Tory, you remind me of my sister (I'm 72 y/o now). She's was 13 years older than me and has gone to that great highway in the sky now. She was such a free spirit and travelled in her VW Bus going back to 1962. I joined your show because you are so down to earth and still a free spirit.
Thats the sink I'd been trying to find for so long for my van. Thank you for supporting a small business and shouting her out and promoting the product, this is a huge improvement for me.
I don't think you overthink where you park. I do the same thing in my truck. You are trying to figure out what your gut is telling you. Love your videos!
I like how motivated you are under the circumstances you’re in with your health and the no build van. Some of this comments can be so nasty. Everyone has their own pace and life situation. I haven’t watched your videos in a while havent had the time and now i see the great progress you had made. I hope you accomplish your vision for the van build. Looking forward to it don’t lose that motivation.
Great to see a new upload , I hope you get fully better soon . Even though I'm sure we all love seeing a new video from you I'm sure everyone understands you and you're health will always come first . So if you do ever need time away yo recover you know we will be here when you get back . Have a a safe journey there and have an amazing time in Canada .
Until you get the build more completed, a thought is to use "museum putty" to put on the feet of items like the fridge and sink to keep them from sliding and bouncing so much as you drive around. It's really easy to remove when you are ready to build more, and you can always use it to hang temporary things on the wall, or anchor a small planter to the counter, and things like that. Just an idea if those things sliding around become a problem.
You do a fine job with your videos. Entertaining and educational! My daughter is considering van life. I shared a couple videos of yours with her and she'd already seen them! I'm glad she's watching your videos. Good insights about how tough it is at times and how to build a comfy van. I've noticed at times you refer to people who may give you less than positive comments. Please pay them no mind. Keep following your own guidance, intuition and logic. You are doing great.
welcome to Canada , get well soon. The van looking good lots of work ahead of you, cute skirts and love the boots. i see a lot of potential . Becareful of the roads in winter they can be tricky
Tory so happy to see you excited. You did get a lot of cool stuff. I enjoy seeing how you solve problems and find awesome solutions. Sorry you were sick though. Enjoy your trip. I’ll be following on here.
Welcome to Canada! Stay safe, although we’re generally a safe country remember there are good and bad areas in every locale, don’t make any assumptions. Enjoy your trip!
Welcome to Canada Tory! 🇨🇦 Happy to hear you’re feeling all too well now. I hope you brought a cardigan. Enjoy Tay and I hope you remember your time in Toronto like a love story. Continue living your wildest dreams!!!
One tip for the sink, Tory. To see the level when it fills up, you can use something like a dipstick the way we check the oil level at an engine. Stick it through the drain holes and at the point it gets wet, it the level of the water. Moreover, you can count how much clean water you fill it with. Wishing you a great new start! Greetings from Greece!
You could make suggestion to sink manufacturer, and they'd appreciate it from a user. Suggest to them to put the drain in a corner, so would make it easy to tip sink that direction and have it drain quite well.
Yay! A new Tory video! And she's coming to Canada! (some great USD to CDN value) Usually, there can be some very cheap off-season hotels in Niagara Falls (for showering or fleshing up). Oh, and the GO public transit trains/bus system has a use all day weekend/holiday pass for $10. (can go from Niagara Falls to Toronto and back for $10 if on the same day) Dollarma is a gem of a dollar store. And Taylor Swift has 3 more of 6 sold out shows still, coming up this weekend.
I have been in Canada for about 3 days now and I have forgotten about the conversion rate SO many times & just thought Canada was crazy expensive haha I am learning 😅 It’s my first time out of the US!
Hi, Tori. Hope all is well. Our feelings and emotions are very important and shall not be ignored as they are our alert system letting us know that something is going on and needs our attention. However, no one can define us unless if we allow them. We should define ourselves, and our priorities should be our safety and the safely of our loved ones, our health and the health of our loved ones, and our well-being & happiness and the well-being & happiness of our loved ones. Use your commonsense, knowledge, experiences, and critical thinking to achieve your goals, learn from your challenges, and enjoy every second of your journey and accomplishment. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay happy! Everything else is manageable! Pops
Rubber mesh shelf liner stops things slipping around. Or, you buy a roll of 2" wide adhesive backed Velcro. Coupla big patches of that, and NOTHING moves without your permission.
I hope for the absolute best for you to get better ASAP and keep getting better and stronger every day. I also had pneumonia back in March. Also had blood clots in both of my lungs at the same time. You are so pretty and beautiful by the way. I would love to be able to get the opportunity and the chance to be able to meet you someday and get your autograph and possibly your merchandise if you ever decide to come out with merchandise
Starlink would be a good option for internet. And if you use a camping mat or yoga mat under the mattress it helps. Gyms or even truck stops for showers. Even rest stops for brushing your teeth and such. You actually have more space than most truckers
You are doing an amazing jobs. At the moment I’ve moved for a job and am living out of a 2020 escape. My goal for this year is to buy a pro master. And doing a no build for now. So what you’re doing is a lot of what I’ve done on a smaller build in the escape and things I will do in the van. Love love the my sink. Will have to get one. Thank you for sharing how you’re doing and what you are doing.
