As someone who drove a Subaru WRX for 14 years, I totally get the attachment to Hotel Prius. However, with how often you're on the road I believe it's time for an upgrade. I think I speak for many on your channel, when I say that we worry for you when you break down far from home. Anyway, sending light and healing vibes for your knee. 😊😊😊
Agreed!! 👍🏻😀
@@dominiquebertrand6152 She has the money 💰 for a new vehicle. This channel generates plenty and her Patreon.
@@dominiquebertrand6152 She makes plenty. 30k to 60k a year.
Absolutely! A more reliable car is definitely a must
Exactly what I said. She should upgrade for 2 reasons: SAFER, and BIGGER! :D
OMG. I had to watch Camper and his wiggle butt several times at how excited he was to see your parents! That's so adorable.
Sooooo effinnnnn cute!
@@NikkiDelventhal You should try metal detecting. Look up the Simplex detector. Waterproof so you can look for gold rings in swimming areas.
Sounds like your upgrade might need to happen pretty soon, excited to see what you end up in! I’m traveling and actually just left NY for Montana, we’re headed across the U.S. in opposite directions! My pup and I love watching your adventures while experiencing our own
Have fun in our beautiful state of Montana. I wake up every day grateful to be in this beauty!! Drive safe with your pupper!!
@@ibMoose2u thank you, very excited to explore this summer!
@@overwanderadventures7312 Just saw you’re a streamer, I’ll subscribe and watch your fun in my backyard!! I take my pupper EVERYWHERE and love people who love dogs/animals!! There are no bad dogs, only bad humans 😁
Have fun and be safe Over Wander. Have fun in Montana. My cousin has a place just north of Darby. We driving that way also in November.
I feel sorry for women lol prob a easy fix. Mechanic and dealers love screwing ppl off well they may not love it but need the money. My prius got 300000 miles on swapped engine. Went to LA few days ago check engine light is on, I carry a scanner. Engine overheated. Did I replace anything? No. Sometimes in a rare occasion it creates bubbles, air pockets from the top opening. Nothing you can do about it but release the air. That's it. Cost $0, actually I added coolant $15. You go to a shop and there's no way you'll get away without paying them $1,200 lol. I was lazy few months ago and thought I'll let the mechanic fix my ac which goes on and off. He said I need to replace the condenser, $1,400 with labor lol. I told him to screw off in my mind. I went to work and discovered when the coolant isn't circulating properly, the ac won't work properly because it's connected. Again it's air bubbles. More common than you think and responsible for false diagnosis. So in like 2 years of extensive driving I have to release air pockets from my coolant. That's it. Sell me your prius if you don't want it Nikki lol. I'll take it.
"Hotel Rav" has a nice ring to it. The newer Rav4 AWD Hybrids would check pretty much every box it seems you need. They have Toyota reliability (obviously) hybrid fuel economy, increased interior space, AWD for those tough spots, and plenty of ground clearance for those campsites far off the beaten path. I don't see how you could go wrong!
The Sienna's are better.
Praying for your knee to heal and praying that whatever happens with the Prius you will make the right decision for you. We love watching your videos! Stay safe and take care Nikki. You are amazing!
Don't green gas pumps usually mean diesel fuel? 12:58
I know in my area, most pumps are black for gas, except diesel is green. (CA)
My thought also
Green means diesel that will set you car emissions check engine lights off.
I think the Green handles are always diesel in thr USA, though I have seen them Yellow too...
Diesel WILL certainly mess up everything gasoline 😪 with just as little as 1 gallon...
@@boobtubeakatv1296 Yes that is true, in Michigan every gas pump that has a green cover on the pump handle is diesel, regular is black and in some areas yellow is a hybrid (gas not car) that contains ethanol.
Diesel nozzles do not fit into a Regular gas car ... Diesel nozzles are fatter that Regular nozzles.
I know you've grown emotionally attached to that Prius, but I think it's trying to tell you it's pretty much done.
