- čas přidán 5. 08. 2024
- In Florida, my car broke down, I backed up into my grandparents garage (haha) and my little Camper baby got surgery on his hernia all in the same week so with that we had some free time on our hands and we had to empty the car out for the fix. What a perfect opportunity to show and tell every little detail, of living in a car, after years of trial and error and experience! PS. Camper's recovery is going very well!

Since I was a little girl, I’ve wanted to “live mobile”. On my school bus rides home from school, I’d sketch what I would make the bus look like if I got to live in it. I kept this TOP SECRET! I thought people would think I was so weird for pretty much wanting to be, what would have been considered then homeless. Turns out my entire generation was thinking the same thing!!
After my dad died, I inherited his Suzuki 4x4 Sport and drove to the West Coast looking for work. Ended up living out of it, camping by waterfalls, rivers, lakes, beaches, in grand forests. I had a good time that year, but it was challenging at times. Once I got used to it all, it was very liberating!
"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery. From one gallon jug showerer to another, good stuff
He's so focused on everything else going on around good security dog
I was saying the same thing
Hes a natural
I am totally amazed how much Nikki can pack into that small car.
Rule of thumb....buy a car for what U and your lifestyle required period. Most ppl can do with a 4 door hatch honestly.
most of the world considers that a big car, we are spoiled rotten in USA with our Hummer size mentality.
@@sunshine5349 in my part of Canada, hatches still rule.
@@vicp8772 I agree a 100% back especially in 50s-60s Families had station wagons to Current the family around Seems like a lot of people nowadays seem like they need more and therefore station wagons would be perfect for people or four doors but a lot of people think that having those cars means you have money when in fact that is not true because back in the 50s and 60s especially even before a lot of people had those cars weren’t very rich they were just families That needed those vehicles and they could get them real cheap brand new from the dealer because back then the prices for a car were cheaper than what it is today And not to mention that those vehicles were built with more quality
@@vicp8772 Sad and I hate to say it but I feel that nowadays a lot of people judge a book by its cover and value you on the items that you own If you are on a four-door car you’re probably rich and if you don’t want to four-door car just a two door car you’re not very rich and if you have outdated furnishings you’re most likely not rich but if you have prayer new items that means you probably are worth quite a bit of money which often times cannot be true because there are some people that are very rich but make enough money to survive and are able to buy themselves a new TV in certain new items for their living room and other rooms and they’re not rich they just want new stuff
Two things are evident. She's very pretty and happy with her lifestyle. Cool.
The girl is truly very beautiful. She can easily have a model as a career. But the great thing is she is living her best life now. Keep it up, girl.
@@myytchannel6632 I think the average age of a model is about three years 18 19 and 20 then you are put out to pasture to live in a Prius
🙄👎
@@angiemanges7945 awe how sweet to love her nomatter how Delusional she is
@Jorja Something about lesbians doesn’t look attractive to me! I’ve been living in my van for three years
Watching you pack all that into that car is like watching a artist create a work of art. I have a pick-up with an extended cab and I'm not sure if I could fit all that in there. My hats off to you.
Holding her best friend so lovingly
Awwwwww
I do not currently camp, own a Prius or a dog but your channel was suggested to me last night and I have been binge watching your vids. You are a ray of sunshine in this doom and gloom era. Get well soon Camper 💝
@@thewalkindude7716 same, living the dream tru them ahah
She’s lying, clearly ...
@@thewalkindude7716 the lady who says she lives in her Prius... She’s using the power of Simps to support and her husband/Cameraman/ Main Simp... otherwise she would show her husband.. but she doesn’t because she knows only men will donate to her fund... Us men are sick and tired of these tricky b******
@@delchoppo8070 LOL, you weirdos and your "simp" language. I'll bet you call the vagina a "pee-sleeve"...why you so angry at a beautiful woman. INCEL alert!!! Angry at something he can't have!! INCEL ALERT!!
@@thewalkindude7716 don't engage these freaks.
Camper really does look right at home. Hes helping you live your best life ❤
You fit more in that Prius than I’ve seen packed into full RVs or vans. That’s impressive!
