Hey friends! Thanks so much for supporting, liking, commenting and subscribing! WE LOVE YOU!
If you want to check out Jarrod’s awesome channel you can do that here: www.TH-cam.com/jarrodtocci
And if you wanna check out Nick he’s on IG @exploration.vans
Yes!!! He is AWESOME, and creates amazing content! We are lucky to have his experience and expertise via his channel!
Nikki and Camper 🐕 ❤ 💋
Colorful Boston accent. LOL
Check out children’s ambulance on tiny home tours. He’s selling it and it’s awesome
SO EXCITED FOR THIS COLLAB!!!
Nikki!!!! Thank you for coming to visit, we had a blast. Definitely need to meet up again in the near future. You know I’m always down to talk vans!!! Think I can convince you to upgrade 😉 miss you!!
Heck yeah! Can’t wait!!! MISS YOU(& Glacier!)! 🫶🏻🙏🏻🥳
Still not over this! like wtf is this even real life!!!
@@NikkiDelventhal time to settle down nikki and quit monkeying around..my bachelor pad is ready for a change..hope you like guys with mustaches
Sooo. You 2 would be a cute af couple. Jus sayin. Definitely got the vibes. Great vid xx
@@Petapan33 thanks..I always saw myself with Nikki
With all the garbage going on in this country, I sure wish Nikki and Camper were on Friday nights on a good local channel, it's always fun to watch this young amazing pretty lady travel across our great country, stay safe Nikki!
What's wrong with this format? Networks will just get her to try to change up based on some stupid shareholder profit curve. Be content with what she puts here... she's much more accessible and interesting to watch here anyhow.
what not enough young pretty women around you IRL to watch?
I too slept in my prius for about 7 mos..was surprised that i was comfortable.. plus 50 mpg is awsome! Love your channel and adventurous spirit 🥰
You could definitely drive that RV! Story time! In September 2019 I was helping a friend in her TV pilot. She asked me if I could drive a small van… I said “ya sure” then she sent me the next size up which was a slightly larger van… I looked at it and said “I guess so?” Next thing I know she has be picking up a maxi motorhome!! Now I am a commercial truck/bus driver for the film/tv industry. I can GUARANTEE with your driving experience you could drive that RV NO PROBLEM!!!!
You inspired me to go all offgrid, with a tent a bicyle and a few other things to survive. Wonderful personality and extremely inspirational. Traveling like this is hard work as it is, especially if you have a online remote job, the only way you made such great content while living like that was through hard ass work. Keep it up Delvethal!!
@Concrete Head Stop trying to scare him
Several years ago our USAF son and his family were stationed at Hanscomb Air Base near Boston. They lived in Nashua, NH. I found the architecture there to be quite fascinating. Boston is a great city. My son and I walked the Patriot Trail. Many stories about how we experienced Boston. Years ago gas pumps made a”ding” every time a gallon was pumped. If gas pumps still did that, and you had that Winnebago, the sound of the gas pump would probably drive you crazy.
Your videos always go by so quickly. I love watching Camper and how he loves his life with you.
Right when I saw you hug that guy, I said “that’s Jarod”! I’ve been binge watching all of his can build videos. So awesome! Definitely so much more room for activities!
Amazing! His videos are awesome!!!!
Yeayy.. Jarrod Tocci 👏
Thank you for watching Jim :)
jarrod and nick are the besttt i'm glad you got to hang with them!
Stephi!!! Come hang with Nick and I in the northeast…Nikki is invited too 😆
@@JarrodTocci somehow I think if those two got together it would be hard to figure out who was corrupting who, better keep em away from the packies, oh and vlog the whole damn misadventure and you'll go viral fo shu
OMG I need a Steph and Nikki collab in my life ❤️
Dear Nikki, I've been following your channel since the first week in January, 2020. I was hospitalized and my dog Rusty (who could have been a littermate of Camper, judging by looks) was hit by a truck and died. I've been out of the hospital and recovering. My son Jeff found me Enzo, a bit smaller than Camper and Rusty, but you two really helped me through mourning. Enzo camps, hikes, fishes and spends all his time with me. If I were moving into a four wheeled vehicle, I'd want a small van like the VW California (available in Europe) or the VW Buzz coming in 18 months. I think you should move up but not too much up. If you can make the Prius work, any camper a bit bigger will be wonderful. Just a thought. I hope your knee heals. .. Barry
So sorry for the loss of Rusty. Wishes for a speedy recovery 🙏
The first 4x4 camper seems to be more your speed. You can stealth camp and get to harder to reach places, which you seem to enjoy. Perfect size for you and Camp.
But, She would have to get out side to go into the camper or cab. And In bad weather that is not fun and as far as safety....the class C or even the Prius is better.
She'll need a new job just to pay for the gas.
