Hey Friends! I hope you enjoyed this weeks video and tour of the van before we move out! It was brought to my attention this weeks audio level was low! I apologize for that this week, it seems there was an issue with the upload and I didn't notice until it was too late! Human error buttttt, Camper said he'll make sure he's on audio from now on ;)! HUGS YALL! See you next week!
I cranked up the volume lol it worked😊 safe travels. Say hello to Camper❤
@@alextavares8705 hi
It's all good! Saw you were in my home state of Idaho (Boise) about 2 hours north of me in Twin Falls! Can't wait to see adventures in your own rig!!!
Bad Nikki, bad Nikki. Camper, you must punish her.
hooooyeeeee😂
That indoor shower is brilliant!! One of the things I constantly wish I had in my Freightliner is a shower (which some trucks do have, especially for truckers who haul very high-value items and can't leave the freight - they have to have totally self-sufficient sleepers so they can easily remain in/ with the vehicle at all times). I go out of my way to stay in truck stops that have shower facilities where I have points, which can be a major source of stress because those tend to be the most crowded truck stops. If I had a shower, I would be much more likely to stay in rest areas, which are often SO much cleaner and have better space to exercise!!
PS- I just had to edit to leave my obligatory comment of love and admiration for Camper ... I'm here in my truck talking to him through my laptop😂😂he is just the MOST lovable boy!❤❤
The AC and heating systems are absolutely bad-ass. I love this rig. I don't even want to know what this luxury setup would cost. Aww, snoring puppy!
If she wants to tip, it is up to her. I cannot believe the debate over this. I worked a gas station in New Jersey, when I was younger. I got tipped for good service. It did not happen everyday. But, it did a couple times during the week. I was always grateful.
#Grateful my favorite word
Yeah that's what a lot of people misinterpret. Tipping is for quality of service not service rendered. Why tip someone that gave you crap service just because they gave you service.
Camper is the luckiest dog in the world except that you don't feed him Pringles.
It's one thing to tip when I want to because I loved my experience, it's quite another to be hounded about it. Please read my response to Niki's comment in my comment if you want a different perspective. No one ever said, she can't tip and we have every right to say we're not going to!
My tip for the day is - do not eat yellow snow.
That's the way it used to be- gas station attendants, they would pump your gas, wash your window, check your tires and even look under the hood if you ask them to! That was a long time ago but I'm thrilled some states have brought this back, I had no idea. Love Camper, he is the best companion anyone could have- excited for you getting your new home🐇
I remember this from my childhood. Late 70's-80's. Then all of sudden people started pumping their own and no service techs. It's a shame really.
They didn't bring it back. It never went away in those two states.
I think those states do it for safety. I think it’s a good idea. Part of it could be to encourage people to buy things at the gas station. They started putting so much for sale in gas stations. From souvenirs to food and drinks etc.
Camper is a dog lover's dream come true. He adds so much to your experiences across the country!
You havnt met my cat, that Furry little shits been to Africa lol
He seems like a really easy dog to take everywhere.
You must be new to the channel lol
Nikki is a human owning dog's dream come true. Always something new, and always in the presence of his human.😊
@@timkaldahl when he would try to jump off a cliff after chasing a squirrel? This girl has worked hard for him to be the pup today. Nothing about their relationship has been a dream. Although he’s been a blessing to Nikki
The van looks way cool, but I'd only use the inside shower in a real emergency. Our trailer has a full bath, but even with hookups we'll use the campground's shower and keep all that humidity outside of the rig whenever possible.
i can not get over how a Gallup rez dog has gone sooo far and done soooo much!
I’ll be honest with all the issues you have had with this van I don’t think I would be going to Overland. I thank you for the honest review
That’s ok! But I will say all issues that I came across had nothing to do with overland and their building - It was a series of unfortunate luck on actual parts that again, had nothing to do with the builder. Lol
Honestly, I thought the same thing. 😬 The features were super impressive, but the van itself seemed so far from dependable, I couldn't justify it.
Oregon native here, and fellow Sprinter owner. You can pump your own diesel anywhere in Oregon, just not gas. Most places will fill your diesel tank too though if you want to wait for an attendant, but sometimes when a station is super crazy its nice to have the DIY option. For those interested, tipping is not required or expected at gas stations here, but if you get awesome service (like Nikki did) it is certainly appreciated. Safe travels!
