I used to be a bit annoyed by the constant over-the-top cheerfulness in every situation no matter what. But after getting to know you a bit, and watching more of your videos, I've come to appreciate and anticipate this positive attitude almost like a warm cup of coffee on a cold morning. Keep it up!
Same! Haha. People that are always cheery and too positive can irk this New Yorker sometimes 😆
Yep me too..
Fake for the camera and Sales.
She annoyed me that I also have a Huge Crush on her fron Canada..
Her Resume is Amazing! She's a VERY x100 INTELLIGENT..
Successful before TH-cam, Model...cheerleader..
I think she danced at a Strip Joibt in NY?, Scores?? 🤣😂😊😂
Nikki..
Peter Parker saying Hi.
😉😉😙😙😙😙
@platinum1389 congratulations. You win the creepiest comment of the day
I still get bugged ...when she’s spitting in her salad. With those carrots
It’s still very annoying
Thank you for showing us the good and bad things about van life. Not enough people do that.
So now what will you do for a living?
Yeah right. This van life bs is for the TH-cam algorithm. They ain't really living in a van lol
I think it’s important to show the reality of the issues that arises Especially in moments like this. It’s been a MAJOR pain in the butt these couple months! Thanks for the support!
@@NikkiDelventhal I cannot think of any better way for the average person than Van life as a perfect way for someone to find themselves, and their place in this world, and even to possibly find the love of their life in this world! It is also perfect to learn many things you would not learn otherwise!
I’m glad you found a safe place…for awhile…GOOD LUCK…. 👍🏼👣
Your ability to stay happy and positive in miserable circumstances is amazing! I love your videos!
Seeing Camper so excited just warms the heart
Hey Nikki. Thanks for letting us joining you all on your journey. Sorry life is tricking you. Way not to be overly rigid.
That dog is amazing, and the way he found you, even better.
😐
Sorry Nicki, some people have to be so hateful over nothing. Thank you for your content. Please try to ignore the haters. Please be safe as always
Great comment. Some people are just full of hate. K
@@seedabeauty Hi. I am a long time viewer. Things have improved a lot in the last month but they were pretty bad for the longest time, trust me.
Lots of people are annoyed by other people who are overly cheerful!
Most people are afraid to say anything!
In a large survey they found out that only one out of every 27 people that don't like something will ever say anything.
Leaving 26 other people unhappy or annoyed or irritated but don't want to say anything.
So every time you see a negative or constructive comment multiply that by 27!
Just so you will know.
That was certainly a negative and hateful comment!
Nobody said anything about being hateful except for you!
Wow! That campground in Moab has the biggest cleanest bathroom I've ever seen! The designers and owners should be applauded. 👏
Making a bathroom bigger makes it easier to use, and easier to clean.
I saw the video title and thought, "NO! Say it ain't so!" But Nikki just blasts on through and stays positive no matter what. Really fun episode! Crazy how Camper knew where you were going! Smart!
Being cold is the worst...and in the middle of the night is just torture. But attitude is everything. Way to turn it around. :)
I love your dog Camper, he is such a faithful companion.
Hello, I discovered your channel today and I already have a complaint. It's addictive, I can't stop watching. One video followed by another😂. I'm a 63 year old man and I'm in Portugal 🇵🇹. The landscapes are beautiful, your love for animals is beautiful, you are beautiful and communicate very well....I hope for many more videos and...THANK YOU
I don't know how you stay so positive and full of energy, but you're super adorable. ❤
Its just for TH-cam. Trust this is just the highlights, nobody is perfect nor their life.
When you're with someone you love, whether a person or a dog and doing what you love, it's much easier to stay positive but, of course, we all have those down days. It's really hard to be depressed when you're doing what you love with someone you love.
I love your relationship with your parents! My dad passed in 2015 and my mom has cancer. I wish I could’ve traveled with mine but for now, I love living through your videos w/ your parents! Give your parents a big great hug for me🤍
I lost both mine. Spend every moment you can, with your mom. Be sure to tell her you love her everyday. It's more important than you realize.
My mom died of cancer in 2014, my "father" can't keep himself out of either jail or prison since I was a child. So I guess I have no father.. which means I have no parents.
It’s always so refreshing to watch your journey! The effort you put into your videos does not go unnoticed!!
Honestly this is the best series for an honest look at a nice van life. But Nikki's positive attitude is what makes it great! And Camper is so AWESOME!!!! Incredible companion!
Hi Nikki...sorry, you are having heater problems. How is it that you wake up and look so beautiful right from the start? ...your love of adventure and cute sense of humor is infectious! ....thank for taking us along, keep em coming!!