If only someone greeted me the way you greet Camper in the morning. Such a lucky pup.
When you said "I'm meeting my friend who is the van guru" I thought "cool, a lot of good people are out there who know vanlife from front to back, so no doubt you know a great van life guru, but I don't know if there is anyone who is THE van life guru". Then Jarod appeared on camera and my reaction was pretty much just this: "Oh sh it it's Jarod. Yeah, I think he comes real, real close to being THE vanlife guru, since he has seen and built so many rigs over years and years of living that life".
Thank you 😊
Somehow I stumbled upon this channel. I am so glad I did. You are an inspiration to so many. Your general joy and beautiful smile makes watching you very easy.
I love your videos so much. They are always so humble and genuine unlike most influencers nowadays. One of the only channels I’ve kept up with and continue to. 👍🏻👍🏻 I too, for 3 years full time live in a 5th wheel with my 2 year old wife and dogs. We love it.
Ummm...so people don't think that you are a pedophile, it would be better to say my wife of two years instead.
That looked like you had a great weekend. Out of the rigs you’ve shown us I’m favoring the Van. It seems easy to handle and it has room and it’s a 4x4 and it’s the perfect size. Love your content.
She has tried two vans, a Toyota mini van and a Sprinter, and not looked at more Sprinters.
Enjoyed your backwards rehab walking. When my hip bothered me, I was the weird slow stepping lady in my neighborhood for 3 full months. It worked. You'll get good results too I have no doubt. 😃
that smile when you are bring your stuff in the camper... priceless. PURE happiness. very awesome!
I remember you mentioning your preference for driving smaller vehicles. More interior space than a Prius would be more comfortable. That Toyota Sienna hybrid seemed about right.
Good choice especially with the trend towards EV's and hybrids. K
Can't remember, but wasn't it FWD only. If it was AWD then I would say yeah go to it but at this point she has way more money than I thought she for an upgrade, so I think one of the small to mid sized diesel Sprinter 4x4s with solar would be better.
Being able to get an awd sienna hybrid is a game of either paying insane markup or giving an honest dealer a deposit to get a future allocation, which might come before society collapses.
I really respect your measured approach to figuring out what your next move is in terms of choosing a nomadic vehicle to live in. I did the same thing, it took me a long time to choose.
Ultimately I choose a 148 Transit T250 for the turning radius, ride comfort, ease of repair and the ability to convert it to a real deal 4x4 w/ Ford raptor parts, not all wheel drive like the newer transits.
Love your choice of vehicle!

Building my own stealth RV (SRV) with a box truck so its like a Class C. Lots of room for activities!
Hey Nikki.
That RV would be one hell of an upgrade.
Campers face is more of a “ I don’t care where we live mom as long as I’m with you “ kinda face 😊😊🥰🥰🥰
Nikki, I admire how you have changed your life--travel, independence, doing well financially , and meeting some nice people. Congrats. Love your channel.
I hope you get a decked out van or van based RV. I would still love to see a tricked out hybrid RAV4, Highlander, or Sienna minivan setup for camping. For full time living I'm sure you want something larger.
So happy for you and Camper. Because of your videos I actually go out more and do things in nature (Walk, Ride my bike, camping). Looking forward to the new videos in your new ride. Thanks…Ryan (Joliet, IL)
Oh wow! TWO of my most favorite TH-camrs together in one video! Good to see @JarrodTocci there and the two of you collaborating. Kinda sad that Glacier wasn't on this trip to meet Camper. I'm from Cali so we combine the F word with Hella, hella a lot. Still trying to integrate "wicked pissa" into our left coast vernacular. Love you both!!!
Jarrod is AWESOME! Camper was a little overwhelmed with the puppy energy so we had to introduce them slowly! It was so fun being there! I am obsessed with Glacier, she is such a sweetie!
Welcome to New England. You picked a good time to visit.
I've always marveled at your being "comfortable" in that small Prius space. You were always doing a lot of work to reconfigure things for the next activity, whatever it was gonna be. Having a larger frame and not as flexible as you are, I would have a tough time living like that. If you can get comfortable driving and maneuvering a larger vehicle, I think you might like having a real on-board kitchen and bathroom and very little need for frequent reconfigure operations -- which would give you more time to enjoy other activities. Choose carefully and enjoy whichever you choose.
I love campers wiggleness it so cute .such a cute wiggle worm.
Wow, Camper has really become better with water! I remember a time he wouldn’t even get close to the edge.
Love when Nikki sings just think something Awesome is happening somewhere you will maze😊
I love your videos. It's so hard to even try and recommend a new vehicle for you and Camper. I think a Hybrid Sienna or Rav 4 might be a good compromise. Hard to find them at a reasonable price right now though. That camper is amazing but especially with the price of gas right now, the fuel costs would be way more than the Prius. Dilemma! I wish you luck and give Camper kisses for me, he's an amazing Doggo!