It's provided tons of exciting miles exploring, plus some off-road adventures, that little Toyota has served you very well.
Instead of spending booku dollars to revive it (yet again), why not put that money towards a replacement AWD hybrid or true off-road vehicle?
Either way, lovin' the videos.
Agreed!! 💯😁❤️ #davesandersstepdaughter
I have a 2nd generation. I have 300,000 and still going strong. Most already figured out the necessary upgrades and she will be good. The prius has an amazing resale value. If it ever doe go on her, she can trade it in on something after she hs more time. It will be cheaper to keep and repair parts last forever on the 2nd Gen.
Buying a new car nowadays her repair costs might not even cover markup adjustment costs dealers are charging.
@UA-cam Channel it’s also the most sought after non “luxury or sports” suv on the market and dealers constantly price gouge it.
@UA-cam Channel I would hate to shoot holes in your Rav4 Prime option but that is what I am going to do. Rav4 Prime combined city/hwy is 38mpg using the battery gives estimated 94mpge. The range on RAV4 Prime is estimated 594miles. The cost is $39,800 depending where you buy. Down side is RAV4’s are known for transmission and power train problems and they are loud when driving at highway speeds.
Prius Prime combined city/hwy is 52mpg using battery gives 133mpge!! The range is 640miles on only 11.4 gallons. The cost is $28,200 depending where you buy. Prius Prime is a quiet reliable long lasting vehicle that is cheaper to maintain than the Rav4. One other thing between these two vehicles is a major deciding factor; the RAV4 battery is estimated to last 3-5 years but the Prius Prime battery is rated to last 10 years or 150,000 miles!! Should Nikki pay more for more problems or pay less for more reliable longer lasting transportation? My guess is the Prius Prime would clearly be the better choice. My Prius PlugIn currently has 18,000 miles on the trip A and average mileage during that time is 86.5mpg and that is driving both summer and winter. In summer the average mpg skyrockets due to more travel using battery/gas option. But if going off road is a desire then when Nikki’s knee heals walking and hiking is always a fun and healthy way to go.
Camper's happiness to meet up with relatives is so friggin adorable. The power of love. Ya can't stop now. P.S.- Your knee injury gives me the inspiration to get thru my broken leg recovery! Thanx Niki
I love how much Camper loves his grandparents!! I totally understand emotional attachment...my mom passed away and I inherited her car. I drove it home from the hospital after my son was born, my husband got his driver's license in that car, we took family vacations in that car...the pins my mom had pinned onto her headliner were still there...then it died. I stored it in my carport for YEARS until we had enough money to get it running again...it lasted 8 more months until it died again and this time the work needed was far more than the car was worth and the money would be better spent investing in a new car. Sad sad day letting that car go. My mom loved it...it was a zippy cobalt blue sporty thing that my mom adored. It was very hard to let go but I have all the photos of the inside and all our memories in photos of vacations and milestones in that car. It was time. Hope they can fix your car and you can have many more memories in it before her time is up...but if it is up...it'll be ok. Trust.
I have learned so much from you and how to convert my own Prius into a place I can sleep in and travel. I also understand the attachment.
My father taught me in the 1970s, never become emotionally attached to a vehicle, it will only cost you more then it's worth....
Wise man!
Great advice
But if you love the vehicle it's worth everything you don't count the cost. If you counted the cost of everything in life you would go insane
@@johnringoo756 not everything, just vehicles.....
Sorry, I can't help being emotionally attached to my Prius, lol.. I'm only human 😁
Despite of having knee injury you are still making vlogs, traveling.
Hats off to you.
Get well soon Nikki.
You're awesome Nikki! Love watching your adventures! Stay strong and heal well!
