So glad you met Justin! You guys are perfect together.
Me too!
What are Justin's dogs' names? The 4 dogs are fun together.
@@wordwomanHank and max!
Super names! 😊
It's so cool watching the two of you together. Everything is easy and genuine when you have someone that loves and makes things fun.
🤮
Truckers on long haul use diesel heaters. They use outside air for combustion and have been used for many decades. Because they recirculate the interior air, they don't add outside moisture. However, you still need a method to remove the interior moisture resulting from people (and dogs!) breathing. Adding a dehumidifier to your setup will solve this problem. Additionally, there are carbon air filters that can be added to the interior air exhaust line to remove odors (from doggie breath, etc). After our first long haul camping trip, we did this with our camper setup to make the air breathable again from the dogs, children, cooking, and diapers.
How nice to see Justin, again. His affection for you is evident. Better lock it down before he sobers up!
Um, ok. But i, trucker, use the Big diesel engine. It is outside of the cab though. Under the hood. There are vents in the dash that heat comes out of. There's also a separate bunk heater which is electric. Runs off the batteries which are charged by the Big diesel engine. Just saying😎
You don't need a dehumidifier if you run it the way they are.
I’m so happy to watch content that is uplifting , informative & entertaining! Nikki, you shine light every time I see you on my screen. It’s such a nice break from the airplane tragedy and the seriousness of politics in the world. I’m so grateful for you on so many levels! Sending love always! I hope your family is doing well ☀️ ❤ cheers ☕️
Glad you found someone that makes you happy 😊
Yep, do you suppose he has a brother, I'm game.
Love seeing Justin in your videos. You got a great one. He has a servant heart!
U2 compliment each other, Justin is on the shy side and u have such a outgoing personality. Both have the love of the outdoors and dogs! Justin will make ur channel better!❤❤
I'm so glad you met Justin. I'm crying right now seeing this love develop. Tears are streaming down my face as I watch this love song. My heart is full and bursting with joy.
Nikki, so glad you have found a great partner to share your life with. Justin is a good man and very knowledgeable in the building trade.
Very happy for you! Enjoy!
LOL dude caught a free ride
AZ Sucks
Fun video! Always a pleasure to see Justin. Glad the diesel heater worked out.
You and Justin are the cutest! Love your banter, playfulness and how well you work together. What a great camping trip. As always, thanks for taking us with.
You are such a good team and enjoy the outdoor life and the dogs.....you were made for each other! The heating worked well, and I cannot believe how six of you fit in! Justin is an amazing cook, and even gets up first and makes coffee....is there anything he can't do? Lol.
When I see happy dogs, I see successful campers. You guys have scored! Congrats. Of course, winter camping is another issue. To successfully winter camp is the ultimate in winterizing a life. So far, so good. Good luck, and keep smiling! 😃
After you toast your marshmallow, roll it in mini M&M's. Also, using cinnamon graham crackers and adding a sliced strawberry..... AMAZING
Omg Justin making you coffee before you wake up!! Did not want the video to end!! Enjoy seeing you 2 together
You Justin and the dogs 🐕 look so happy camping together ❤️ 😄 ☺️
You, Justin and the pups are so cute together ❤❤❤❤
Having gone thru 4 rv’s and 4 trucks (up to an F450), I can tell you that heating has to be done with either radiant electrical or gas/diesel forced air. In your van you have hydronic which also works. You can’t “burn something” inside and get dry heat. My Aliner was propane furnace, the Jayco was, the pilgrim was and so was the Carriage. Never had a frost issue
I love watching your channel when I’m having a bad day with depression you’re videos lift me up
As much as I wanted you to be my daughter in law I'm very excited to see you with Justin. I could see the sparks the first time you showed him. I'm so happy for you both and I love watching you two transition your lives together. Sending you much love ❤️
Just got awkward lol
She has a single sister and a gaggle of single cousins. Maybe you can ask her to fix your son up. Or you can wait until these two lovebirds break up after Justin spits out the gefilte fish at her parents passover seder and says I ain't eatin this Jew food , give me a fuckin pork chop 😂
Nikki, baby, as someone who constantly makes fun of you, I sincerely say - this woman does not lie. I can see it, reading what she writes. A good mother-in-law is precious.