Yeah, I was thinking the RAV4 hybrid or the Highlander hybrid, but I’m sure they’re hard to find
I strongly agree with you on this one and I also hope Toyota made a plugin version of the Sienna to even add more awesomeness to it!
That water looks so inviting when your living in an area with a daily summer heat index of 105+. I was in upstate NY camping earlier this month with highs in the mid 70’s/ lows in the low 40’s.
WOW! You and Camper and friends are ssuch a KICK!!! LOVED it! I had an older version of that RV.... drove OK, but BIG.. for me anyways.. amazing something that bug got 16 mpg though. It was great to get to see the Van builds and yes 144 - 148 size would be OK:) ALL THE BEST and Cheers from the other side, cooler PNWest :)
Love that Camper dog. And you of course. The world needs more free spirited people like you.
Hi Nikki-
I hope you enjoy the Winnebago life. I always thought a Prius was too small
I can live for my whole life in the new camper van, life is to wander and wonder each moment of it, great to see an awesome upgraded camper van, more space for more luxurious expeditions.
Great food, friends, water exercise and a wonderful Camper. Looks like there are some really good options for you to chose from. Thank you for sharing your awesome video adventure with us today from Henrico County Virginia, stay safe
Nikki, IMO some good tires and ground clearance is good enough. You can live without the 4x4, plus it's cheaper and better mileage without that weight.
A huge ¡¡Pura Vida from Costa Rica!! You are one of a kind for sure. A Defender 130 is always a good option, or a Troopy.
I love your country, lovely & beautiful. Pura Vida
@@ketoauntie7301 Thank you very much, you will always be welcome to come back and stay for as long as you need.
So fun to see Jarrod! He's awesome. I love his van builds and videos too.
Nikki you are so sooooo beautiful! A beautiful soul and just so free….. you and Camper are such a inspiration to me so thank you! I wish I could go on some of your adventures they look so fun!!!
And those guys are having the time of their life looking at that beautiful bikini body and that great rack!!
Man some people in this video are actually lucky enough to hang out with you. I am just happy to watch your personality on my IPad! Thanks for the positivity! Much needed today. Monday’s panic attack knocked me off course all week. Thanks for the smiles. ☺️
Great watch as always. I think in the end of it all the Van may eventually win 😂, coz the Winnebago and the truck are awesome but must be more annoying to drive around than that Van from a few episodes ago which is like a good middle ground between space and functionality. Keep up the great content 🙏🏿👑
I honestly could see y'all being together because the passion that you'll have for each other even as friends is a little bit more frenzy than I think LOL which is totally cool it's nice to see you with friends
Welcome to the Winnebago club!!💙 We love full-time RV life on the Coast of Oregon 🌴 in our 1984 Itasca Winnebago 28 foot Class A motorhome!!✌️ #davesandersstepdaughter
I’m loving the transition from the Prius. Thanks for sharing. I’m all eyes and ears to see your next adventure.
this just reminded me how much i miss boston and my home town. its been a decade, i need to go back and visit.
I couldn’t image how much gas for that thing would cost
That van shop looks legit. I like the bleeping frenzy in the kayak.

@Мирослава Авраменко how do I contact him
I'll download WhatsApp and text him right away
I'm so happy for taking the bold step in investing a little start up capital with after a week I received my profits to my bank
I am from Denver Colorado USA I connected with him and he has helped me a lot, he makes so much profit for me .he made success earlier than we thought.

Love that New England country scenery.
3 yrs in a Prius god bless...
You deserve anything you want .
CONGRATULATIONS ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY.
I watch this guy on TH-cam. He has a show about van builds. Love it, so many fantastic ideas and vans.😊
I follow Jarrod too! So generous and Knowledgeable. Great video.
Thank you!
True Joy is in the simple things and if you can blend nature into that it’s a win win.
You are going to absolutely love that Winnebago and I love the fact that the bed folds up into the wall
Niki, you're obviously looking for something that's dependable, gets reasonable fuel milage, has 4x4 capability and has storage capacity. Would you consider a towed vehicle such as a camper? You can drop it where you want and just utilize the tow vehicle to get around. I did this with my 5th wheel for awhile, but that's obviously much bigger than you would want. But an SUV or smaller truck with a small Pop-up Camper would be much more maneuverable and get better fuel milage while allowing for everything you get from a bigger camper. Just a thought.
Once you put the slide outs in it isn’t a whole lot bigger than a regular van. I think you could handle it just fine.
Jarrod Tochi!! Whoot!! He rocks Nikki and so do you!!!
He's the most alert and energetic dog, I've ever seen.
My niece moved from a honda odyssey to a F350 crew utl truck, and a camper! now she has 4x4 and ground clearance! Shes buying a small little honda crf250 she still needs a bumper carrier for, to use to run around and get to more inaccessible places for even truck!