I'm amazed in her beauty not only in her looks but her beauty on living life and enjoyment in what she's doing...
Camper is like a big , cute baby! Lucky dog!
How can you say that about camper this witch took him to be snipped
It really is cool how that dog, camper, found you and you became so very best friends. Blessings.
You really believe her... she’s a clear con artist
@@delchoppo8070 Oh I see. She stole your dog. Sorry.
@@oldgoldgetter lmfaooooo
bit like the film red in oz...blessings too
@@oldgoldgetter 😂😂😂
I just love how Camper came into your life! Thanks for taking him in! You both needed each other! Love it!
I agree
I love it when Camper talks. He cracks me up!
You are so well organized, who will need a large house with so much organizing skills?
You are a true expert at living out of your Prius. The utilization of all the available space in your car is amazing!
I would like to chat!
GET DOWN - GIRL!!! That jackery and solar panels are the bomb!!!
May GOD continue to bless YOU with the very best and also keep you safe out there. Lastly, with all due respect, you will make someone very happy one day.
You are so perfectly thick, smart , witty and have a great sense of humor and personality! So free... love it!
You and camper are beautiful together. Thank you for your energy. I can't stop watching your videos.. I'm going to purchase a 1998 Tahoe and converted into a camper. I'm old school.😁🐶
This was FUN just listening to you teach us!! I can't wait for "Home on Wheels" life!!! 😊🇺🇲👍
Campers a lucky doggy to have such a nice mommy
That's such a good idea, about the not going grocery shopping when the sun is up because of Camper
Nikki & Camper. You are so funny, why has no one snapped you two up to present a dedicated educational outdoor channel. I love watching you and your sassy moves(the dance with shovel).Think how many parents struggle to pack their cars after grocery shopping while the kids just sit there moaning. Anyway I've been putting off tidying my things. Now I feel you've set me a challenge. So I might be the first person in England to have a roof box on my shed. Keep safe & covid free.Paul 💖
One of the most efficient set ups I have seen, and I have seen them all! So many genius ideas, I'm definitely taking notes, thanks Nikki! 🤗
Living her life to the fullest and looking beautiful along the way! Gotta love it!
Camper has the most awesome facial expressions, gotta love him!
So thankful that you troubles wasn’t worst. Just to let you know you are in my prayers. Be safe God Bless.
She’s clearly lying... look how nice that neighborhood is...
Holy Moly!!!! You need to be an engineer to pack the stuff, a tech wiz to use all your gadgets and 100% organized or you'll go insane. LOL
Camper loves his house and mommy.
You and Camper are so cool! Awesome living! Way to get out and appreciate the good things in life!
Camper is totally loving life
I'd trade places with camper right now. Shortened lifespan and all.
Nah my guy is definitely missing his balls.
Camper needs his own channel with him narrating his adventures. "Don't forget, like, subscribe, turn on notifications, share with friends"
How dare you you’ve been sleeping on the job we want you to get your ass out there and start shooting these criminals And cleaning up our streets
This is the first video I've seen of yours and loved it. Camper is so fortunate to have found you, and vice-versa. Loved watching your tips for living in a car. Stay safe!!
I'm relatively new to your channel. I realize a lot of your packing techniques are out of trial and error but You've got this down to a science. I was in the military for 20 years and spent a lot of time on the road, so I get the whole minimalist aspect and everything you have has a use. Well done! Hope Camper's surgery went well. Safe travels! Take care.
Years of trial and error LOL! Thank you!
We are preparing for a trip to Texas to visit one of our daughters. While we may not be camping in our Honda, we can all learn from you organization skills and how to utilize all available space in a vehicle. Another fun vid, thanks Nikki!
can’t believe how organized you are.
HI Nikki, Dansko shoes makes outdoor shoes/sneakers that are waterproof. They are really comfortable and lightweight too. They have an outlet in West Grove, Pa. where the shoes are about 50% off retail. It's located in between Newark, Delaware and Philadelphia. If you're interested, the next time you are in the area stop by.