Congrats on this next adventure. I put in my blue Promaster two Walmart blue room darkening curtains on an expansion rod and then put the rod into the back part of the overhead storage above the seats. No cutting needed. Curtains hang out of the storage to just above the van floor. I keep extra blankets in that storage area on top of the curtains so the curtains have never fallen. With 2 panels you can walk through the center. They overlap. I have double stick velcro on the drivers wall side. The passenger side is tucked under the black gasket behind the passenger seat. The gasket lifts enough to hold the curtain thus no inside light escaping from the sides. Good luck. Be safe. Prayers your health gets to 100%
Welcome to Canada. You're going to need long underwea eh, ha. Make sure you buy your stuff in the USA because it's more expensive here in Canada. Your van is really cool. The technology is incredible.
So glad you are back Tory ❤ I have chronic back issues from sleeping on a hard surface for years 😮 Take care of your body because it makes a difference when you hit your 50’s and 60’s One solution I found for my ailing back has been an air mattress 🎉😊 Something to consider Be well and especially enjoy your life safely ❤❤❤
Okay, you won me over with this one. You showed that you are more than an industry marketing model, and that you are part of the community. Please be safe with your recovery and recognize if you are sliding back. It would be very easy to push yourself and create more long term health issues. I wish you the best with your Canadian trip.
17:58 Omg the reputation body suit looks amazing cant believe you made its giving king of my hearts body suite from reputation tour. I am so excited for you to attend the eras tour. Get well soon ❤
That’s exactly what it is based off on! King of my Heart is one of my favorite songs! Plus I made the LWYMMD jacket! I am so glad someone recognized it! I was hoping it wasn’t too unknown 😅
you already traveling and found things slide on the smooth floor i have factory matt 2 suggestions 1 get some of the plastic mesh like shelf liner to put under some of your things helps a lot i use the small 4x4 squares to hold things on dash and a piece of the 12 inch to keep a container between seats with bungy between seats . 2nd haven got yet my van had bulkhead which i didn't want so i can go in back without getting out . but i want curtain . wal mart and other stores have expandable shower rods about 1 inch in diameter in 2 sizes the longer one is 9.99 and any material you can put rings on plain or fancy. for full light might have to add trim to hide the slight light out of the rod and rings hope your having fun in Canada. as for sink $195 not outrageous for what it gives and you could make a counter high base to mount it in and still lift it out for outdoor use
So great to see you back in the van and on the road. And with heat this time. Have fun and looking forward to the next Vlog on this adventure. Have a fabulous day Tory 😃
I have been sleeping in my simply build 7x14 cargo trailer with a chest frig like that in my driveway for several weeks. Frig strategy is important. I am finding that putting everything in a over sized plastic bag, like the bag in cereal boxes work well to limit the mess and make for quick retrieving of food. I put my kitchen cooking stuff on a Wal-Mart 3-foot wide by 18-inch deep by 36 inch tall shelving unit. My gas burner on top, microwave and toaster oven on the second shelf; then a narrow shelf for plats and silverware, then the cooler and water bottles on the floor level. Works great. The other part of the shelving unit I use for a table which one can adjust the height. The NuWave induction burner goes into one of several storage ice chest cooler for pans and food. A 32- inch wide by 70 inches long bed matrices platform made from two 2x3's and 5/16" plywood. Then support the bed platform on wood storage boxes about 17 inches high. The 2x3 plywood platform folds up next to the side wall so a small motorcycle will fit in there. Use about 1-inch webbing in several places to "goat rope" the matrices to the bed platform. A upper aft side to side loft works to store bedding during the day. A spare piece of plywood on the bed makes for project table space during the day. All easy stuff to do. I always arrive late and leave early at parking places. Occasionally I get the knock from the security guard on the window I ask, "Are you the guy delivering the pizza I ordered." They generally know of places near by to park.
if you google "chair bed" there's some pretty cool options for some multipurpose furniture, that mattress seems a little thin, a least your on the road again
I'm excited for you. Ya, it's not done but the KEY THING, you are at a functional sustainable state. So get an awesome memory foam bed, good sleep is paramount and a foundation for getting back to good health. Make sure you have a good D3 and Magnesium combo. This makes a big difference. I wish you the best and happy adventures.
Hi Tory! Been missing your content -- glad you're feeling better! I was gonna say, you should find an insulated curtain to block off the cab area. Also, you might be far more comfortable putting that matress up atop 3 large storage totes/bins with a 1/2" plywood sheet atop them -- you can then stack the storage bins when not in use or use one as a seat, and the plywood can just sit along the side on end. Plus a good quality air-fryer might be preferable to a microwave? Enjoy Canada while you're here and do stay safe/keep well! Cheers!...from North Vancouver
Canadian here - you are coming at SOOOOO the wrong time of year. Be very cautious on the roads, and the prairies can get very cold - like -35 F. But I am assuming you are heading to Vancouver for the final Eras show, so drive safe!
I've had the CFX75 and it's been amazing. Love that I can power it with 12v too, which helps me conserve battery. I keep literally all the food and drinks for myself and my girlfriend in there and it fits everything we need. You're gunna love it!
@@ToryDelury Having a freezer is a gamechanger. You'll love it! Coming back to the van on a hot day and grabbing a super cold ice cream NEVER gets old and always feels like an impossible life hack!
