Another first for our caravan 🫣

[@JackandMeganVlogs]

Thanks for joining us for another day in the life! Lets all just pretend the drone footage isn't f*d okay? 😅

[@JackandMeganVlogs]

"Wow what amazing drone footage, you must have all your settings perfect"

[@TrevorTurner-l6f]

Was so happy to find another video from you guys. Great job 👏

[@bryannicholson2108]

Hey Jack the nuts your tightened are not meant to be tight. You will put unnecessary stress and strain on the linkage bracket and arms All split pin nuts should be firm and then backed off one segment to allow split pin to go through It’s similar to boat trailer bearing which use the same principle.of nut and split pin Regards Bryan

[@martingray8363]

Hi jack and megan love the channel caravan looks great. I've built trailers for many years you may need gussets on your spring hangers. Hand brake needed.

[@shepherdsadventure]

How awesome so many of your viewers recognising you and wanting to check out your van 👍😀 You react the way you do from the anxiety you suffer and is perfectly normal 😝 Noone begrudges you because you're trying your best with mental health you disclosed years ago 😊 Safe travels 🙏

[@Chuckiesoutandabout]

“Mate, you can go bloody sit on your keyboard”…. 🤣 Good driving in this ep mate. Especially that beach park up.

[@lonepineX]

"d*ckhead" we heard you & well said to the keyboard coward

[@v8greg79]

Ahh see now thats how you make a vlog, I was smiling the whole way through. Awesome parking at the beach Jack, congrats on realising the dream 🎉👏🏻👏🏻. Safe travels guys 🤙

[@JackandMeganVlogs]

View thanks Greg!! thanks for this mate gives us lots of motivation. :) Enjoy the rest of your week.

[@jasonconnell8619]

Roller rocker suspension like that, that bolt needs to be slightly loose and greased up to allow for movement. Tightening it will increase wear and likely get noisey. Loosen it off one turn 👍

[@flysoutbackadventures]

Hey Jack don't worry about the "experts" who know how to drive caravans. As a road train driver ( retired ) who lives in a caravan and travels full time. I can tell u these "experts" are usually the ones u want to ignore ( so much I wanted to say there, but thought better of it 😁 ). Just keep going and enjoy your travels. BTW, I've been following your travels for years now & both you & Megan always inspire me to new places. Keep up the good work 👍

[@michaeldallimore8590]

Looks to me like you know how to tow a caravan! That is an amazing turning circle. Try doing that with a modern caravan.

[@johnclayton5386]

Loving the new channel so much, the real you guys show. Can tell you that if we see you guys out there we will be saying hello as you guys are our favourite KZbin people.

[@andyportch5044]

Hey jack and megan love the new channel reminds me of your original channel at the start. Little tip with water tank your two straps are to far apart which is why u have sag rule of thumb is 3rds apart.

[@TheHellsbells67]

You two are just so entertaining. So happy I found your channel. Safe travels.

[@davidbosch6440]

Hey Guys, loving the blogs. Jack, don't worry about people looking at Myrtle. They are admiring the van and how beautiful and unique she is. You

[@thatchickwiththetroopy]

Nailed that parking! A little bit of confidence goes a long way! Loving this new channel, it reminds me of your first few back in the troopy days. :D

[@peterreeve3030]

Your new Vlog channel is awesome this puts you up there above so many others JOB WELL DONE. Not just another sightseeing channel.

[@busarob1969]

High Jack, a mechanic here, your egt issue could be a dirty air cleaner, dirty injectors, i have great result for fuel additive called diesel power, i run the ratio of diesel power to deisel a bit stronger than recomended , but it definatley works. clean your air filter, if your egt's are still high, has some one had this car tunned? more diesel equals more power, problem is, when towing or loading the engine it will cause the EGT to run hotter, EGT = Exhaust Gas Tempurture. A rich running deisel will cause hotter egt . other issues could be turbo boost leak or a turbo not making the boost due to wear. engine is added the fuel expecting the air to be there. if cleaning the Air filter and adding deisel injector cleaner doesnt solve the problem, get the car looked at, cause this could be slowly killing your engine , toyota engine are not cheap, spend now to correct the issue or spend big later to get the engine fixed ?