I was always very impressed how you managed to live in a freaking Prius. But I think it is time to go for something bigger, where you don't have to rearrange everything you own to get to sleep and with more offroad and camper capability (pun intended ^^). And of course, get well soon! Love from Germany!
and of course try to eat more protein and fewer salads, you are too skinny :-D
Hey Nikki and camper! I can’t wait for you to upload watching you both makes me feel really happy! I’m such an unwell person and I bet having you around I wouldn’t even remember I was poorly. Much love take care and I hope your leg feels better soon. Till next time ....xx
Call Toyota HQ and say " hey I've been living in a Prius for soo long I think you should sponsor me, And I can make advertisements for you" ....Heck what's the worst they can say?.
🤔👍👍👍
A newer car would not need as much attention, and a larger car would help with your knee, but I do love Hotel Prius. You need to do whatever is best for you and Camper. Either way, we will still tune in for you guys! Good luck!
Prius 5
The new electric vehicles are really advanced compared to what she has. Much more comfortable and efficient.
I’m confused though, didn’t someone give her a hybrid van?
@@sleepinggorillaToyota let her borrow one for a few days to test it out.
I have a 2006 prius with 153000 miles and it runs like a tank. I just spent 1000 on tires and spark plugs and a wheel bearing. It's an amazing car but once they go over 200000 miles it's not worth putting in expensive repairs.
IMO emotional attachments are great for family, friends and pets. That Prius is becoming a lot of trouble and time to move on!!! Love your videos! Hope your knee procedure is successful too.
pretty good for cars too, especially if you have lots of fans who are emotionally attached to it too.
the mitsubishi outlanders seem to be popular but the lectric handbrakes can be serious trouble, i think they srted it witha recall.
but an emotionally charged prius , attached to a channel with hundreds of thousands of subs?
id say the more attached ot that car , the more ragged it gets, the more its worth!
Toyota should sponsor you with a NEW Prius or larger vehicle. Agree to do some commercials
Hey, good luck on this decision, I know it's hard. I think it will all work out for the best. It was great to see Campwr running on the beach and so excited to see your parents. I hope your knee heals up alright.
Still smiling through the struggles, you rock!
GoFundMe for a new ride/hotel for Nikki and Camper! Yes, there are more "important" causes perhaps. But none that are so entertaining and awesome. Who is in!?
300k+ subscribers, 10% donate $1, that would be enough for an upgrade.
She doesn’t need a GoFundMe, she is making loads from her channel so can easily afford a new ride.
Wife and I love your channel! We are full time in a Motorhome but I just took a job and are in a nice campground in NC. Hopefully we will be back on the road in a few months. Just needed to bank some bucks. That beach looks like the place to go with our 2 dogs! Be safe and take care!
Do they play marching band music at 8am where you’re staying? Lol
@@craigcampbell1843 no they don’t but it might be fun just for a few days!
Backwards walking is great for leg rehab (you know this). Resistance bands are a light-weight way to bring physical therapy tools with ya in the car. I've been through more than my fair share of PT, OT, and even speech therapy at one point.
Goodness, time to trade it in and get something a little bigger. I know you're attached to it but you need to let it go. It will only hurt for a little bit. I've owned two highlanders and slept in the back many times. It's an amazing car and just about perfect for your needs. Just my two cents. Love your channel, keep it up!
I was glad to see you up and moving. Camper was burning up the beach, I clocked him at about 15 mph when he went by 😄. Maybe the ol Prius will end up giving up a few more thousand before you have to retire her. Take care of that knee and try not to poop your pants any more 🤣🤣.
There comes a point when you are throwing money away, even if you love the car. Only you will know when that time is. Also you might need something different for health reasons - that’s what happened to me, I had to go automatic because I couldn’t change gear anymore. You will love the next one too I am sure. Excited to see what you go for when the time comes 😘
NYC drivers are hardly the craziest in the world, but cute that you think so :-)! Good luck with your plans, I hope you make a decision that makes you happy, which is ultimately the only important thing. Also, go on a Facebook Prius support group and explain the symptoms that the car has, any fault codes, and there will usually be people (including mechanics) that know the car really well and can provide tips on what is wrong. Often it can be the cheapest part that needs replacement to fix what appears to be an expensive problem.