Yeah, I recall driving through Oregon in my Sprinter and also fueling up myself. Diesel is not as flammable and also from what I understand is that there were cases in the past where the attendant was not paying attention and fueled gas in a diesel, causing damage.
And all the other states you pump it yourself.
A tour of them building it would be pretty damn cool.
Hello, I am one of the viewers of your UA-cam program, I always follow your emails. I live in Australia. The time of your programs in Australia is usually 2 or 3 in the morning, but I always try to be among the first. I am watching the program, I like your lifestyle very much, your dog is very cute, how's going everybody I'm Nikki denventhal and this is my dog camper denventhal😉😁 😅happy Easter 🎉🍺🍺🍺🥂🍪🍷
Loaner van/camper has lots of cool features. Bummer that reliability wasn't one of them. Hopefully, your new one won't have that problem.
You didn't talk about engine. It is the heart of every vehicle. I remember you had unexplained engine lights.
Over the years if noticed women don't care about engines, as long as it gets them from point A to point B. Engines aren't cute.
Hope you will be Happy in your new Camper Van. Love From England xx
The suspense!! :) I have been happily and patiently waiting for the reveal. We are going to rent a camper van for vacation this year and traveling for a few weeks. You're inspiring.
I can’t wait to show you all! Ohhh that’s so exciting, I hope you have an amazing trip!!! Thank you🥰🫶🏼
Have a wonderful trip!!
Tell me or us, this Camper ever complain about your snoring???
I’ve noticed while binge watching your videos since I discovered you 7 days ago. That Camper is like your own little bodyguard, he is always looking out the windows as your parked and making videos. It’s like he is on guard, he needs a little black suit & sunglasses 😂
Thanks for the tour and sharing Camper with us all in UA-cam land. Yes, we are eager for your share of your van build. Hugs!
Love your videos! Love the life you and camper are living. Looks like a blast!! Be safe and enjoy.
Yes. I spent 2 years in a 14' travel trailer with all the bells and whistles, including solar on the roof. Used pillow covers to store lots of clothes, linens etc.
Hey Nik! Congratulations! Loving you and Camper's journey! Hope you are well!
Camper; just as adorable as usual! ❤🐕👍 So glad to see he's on a balanced diet! So many diseases start in the dog's mouth with bad gums. Having something good for him to chew on helps prevent those kinds of things and keeps the teeth clean. Makes sense that you would show the features of the rental van _after_ you've had a chance to get to know everything and optimize the features. I'm sure you new home we'll have many of the same things integrated! How exciting!
Nikki & Camper !
Awesome to see you two again.
I really, really hope they don't stick you with a lemon of a heater like is in that van you have now.
Stay safe and warm. OXO
I love that Nikki and Camper eat the same thing😂
Happy Easter Weekend Nikki and Camper. You’ll stay safe but have fun on your travels and adventures. Love watching the videos ❤
Roof decks are neat, but I recently learned that they can disqualify you from getting some insurance policies. A van-dwelling friend with an E-350 hightop had some difficulty insuring her van with reasonable terms and cost. She did eventually find a policy, but one of the conditions was that she could never have a roof deck. She doesn't have or want one, but it was interesting that the insurance agent made a point of specifying that.
I can’t WAIT to see your new home!
You Both are so wholesome!, Safe Travels!
Thank you both ✌️🤟
I absolutely love your sweet boy, Camper!❤
I lost my sweet, Australian Shepherd, baby girl, Shelah, last June, after being with her for nearly 13 years , so it really warms my heart to see your sweet boy Camper , in your videos. I still have my Ferlin the Ferret, who is also a sweet boy, but I will probably adopt another aussie soon. I had my Shelah from eight weeks old, so she was a really special girl, but can't wait to provide a good home for a shelter aussie, as long as it will be good to my ferret as Shelah was.
Can't wait to see your new van!