[@robyndehavilland1609]

I am loving all the people recognizing you now, please show more, it’s awesome and makes me so happy 😊

[@ZachNicoll]

Hey guys! Loving the behind the scenes style vlogs! If you're heading in the direction of Victoria I suggest you check out the Howqua Hills Historicl Area - amazing rivers, nature and hills with historical shacks. Great platypus, wombat, kangaroo, and bird watching! Stop by Lake Eildon on the way for some great sunrises and sets on the waters edge for your photography Megan (if the weather permits (fingers crossed!)).

[@SMITHIE69]

Megan you are not boring its the truth talking which we all love to hear .This is why we watch you guys ...keep it up

[@paulrobins4423]

Hi Guys. Loving both channels. Grew up caravanning in the 60s and 70s. A tip from vans of that era. The long cabin hook on the door isn't just for hooking the door open. It should also hook into another loop in front of the door when travelling. This stops the door flying open as you are driving. It is likely a couple of the holes you filled in front of the door were where this other loop used to be. Should be able to pick up an ordinary cabin hook at Bunnings and use the loop out of that. Rivet it in place so that the hook is fairly snug against the door frame when it is in the forward position. That way it won't bounce out.

[@waynebrown6553]

I add a twist wire on it to stop it jumping out. 😉

[@peterwest5661]

Meegs had you already had a cocktail when you were doing your disco bit? Loved it. Nice parking Jack!

[@amandawoods2157]

You will get lots of attention with a stand-out van. Our bus, Myrtle, is green and white, and people followed our journey all over Australia. All the white and black caravans look the same, but when you turn up to a caravan park, you notice ones that you have seen before that are different from the crowd.

[@gavindereus3643]

Guys, please hold your heads high on your renovation of Mertyl, she looks bloody beautiful 😊

[@markpanhuyzen6829]

Just tight and back off then split pin. Those thin metal brackets bend . They will tighten forever and all you will do is stress the brackets.

[@mwilliams2101]

Can’t believe how tight of an angle you can swing that van around on! Bloody amazing As someone looking to get into caravanning, loving watching you guys get your bearings - keep it up!

[@stevieleelee5754]

Love you guys in these vlogs, I feel like we are finally getting the real Megan and Jack and you guys are hilarious 😆

[@lukeclarke1068]

G’day guys another awesome upload. Bit of advice like many others have pointed out that bolt needs to be slightly loose. The pin will stop it from coming off. Bend the ends one one way one the other. Also don’t drag the van like its a zero turn. It can pop the tires off the bead just something to keep in mind.

[@savethebeeeez]

Loving the new channel! ❤️

[@guywilson8601]

Love watching you guys on both channels as you are keeping it real. Keep doing your thing.❤

[@stevethelander221]

Loving these videos, don’t worry about what you think is boring , you are keeping it real , as a truckie you could have easily reversed down that track,having said that mate , you did a good job of getting it down there …you guys have done a great job on the van.. enjoy your travels, ps .. the rocker arms on the suspension are not meant to be super tight , the arm needs to pivot , that’s why a castle nut and split pin is used …

[@williamdavis9253]

Great parking Myrtle at Wauraltee beach Jack. 👍👌 We love this new channel. 😊❤ Have the same style mirrors on our ute. They make reversing so much better 😊A stone guard under the water tank will help prevent damage and also support it.

[@ironnatz6791]

I like these side channel vlogs, I alway find it interesting to see the day to day ordinary real life travels. Thanks guys, keep them up.

[@schoey4x4]

I usually check all suspension bolts and nuts after about 1000km or so of travel after fitting suspension. You will find that as the suspension beds in things will loosen up and require tightening. You also did dirt roads and corrugations which tend to loosen suspension bolts and nuts as well. After I did the PDR in my four wheel drive I had to check and tighten all the suspension bolts and nuts and found a fair few that had loosened off, especially sway bars and shocks.

[@chrisstewart1863]

You guys are soooo cool. Love this channel 💕

[@Chuckles1418]

Well done Jack on spotting the loose pivot bolt - you really have touched every bolt and know what looks right or not. Love it

[@Withoutatrace_travels]

We are loving these raw vlogs!! Seeing you both be yourselves has made us love you so much more and has made us realise how similar we are 😂 can not wait for more!!! Also, seeing the behind the scenes of caravan life is so informative! We’re currently looking at buying one and you’re making us think and discuss things we haven’t thought about so thankyou for that!

[@4onthemove673]

Jack, you can call yourself master of caravan parking. What a spot on the York you scored! Nice one. You guys going to waraultee beach (probs wrong spelling).