Her brother my nephew, went with a Jeep Wrangler 4xE? Hes got a little scamp he tows hes starting his adventures 4th of july weekend! Hes lived in his scamp for the past year while he down sized and sold off everything in his storage locker!
Camper just loves your friend. So cute.
Nikki, I'd recommend a Roadtrek 170! Standing, 17ft long, looks like a passenger van so you can park it mostly anywhere and drive it easily anywhere!
Moving on Up 👏✔️ Camper and Nikki 👍✔️
I've slept in my HHR on camping trips, but my age & my back have caught up with me. I love your videos, gives me back some memories. Thanks
So glad to see you’re friends with Jarrod 🍃🌸🍃
08:15 Camper: good buddy AND lead singer 👍
Charles River trip 🤣👍
I own one of these Winnebago Views. It's actually not that difficult to drive. A lot easier compared to other bigger RVs. Glad you got to experience one!
I am absolutely thrilled for you! I haven't even listened to your video yet. I just read the title of your video and looked at the vehicle upgrade and I could not be happier for you. I'm excited.to listen to your whole story! Sincerely, Anita
Jarad, never heard you so quiet! Glad to see you again on the videos.
The cross over I didn’t know I needed 😁 Jarrod is awesome.
A 143 wheelbase high roof van would be the go for you Nikki! 👍
Camper really is too cute 🥰
East coast is beautiful, serene, cool, and lots of fun. Camper is loving it, tail definitely wagging the dog. Seriously you could never Have a boyfriend as long as you have Camp, he’s madly in love with you. So cute. He really feels that he’s your life partner and that’s because he is. And rightfully so, he’s more loyal, cuter, braver, and more affectionate than most humans.
You still got it Nikki. Loved the fan kick at the end!
Tocci!!! Yaaasss!! So much wisdom and experience to get out of him! ❤️
It's been fun watching You and Camper. If you've been wandering what vehicle to change to, you might want to ask yourself what makes your channel successful? 1. A young lady living in her subcompact car with a stray pup. 2. Surviving everyday challenges with the bare minimum supplies. 3. Keeping a positive attitude while facing the problems that living in a subcompact car create. 4. Have you inspired people have ended up living in a subcompact car? YES. Yes your old Prius is worn out! Camper seems happiest in your old Prius. Upgrade to a newer Prius or a small SUV? Maybe let Camper decide?
One of my buddies would sleep in his prius and shower in the building I owned. I used the property for a car dealership and gave him the keys to the place it was a 4000 Sq ft brick building but he preferred to sleep in his car 🤣. I told him to sleep inside it had 4 huge offices furnished but I think he was kind of scared of the place.
You’ve found a way to be on vacation all the time…so cool!
Awww. Love Nikki and Kamper.
Kamper with a "C"
Thank you Nikki! You are my true inspiration :D
Keep on rocking on Nikki
Thanks for posting and sharing. Winnebago was really surprising.
Love Jarrod! Glad you are doing such great research prior to selecting your next mobile home. So good I had to watch twice.
So he went back to home base from the west coast...
Jarrod can give you a boat load of ideas ... customizing anything.
Class C or large B are comfortable and size easy for full timing.
Consider an RV show like September Hershey PA.
GER aka LK
yep, those larger campers work best out west. I like the idea of the vans you were looking at. Wonder if they have a hybrid van.
What a fun couple of days. Cool to see you in an RV even though it’s quite big. You fill find jut the perfect thing when you are ready.
I started watching this channel because I love vanlife vids, but now I have a massive crush on Nikki lol, Shes so cool!!
Ghost man! Wonderful! I love his stuff!
Class C’s are awesome. I live and work full time in mine. If you and Camper are ever in NW Florida and need a free place to stay, my site has a 70 ft. paved spot. Good luck finding the solution that is best for you and keep up the great work on the channel!
That’s awesome!!! I was hoping you got a camper!!!
When I was considering living spaces. I considered a Chevy Suburban. It drives like a pickup truck but has the functionality of a van. My other option was a school bus conversion. You can set it up any way you want. It has decent off road abilities, plenty of room for solar and storage.
Nikki at the edge of my life you dance like a king
Nikki & Camper,
I would love to see you stay in a hybrid vehicle and hopefully you can find a hybrid sprinter van for your next vehicle!
That's one of my favorite things about your journey so far!
Enjoy your weekend!
-Shane
You deserve that camper upgrade. Hope you get it
I think camper enjoyed the winnebago you slept in for the weekend..looks like he loved the bed so much room...
I never know what to expect. You seem like such a fun person to be around ♡
I have a class C one slide 25 foot. Winnebago. I have two big dogs that I travel with. Love it! I’m too old for sleeping in a car!
Congrats on your new wheels! Stunning