They are in the top 5, without a doubt
Te deseo lo mejor, saludos desde México🖑😘❤🇲🇽!!!
*HOTEL PRIUS 2.0🚘will be just what the DR ordered Nikki!* 😊👍🏼 *Less time in Garage getting work done on it~more cubbyhole space!~increased leg room to stretch out~to do yoga, have dance marathons~while learning Spanish~you know~important fun stuff!* 😅
*Great to see your Mom&Dad as well as Campers' reaction~just so fricken happy to see them both!* 🐶😅
*Take care & stay safe.* 🤓👍🏼
*LoveAlways* 💙 *KareBear*
wow! I really hope that we have better luck with out prius! Hope the knee heals soon!
What year did you get? I mean hers is a 2006, a bit long in the tooth! And hers is lifted and she takes it off road, so she does stress it a bit.
@@sailorbrite We have a 2012 so it's definitely a newer vehicle. Hopefully we don't have this!
@@LeahandLevi I'd see if you can find out how many miles Nikki has on hers. Cars are much better than they used to be, but they are not engineered to run forever
2014 had no problems.
No major problems with my 2006 Prius and I bought it brand new. It’s the BEST car I’ve ever owned! 2006 is suppose to be a good year to buy one since it was the 2nd series and got all the kinks out of them from the first batch. That’s what I have seen from several different sources.
To be honest:
When I see you living cramped in this car I really would wish you to have a vehicle with more space.
Especially since she has Camper! I have a hightop GMC Savana cargo van and a Hi-Lo and I really like them. Best purchase I have made.
Go to Mexico 🇲🇽 . Make videos. In Mexico 🇲🇽. Go to puerto Vallarta. Cancun etc.
I've gotta say it again. Camper is the most loved dog that lives an incredible life. Regarding the Prius, I vote upgrade. Once these breakdowns start happening then you will always be at risk for another breakdown around the corner and with your lifestyle you can't afford that. The Prius is no longer dependable. ♥️✌🏽🕊
I would say time for a new vehicle. With a AWD one picked the adventurous for us to watch would be a upgrade also
Well maybe you have had enough of the car life but if not, go look at the KIA Niro. EV. It's kia's version of the Prius. It gets 50 miles to the gallon and has same climate control kind of thing. It's more like a crossover to mini SUV. Tires are small like Prius. Lifted a little higher. Has a 200k drive train warranty. Low maintenance like Prius, but roomier inside.
Hi me...lol...Well, that is a handsome/cute car, looks like a Porsche. Never seen one before. Im sold tho.
omg camper is soooo cute!! I loved watching him run on the beach and then when he saw your parents he was soo happy! Adorable!
6:06 "Camper" is so funny! 😅😂🤣
I would recommend you to get the Sienna Hybrid, a very spacious, efficient and practical vehicle, specially for what you do.
Nikki - just found you a week or so ago. What an amazing journey you've had! I feel like a car company would love to sponsor you as you continue your travels around the country. Of course there is the pandemic, rising cost of fuel and such right now... Ugh! Well hand in there - hopefully your Prius can get it's issues resolved and back up and running quick. Hope your knee feels better! Take care.
From what I see you’ve still got a lot more wanderlust than settle drive. However a little more size vs fuel economy would cut annoyances and smooth your recovery. Hotel Sienna? Hotel RAV4 hybrid? Loved watching you grow into the veteran car camper and explorer. You got this. Sometimes when you love a car it’s best to let it go before everything goes wrong over and over and you find yourself paying more to fix a car you no longer love.
As a native NY'er for the first 68 years of my life (don't ask why it took so long to move!) and now living in North Carolina I think it's so cool that you were in both states ! I can also agree that a lot of NY drivers are pretty bad but NJ drivers are even worse!