Madam. I read your comment with great respect. I must say that the decision about choosing a life partner should be made by a man. Not a woman at all. It is as true as a plate filled to the brim with juicy steaks. Next. Mrs. Tallouse. Two points. The first point is Justin. Nikki shows this tough guy on TV. This is not a sign of something serious. Just a show. The second... Madam, who is your son? He should at least like Nikki. At least. I will be very angry with him if he starts playing with Nikki and then leaves her. Greetings from Russia.
@@TambovWolf1989Justin is dragging down her views with men 😂😂😂
Great video! 🛻❄ Winter truck camping definitely comes with its challenges, but it looks like you’ve figured out a solid solution! The tips and tricks you shared are super helpful, especially for those cold-weather campers. Can’t wait to see more of your winter camping adventures. Stay warm! 🌨😊
Such a good idea to fix the heating problem. You could build a compartment to house the heating unit with ventilation. Can't wait to see what you come up with see ya next week be safe and happy travels
Years ago I started bringing Keebler choc chip cookies for the s’mores when we camped…just add a toasted marshmallow. Other good options to use with Graham crackers: a smashed Mounds bar or York peppermint patty + the toasted marshmallow
I see Camper walks softly and carries a Big Stick ! 😂
Thanks for sharing your travels. I am glad to see you met a nice gentleman who likes to travel with you. In addition to the blessings of a partner, I was always a bit concerned for your safety traveling alone. I hope you have a great time together. Blessings.
Rolos pushed into the center of the marshmallow, toasted over the fire, then (??) So good!
Hello! I have been watching you since you were in a Prius, you're how I learned to car camp! I don't miss an episode. He seems like a great guy, and the fact that he can build stuff is a huge bonus! Why not get a big RV or motorhome and do renovations videos. Then you will have something you can all fit into in one rig.
Love this video! You and Justin are perfect for each other and your fur babies are amazing!! Please get a Carbon Monoxide detector for your truck and one for your van.❤
What fun, truck camping with Justin and 4 dogs. Really pleased the heater worked out better, can’t wait to see the upgrades x
The doggos all snuggled up, so cute! You two are also so cute together!!❤
Nikki! You are so inlove! I've never seen you so happy and giddy. Love is in the air. Congrats and keep that fire burning....
Just found your channel. Really glad to hear you both touch on the dangers of propane heaters which I don't feel many North Americans do, given the popularity of them there. Nice work. 👍
always enjoy seeing Justin make an appearance on the channel, seems cool and humble
Rigging your truck took some careful planning and measurements! That’s neat really !
Sleep upon top with heat in the winter ! I like it !!
And bucks deluxe. A motorhome would be good for them.
So funny and classic how Justin gave her a middle finger on the video and how he feeds her like how you would feed those sweet loving dogs like an awesome family!
Also what a great outdoor tips and ideas. Thank you for sharing your videos !
I am happy to see that you are all happy together. Was smiling the whole video. Thank you for sharing. Love from Italy ❤🎉
The food Justin made looks amazing. Y'all are freezing me. Good night to you and the doggies.
You and Justin are quite a match - super seeing you both so happy.
So now you need either your own dog shelter or a place in the desert with hot tubs . Nice with warm food instead of salats ;)
Stay safe ❤️ Take Care 🇩🇰🇬🇱
Diesel heaters are definitely the way to go. You can rig up some inside power with accessory battery and can pug in heater while inside. Heater could be under the wood platform and stick hose through hole in platform 🙂
An idea on the condensation problem, rice, a large plate of dry, fresh rice. It absorbs moisture and you can cook it in an oven and reuse next day.
Great heater and food! The truck build looks good. You had yourselves a 4-dog night!
I use a Chinese diesel heater on my boat works pretty good. I want to get a bigger one. It was to replace my webasto diesel heater which wanted £100 for a glow plug, I could buy a diesel heater unit for the same money so swapped it out. You can get red diesel which is 0% taxed for 75p vs the £1.49 a liter at the fuel stations. I have boat tours on my channel if you want to see them in action.
You guys really make a great couple! And I’d love Justin’s two dogs! They look like total sweethearts
I love the way you look at each other! I know the video was about heating… but I had to mention it. ❤
Smore tip:
Replace the Hershey's with your favorite fun sized candy bar. Then you can get the chocolate taste, but also carmel, nougat, peanut butter, or whatever else is inside of the candy you selected.