Might want to raise the fridge off heated floor. Also vitamin c, zinc, elderberry syrup and olive leaf for immune boosting. Also echinacea and goldenseal, sun exposure, hydration, electrolytes ( use Celtic salt instead of gatorade). Minimize sugar, use local raw organic honey and probiotics.
lights. If you later put on some counters on one side, or on both sides of van, I've noticed those who put their lights directly on each side above their counters where they often cook or prepare meals, it works better for them than those who put lights along top centerline in a van. They have the light swhere they need it most. Also they aren't looking down the center line of van and having lights directly in their eyes. Of course some have the lights under upper wall cupboards, which also works great for doing anything on the counter tops. The microwave is a good idea. Also those induction cookers are great too. I use a Tramontina, older 1300w what I use. Bought it for just $25 used off ebay. Using highest setting I've had it boil a cup of water in 4 minutes, which is only 22-25 watts used for each minute. ((1300÷60)x4)=85 to 90 watts used.
Admire you for getting out in your van while your still suffering some illness. 🙏 I've put off my van life venture while converting mine as I've also been suffering the same lately 🤒 Keep yourself warm 🔥 It's lovely to see an update ☺️❤
I haven’t been able to watch your videos all summer or fall. You got a lot done in the van while at your parent’s! I hope it’s enough to keep you safe and happy on your trips! Drive safe and have fun! My family in the Adirondacks of NY got a FOOT of snow on thanksgiving so please be ready for possible storms & bad road conditions in Canada. I THINK you said you grew up in Jersey so you should, at least, know how to drive on all kinds of road conditions. Regardless, have a great trip, take good care of yourself- get all better-and be safe!
dude the mighty sink is awesome! also just took advantage of Jackery black friday for my car camper set up. thanks for the vids good luck on trip and feel better!
Sink looks great, but in my life one thing I can not live without is hot water, presuming your sink is cold water only? Hoping you make a speedy recovery. Love what you have achieved so far, keep up the good work.
I don't know if you plan to go only to BC, but if you plan to cross the Rockies to any other provinces this time of year AND you get sick easily (I do too and am still coughing lol) you will need VERY WARM CLOTHES. I'm talking a wool hat, scarf, Thinsulate gloves, thermal underwear or tights, real winter boots and a real winter coat. It's COLD up here 🇨🇦
That sink is cool 😎 it’s so simple but functional. Your no build build looks more homey this time.😊 Hope you are having a fun road trip. Looking forward to seeing those travel videos. You are filming your adventures right? 🤞
Hope you’re feeling much better by now! I always worried about your health when you were in the van before. Are you worried about breathing all those fibers from that insulation blowing around? Can’t be good for your lungs. Always love your videos and I always learn a lot from you, so thank you Tory! Healthy and joyful blessings🌷
You can buy a very comfortable cot, that includes a mattress and gets you off the ground for like 50 bux tops.. i used one in my van before i got it built out.. i slept great in it
Just bought my first van. Same as yours. Going to fix it up over the winter. If you need a place to park in Ontario I have a 100 acre forest on the shores of lake Huron not far from the U.S. border. A safe a beautiful paradise. Quessing by the outfit you were at one of the T.S. concerts. Hope you had a blast. Cheers.
Going out on an adventure is always a great feeling wether it be in a van or not. Good luck and have fun! Im curious to see how your border crossing goes.
Hope you had a great time in Toronto at the swift concert, I live in Saskatchewan and seen she “ Took over Toronto!” Last weekend on the evening news! I’d love to see you come this way, but wow we just received our first foot of snow🥶! Enjoy our beautiful country!
So sorry to hear you are not feeling good. pneumonia is no joke. you are definitely a motivated person. Most people would say the heck with it. How do you manage to look so good with pneumonia. Stay safe and good travels.
Glad to see you are doing better. I started out in a Van during Covid so I would like to offer to help you with suggestions that may save you as much money as possible. As for your things sitting on the floor, nobody knows more than I do about how depressing that is. Half of my stuff is still on the floor. Personally when it comes to power, I don't agree with Jackery being a great buy. Personally I would much rather have gone with what I have which are the Chins 100ah Deep Cycle Lifepo 4 batteries. Mostly because Jackery and all the prebuilt power stations just don't have enough power to run much for long. I have been able to get away with running most of my things with only 2 of those batteries. Now, for the problem that actually got me to watch your channel. The first video I saw was your dealing with 117 degree heat in Vegas. The cheapest and best way to cool your van is a Swamp cooler, just a bigger version than what you had bought. You can order a 3000 cfm Youget Tech evaporative cooler on Amazon for less than $300 that would have kept you cool even with no insulation or walls. The trick with a swamp cooler is you have to crack your windows but in your case you will have to leave your door windows open so it doesn't get too humid inside. I would place it at an angle at your back doors so you can still get in and out. This cooler has an 8 gallon water tank you can fill from the front or if you have a water hookup you can attach a hose to the back. On low this pulls about 120 to 160 watts. The only drawback is when it is humid outside it doesn't feel cool. Also the size is about as big as your sink and 3 times as tall. It has wheels and is very light when empty. When you are in places that are dry it will help you greatly and there is a rubber plug on the bottom where you can empty the water while moving. All you need is 2 of those 5 gallon water jugs to get through the heat per day most of the time. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about the size problem. It all depends on whether you want to go through the same as you did or not. I wish I could say Air-conditioner would be better but your lowest wattage running is a window unit and it draws 500 watts. I'm in Phoenix Arizona where it is average of 115 degrees most of the summer. This summer broke all the records for being the hottest summer ever and my Youget Tech cooler got me through even though my current trailer is just a shell. I have no insulation and no walls. This wasn't my plan to move into it like this. I wanted to do a restore build on it when i lost my job. That was in January of 2024 and since I had no choice but to move out to the desert it has made it impossible to find work. I just started working last week at a Day Labor place because they pay daily and with my truck I can't make it to a paycheck without having some money saved up first. Unlike you I had to go through this last summer with no Refrigerator or freezer. If you are curious you can see my video for 11 steps for homeless to get started. You can see what I had to deal with and it will make you feel better about your experience. I have no delusions about keeping this trailer. Once I get caught up on all I need to I will be saving to replace the trailer. The bad part is being a clean organized person having to live like this was very depressing. Anyway, I'm going to watch some more of your videos. I hope you check my video out, I had to start from scratch because someone stole my main account so don't mind that there are only 4 videos. Getting Google to fix it will be murder because there is no way to get support with either a phone or email.