Editing... She wakes up, get pretty and rigs the camera, then crawls back into bed for the "wakeup shot"
But she is also really pretty to start with, so it's easy for her
That’s funny how Camper knew y’all were almost there. My cat Harley always knew when we were less than 5 miles either coming to my parents or heading back to our house. She use to get up on the dash like that and meow. Cracked me up!!
Nikki I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed in the title of your video. It's misleading and you don't need that stuff. Stay true to yourself and don't get caught up with the views
That so funny watching Camper know your mom nearby, then him seeing her. Dogs are amazing with all that love they have to give. Glad they finally got your heater working, here's to no more smoke in the van.
That house your mom is house sitting at is incredible. What a view of Denver, it actually makes me think of the view over Los Angeles from the hills over LA.
I was thinking the same thing. Like that's LA in the background.
I love what you’re doing for dogs. My girl is a rescue from Texas and not too many people would tolerate her behavior but I love her so much 🥰
So sorry you and Camper had van problems, once again Nikki. So glad your mother and her friend were near, so you and Camper could relax while getting the van repaired. Your mom is so a awesome! I love seeing your and Camper's adventures together.
Nikki and Camper can make any tough situation positive, humorous and fun.
This video is one of my favourites so far. Even through the troubles with the heating system you have such a positive attitude. That's what makes you so amazing. That house though. OMG. Such a beautiful home and those views are to die for. Too bad they had that water leak but at least you caught it early and got it fixed.
Can I make a recommendation, just in case your heat breaks down again? You could use what I've come to call the hobo heater. It's a can of Crisco and a shoelace, you cut the shoelace and cover it with crisco, then put it down in the Crisco. Light the shoelace and you have heat for about 72 hours. I recommend prepping one or two and having them ready.
I was suggested this video even though Ive never seen your content. But your quirkiness had me smiling the entire 30 minutes. You have a new fan :)
Nikki you are a riot! Your personality is amazing! How could you not have a absolute blast with this girl? The extra goofiness is much appreciated and I feel like we would spend a lot of time laughing at one another 😊 Rock & Roll 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻💪🏻
The fact that you can have so much fun in a video that you describe as ‘nothing goes to plan’ is so inspiring! Love your positive attitude! Also, I guess it’s better to ride with Laverne & Shirley rather than Thelma & Louise! Hope your weekend is awesome!😊
WoW ! That was some crazy experiences going on in both places, thanks for the positivity and fun. Always great to see you with family and friends, hang in there Nikki and camper we Love U 💕🐾🙏👍
Dang Nikki, you're just a breath of fresh air. Thank you for all the positive vibes you bring to everyone. I get zen when I watch your videos
Just absolutely love Nikki!! So positive, super happy, energetic, compassionate, cares about the environment, super healthy, lives life to the fullest & Absolutely Beautiful inside out!! Just Amazing!! Love her videos!! 👍❤❤
Sorry for the difficulties this week with the van and then the house. But thankfully good people stepped up to repair everything. That’s some house and view. Stay safe and cozy with Camper, Nikki, a stream of storms are expected starting tonight in some places, and most of the Country will be affected until Wednesday, they said. While I was watching this, a song came to me which I have written onto my production calendar 🗓, it’s for you, called: “Camper’s Girl”, and yes, it will be rock with some electric shredding with distortion. I want to get you an emerald green electric guitar and amp. 🎸🎵🎶 💚
Love it 💚
Sorry to see all your cold van troubles. Hope things get better and stay warm. Wishing you and Camp all the best of luck
Absolutely another amazing video, :) You can't just miss the spirit of an adventure that is in this video. As someone who has been struggling with finding the path to life again, you're bringing exactly the great questions and maybe answers as well. I have been thinking of going van living for almost a year, and you really push me to do just that this summer. Finally, I started looking for a van. Thank you for such an inspiration and I wish you all the best. :)
You are making us laugh even when you are having a series of things go wrong. We always look forward to seeing you and Camper on Fridays. Give Camper a big hug for us. 💞
Nikki never lets anything get her down. Love the Video
Got to say this was so entertaining, love it when you are with family. Your Mom & her friend were great as well as Camper. Loved this episode. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome video! Glad you show that van life just like real life is not perfect(heating issues)but you just got to find solutions and move on. Your mother is a great human being by the way just like your father. Thank you for taking the time & effort to edit these awesome videos and share them with the world. Take care and you & camper always stay safe.
Super fun getting to see Golden CO again through y'alls eyes this time. My family and I enjoy watching your channel, have been big fans for many years. I inherited my Prius from my Aunt who was a Catholic nun that learned to ride amotorcycle & bought her 1st one at age for her 40th bday, race care lover/driver in her younger years. I cared for her at my home during her battle with breast cancer which she eventually lost Feb 2021. I taught her about your channel, she loved the way you are living life o your terms. Hugs to camper! Keep enjoying every day for all of us who can't travel atm.