S’mores hack. Peeps for the marshmallows. The sugar for a crispy crunchy coating. We call them the crème brûlée of marshmallows.
I like your intro change up to include your partner Justin. ❤
I like the word partner and inclusion of his dogs. You are building a nice family.
Greetings from 🇨🇦
Oil lanterns give off great heat and warm light and are safe, small kerosene heater using k1 with some pine scent are also excellent. And safe. I did see that using kerosene in a diesel heater lengthen the life of the heater. Be safe.
“Don’t worry, I got this.” 😂 Love this episode guys!
Carmello smores
😂😂😂 thanks friends! Can’t wait to see u on the road again soon!
@@NikkiDelventhal Same! xo
When we go camping, we bake double chocolate chip cookies and while the cookies are hot, we do our marshmallow. It’s amazing.
🤤
@@harpospest genius!
I guess you probably didn’t see my last comment, but I did tell you that a tray of silica gel cat litter like Mimi‘s cat litter from Walmart which is the cheapest will take care of all of your condensation problems. That’s what they tell my grandma and all the other retirees at her retirement trailer park in Florida. Yes, they actually do still need to use heaters in Florida. 😂😅
Mimi’s will solve everything for you, though! You just have to keep it cover it with a screen or something so that your dogs can’t eat it at all. But yeah, that would 100% fix your heating-condensation problem. 😊
The moisture comes from the products of combustion (the flue). If all that is vented outside of the combustion space, you don't add moisture. Plus, if you pull outside air, heat it, and put it in the conditioned space, if will have a very low relative humidity, and dry the conditioned space. When you used only the electric blanket, you were not drying the space. Your breath was the source of humidity. It condensed because the walls were very cold (think ice tea glass in the hot summer).
this looks like tons and tons of fun espically with the dogs who look like they had a ton of fun even playing outside together before get ready for bed and your dinner looks 😋 congrats 😊... awsome super cool video 😊...
Thank you! The dogs had a blast and so did we 🥰
The difference between propane and diesel heaters is that diesel exhaust is super toxic so all diesel heaters have a separate chamber for burning the diesel and separate one for the hot air used to heat up the space. Propane only generates carbon dioxide (which is toxic in high levels when it displaces oxygen) and water vapor which is perfectly safe, so many propane heaters don’t separate the burner from the warmed air (which makes them more efficient and also produces moist air that is preferable in some case but horrible in others. There are propane heaters that have separate chambers and are very common in most RVs. These produce “dry heat” like a diesel heater but are a bit more expensive and thus most portable propane heaters are non separated chambers.
Correct using the words dry and wet for propane vs diesel is just incorrect. It's the style of the heating system that determines this.
@@shawnd567 Well said!
You two are adorable together, happy adventures! ❤
I really like the new heating system - genius idea 👍!! I’m curious on the temperature differences of inside vs outside… If you guys decide to test it again….would you be able to show us with a thermostat?
Besides of wanting to do everything out in the cold weather, your body is it’s own heater with either the right cold weather clothing or cold weather sleeping bag. Exhaust fan may help with the moisture, not sure how much colder that would be. Maybe mini wood heater with punching a hole for the exhaust? Don’t forget blankets or sleeping bags for the dogs.
I love your statement “ and Camper already ripped it up for us”….. so funny😂
Very nice, you kids seem to have a fine system. Nikki feeding a dog a treat, then Justin feeding Nikki a treat, may the circle be unbroken.
I want what you and Justin have.
I’m so happy for you Nikki.
Have A Good Weekend Nikki Delventhal And Thank You.
Yeah, that is sweet, almost wish my side glass on my fiberglass camper shell would open like that that is super cool👍👍
my Hcalorie heater is wonderful. i got it 3 years ago for $90 so i bought 2. still using the original one and never had to clean it or do anything except i run it every month on high when i'm not traveling or during the summer.
be cautious with the buddy heaters. I do have one, but always bring a CO detector with me, even before i lost a friend to co poisoning 3 years ago while using one.
Thanks. I was wondering about that when I was thinking about buying one.
@@RoMo0276 sorry for your loss. I nearly lost my parents to a CO poisoning a few years ago, and ever since, I refuse to sleep anywhere without 2 CO detectors. That stuff is scary!
if you continue to go out as a group you might look into an attached room that can hook up to the back of p.u. trucks with caps
Neat shakedown of equipment!