Nice upgrades, New Chanel name Gogo Gadget Tory Delury sounds fitting, lol. Once again on the road you can see it on your face Tory you have been itching to start road living road tripping all over again. And where happy to come along with on your journey across Canada Ay!. Thanks for Sharing and be safe on the road.
Great!!! Progress!! 😊 Sorry to hear about the pneumonia. Not good. I could tell it took a little out of you. Here's to your future health. To steal a phrase "I as happy as a tornado in a trailer park" the look you had getting on the road again. Happy trails!
Of all the beautiful girls not needing to lose weight I’m hoping pneumonia hasn’t left you too weak It’s very exhausting Love the upgrades Take good care of yourself Tory A lot of people are needing you well and happy
Best of travels and better health =;^) Hint from a microwave fiend = get Press-n-Seal for cooking in the microwave. It can be reused several times and it makes steam cooking fresh veggies & meats super simple. - Wrap corn-on-the cob in it, microwave for 3 to 10 minutes (depending on how soft you like it) for a yummy treat. - Put soup (or left-overs) in a heavy duty "soup lug" with PnS and it will heat quickly without splattering.
I am currently struggling with my physical and mental health and struggling with my van build. This video gave me hope! I really hope you enjoy getting to explore Canada. But I will tell say you picked a brave time to come. It's about to get cold here. 😂
i didn't need to wait for you to show the reputation outfit for me to know, the second you said Canada trip I KNEWWWW, and as jealous as I am I absolutely love that for you💖💖
Get your self a little diesel heater/ get the cheaper battery you can afford the cheaper solar panels and a foam mattres or just any mattres. And slowly build up your van. I build my own squaredrop trailer and ive slowly build it but at one point i just had a square box lol.
Hopefully you are all healed up, and having a great time enjoying your Swift experience! TO, what many people who have lived in Toronto call the place, like myself, has been virtually taken over by Swfties! Not fun for my friends living there, but great for the economy. 🙂 Have fun!
Awesome! Hope to see you back doing some touristy travel vids soon. Ngl, you got dethroned as the best road/van life channel in the past couple months lol but I believe you can reclaim your spot. Hope everything is well, Tory! You should try some stretches for your back, they saved my life, personally. Also, when did you switch to e-scooty from your ebike?! I LOVE my escooter haha
I’m glad you’re doing better. With pneumonia as you know, you have to be careful. I pray your trip to Canada goes smoothly and you have fun. As you know, we are just entering winter and Canada gets hit first with the nasty cold. You better buckle up with all kinds of heating gear, heavy duty blankets and SUB ZERO sleeping bags! As they say layers, layers and more layers. Biggest thing is to always wear a heavy duty winter cap when it’s below 40 as that will prevent you from getting sick a lot. Keep hands clean at all times. Distancing from people helps too as much as possible. And taking some immune boosting food and vitamins may help. I’m a big fan of those alka seltzer type immune boosters like Airborne. Here’s a web blurb about airborne though and don’t overdue the dosing. Here it is copied from the web, also do your own due diligence on it -> “However, Airborne and Emergen-C tablets each contain 1000 milligrams. Two tablets deliver a 2000 milligram mega-dose - the very top of the tolerable daily limit for most healthy adults. And dosage directions typically suggest 1 tablet every three to four hours, up to three tablets a day..” Wish you the best!
Tory, you remind me of my sister (I'm 72 y/o now). She's was 13 years older than me and has gone to that great highway in the sky now. She was such a free spirit and travelled in her VW Bus going back to 1962. I joined your show because you are so down to earth and still a free spirit.
Thats the sink I'd been trying to find for so long for my van. Thank you for supporting a small business and shouting her out and promoting the product, this is a huge improvement for me.

Van is looking nice, Tory! Wishing you a speedy recovery from the health complications.
Wishing you a speedy recovery and a return to full health.