I'm hoping for the best for Hotel Prius but if you do have to get a new vehicle I would like to suggest a Rav4 Hybrid. I love Toyotas too and have a 2019 4Runner that's great but gets pretty bad mileage so not for you lol. I've heard real good things about the Rav though and it would be roomier than the Prius. Stay safe, give Camper hugs and pets and have fun. Also I hope your knee gets better real soon!
My Daughter has had 2 Rav4's, Loves them. A good choice for you.
Pronuncias muy bien en español; andI am spanish speaker, learning english by watching your vides ;)
Have a Prius. The way all of the lights came on certainly smells of 12V AUX battery/charge circuit. There are not many reasons so many different systems could be in error at once unless it was related to AUX bus. Hope they figure it out!
very happy you got back safe nik. rest the knee for a little then figure out what lies ahead.
Nikki you’re the best. So inspiring
I love how you love life!! You’re pure, completely genuine & your adorable personality is addictive…thank you for all the laughs too!!
Yeah
I've never loved life like this.. don't think I ever will...
This world is nothing to be happy about. What a mess.
This world makes me very very sad
Hi Niki. Just watched the video again. A few months ago I saw an investigative news show on tv where the dealership guy near Toronto took the customers car overnight and went on a joy ride to another city for over 100 miles. The owner just happened to know the mileage when she dropped it off. Hmmm. Makes one wonder??
Trade your Prius for Van. Yes, a Van. You will be able to moves around better, sleep better, eat, Chang clothes, wash up, prepare meals, the list goes on. Camper will love the extra room too. See if Toyota has a sienna or something bigger than the Prius. Hope all is well, feel better.
My Son absolutely loves how much Camper loves his grandpa. Stay strong and much love
That was so fantastic to see! Good people! 👍❤️
The Prius has taken you so far through so many adventures, it's time for an upgrade methinks, think of all the space for activities!, your parents are the cutest, such a lovely family, all the best and stay safe!
I love camper he seems like the perfect pup. 😊 Best of luck to both of you, happy travels!
8:53 You need to buy an insect repellent! Avon Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil also works! It is not a bug repellent, but it works!
I think you should upgrade to the Toyota Sienna hybrid awd, you and Camper could use the extra space
Don't forget to like subscribe and share with ALL your friends!! Also PLEASE consider buying Nikki and Camper Delventhal a Snack 🥨😋 for the road 💜💙🧡
As a latin man, I must have to say you have chosen the right language to command another living creature, and if you add a Sandalia/Chancleta, you could rule the world as well. ¡¡Pura Vida!!
nikki your videos are just so awesome to watch. I find them very relaxing after a long day of work and what not. I enjoy your adventures as do us all!!. Keep up the good work.
Get a van. Prius suck. My friend had one, rotted away around them. They're junk.
Nikki, if it is as 'simple' as a misdiagnosis as your knee then fix hotel Prius...but sometimes relationships just end up costing us too much and we need to bail out, if you get my drift!
I love watching your adventures ms meeting new challenges … but I’ve just taken delivery of a 2012 Prius V Level 5 with only 92,000 miles and can’t help but think you’d appreciate all the extra room inside … a little wider, longer and taller. If you need to replace rather repair … look at Prius V before you make a final decision. The V is everything you know and love about your present car … and so much more! 👍😊
But lower MPG
You should test out the Toyota Rav4 Hybrid and Honda CR-V hybrids, they come in four-wheel drive which may help with your off road adventures!
OMG, Camper’s reaction to seeing your dad is the sweetest, most pure thing on the internet!! 🥰🥰🥰
Agree with every comments of getting a new car/bigger car specially having Camper. In my opinion, some may not agree since you've been through thick and thin with your lovely prius, a lot safer. But whatever you decide, goodluck & hope your knee heal soon. Take care & stay safe
Here from a Levi & Leah video. Not disappointed. Definitely subbed.
Considering what you’ve spent keeping the Prius going needs to be rationalized against the expense of getting something newer. Thanks for the scenery!