[@samk7847]

I have been following you guys (and watching) for a few years now. If I see you on your travels I will definitely come and so hello. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing your travels.

[@davidfox4799]

What bonus having the new vlog loving the content and we get to see more of you guys.Happy day 👍👌

[@autumn-dusk]

That was a fun video. I'm happy you guys made this second channel. I love watching these relaxed/informal vlogs.

[@megkav2921]

I am loving this channel so much! We are seeing a different side of you both and it is a lot of fun. As a subscriber, it really is thrilling to see, irl, a creator you follow. I drove past Kendall and Glen last year and it totally made my day/week/month. I hope i see you guys out there one day...

[@SharonSalmon-kf6lt]

I would definitely come and say hello, please stay on SA so I can spot you? But be careful, I am a hugger 😅

[@gavindereus3643]

Jack, I was on submarines and I wore the same set of overalls for 6.5 weeks and didn't have a shower for the same time 😮

[@GO-SEE-OZ]

Love your work guys. You have us in the palm of your hands 👌

[@rafsh1846]

That nut have to be loose to let the two axels move up and down when you driving on none flat road but that pin have to be there to kkeep the nut in place and always check the pin not getting rusty or fall off.

[@Lainiefj]

Loving this channel. Different content and kinda addictive. I'm a bit over seeing everyone do the Gibb, you can only watch Tunnel Creek etc so many times. Ningaloo over it. yeah I know you can watch the sunset and go fishing and now we're coming into the warmer months Lucky Bay again and again and again. Like that you're doing something different and just love Myrtle

[@TristanMaiolo]

Port Augusta - classiest place in Australia 😂😝 oh and Jack you can't possibly look like a weirdo in Port Augusta! Also coffee is a vasodilator which means your blood vessels open up. Could be a cause of your red neck as vasodilation can cause redness and warm areas on the skin.

[@clarrievivian6934]

Great vlog guys, Jack, just a cautionary note, please wear clear safety glasses when doing any work under the caravan or car, it is so easy for a small piece of crap to fall into your eye (s), had it happen a few years ago - not a pleasant experience, I needed to get it removed by the eye specialist at Q.E.H. hate to see the same thing happen to you or Megan. Safe travels, you should enjoy the Yorks, plenty of good fishing spots.

Really enjoying this channel seeing you so raw and real as much as 💩 in the kitchen 🤣 hope you’re feeling better Jack 🥰 If you guys are coming to Adelaide I’d love to say hi 👋 😀

[@LookMotorsports]

You don't want to over tighten them cause the rocker arm needs to be able to rock without to much restriction

[@JayJohnson-zm4ku]

Hi guys. Top spot . We also stayed at that exact spot in our 21ft van . You made it look easy getting in. We had to unhitch and reposition our van and it took nearly an hour of mucking around. 😮

[@Amanda-uc5jq]

I love these blogs, lots of these and a few good travel videos and I’ll be a happy camper 😂 I love the sunnies Megan I think they look fab on you.

[@SteveB65_]

We're starting our Australia tour this year next week in Broom and will be exploring Western Australia over the next 4 weeks up to Perth. It's a shame that you two aren't in that area. Regardless, we're looking forward to it and hope you have a good time with Myrtle. Best wishes from Germany - keep up the good work!

[@danielschiller6785]

Sure you've fixed it, but the water tank could have been jacked up with a block of wood in between, held in place and then put the mounts in place. Good work guys, love watching you guys! Cheers

Hi guys.Just wondering why you didn’t put a protective shield around your water tank,like thin metal or checker plate. It would help with strength and stop stone damage,especially when you want to do gravel roads. Enjoy watching your travels 😊

[@pwpaulwest]

That is a pin/axle, not a bolt. It is not supposed to be tight. The suspension needs to move. That is why it has a crown nut and a pin. Just nip it up and put the split pin in to stop the nut coming off. If it is too tight you will wear the joint out.

Loving the Vlogs, can't remember when, but recently you mentioned that you had to get used to having Myrtle on the back, and in the Troopy you didn't think twice about heading down a track to a campsite, I get the feeling that you guys are happy with the compromise of a larger space to live out of. I think I have the solution so there is no compromise!!!!!!! Why not have a Troopy towing Myrtle in the future ! 😜

That nut shouldn't have loosened off, especially with a split pin. I'd encourage you to not re-use split pins either, but to get you out of trouble it's ok.