Great to see a new upload , I hope you get fully better soon . Even though I'm sure we all love seeing a new video from you I'm sure everyone understands you and you're health will always come first . So if you do ever need time away yo recover you know we will be here when you get back . Have a a safe journey there and have an amazing time in Canada .
Until you get the build more completed, a thought is to use "museum putty" to put on the feet of items like the fridge and sink to keep them from sliding and bouncing so much as you drive around. It's really easy to remove when you are ready to build more, and you can always use it to hang temporary things on the wall, or anchor a small planter to the counter, and things like that. Just an idea if those things sliding around become a problem.
I love how you are tackling each issue head on. I'm trying to do this too.

Yay! A new Tory video! And she's coming to Canada! (some great USD to CDN value) Usually, there can be some very cheap off-season hotels in Niagara Falls (for showering or fleshing up). Oh, and the GO public transit trains/bus system has a use all day weekend/holiday pass for $10.

Good to hear your doing better . Take care .
And yes we all overthink
No! You are doing great! Don’t feel any pressure from your viewers!
GL, tc, and take your time to recover and build the dream van🎉😊
Yay!! 🙌 I'm stoked to see you back in your van! I hope you feel better soon! 🌞
Sorry to hear you get ill easily. I hope you have a pleasant trip to Canada and are able to eat well and stay healthy.
Rubber mesh shelf liner stops things slipping around. Or, you buy a roll of 2" wide adhesive backed Velcro. Coupla big patches of that, and NOTHING moves without your permission.
You got this Tory! Get well soon! Proud of you for pushing on given all the chaos.
Thank you so much! 🙏
have a wonderful trip and keep healthy and good luck on your guys trip stay awesome
I hope you feel better soon! Your health and safety come first. We can wait.
The Mighty Sink find is awesome! That's one my list of things for my build now.
Right! I am SO happy with it! It makes my life so much easier ☺️
I hope for the absolute best for you to get better ASAP and keep getting better and stronger every day. I also had pneumonia back in March. Also had blood clots in both of my lungs at the same time. You are so pretty and beautiful by the way. I would love to be able to get the opportunity and the chance to be able to meet you someday and get your autograph and possibly your merchandise if you ever decide to come out with merchandise
You're Incredibly beautiful, that smile makes me want too keep watching you. You're so cute, kind, caring and smart 😊
This video is awesome ! Just getting ready and just going ! That's great ! Happy you are feeling better !
Thank you!! 🙏 ☺️
The shelf liner idea seems brilliant! Going to steal it!
LOVE this look on you. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Congrats on the new start. And here's hoping the sick days are behind you
Starlink would be a good option for internet. And if you use a camping mat or yoga mat under the mattress it helps. Gyms or even truck stops for showers. Even rest stops for brushing your teeth and such. You actually have more space than most truckers
You are doing an amazing jobs.
At the moment I’ve moved for a job and am living out of a 2020 escape. My goal for this year is to buy a pro master. And doing a no build for now. So what you’re doing is a lot of what I’ve done on a smaller build in the escape and things I will do in the van.
Love love the my sink. Will have to get one.
Thank you for sharing how you’re doing and what you are doing.
Safe trip and enjoy Vanning again, great job.
Congrats on this next adventure. I put in my blue Promaster two Walmart blue room darkening curtains on an expansion rod and then put the rod into the back part of the overhead storage above the seats. No cutting needed. Curtains hang out of the storage to just above the van floor. I keep extra blankets in that storage area on top of the curtains so the curtains have never fallen. With 2 panels you can walk through the center. They overlap. I have double stick velcro on the drivers wall side. The passenger side is tucked under the black gasket behind the passenger seat. The gasket lifts enough to hold the curtain thus no inside light escaping from the sides. Good luck. Be safe. Prayers your health gets to 100%
I am so sorry you’ve been so sick. I will be praying for you
Welcome to Canada.
You're going to need long underwea eh, ha. Make sure you buy your stuff in the USA because it's more expensive here in Canada. Your van is really cool. The technology is incredible.
I have that fridge in my semi, you're going to love it.
So glad you are back Tory ❤
I have chronic back issues from sleeping on a hard surface for years 😮
Take care of your body because it makes a difference when you hit your 50’s and 60’s
One solution I found for my ailing back has been an air mattress 🎉😊
Something to consider
Be well and especially enjoy your life safely ❤❤❤
AWESOME! Excited to see your travels & vlogs again! 🇨🇦 Hope you feel better soon!
Thank you so much! I am excited to be traveling again :)
Okay, you won me over with this one. You showed that you are more than an industry marketing model, and that you are part of the community. Please be safe with your recovery and recognize if you are sliding back. It would be very easy to push yourself and create more long term health issues. I wish you the best with your Canadian trip.
