Is this South Australia’s BEST ROAD TRIP?

[@krh007]

As mentioned below this is so enjoyble to watch because it is a classic retro caravan that they rebuilt themselves and not some modern or brand new $150k - $250k bling bling very heavy offroad caravan pulled by $150k landcruiser or RAM etc which is way out most viewers reach unless they go heavily into debt. It just shows you the average garden variety couple can get around in comfort without all the modern expensive toys that are way out of their reach unless they won Lotto

[@viljamonson1427]

This KZbin video was the most enjoyable one I've ever watched and believe me I have watched a lot of them. Totally love you two Thank you for sharing ❤❤

[@itsJackandMegan]

That is so kind of you to say, thank you 🥹 we really tried our best to share how beautiful the scenery was so that is lovely to hear 🙏🏼🤍

Megan's face was delightful at the end - what a stunning spot

[@pwpaulwest]

I caught myself smiling at the end. Lovely video and great footage, thanks.

[@georgewinters3191]

We spent 10 days there in August 2024, such a beautiful place. We used Minlaton as our base at their great caravan park and just drove all,over the Penisula. The national park is stunning , we saw an emu with 12 chicks down there. Great place

[@reeltomeal]

[@PeteWilsonAHCPhotography]

Found you Guys on YT this week. Just finished watching this ep of the Innis National Park which I visited with my 84 year old Dad in March 2024. Such a grand vista of views. Having seen what you have done with Myrtle I think I am now regretting selling my 1973 Viscount caravan @ 10 years ago. Just look what I could have done with it! Great Ep, and yes I have Subscribed because I have my own YT channel too.

[@NanChapman]

South Australia.... How good!!!!😊❤

[@itsJackandMegan]

Such an underrated state! 🙌🏼

[@KellyLovesCamping]

One better than your airfryer. Multicooker!! I purchased my a few months back and literally use it for everything. It’s an airfryer, pressure cooker, slow cooker and oven in 1. Well worth the $300 it cost me. I bought the Phillips 8 litre 20 in One. You can’t go wrong!

[@stephenhutton1805]

Great video guys. been following you for ages and they just keep getting better and better. Love the fact that you pin point the locations your visiting. Travel safe

Love watching your main channel and then the more casual what really happened channel 😅

[@frankclisby3333]

Hi Guys, if you get into sticky spots you can usually get out by unhooking the car and tying a shovel under you jockey wheel, so it works like a sled, the just tow the van backwards until you are out in the open. Easy, keep smiling. and having fun.

[@louiskudlak2256]

Beautiful video, tiny house was so cool ❤

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks guys!!! Had such a good time!

[@stephanburgess654]

Hi guys. Just loving your videos. Like most of us in my age bracket, the aim was always to become a grey nomad. Unfortunately health issues killed my dreams. Videos like yours bring my dreams like I’m going along. I would never take on the challenge of refurbishing a caravan, but love what you have done with Myrtle. You both are just so down to earth and enjoying life. Good on you both and thank you for your videos. P.S. I’m a New South Welshman living in SA. It’s a great to live and visit.

[@markellis9355]

Great episode. With the caravan door, it's never going to stay shut while you're travelling the roads you intend to using that style of lock. For a bit of security to stop the door swinging open while you're moving get a couple of the bungee loops like are used on ute tonneau covers, attach the loops to the van and the hooks to the door. It'll stop the door getting ripped of.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks for the tips!! A lock is on the list when hit the next major town!!

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Lovely Ep guys, That FTE sounds awesome, great steel in them old vans. we love the Yorke

Now that would be a project and a half haha

[@leeambrose9449]

We do have some great places here in SA as do most states in this great country. We have just come back from Streaky Bay in our 2021 Viscount. Also we travel with our pet Blue Tounge lizzard. They are one of the easiest pets to travel with. Loving your chanel. Cheers.

I was going to ask half way through the video, were you heading to Tassie. Then I saw you transported! Haha I've been watching every episode since you were down in Tasmania last. I came across your videos while looking to travel somewhere in my backyard. I save your videos to watch until I can sit and relax, uninterrupted. You have become a comfort watch. Love your content! From a born and bred Tasmanian (Hobart).

No worries guys! Thanks for watching🙏😃

[@TrevorTurner-l6f]

Hi Guys, Today I passed an older restored caravan. It looked lovely just like your Myrtle. It was called Bessie! Have you thought of writing Myrtle on your van? Thought it was cute. Love your work.🥰

[@actravel1952]

Another great video look forward to seeing them every week Maybe you should cover your tanks with some galvanised sheets of steel or checker plate as the plastic ones will get holes from stones flying up this will even happen on sealed roads protect the tank fittings as these are notorious for breaking off

[@Kristina_Australia]

Megan and Jack, Thank You for the last couple of episodes which I've just binge watched as I've been away on a holiday up the centre of Australia ❤❤. You have provided some fantastic ideas for another trip away 👏👏. Have loads of fun guys.