I Love when Camper sits in the front seat Like the Buddha Dog that he is, excited to see you in your new home. ❤🐾✌
Happy Friday! Love the van and can't wait to see how yours turns out!:)
First time watching one of your videos while I’m in my van at the beach with coffee and nice waves 🙌🏼
Love Camper's Gung Ho Let's Go Mom Attitude from his Shotgun Perch 😂😂🤣🤣
If your swinging through Wa, it's Tulip season here in the Skagit Valley. Swing by and check it out.
Such a pleasure to be chaffeured around by Nikki delvanthal,so many views,so many opportunities for squirrel anxiety so many different vehicles,thanks mom!😅. Much love Nikki ✌️♥️🇬🇧
New van! Keep up the good work! Inspirational!😊
Great job on the video Nikki! Thanks for making it.
That van is awesome and I love the build. I will definitely keep them in mind. I know the heater thing wasn’t their fault and they did a great job taking care of it! Good luck I can wait to see the permanent one. So excited for you guys ❤
so, so next time you’re in Boise on a Sunday morning, the riverside hotel actually serves a massive brunch buffet made to your order and they allow dogs!!!! They have amazing art exhibit all throughout the hotel, main areas and restaurants and they support local artists which is really nice.
Your hand measurements seem super precise. 😂 I'm so sure that 30 gallon pantomime was super accurate!
You’re glowing, Nikki, absolutely captivating! Your adventures with Camper are so addictive! Currently in FL but was born and raised in CT (Norwich) just like you! That being said, you can leave your scrunchie in my truck any day! 😉🔥🌹🍷❤️👑🦮🐾
Hey there...I was raised in Norwich, Connecticut too. Nikki is from the rich end of the state, LOL!
@@karenhellier8790 That’s AMAZING! Small world! 😉
Thank you for the tour of the van. It looks like a really good build by Overland. I will have to check them out once I get mine - and yeah, I'm moving back to Oregon, so this will be so much fun!!!!! Looking forward to more info on this van and of course - seeing your new one.
Was great to see Snow in Eastern OR. Looking forward to seeing your van build.👍
Nice video! Voice audio is too quiet though.
Happy Easter, always a big fan of your adventure
I love the way camper is watching out while you talk
Nikki - so excited to see your personal van. A guy in the comments remarked that the ghost electrical problems could be caused by improper grounding to a painted surface.
Time to become a junior mechanic so you don’t get stuck places with systems going down. Looking forward to seeing how you decorate your new home!
You are an inspiration for women on the go. I like your substance over form regarding travel.
Can't wait to see the new sprinter all finished!
I can’t wait to show you!
I have enjoyed your videos going way back to the Prius days. Being a fellow Prius owner I can understand your choice for more room and modern conveniences, but with convenience comes complexity. With the battery and heating trouble you have had I was surprised that you did not mention it and the repairs that were needed. Great van lots of cool features, but things break and wear out over time. I loved my Prius and how minimalist it was. Well " to each his own right" be safe and looking forward to seeing the new rig.
Awesome video as always Nikki and Camper. Can't wait to see you awesome new van.
Absolutely love your videos as always, smashin' the like button! The incredible smile and energy, attention to detail, production value, along with the chill fun vibe that you have going on *chef’s kiss*
Also, Camper really is the bestest boy!
Good Friday morning Nikki - and Happy Easter Weekend. I'm sorry to hear they're taking back the van, but in the meantime you're still looking great - fit and fantastic - and I'm certainly looking forward to more chronicles of your wonderful nomadic adventures living and camping in the Great Outdoors throughout 2023! . 😍🌼😎
This van is on loan while they are building in her new van.
@@christinaeager4418 Thanks Christina for letting me know - and I hope you're doing well.
You have the best copilot ever! Thank you for all the info about the van. I always enjoy your road trips and visits. You and camper are awesome.💞
Stay safe all the time & Happy Travels,Nikki & Camper✌✌✌
I CAN'T WAIT!!!! I bet you can't either! 😂 This is so exciting and I can't wait to see the new van and your next adventures!
Same!!!! It’s sooooo amazing!!!!