Lived in Virginia all my life and when you said, "Weather changes so fast here." I couldn't help but laugh. Running Virginia joke is you have to be ready for all seasons when you leave the house.
Like Florida. Can't complain about the weather, cause it's always changing. Except for August. It's just 🔥 HOT.
Since I found you accidentally a couple months ago I had been systematically working through all of your videos, and they are also.
I wish I could live the life you do, but right now it's simply not possible, to living vicariously through you and your videos is great.
I have watched multiple videos now, including this one, where you had to get the prius fixed.
The prius set up is great, and I can understand why you're in love with it, but it may be time to consider that you might need to retire the poor girl and move on to a alternative.
Since you asked what we think, I think it's time for something new… Or at least new to you
there are no accidents- an old tortoise from a great movie
I love your videos. Please do a whole video on what you buy, cook n eat. I m not a cook n thinking going full vegetarian. I love your tips on food on some of your videos.
This is a fun idea! Totally will
Keep this in mind!
I thought of this, as well.
OMG!! The look on your face when the music started at the campground in Virginia Beach is priceless!! Even with all the car problems & your knee, you still have a smile on your face. Love watching Camper do his thing. Take care.
Maybe it’s time to consider a hybrid SUV?
How many miles do you have on your Prius? I believe you should get a good used car if possible!
Have you ever thought about driving all To Mexico through all the states in Mexico
WTH the prius so called breakdown doesnt even appear until the last two minutes and then there is really no real content on it, tho it is in the name of your video.
Maybe Camper already knew Spanish and for the last year he has had no idea what you were saying? ;)
Love to see an upgrade to Van life. Like one of those converted 4 wheel drive ambulance 🚑 . I know gas isn't cheap and it's not as environmental as the Prius but I find those Ambulance conversions to be some of the very best Van life vehicles.
Comes a point when it is in your best interest to up grade if this is to be your way of life for awhile longer. Tap into the wisdom you need.
Well I told you so about Fort Fisher - though you were probably in and out already before I suggested this on your other video. While I won’t dispute your top 3 for Wilmington, I would add a 4th must see even though there’s still a lot more to experience in historic Wilmington, NC. My suggested #4 would be the Battleship North Carolina. There are only 8 battleships remaining in the US, so it’s a relatively rare attraction. Oh and for the record - the remaining battleships - all museum ships now - are: Massachusetts, New Jersey, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Alabama, Texas, Iowa, and Missouri. Good luck with the repairs….
Oh I’ll keep this in mind!
I hope Prius life lives on… it’s not even my car and I have an emotional attachment to hotel Prius 🤣🤣🤣
You backing up to get the camera was good! (Hope you get better soon and don’t have to do that much longer!!!)
And CAMPER!!!! That wiggly bum when he saw your dad!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
🥰🥰🥰 thank you!
Light a candle and turn off all the lights. Like a moth to a flame, this works.
Holding out positive thoughts for your Prius and decisions ahead.