Great layout of the truck for compartments !
The diesel heater looks like a game changer ( heat and no ice inside ) ! Cool setup !
Nikki you are the bravest adventurer!! ❤
Nikki is such a little puppy dog around Justin. Love seeing someone tame her a bit.
The cookies are the only way to make a s’more! The Keebler fudge stripe give you a traditional s’more with only two ingredients. You can also use there peanut butter and mint chocolate covered cookies. My favorite are the “coconutties”. I can’t remember their actual name but they are like the Girl Scout cookies but Keebler makes them. They are a chocolate and coconut cookie.
I be honest Justin and you Nikki have such a great chemistry❤❤
I am impressed by all your " boys"❤ Nice truck build by the way. That is awesome. Like your man. He's a good one!!! Chef included?..... wow.😅
I’m jealous of Justin I thought 💭 I could have married you and Camper 😢.From your friends from Down Under ever since you were living in your Prius and you found Camper 😍👋🏻
Such a great couple with great puppies!!!
Propane emits water vapor when burned. Bad for tents (condensation), or trucks in the cold (frozen roofs!). :)
S’mores - Have you tried the different marshmallows- some have Chocolate, Salted Carmel , Strawberry ..etc.. they are delicious . The best is the chocolate/ strawberry one 😊
Ghirardelli chocolate squares, the caramel ones in particular are soooo good.
I love watching your show. Thank you for the adventures vicariously.
Being a couple on the channel by having Justin with you just took the channel to a whole different level. Your views are about to go crazy.
Love seeing you all together!! 😍🙌❤❤...
You can get an insulation lining for those tents !!
Hey, if it says water-resistant, that’s what you do, is stick it in the water, right? I relate to that. 😂😂😂 Beautiful night sky, by the way!
15:41 We love you Both. Watching from the Philippines 😊❤
I really like Justin…great smile….and you are so happy…take care you mob
Do you use balm or anything on your dogs paws to protect from ice and snow? How long can dogs tolerate exposure before getting frostbite?
My dogs don’t stay out long, I limit them as they’re sensitive, maybe 15 min at a time but they’re also great about letting me know when they’re done :-) - Justin’s dogs are snow babies haha grew up in these conditions and I swear they just don’t get affected by the snow or cold, it’s insane haha! But we still check them and force them to take paw and warmth breaks. The van is consistently at 65+ so we put them in there while we’re filming often and it just doesn’t get put into the final video haha 😁
11:45 love the doggy stairs 😍
By mistake, instead of buying plain Lindt dark chocolate, I purchased the Lindt EXCELLENCE Orange Intense block. We don't have Graham Crackers in Australia, so I purchased a packet of Arnotts Nice (that is the name of the cookie) cookies. Wow - it was so good!!!
She’s breathtaking, I can’t look away.
I have some doggie boots I’d love to contribute to the doggies 😃🐾🐾🐾
Chinese diesel heaters for the win. Bring a spare, different brand 😊😊
I pick up stick candles at thrift stores, work great for starting fires.
Great video! Something for everyone. Love the camping tech. And love the relationship goals.🍗
He is a keeper!
Here is your campfire pro tip - Swiss miss or nestles hot chocolate with a touch of Screwball peanut butter flavored whiskey. Talk about a delicious adult flavored reeses cup drink! Justin is a perfect match for you Nikki. God bless you both. 🙏
Another fabulous episode! I loved seeing all the gear too, can’t wait to see what they do next.
Where did he get those steps? I have a F-150 4×4 and have been trying to rig something up. Y'all make a great couple by the way!
I’ll add these to my Amazon list of links! Thank you!
Van is the way to go. Truck maybe for a one-nighter.
I've always really enjoyed your YT content, and can absolutely appreciate how you're evolving your channel into an equally interesting and cool channel. 👍✌
Thank you! It’s always a worry for RUclipsrs when the channel changes and evolves that people won’t grow with you, and it truly warms my heart that you guys are enjoying the journey together with me!! 🥰🥰🥰
Justin and Nikki show!!! Loving it!!! ❤️❤️❤️
We are so spoiled! The best episodes are with you and Justin!
You sure get some great sky time lapses! Upload those clips and you'll get a lot of views!