17:58 Omg the reputation body suit looks amazing cant believe you made its giving king of my hearts body suite from reputation tour. I am so excited for you to attend the eras tour. Get well soon ❤
That’s exactly what it is based off on! King of my Heart is one of my favorite songs! Plus I made the LWYMMD jacket! I am so glad someone recognized it! I was hoping it wasn’t too unknown 😅
you already traveling and found things slide on the smooth floor i have factory matt
2 suggestions 1 get some of the plastic mesh like shelf liner to put under some of your things helps a lot i use the small 4x4 squares to hold things on dash and a piece of the 12 inch to keep a container between seats with bungy between seats . 2nd haven got yet my van had bulkhead which i didn't want so i can go in back without getting out . but i want curtain . wal mart and other stores have expandable shower rods about 1 inch in diameter
in 2 sizes the longer one is 9.99 and any material you can put rings on plain or fancy. for full light might have to add trim to hide the slight light out of the rod and rings hope your having fun in Canada. as for sink $195 not outrageous for what it gives and you could make a counter high base to mount it in and still lift it out for outdoor use
That sink is brilliant! You are absolutely right about the quality-of-life upgrades in vanlife 🌻🚐 Safe travels and greetings from Finland!
So much progress 🎉 Love the creativity
Thank you so much!😊
Wishing you the speediest of recoveries❤
That is a fantastic sink. I guess necessity is indeed the mother of all inventions.🙂
Get well and stay well!
So great to see you back in the van and on the road. And with heat this time. Have fun and looking forward to the next Vlog on this adventure. Have a fabulous day Tory 😃
I have been sleeping in my simply build 7x14 cargo trailer with a chest frig like that in my driveway for several weeks. Frig strategy is important. I am finding that putting everything in a over sized plastic bag, like the bag in cereal boxes work well to limit the mess and make for quick retrieving of food.
I put my kitchen cooking stuff on a Wal-Mart 3-foot wide by 18-inch deep by 36 inch tall shelving unit. My gas burner on top, microwave and toaster oven on the second shelf; then a narrow shelf for plats and silverware, then the cooler and water bottles on the floor level. Works great.
The other part of the shelving unit I use for a table which one can adjust the height.
The NuWave induction burner goes into one of several storage ice chest cooler for pans and food.
A 32- inch wide by 70 inches long bed matrices platform made from two 2x3's and 5/16" plywood. Then support the bed platform on wood storage boxes about 17 inches high.
The 2x3 plywood platform folds up next to the side wall so a small motorcycle will fit in there. Use about 1-inch webbing in several places to "goat rope" the matrices to the bed platform. A upper aft side to side loft works to store bedding during the day. A spare piece of plywood on the bed makes for project table space during the day. All easy stuff to do.
I always arrive late and leave early at parking places. Occasionally I get the knock from the security guard on the window I ask, "Are you the guy delivering the pizza I ordered." They generally know of places near by to park.
if you google "chair bed" there's some pretty cool options for some multipurpose furniture, that mattress seems a little thin, a least your on the road again
I'm excited for you. Ya, it's not done but the KEY THING, you are at a functional sustainable state. So get an awesome memory foam bed, good sleep is paramount and a foundation for getting back to good health. Make sure you have a good D3 and Magnesium combo. This makes a big difference. I wish you the best and happy adventures.
Hi Tory!
Been missing your content -- glad you're feeling better!
I was gonna say, you should find an insulated curtain to block off the cab area. Also, you might be far more comfortable putting that matress up atop 3 large storage totes/bins with a 1/2" plywood sheet atop them -- you can then stack the storage bins when not in use or use one as a seat, and the plywood can just sit along the side on end. Plus a good quality air-fryer might be preferable to a microwave? Enjoy Canada while you're here and do stay safe/keep well!
Cheers!...from North Vancouver
Wow. Prayers for continued health.
Thank you!
Love Your videos and Your thought process
Canadian here - you are coming at SOOOOO the wrong time of year.
Be very cautious on the roads, and the prairies can get very cold - like -35 F.
But I am assuming you are heading to Vancouver for the final Eras show, so drive safe!
I've had the CFX75 and it's been amazing. Love that I can power it with 12v too, which helps me conserve battery. I keep literally all the food and drinks for myself and my girlfriend in there and it fits everything we need. You're gunna love it!
I’m really psyched about it!! Especially having the freezer 🥳 Thanks!!
Oh I know! Having the dual-zone capability is a total game-changer. Love your videos btw, excited about your journey!
@@ToryDelury Having a freezer is a gamechanger. You'll love it! Coming back to the van on a hot day and grabbing a super cold ice cream NEVER gets old and always feels like an impossible life hack!
Might want to raise the fridge off heated floor. Also vitamin c, zinc, elderberry syrup and olive leaf for immune boosting. Also echinacea and goldenseal, sun exposure, hydration, electrolytes ( use Celtic salt instead of gatorade). Minimize sugar, use local raw organic honey and probiotics.
Yes, either raise it up or put a heat barrier between the Dometic and the floor!
lights. If you later put on some counters on one side, or on both sides of van, I've noticed those who put their lights directly on each side above their counters where they often cook or prepare meals, it works better for them than those who put lights along top centerline in a van. They have the light swhere they need it most. Also they aren't looking down the center line of van and having lights directly in their eyes. Of course some have the lights under upper wall cupboards, which also works great for doing anything on the counter tops. The microwave is a good idea. Also those induction cookers are great too. I use a Tramontina, older 1300w what I use. Bought it for just $25 used off ebay. Using highest setting I've had it boil a cup of water in 4 minutes, which is only 22-25 watts used for each minute. ((1300÷60)x4)=85 to 90 watts used.
Subscribed from the UK, looking forward to your van build progress..
I have that MW in my off grid Tinyhouse. Yay you.