[@sebastianmessina31]

Love your van - Cool. Bit of advice from a caravaner fit a reversing camera, makes life easier and if you don’t have a set buy a pair of hand held UHFs for parking the van. We set our UHFs on channel 18 not 40 (no highway channel interaction) Enjoy.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Still trying to find a cheap enough camera! I think it will be a game changer hey!

[@Campingdownunder]

You guys are so great on camera and the video's keep improving. I really notice all the little details megan adds into the edits. Fantastic job especially since you edit on the road on a little laptop. You really are the best travel channel in Australia & jack keep giving the haters crap 😂😂😂

[@stephensmith5317]

Camping on the beach at wauraltee is free camping. 100 metres from where you parked. Love this place. Take your lock off van door and just clean it add a bit of oil. Maybe pull it apart. Should work good as new. Not much goes wrong with them. Or just tap it gently with screwdriver usually works. Unless you have the lock button on. Cheers guys enjoy heaven. Xx

[@thosebikepackers]

Wow! SA was really showing off for you guys. Thanks for sharing.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thank you for watching 🙏

[@andrewr171]

Truly brilliant vlog!!!! So cool to have Myrtle for the rainy day!! Could you mount the entry door so it swings the other way. The air would then tend to keep it closed? How about putting up a high mount rear view camera? I pick a spot that I can drive straight out of!!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful travels!!!!!!!

[@davidstephens1092]

Hi Guys, while the door keeper got you out of trouble, don't leave it there because it can be used to lock you in your van while your vehicle is raided or stolen.

[@65cj55]

It ain't that strong, and wouldn't take much to kick it open..

[@itsJackandMegan]

It’s held on by 2 screws I could flick it open very easily. As said below. Thanks for your concerns though.

[@Lainiefj]

Well that's it, I'm now in nagging mode to the other half that we have to do the drive East and head to the Yorke Peninsula. Great video and hope date night was as beautiful as you guys!!

[@eddiepaul7107]

[@dvast87]

I've taken my 24ft triple bunk road caravan down some rutted tracks and onto a beach, passing all the glammed up off road caravans all watching in disbelief. Nobody really needs all that independent trailing arm suspension setup for 90% of the "off roading" people do with those caravans. It is way overkill. Well done on giving it a crack.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Love it mate!!

[@Aligator1959-c7i]

I’ll grab the first spot I see since I like walking and hiking and the exercise is good! I wouldn’t rush off, I’d have to hang at Dolphin Bay a few days, WOW! Also, you both should have your own travel show on one of the networks, your content is excellent and well put together and you both look good together and work well together. 🤠

[@vanlifeshots]

I have been here 3 times and had no idea there was a pink lake IN the peninsula. Granted I always go in summer, maybe the pink lakes are not as pink then...? I also think you got the best view of Flaherty Beach (looked Whitsunday-esk) In summer it's still super clear but I didn't get as many pools of water like you did. Amazing Vlog - Loved it!

[@itsJackandMegan]

Yeah we had another comment saying it wasn’t as pink as when they went so must be the summer weather changes it up!

[@Amanda-uc5jq]

Loved this video, I’m also guilty of driving straight past all of this twice now. Guess I’ll have to plan a visit next time I’m on the mainland because it looks stunning 🤩 I love these blog type posts with you two just yapping away about whatever you like. 😁 As always thanks for taking us along and Myrtle looks so good against the beach background, it’s like she belongs there. 😂

[@keepingupwiththejoneses06]

I was born in WA, but the beaches in SA are gorgeous. Have been lucky enough to live in both. 😊

[@neilarmitage6632]

Your travels are all offroad. And for this reason you should look at an offroad trailer like the Conquer or Ecco or an offroad caravan. Both are available in good used versions. Mertyle is purely a tar road weekend caravan. It's structure is not for offroad in any format. I guess it's a wooden frame van.

[@itsJackandMegan]

[@gillianfahey6464]

One of our first group trips with our caravan on a remote corrugated dirt road we heard someone saying over the 4WD channel that they were picking up random items on the middle of the track ..and yes when we got to our next stop we found that the caravan door had rattled open.. After lots of laughter (from the rest of the group ..just embarrassment from us) we never forget now to lock the door every time and also invested in a extra strong latch as well and no we didn’t lose anything including our outside camping mat and a pair of sandals 😂😂

Don't those old door locks have a feature where you turn the inside handle all the way to the end and it remains open? so if you turn it back to the middle it works like normal with the key.
