Looking forward to seeing where you get to in Myrtle!

[@heatherrowles9930]

Myrtle is looking well spiffy! Will be waiting eagerly to see her all finished and beautiful in a few weeks time.

[@aaronpena1570]

That bathroom wall, you should put a cork board with push pins for pictures, cards, artwork, etc.

[@andrewt3952]

You guys have done a great job. I don’t even want or like caravans. Really cool build series. Congrats 👍🍻🎯🇦🇺

[@oliverdouglas9370]

Fantastic job guys , cant wait to see the start of yr adventures in myrtle

[@MD-np2me]

The bathroom is looking awesome. Well done, guys on the build. Can't wait to see where you guys go on your first trip to Myrtle. See you next episode. Love you guys. I have followed you from the start.

[@mandymorgan8103]

Amazing job guys, it looks fantastic 😎

[@lighting_fast]

You guys have done an amazing job! Well done it looks awesome!!

[@LaurenJohnston-h8k]

Caravan looks amazing guys. You have done a great job!!! me and my partner love your channel. We are also doing up a 1975 caravan which we have been getting inspiration off you guys 🙌 my partner is a carpenter and loves your electrical set up so neat and such a great job. He mentioned why don't you try frosted vinyl on your shower/door? Also where did you get the timber floor for your bathroom? Bet you can't wait to enjoy your lovely van.

[@patryanlrd666]

Looks really good guys. A curtain between the lounge and bathroom/bedroom will give you privacy and add hanging space for drying.

[@wazzshaz1]

That is so great guys congratulations

[@JustcruznRob-AlanaBuick]

Awesome job guys, looks brilliant. The little camera / go pro works fine. You’ve got to be super proud of each other. Lookn forward to when u r back on the road, cheers 🍻🥂

[@montyman-j]

Another great video guys....well done!. Megans "roman" inspired shower is awesome and is just what "drunken tattooed feet " would love after a hard day of hiking! I am 100% sure that the whole look will come together perfectly and showing off your new talents! Well done, great job and love the smiles guys! cheers monty

[@tritonjackmam5.681]

HA GUYS COMING ALONG GREAT 👍 I WOULD GET THE TIMBER OFF CUTS FROM THE SHOWER FLOOR SOAK THEM IN WATER TO SEE HOW THERE GOING TO REACT TO WATER 🤷‍♂️ SWELLING UP 🤷‍♂️ MAY NEED SEALING ?? 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@tonyb271]

Great work guys. Looking forward to seeing the final result and then off on the road. Cheers Tony

[@adventuresoflukejames2643]

Totally forgot you guys do travel videos 🤣 love the build episodes

[@greghoward6305]

Looking sssoooooo good guys you should be proud. Well done.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Aw thanks so much Greg! We are finally starting to feel pretty proud of ourselves now ☺️

[@cliffordmillington8021]

Thanks for sharing your last caravan build I’ve been watching from the start. It’s looking really good now. Can’t wait to see your travels in it eventually.👍

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks so much for joining us for the whole series! Can't wait to get back on the road 🙌🏼

[@Afortunatelife23]

Well done guys! Looks great

[@pstiff]

What a lovely caravan ! All the best with the finishing touches. The white line in the green colour is awesome. I'll be curious to see the costs and how they compare with a good second hand caravan. At least you have something UNIQUE!

[@Patty-kf4rv]

Please put quad up around the top of the roof inside it makes it look unfinished the way it is , great job by the way 👍

[@pradogxld4d]

Awesome !! Happy dance time guys 😊

[@itsJackandMegan]

We are going to do the biggest happy dance ever when this is all done 😆 thanks for watching!

[@Outandabout-au]

If you haven’t done it yet it might be worth considering putting an access spot in the outside wall for the shower mixer (if possible) - would stop you having to crawl over the bed to get to it. Great video - is the little camera a pocket 3? I find that a terrific little unit. Can’t wait for the tour of a finished Myrtle and your ‘shakedown’ trip. Are you putting an awning of some sort on?