Love that you used the vehicle you had and that Camper was so smart as to pick you out! Your energy and sense of adventure is contagious.
When I see your videos they always make me smile. Love your cheer/modeling moves.
Will u PLEASE do a video on hiking shoes and climbing shoes... also some of the items a person needs to go hiking and possibly climbing...some of us haven't a clue where to start.. if u decide to do one will u show or tell us with different price ranges? Ur channel has become my favorite!! Always informative 👍
Oh yes I’ll add this to the list! Next time I do a big hike I’ll explain all the items!:-) Hikinf shoe wise they’re all different based on your foot, I recommend going to an outfitter like REI and trying on a bunch, also cause they have things you can climb up and down to get an idea of fit too! Personally Vasque old style is the best fit for my foot and others not so much but I know many who swear by others!
@@NikkiDelventhal I’m new here and am enjoying your Amazon store AND your replies to comments. Your a tall glass of lemonade & compassion…I needed this channel. Also, still scrolling to see if you mention the “water heater” you showed in the video. I’m hoping it’s not the jetboil as my eyes popped open when I saw the price lol. 🌸subscribed🌸
Another great video! Camper and you at the beginning were awesome. A momma and her big baby. You are the queen of organization and packing.
It’s super cool and neat to see how much you can actually fit into a Prius! It’s even cooler to see the thought that goes into what you’re actually making room for, as well as where you’re putting it. Everything you’ve done makes perfectly logical sense. I LOVE IT!!!! Thank you so much for the video!
You are so organized I'm in awe. Of course what would this comment block be without mentioning Camper, he's so darn cute I just love how you share him with us. Thank you so much for sharing it really makes me wish I hadn't just purchased a house because I would be on the road with my kitty.
Wow, so much time packing. You should have been in the Army. We spent so much time packing our bags, it was ridiculous. Besides, I think Camper would make a great Battle Buddy. Please keep the content coming!!! I love the fact that watching your videos helps out dogs!
I adore Camper!!! And I love people like you who take such good care of your dog. I have 3 and they are my everything and like you I put them first. What an inspiration you are to go out and live life, God bless you and Camper.❤️🙏🏻❤️
The onesie really caught me off guard lmao.
That is an ice scraper! And hopefully you are staying just south of the wild ice storm that is happening throughout the whole southeastern part of the country! Stay safe and have fun and enjoy good old Jupiter Fl. if you happen to visit the doggy beach again. Lighthouse is nice as well. :)
Obsessed with you and Camper’s energy and lifestyle!
I love your setup! So many items fit in such a small vehicle. Also love your energy, Nikki. You go girl!!!😘
Thank you!!!!
I thought I was a master packer - I even remove the air in my spray cans! - but Nikki is at a whole other level!
Wicked cool video! It is very detailed and informative. Your passion and drive for this lifestyle really shines through your videos.
That's the most organized home I have ever seen. Great job!!
One of the most confident, clever practical and smart women I've come across....
Clearly you are a Unicorn and not real
I can relate. I love being alone. Camper is the reason I found your videos. You did great jn a car for rwo years . I'm sure you and camper love the bigger van. I'm a little shaped fir cash right now because of tornado donations and I donate to an animal rehab but I'll do something for camper care soon. I live on 1100 a month but I still love to help out when I can.
I love the prius! Thanks for sharing, You are very organized and have it set up very neatly!
Who in the heck is telling you you need a new car! You’re doing great. Many love to waste money on car. I have my car as well now almost 14 years. No, it doesn’t look as great as yours, but it does the job. Enjoyed the video and great tips here. Thanks so much.
I still have my 06 Sentra that I bought brand new with 233,000 miles and still love it!! 😁
Hi, I still have a Toyota Sienna 98 that I've bought 13 years ago and she is a beauty with almost 300K already and she is a trooper. I might move to Europe soon and I will take her with me.
Her name "Christine"
I am single 48 Argentinian ready for a new life ..
Nikki ? do you team up or ..... somebody ?
@@PR-nq4dt You have been driving! lol. That's great. I only have 138000 miles on mine.