Hey Nicky, next time heat goes out could you not use the vans heating from the dashboard? You have to run the engine but it will at least heat the van up a bit. Great videos as always 🙂
Can;t sleep that way though, you'd risk CO poisoning
My absolute favorite channel on TH-cam! Always fun to watch and always makes me want to go on a road trip.
Vanlife is often Seasonal. Springtime is almost here ! It's about time for a little ROADTRIP!
Getting out Enjoying the Spring Air! Good Luck! Niki ,I enjoy your Videos.
Camper is living his best life with you ❤ 🐾
Oh my goodness Nikki and Camper. You don't need any more drama Goodness gracious. I am praying for you both.
🙏🙏 Here's to you have a positive attitude..
17:08 I laughed so hard and SO loud, I scared my four dogs beside me!! You, Camper, and Fam are the absolute best.
ok that house and the views are INCREDIBLE! Your mom and her bestie are adorable!! Give Camper some snuggles from all of us!
Nicole, thanks for sharing your life and frustrations with the world. Love you guys so much.
We know that feeling. Sorry about your heater problems! We hope things get better. You can count on us to stay warm!
I love my selk'bag!!!
Only you could turn a series of disasters into a positive experience. You really are amazing!
Use an RTG! I know..Rads per minute but WARM!
She never responds to or likes comments. Not sure why people ever comment.
@@fitfogey I generally only respond for the first hour after a video is posted as the comments lately have been flooded with hate, bullies and negativity.
Thank you!🥰🥰🥰
@@NikkiDelventhal Okie dokie…
Great show, and it's awesome that you're so positive even in some of the stressful situations. 😊
Your energy is amazing, everytime I have had the opportunity to watch you, I'm amazed.
Love the amount of energy you have in you videos. No matter what is going on you are full of soo much positive energy and a big smile!!
you have no idea how she is like when the camera is not rolling
@@dethray1000 So you are saying she is only acting that way because she is in front of the camera?? Hmm.. would love to see what you mean. Please post a link for us to see the really Nikki
So nice to see you having fun with camper and your mom . You are a fun person . Thank you for sharing you life with me.
Nikki, great attitude handling adversity! It’s all part of the adventure… A buddy heater might be a great backup/insurance plan. Cheers 🍻 to your next adventure.
Awww just did an amazing 3-week long housesit in Golden!! 🧡 It’s such a cute town, plus love the mesas!!
Sorry about the heat. I was without power for 3 days a few weeks ago. I spent 3days with my old cats attached to my body. We survived.
I've been to Golden, it was mostly beer.
You have a talent that I envy - the ability to stay happy when things go wrong. I hope you don't have any more problems with the van.
how do you know she is happy...for all we know this is all a persona for youtube
be weary of the danger that comes with envy
Dang David you were the one who is so special and perfect for Nikki ?? Right dang boy you r so incredibly lame with your hand full of lotion comments ! Whoowee you r incredible have u ever considered sucking cock for a living?
@@chroniclesofapipemaker5175 Nikki is into women, not men you simpleton
@@chroniclesofapipemaker5175 put down the crack pipe, Mmmmkay?
Nikki,mom,moms friend and Camper y'all rock! Love the channel and content! Peace
I enjoyed watching this. Your mom is cool and she looks good in that model plaid. Camper is the luckiest living thing on the planet by getting spoiled and going to all the places most humans could ever dream off
Glad you and your beautiful furbaby went to your moms in that freezing night. The furbaby is so beautiful made me tear!
I'm here for the Pizza, Nikki, Mom, Friend, and Camper!!!
Love the sign you bought!!
I really can learn from your positive attitude. Even if that’s all you show in the vid, it’s a learning that no one enjoys negative drama, but as that’s life just to take it in stride, whatever lifestyle one chooses. Thanks for fun videos on what it can be like on the road.
I love your videos! I literally watch it every Friday! Thank you for sharing your life and experiences!
Sweetie, turn on the propane stove for a bit, it will heat the van in no time. Or any other source of heat you may have there. These fancy vans seem to be a lot of trouble, that's why I purchased a vintage motorhome, no touch screens, no electronics, no headache 🙂 stay warm!
Wow that sprinter is having a lot of troubles! I hope the van you bought fares better 😢
Last I saw isn’t this Sprinter a loner while the new one is being fitted out?
@@danielktdoranie that’s what I said?
I’ve lived in trailers since 2010. First a 23 foot airstream then went to a 30 foot Winnebago fifth wheel trailer. Love it, there’s plenty of room and it’s a house on wheels. The good thing about fifth wheels is it’s a high ceiling and three slide outs making it wider.
Hello, just want to say you're giving camper. The best life of dog can have is so nice to see how you treat this dog so well and it's able to see so many things in the world and you can tell from looking at camper that it loves to travel also. Have fun guys
How awful sorry you have to go through all this hope you get it fixed right away! Love the rest of your trip the three of you were a hoot to watch!