@@NikkiDelventhal Ya know how when you get so excited about something... all the butterflies in your stomach and you can't stay still... I have that! 😂
I'm just curious why you don't have camper in a seatbelt , halter belt when in passenger seat. You're like the best mom ever so I know you've got your reasons, i'm curious. I was in a bad car accident ( not my fault)with 2 of my dogs, I normally always have them buckled in but I was literally going 2 miles down the street with a friend, unfortunately, we hydroplaned and wrapped around a telephone pole. My friend was seriously injured and so was 1 Of my dogs. I ended up rushing her to the Emergency vet versus me going to a hospital first. I'm very blessed that we were able to save her. And she lived several more years, She just ran crooked as she had fractured every vertebrae in her neck. I was told she may never walk again and she needed 1of her legs amputated. I ended up Treating her myself and I was able to save her leg, Through physical and massage therapy, I did my own studying and eventually got my license. So for several years I was an animal therapist, and I helped save a lot of animals from what could have been a put down situation. I believe in my heart sometimes she might have gone through that suffering so that I could save others not just her. She was an incredible beautiful being and I cry over her to this day. I have been rescuing since I was three years old I presently have Five dogs in a cat and many more in spirit. There is absolutely no judgment here just curious because of what I went through ever since then. My animals are always buckled in. She was in the back seat and was thrown forward into the passenger floorboard so hard that it almost killed her. I like you love my Fur babies they are my life They literally are the closest thing we as humans can get to unconditional love. God-bless you and camper we love you so much.. Stay safe cause we would miss you if you weren't here every friday. ❤
So sorry you, your friend, and dogs went through that terrible crash...
Wow! So sorry that happened. I will start in putting harnesses on mine & find a way to secure them. Thank you for sharing your story. No one else needs to suffer needlessly.
Yes, she should have camper in the back, if there are airbags they could really hurt him even kill him if deployed. She needs to have a seat belt harness also. I don't understand it.
I’ve brought it up myself, it’s dangerous for her as well as Camper, but surprisingly still let’s him roam around the vehicle!
Does anyone have some links of what we can buy that will work to secure our fur babies?
Hello Nikki, let me introduce myself to you, my name is. Joe Robert I'm a country boy born and raised in Arizona just to let you know I'm adventures and I love to explore the country side and the coast line, always did my camping, fishing, rafting and so on. Being an truck driver for 15 yrs use to make runs to Clackamas and Portland Oregon every other week...... Beautiful country. WOW !... I love ur sense of humor, your spirit, your soul , your Heart are full of strength and energy
. You go girl, do it, do it. Have a wonderful day, say hi to camper. ... bye bye 🐕😃🐕

Great tour … that Van has it all! So excited for you to collect your new home! 💜🤗🌞🇦🇺🥂
Such a cool van! So many features that I didn’t know of! So many fun adventures to be had! Love how Camper enjoys it right along with you!
See how much they cost and you'll buy a Prius.
Another great video by two of my favorite people 😎⭐️🤩❄️
I love her personality. She is so genuine. 18:49 so sweet!
Oh my gosh I have been waiting patiently for this video. Cant wait to see the new rig!!
Cant wait to see your new rig! So excited for you and camper. BTW he is such an adorable companion. He has really claimed his front seat as his own.😂
the bar thingy is called a "cup washer" i know crazy! lol anyway I LOVE THE RIG and cant wait to see you get yours! awesome content and ive enjoyed watching! I cant wait to build out my own rig!
I like how camper innocently looks out the window. Good luck on your travels. 😊
Love your videos and how you obviously value the van and take such good care of it. 🎉❤😊
I always love seeing you drive through Oregon. It is my home state. I grew up in Oregon and still live between California and Oregon depending on my schedule and as an Oregonian I will say… you are not expected to tip your gas attendant! While it might be a nice thing to do, it is not required and not expected so if you cannot afford to do it (and most of us can’t) then don’t. Also, the new fuel law that was passed in 2018 basically allows you to self serve in gas stations located in rural areas where they are unable to have attendants on duty after 6pm. Of course some stations are allowing self service even though the law doesn’t apply to their area but for the most part it is still illegal to pump your own gas in Oregon which comes in handy on rainy days. 😁😁🤓. I won’t lie… I will sometimes just get out and pump my own gas and be done before the attendant even realized I was there but that motivation is reserved for days when I really need to get on the road and make good time. Lol.