@@micasasucasa3829 Oh boy! I'm not surprised, it's a toyota. I wish you the best in your adventures should you decide to move to Europe
@@justlivelovelaughfrugally
Thank you so much. I am shooting to Costa del Sol and then Everywhere.
I love this, especially seeing the relationship between you and camper , so much ❤️ love
Oh my goodness you are one hell of a car packer, but most of all you must have a fantastic memory. Camper just the most adorable dog.Ii can't imagine how anyone could have abandoned him, but he certainly struck lucky when he met you & your mum. Big hugs to Camper, stay safe you two. Uk
Nikki, you are amazing! Thanks for sharing yourself with us !!! Inspiring for certain !!
Awesome! A lot of these tips apply to my Honda crosstour! I'm turning my Honda Element into a micro camper but the other car drives a lot nicer, so these packing tips help!
I have car camped out of very small cars for years. My Toyota Echo I used to say was "the worlds smallest RV". I loved the gas mileage and the simplicity of camping out of a small vehicle; there is something about developing systems for packing what you need in a small space and living comfortably that feels empowering. I admire how you go even farther and actually use your Prius as a camper! I love your content - new Subscriber!
Another amazing video! I was amazed just how much you can pack in the Prius! Glad to hear Camper is doing well!
Just an FYI: There's been a rash of catalytic converter theft on Prius because of the precious metals, platinum, palladium, and rhodium. The thieves can get anywhere from $375 to $850 or more per converter from scrap dealers but to replace a converter will cost you approx. $2,500. Some people have resorted putting aluminum plate as a barrier to discourage would be thieves.
Heard about that. I too have a 2 gen prius. I hope no one steals my cat. Won't lie, I have driven almost everything... Prius 2 Gen is the best car of all time... No doubt in my mind.
Catalytic converter was stolen from my 2007 Prius last summer while it was being serviced at Americas Tire. Not only did it cost almost $3000 to replace, we had to wait 2 months to get the replacement parts. After getting it fixed, we added a Cat Security shield getcatsecurity.com . According to the local news, the situation is getting even worse and Prius 2nd gen are especially vulnerable due to the design of the exhaust system. Lifting the Prius by 1.5" probably makes it even easier to get underneath the vehicle.
Does the comprehensive coverage portion of car insurance pay for the catalytic converter replacement if stolen?
@@davidshock2259 no.
@@davidshock2259 Sounds like something full coverage insurance would cover. As it would be reported stolen.
One of the best videos, I have ever watch! ❤️❤️
I am 62 with copd but I want to buy a Prius and hit the road with my dog.Thank you for inspiring me.I can see you will be a success at whatever you do.I love how you love life and the fun you exude.Keep doing what you are doing you are great!I love Kamper/Camper!Animals pick their life partners and he saw what I see.It is a honor for a spirit like Camper to call you his friend.I know you are humbled by Camper's love.I am moved that you were open to a love that some will never know.You were right to walk away.Not that you needed me to tell you that.Check Ghost Town Living,he has your heart.
I’m amazed how many things you thought to bring, plus how much is stowed in the car. Definitely, it’s good to be organized. I love it!
I found your videos today and been watching them for hours! Great videos!
10:15 Sounds like you go grocery shopping in the evenings for Camper's sake. Makes sense.
Hi Nikki, always an enjoyable pleasure watching you and CampersVideo vlogs, it puts a smile on my face 😊and brightens up a dull and overcast day, take care and God Bless you and your boy Camper.😊👍🏻
I love seeing the spaces you can use in the Prius! Incredible!
So well organised and super informative - I wonna live in Nikki's World.Safe travels to u both ❤️
That’s awesome I love your organization and the essential things you keep. Keep up the great videos love ya
This is so cool. I was thinking of camping in my Nissan versa. Thought it'd be impossible to be comfortable for the night but girl! Three years!!?!?! You are the creativity queen
You are pretty well organized. I am amazed at the amount of stuff you have and how well you have it situated.