[@noahjbarr]

Awesome guys, suppose you will be fitting an awning? Loved watching it come together. Keep it up (enjoy the break)👌

[@ScottMaltby-z8l]

Awesome video series. Very well done. Do you show how you set up the shower plumbing in any of the video's?

[@gregoneil3523]

Awesome work, thats a unique bathroom, so good. Grass green works well on the outside. Where did you get your Viscount decals?? Cant wait for the finished van!!!

[@davidmilledge221]

Take ya time shes coming along great 👍

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks so much David! 🙏🏼

[@martinfinn674]

Gday guys, I saw another Myrtle in Bindoon, Western Australia. Its light blue and white instead. I think they have the same wheels as Myrtle. But, there can only be one Ter-Myrtlator!

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Smart decision to build a bathroom. Congratulations on the completion of the build. 👍 Where's the first trip with it?

[@BlackJDM]

Try MTN 94 Spectral Shadow Black Spray Paint 400mL from supercheap auto for the bathroom door. It works on plastic and the more layers you apply the darker it gets.

[@warrencramer4516]

Love it guys, such a good job!!

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks so much Warren! So happy with how it's all turned out

[@mickp10]

Bathroom looks good, will be interesting how the clay effect cleans. Tile grout is painful, let alone a wall of clay 😊.

[@marielong8496]

Wow guys that looks bloody awesome 😍

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks so much!

[@iainroache1602]

Great job guys. BTW the shower screen is on backwards.small handle should be to the outside. Maybe why it's see through? I have same one and you can't see through it.

[@itsJackandMegan]

@@iainroache1602 hey thanks for the comment, was just wondering if we turned it around how would we close it from the inside? Would have to get someone to close the door. As the handle would then be facing out. I’ll give it a shot though.

[@iainroache1602]

The inside has a rail the entire length to use to open and close​@@itsJackandMegan

[@itsJackandMegan]

Ours is still transparent no matter which way you look through it 😅 and no rail on the inside. Must be different to yours!

[@CoxyR31]

Looking fantastic! My wife and I need to know - where’s the toilet going?!

[@belindalewispaperdreamsscr6474]

Hi guys we built a bathroom in our 42 year old Millard and we used the glideaway door as well but ours is opaque it is milky white and you can’t see through it. Not sure but maybe they sent you the wrong one?? The whole van looks great well done 👍

[@weekend_Xplorers]

I can’t wait to see where you take Myrtle 😁👍

[@itsJackandMegan]

Crazy to think that we actually need to plan some travels soon!

Thanks heaps 😁

[@annapietroniro-widdeson4973]

WOW WOW WOW 🥰

[@NTF-fk8en]

Not sure why you wouldn’t use a proper smooth render coat instead of that other stuff. But I wouldn’t have even gone that route, I would’ve used composite tiles for light weight and then you could’ve hidden all the corner joints!

[@andrewparker734]

It looks great guys

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks Andrew! 🙏🏼

[@KevIsOffGrid]

Look forward to the travel.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Us too! 😅

[@MellanieBroad]

Looks awesome ❤

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thank you! Glad you like it ☺️

[@HammerRocks]

Congratulations guys. I'm glad you decided to keep the bathroom. Quick question regarding the curve feature of the top of the bathroom door, is there anything else within the caravan interior that has the same design element? It seems out of place to me.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thank you! So happy we decided to take on the challenge! I have ordered a flexi mirror for the outside of the wardrobe door in the same shape so hopefully it looks okay and ties it together! 🤞🏼

[@maddisonjennings1642]

Hi Guys! what is the bathroom door called? my partner and i are doing a reno and that’s perfect!!

[@gavindereus3643]

Congratulations guys, you’ve accomplished so much in a short amount of time for your first time caravan refurbishment?