Hi Camper, I Love watching your travel and adventures. You look like a very happy dog 🐕 😊 Shout out to your assistant girly who drives the van 😊
Your cliff hanger ending worked! I was waiting for the follow up all week. Glad the heat system is fully replaced, I can only imagine the stress of your own van having the same system in the future. But on the bright side this is a testimony of the customer support
First off I love your mom and dad, they are the best. Second I hope the heater in your van works much better. I will not be camping in the snow if I can help it with our van so hope not to run into those issues. Stay safe
Brings back memories of Copper Mountain visit from U.K. Love your vids Nikki. Keep on camping!❤
Nikki, I love how you guys are always smiling and positive, even though you might not feel it … you are awesome … keep it up 😊
12:25 those mountain views. Gorgeous.
I know all to well about heater failures while living in a van durning the winter and it can be hell ! Currently dealing with this myself here in Calgary Canada 🥶
Super glad you were able to get it serviced stay warm stay happy 😁🤙🏼
Nikki and Camper, best part of my Friday!!!
so glad the problem was something they could fix quickly. No warmth in the winter is a killer. Yall stay safe.
You always have a great attitude about everything and that is your strength good luck with your journey
Through the good & the bad, you’re still a happy camper!
That was a nice day in Golden. Looks like y'all had a good time. It's cool you have such good attitude with intermittent mishaps. Good way to live stress free. Btw, I was eating when you did your "NFL Cheerleader" jump early in the video, I almost choked laughing.
Even when you don't go on an adventure you still have an adventure. Sooo cool.
Gotta keep all the faucets dripping to help prevent the pipes freezing. Parts of Colorado are a different kind of cold, though.
I really hope your van stays fixed this time. Seems like you've had a lot of problems with it, so hopefully your luck turns around. Rooting for you! Your positive attitude is always encouraging!
Nikki is always fun and lots of humour
My son bought a Sprinter Mercedes van, 5 cylinder diesel. He had so much trouble with it. Drivers window would get stuck in the down position. Numerous heating problems. Transmission problems and electrical problems. The happiest day of his life was when he sold it! Sorry you’re having to deal with it Nikki.
@@keithmelton4570 ive got 398,000 miles on my 06 sprinter. Aside from general maintenance it runs like its brand new and still gets 23mpg!
@@mariamaria2751 totally
Your mom and her friend are goals for me when I retire! ❤❤
Wow what a beautiful place you stayed at! Holy moly. Your a dolly sweets thanks so much for a glimpse into your life space….I’m a struggling musician and love your optimism.
love the crazy 2am disaster. It must have been difficult, but your spirit and doing those hilarious NFL cheerleader hops in the bathroom was lovely!
Your mom was controlling my kitchen lights during that part of the video. It freaked me the heck out. 😂
I'm sorry to hear van life isn't working out. Stay positive!
Aloha Nikki, welcome back to CO! I like the Golden area and have taken pictures in a lot of the spots you guys visited. Glad you got to spend time with your mom and her bff =)
Beautiful woman and dog. I hope you get your heat working by the place you are taking it to. Glad that mom was house sitting so that helped with the place to stay while the van being fixed. Lovely. ❤❤❤❤
Hello.. The van is your home and to have it breakdown is never good. The new one will benefit you. Take your time and build on it as you will make it a cosy home. Good luck for the future and happy travels.. Regards Mick.. Chef-on-the-wild-side.. X
Ugh that happened to me, my diesel heater was spewing fumes inside and it was so cold outside... Such a nightmare. Hope you get it all cleared up!
Been a fan of you and camper. I was so thrilled to see downtown Golden. Absolutely love the town. I was a night auditor at the Table Mountain Inn. Highly recommend it. And the trails up Table Mountain are amazing too
Wish I had 1/2 of your energy Nikki. You would of been fun to hangout with when I was young. Glad all the repairs were made to your camper van and the house your mom's house sitting.
I love your positive energy, Nikki! Following your adventures vicariously through you! Thanks so much for putting in all the work into making the videos and sharing with us! Camper is such an awesome doggo and friend! Love from NYC
We went to see the Giant Sequios in Kings Canyon Ca. it was in Nov. so we drove up to the top where the big Lodge hotel is, it was closed and we went to the restroom by the lake, when we went in you could almost hear the angelic music, it was heated.
I love your content. I was worried about the title on this one, so I’m glad to see it wasn’t as dire as it first seemed.
Ahhhh....This was fantastic I cracked up so many times with all the commentary and shenanigans!! You brighten up my day with every video! Love you, Camper and Family--xoxoxox
Love your energy, you are awesome Nikki! 🙌