So happy you are feeling better! I hope you are having a wonderful roadtrip! Tim Horton’s & Maple Syrup galore! 🇨🇦
They van is looking great
Admire you for getting out in your van while your still suffering some illness. 🙏
I've put off my van life venture while converting mine as I've also been suffering the same lately 🤒
Keep yourself warm 🔥
It's lovely to see an update ☺️❤
I haven’t been able to watch your videos all summer or fall. You got a lot done in the van while at your parent’s! I hope it’s enough to keep you safe and happy on your trips! Drive safe and have fun! My family in the Adirondacks of NY got a FOOT of snow on thanksgiving so please be ready for possible storms & bad road conditions in Canada. I THINK you said you grew up in Jersey so you should, at least, know how to drive on all kinds of road conditions. Regardless, have a great trip, take good care of yourself- get all better-and be safe!
dude the mighty sink is awesome! also just took advantage of Jackery black friday for my car camper set up. thanks for the vids good luck on trip and feel better!
Delury you are a star
I love how that dims
Sink looks great, but in my life one thing I can not live without is hot water, presuming your sink is cold water only? Hoping you make a speedy recovery. Love what you have achieved so far, keep up the good work.
I don't know if you plan to go only to BC, but if you plan to cross the Rockies to any other provinces this time of year AND you get sick easily (I do too and am still coughing lol) you will need VERY WARM CLOTHES. I'm talking a wool hat, scarf, Thinsulate gloves, thermal underwear or tights, real winter boots and a real winter coat. It's COLD up here 🇨🇦
Excellents conseils 👍
That sink is cool 😎 it’s so simple but functional. Your no build build looks more homey this time.😊 Hope you are having a fun road trip. Looking forward to seeing those travel videos. You are filming your adventures right? 🤞
Hope you’re feeling much better by now! I always worried about your health when you were in the van before. Are you worried about breathing all those fibers from that insulation blowing around? Can’t be good for your lungs.
Always love your videos and I always learn a lot from you, so thank you Tory!
Healthy and joyful blessings🌷
You can buy a very comfortable cot, that includes a mattress and gets you off the ground for like 50 bux tops.. i used one in my van before i got it built out.. i slept great in it
Just bought my first van. Same as yours. Going to fix it up over the winter. If you need a place to park in Ontario I have a 100 acre forest on the shores of lake Huron not far from the U.S. border. A safe a beautiful paradise. Quessing by the outfit you were at one of the T.S. concerts. Hope you had a blast. Cheers.
Going out on an adventure is always a great feeling wether it be in a van or not. Good luck and have fun! Im curious to see how your border crossing goes.
Hope you had a great time in Toronto at the swift concert, I live in Saskatchewan and seen she “ Took over Toronto!” Last weekend on the evening news! I’d love to see you come this way, but wow we just received our first foot of snow🥶! Enjoy our beautiful country!
Things looking up for you now ❤ van looking so much better 🎉
Thank you! Things are definitely looking up!! 📈🥳
@ToryDelury I've always wanted to build a livable van and go traveling... you out here living one of my dreams
So sorry to hear you are not feeling good. pneumonia is no joke. you are definitely a motivated person. Most people would say the heck with it. How do you manage to look so good with pneumonia. Stay safe and good travels.
Glad to see you are doing better. I started out in a Van during Covid so I would like to offer to help you with suggestions that may save you as much money as possible. As for your things sitting on the floor, nobody knows more than I do about how depressing that is. Half of my stuff is still on the floor. Personally when it comes to power, I don't agree with Jackery being a great buy. Personally I would much rather have gone with what I have which are the Chins 100ah Deep Cycle Lifepo 4 batteries. Mostly because Jackery and all the prebuilt power stations just don't have enough power to run much for long. I have been able to get away with running most of my things with only 2 of those batteries. Now, for the problem that actually got me to watch your channel. The first video I saw was your dealing with 117 degree heat in Vegas. The cheapest and best way to cool your van is a Swamp cooler, just a bigger version than what you had bought. You can order a 3000 cfm Youget Tech evaporative cooler on Amazon for less than $300 that would have kept you cool even with no insulation or walls. The trick with a swamp cooler is you have to crack your windows but in your case you will have to leave your door windows open so it doesn't get too humid inside. I would place it at an angle at your back doors so you can still get in and out. This cooler has an 8 gallon water tank you can fill from the front or if you have a water hookup you can attach a hose to the back. On low this pulls about 120 to 160 watts. The only drawback is when it is humid outside it doesn't feel cool. Also the size is about as big as your sink and 3 times as tall. It has wheels and is very light when empty. When you are in places that are dry it will help you greatly and there is a rubber plug on the bottom where you can empty the water while moving. All you need is 2 of those 5 gallon water jugs to get through the heat per day most of the time. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about the size problem. It all depends on whether you want to go through the same as you did or not. I wish I could say Air-conditioner would be better but your lowest wattage running is a window unit and it draws 500 watts. I'm in Phoenix Arizona where it is average of 115 degrees most of the summer. This summer broke all the records for being the hottest summer ever and my Youget Tech cooler got me through even though my current trailer is just a shell. I have no insulation and no walls. This wasn't my plan to move into it like this. I wanted to do a restore build on it when i lost my job. That was in January of 2024 and since I had no choice but to move out to the desert it has made it impossible to find work. I just started working last week at a Day Labor place because they pay daily and with my truck I can't make it to a paycheck without having some money saved up first. Unlike you I had to go through this last summer with no Refrigerator or freezer. If you are curious you can see my video for 11 steps for homeless to get started. You can see what I had to deal with and it will make you feel better about your experience. I have no delusions about keeping this trailer. Once I get caught up on all I need to I will be saving to replace the trailer. The bad part is being a clean organized person having to live like this was very depressing. Anyway, I'm going to watch some more of your videos. I hope you check my video out, I had to start from scratch because someone stole my main account so don't mind that there are only 4 videos. Getting Google to fix it will be murder because there is no way to get support with either a phone or email.