Peace and healing vibes as your knee continues to heal💗 belly rubs to Camper 🐾
There’s so much to say, but know I’ll forget something. So you of the mind that Camper is learning Spanish from you?!? I’m guessing his previous owner was a fluent Spanish speaker, but could no longer support having him and was set free to find a new and loving home. I actually believe Camper was already bilingual. So were you not offered a removable cast to immobilize your knee while relaxing? The thoughts that cross my mind during those freeway backups, if it wasn’t at rush hour, is I hope there wasn’t a crash with a fatality. And sometimes delays are course correction in your life to put you in the correct time and space, because something of an unforeseen issue would have occurred had you not been delayed. Oh it’s too bad, I didn’t know you had a decadent sweet tooth. I would have directed you to a donut shop if I was sure covid didn’t cause it’s closure. It’s called psycho donuts. It has the best and most creative stylized donuts I’ve eaten. The Dead Elvis, rock road, road rash raspberry, strawberry fields forever, and many more that I can’t recall. Then there’s Harris Ranch rest stop restaurant. Their store has some delicious lemon bars, and Boston crème filled crème puffs, and eclairs. Yum yum, nom nom nom ahhhh! Oh and grass fed great cuts of steaks. Perhaps if and when you come back around and trek through California. Will you be in the market for one of the brand new all electric vehicles from Toyota? I wonder if they would give you one so you could review it for the entire time you’re on road through all the conditions you would put it through on a daily basis? Wouldn’t that be fun and exciting. You could charge your generator using their solar panel roof! Oh, you know if you had a 40” longboard cruiser skateboard, you could have Camper pull you to aid you in getting through those long walks in the parks you visit. Just make sure you get one with the wide wheels for going over pebbles and sticks for long distances, and not the smaller thin wheels for doing tricks. There’s a guy in my neighborhood that does that with his dog. He flys by through these streets. Just watch for pot holes. Well you made it back home in time for Mother’s Day to a very warm welcome and on the last legs left on your home on the road went kaput. What’s the verdict regarding your knee?
Loved reading this. Noted on the donuts haha! Knee is still in recovery - today was the first day I could bend it without pain so there’s some hope the PRP worked 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
You took the car to the "Stealership"? You need to find a good reliable independent mechanic who loves Toyotas...Like Scotty Kilmer (check out his youtube site!)
I knowwww. I don’t know any reliable hybrid specialists in that area. 😭😭😭
NIKKI - - In this video of yours - - I think that - - 13:42 TO 14:07 - - SAYS IT ALL !
Question: is there any chance that the green fuel nozzle at 12:50 was diesel? Green usually (but not always) signifies) diesel fuel. If that was the case, there could have been enough diluting gasoline in the tank so that it would still run, but not well. You can get away with 5-10% diesel contamination, but more than that will cause more serious problems. Asking because it seemed like the problems arose immediately after that in the video.
I was going to ask the same thing. Looked like a diesel nozzle not only in color.
If you go back to PDX have a 💙⭐️🍩4 M3..
can you send me one or two free t-shirt's.. i am from India. :)
my opinion, the prius is a great running joke, I just can't imagine it for more than two nights, even with a dog's love. Please get a horse and wagon, like a Gypsy. New running joke and not yet done on You tube, plus a new pet whose opinion we could get on how things (you) are doing. just saying
Omg A horse a wagon 😂. I have always wanted a horse tho 🤔😂
A breakdown is my biggest fear with van life stories. (That and accidents.)
Hint about all the bugs in the Prius. You have that excellent vacuum. Use i/as a death trap to suck up as many as you can. We use it in ours. It shortens our time on the killing hunt.
smart!!! Totally doing this!
How many miles on your Prius ?
Damn, you were able to flawlessly place the camera with a messed up knee, great job and I hope you feel better soon!
Thank you! It was a tough job! Haha
Get well young lady!! I myself recently recovered from a sciatic nerve injury and I must say, it sucked! would love to have you and Camper come through vegas and hit some trail. I love your positive energy.
Camper is super cute ❤️❤️
2:00 Congratulations! Camper is a genus! 👍
I am a New Yorker and I concur with you Nikki. The most batshit craziest drivers live here. I hate driving here. Between the jaywalkers, potholes, the double parked cars, the crazy left turns, people driving onto your lane, it is a very anxiety inducing experience . Also forget listening to music. You gotta stay focused so you don’t die!
Next stop, Tesla y ftw . Glad you overcome your obstacles with smiles
Love your videos! Though I would say in my experience when things starts to go bad on an older car, they quickly become a money pit and unreliable. Given the amount of time on the road and remote areas you travel I think I’d be planning on upgrading soon.
Awesome Video! 👌
Your content is so enjoyable, inspiring, funny and moving. I'm hooked on this journey. You're a great storyteller. And Camper is awesome, so smart and sweet and loyal.