I'm proud of you for being well prepared and organized for your camping. I'm also happy for camper that he's ok after surgery. Regarding of your anti-thef bike system for the rack I think that it's good to have a padlocks with alarm🔒Much better if chargeable operated.. Take care of your journey. Stay safe and I love you also with camper❤️❤️❤️
Y the bike? do you use it? large hitch. get a folding electric for the THULE?
You can use the Order at Walmart and have them bring it out to you, so you don't even have to leave Camper in the car

Talk about attention to detail! Makes life so much less stressful. You are 😎
Really impressed with your layout of the car, so organised 🙌🙌. Love your videos. Good luck to you and your pooch (camper)on your next adventure 🙌👍👍.
What, nothing in the engine compartment! Can't believe you get all that in there. I definitely want to get one of those solar fans. I assume that will be in your weather video coming up. Drive safe and take care.
Sorry to hear about Camper! That'll take some time not to reinjure. Had that issue with my Shepherd when she yanked her hip on tree root.
Omg ...she is definitely the most organized ized person I've seen yet! And who would have known that u could get so much stuff in a prius?!! Good for her, u go girl!
You made laugh so hard with the Camper voice in the intro! Also made my cry with the project you guys created! Love your channel!!
Wow Nikki over 50k subscribers, 🥳 Congrats 🎊
I have recently begun my own journey traveling around with my 2 huskies. I watched a lot of your videos in preparation of my solo travels at 21. You have had some great tips 😊 and also inspired me to begin my own channel myself. Thank you for your tips and inspo ❤️
You'll find that reality is not what this channel makes it look like.
@@closetcleaner This is more true than most people realize. It’s active, hard work living like this.
@@iRunfastXC yep. SOME CZcamsrs create a fantasy, which is mostly followed by people who are struggling, I think it's dishonest. But ignorant viewers abound.
I just enjoy watching your videos and how inspirational they can be!!
You are super organized....I don't think I could live in a car but if I ever have to I will definitely revisit your great videos! I am glad you have Camper he is so cute!
Don't know how I missed this one, but I'm glad I found it!

Put some thought into living this lifestyle the last few months and while out n about have noticed so many more people living this way lately! the car option is definately more challenging but considering the price rise of even a basic used 25 year old chevy astro van that barely runs for $3500 from a reasonable $500 only a couple years ago and a ready to live in upgraded newer 4x4 chevy van @ around $40,000 (Canadian) it is a very realistic option! great tips and advice! thank you for sharing these vids.
How kind and caring you are for saving Camper’s life. I just love your videos! Very interesting. Stay safe.
Thank you!!!!!🥰
Hi again NIKKI
That is amazing!! You are amazing too to be able to figure out the packing remember where things are and assembling all the things you use and might need! Brilliant !!
Thx so much for sharing such valuable info. Stay safe and healthy and catcha next time...
Hey guys,
Sure looks like you have all your packing up to a science.
Amazing how much you can fit in your car!
So interesting. I thought I was paranoid with three bike lock, at least that is what everyone tells me. I figure my peace of mind is worth it. You are so prepared and have redundancies. Have you ever thought of getting a satellite phone or texting service in case you are not in cell phone range? Btw, I always wonder how people sleep on folding panels without damaging them. I hear the cells crack very easily. Thank you for another great video.
Beauty, brains, talented, organize, but most conscientious & compassionate about Life, others, & the environment. Thank you for showing us how.
Nikki, new fan here and fellow single traveling female! Thinking of converting my 2004 Dodge Durango into a camper and you've given me lots of great tips & things to think about. Thank you and travel safe sister! PS.. Thank you for loving animals.
I'm really looking forward to your video on self-defense, since I think it's one of the most important topics when one decides on this lifestyle.
Curious, have you weighed your car after loading it up and what air pressure do you have to keep in your tires? Very through video on all that you need on an extended trip.
You have an ice scraper! I love to follow your videos. Your positive personality is very uplifting. I’d love to try this lifestyle for a year
Ah wow I love this so amazing you found each other, god bless you! All the best for your adventures ❤️🐶