Nice upgrades, New Chanel name Gogo Gadget Tory Delury sounds fitting, lol. Once again on the road you can see it on your face Tory you have been itching to start road living road tripping all over again. And where happy to come along with on your journey across Canada Ay!. Thanks for Sharing and be safe on the road.
So glad you back hope one day you visit Georgia and camp out on my homestead
Great!!! Progress!! 😊 Sorry to hear about the pneumonia. Not good. I could tell it took a little out of you. Here's to your future health. To steal a phrase "I as happy as a tornado in a trailer park" the look you had getting on the road again. Happy trails!
Of all the beautiful girls not needing to lose weight I’m hoping pneumonia hasn’t left you too weak
It’s very exhausting
Love the upgrades
Take good care of yourself Tory A lot of people are needing you well and happy
Best of travels and better health =;^)
Hint from a microwave fiend = get Press-n-Seal for cooking in the microwave. It can be reused several times and it makes steam cooking fresh veggies & meats super simple. - Wrap corn-on-the cob in it, microwave for 3 to 10 minutes (depending on how soft you like it) for a yummy treat. - Put soup (or left-overs) in a heavy duty "soup lug" with PnS and it will heat quickly without splattering.
Well done great work on your van looking forward to seeing you drive around in it when you can ❤❤❤ 10:35 10:37 10:38 10:39 10:41 10:42
I am currently struggling with my physical and mental health and struggling with my van build. This video gave me hope! I really hope you enjoy getting to explore Canada. But I will tell say you picked a brave time to come. It's about to get cold here. 😂
Sorry to hear you've been sick! Enjoy Canada though its beautiful and stay warm!
Thanks so much Joey! 🙏
Cool sink!
That’s a great find on the sink👍 would love to see it in practice too.
welcome to new york ....you were in my old neighborhood ....hope you had a good time enjoy your adventures
i didn't need to wait for you to show the reputation outfit for me to know, the second you said Canada trip I KNEWWWW, and as jealous as I am I absolutely love that for you💖💖
Girl! I got the 6 inch trifold like that one. It’s amazing! I would not be able to do 2.5 inches.
Get your self a little diesel heater/ get the cheaper battery you can afford the cheaper solar panels and a foam mattres or just any mattres. And slowly build up your van. I build my own squaredrop trailer and ive slowly build it but at one point i just had a square box lol.
Hopefully you are all healed up, and having a great time enjoying your Swift experience! TO, what many people who have lived in Toronto call the place, like myself, has been virtually taken over by Swfties! Not fun for my friends living there, but great for the economy. 🙂 Have fun!
Awesome! Hope to see you back doing some touristy travel vids soon. Ngl, you got dethroned as the best road/van life channel in the past couple months lol but I believe you can reclaim your spot. Hope everything is well, Tory! You should try some stretches for your back, they saved my life, personally. Also, when did you switch to e-scooty from your ebike?! I LOVE my escooter haha
Very Very Very Cool 😎 Thumbnail Picture Tory👍
I’m glad you’re doing better. With pneumonia as you know, you have to be careful. I pray your trip to Canada goes smoothly and you have fun. As you know, we are just entering winter and Canada gets hit first with the nasty cold. You better buckle up with all kinds of heating gear, heavy duty blankets and SUB ZERO sleeping bags! As they say layers, layers and more layers. Biggest thing is to always wear a heavy duty winter cap when it’s below 40 as that will prevent you from getting sick a lot. Keep hands clean at all times. Distancing from people helps too as much as possible. And taking some immune boosting food and vitamins may help. I’m a big fan of those alka seltzer type immune boosters like Airborne. Here’s a web blurb about airborne though and don’t overdue the dosing. Here it is copied from the web, also do your own due diligence on it -> “However, Airborne and Emergen-C tablets each contain 1000 milligrams. Two tablets deliver a 2000 milligram mega-dose - the very top of the tolerable daily limit for most healthy adults. And dosage directions typically suggest 1 tablet every three to four hours, up to three tablets a day..” Wish you the best!
I’ll look into Airborne! Thank you, I am definitely trying to keep my health up as a first priority! I appreciate the tips :)
@@ToryDeluryno prob! Can’t wait for the awesome upcoming vids! Montreal has some awesome restaurants if you head that way
Also some ZINC.....Absplutely needed, especially in cooler climes, and dress more warmly (No Bare Legs), at least until you feel 100 %
.....and The Good LORD Bless You richly, and keep well & safe ! Enjoy your adventure.