Oregon is my home, too! It's fun to see Nikki and Camper driving in our beautiful backyard roads!! You can't beat oregon for beautiful views and good vibes!!
Love it, my dream camper van 👍👍💖
Thank you for sharing, everyone stay warm, safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Always enjoyable, your zeal for life is uplifting, and your dog is a real champion
Still watching the domestic version Nick an Camp.
Awe , the day she (they) finally settle down.
I love your video's from Michigan! 💜
I like how you talk for Camper. Puts a smile on my face! That way you have another voice to talk with.
Camper loves the snow! Stay safe and drive safe.
yea I'm sure you will be happy to turn that van in seems like you had your share of unwanted issues with the loaner hope your van will work better for you
Ahh lucky wishedbi could travel in a van with nonstop destinations & would electric work for a van 😊
Just love watching you two, makes my day. Stay safe, there are some insane drivers out there.
I think a lot of us wish we could travel and see what you do. That's why we enjoy your videos.
Hello Nikki, nice to you again, you and your dog are having fun together you made mel augh hahaha
Awesome job Niki thumb up
I can't wait to get back on the road!!!!
Love this video Nikki. Awesome giving a tour of the van your home and Campers. Love it looks beautiful. Your furry baby boy Camper is so adorable and precious. He has the best mom in the world. You are both meant for each other. Love watching your videos with Camper. Sending lots of hugs and love your way. God bless you both. Love you both!!!!♥♥🥰🥰😍😍😘🐶🐕🦮🐕🦺👼👼🙏🙏
Nikki the audio on this one is a bit low.
Your sound is really low today ❤🇬🇧
Ahh thanks for that feedback something must have happened with the upload !
As always your videos are just simply top notch. The audio for me was just fine. Love seeing you and camper and that breakfast sandwich you had in Boise, it looks out of this world! It just made me hungry! Keep up the good work. Much love and good vibes from NC to you and Mr. camper!
Now that’s a van build. Love it and I want one now. Can’t wait to see your new van.
Can't imagine how that chance encounter in the desert changed Camper's life.
And Nikki's as well!
In the recap; I just noticed the hot wheels pillow case in his rig, which I gotta say is AWESOME!
Edit: Wasn't sure you knew, but if an incident like those red leggings happens again, lululemon will replace your leggings long as the style/color/size is available, or so I've heard.
Already commented via Patreon, but that 'bar thingy' is a "Faucet Glass Rinser" I'm "Asperger's" and words matter when I try to communicate. We love you fellow two-legged pack member. Give Camper a big hug for me. He's the related four-legged member of my family member known as Matix (another "pink nosed Staffordshire Bull Terrier"). He was our daughter's dog but circumstances meant he was our Summer Camp attendee from time to time. Matix passed last year but he was a dear soul I miss greatly in my life.
Our next vehicle is the "Launch Edition" Aptera (3 wheel EV). We'll rely on that as our two person transportation vehicle rather than a home on wheels.
Good plug ; your gift in presentation was effortless. Oregon is currently debating about ending gas service. Good luck with your new vehicle.
Hey Nikki and Camper,
Enjoyed the vid as usual but I have a question. Do you have to pay more auto/ van / truck insurance due to it being lived in and if so how much more would you estimate?
Thanks and I hope Camper isn't too sad without you!
Happy safe travels! ox
Growing up my daughter would wear flip-flops out in the snow as well. She is such a silly girl!❤
Awesome video! Your doggy is so cute! You both are amazing together!
Absolutely love Camper ❤ such a great companion
That breakfast sandwich looked delicious. What all was on it?
Audio is super quiet compared to usual
Wow that van is awesome! Can't wait to see the one you built!!!
I can’t wait to show you guys! It’s SOOOO GOOD!
Super rando question bc I have struggled with this w my dog (not living out of a vehicle though): when you were living in your Prius and it was hot out and you need to go inside somewhere and you couldnt bring camper, what would you do? I assume now you have temp control in the van. Sorry if you went over this before, there’s a lot of videos to wade through!
I had climate control in the prius but more often then not paid for a dog walker or sitter when he couldn’t come - or wait til evening to shop when it was 100% safe
