Well done! I’m envious. Now…fire extinguisher? Smoke detector? Carbon monoxide detector? Flammable gas detector? I’m a retired firefighter medic. I know people who have put those detectors to the test. They were glad they had them. So I’m a fanatic. Enjoy your van🎉.
Leaving Death Valley, watched a Class A burn to the frame, at Stovepipe Wells RV park. The owners watched helplessly. Thankfully they survived. But they stated that barely got out with their pets. You have the "been there, done that" experience. I appreciate your concerns I am a retired Trauma Resus RN, 33 years. Burns are one of the most devastating injuries. Not enough narcotics for THAT pain. .
As a van lifer myself (Revel), I am so happy for you Nikki!! I started watching your channel years ago when you were in your Prius, and you have been through a lot and have found your way from the sardine can to the van! :). During the years you had your Prius, I always thought you needed a Van JUST LIKE THAT. Now you got it!! I love your custom touches also, I've been around and seen a lot of custom builds, and yours is over the top! They could take your van and offer it up as the "Nikki Model" and I bet they'd sell them like crazy. Looking forward to your future adventures! No go break that thing in!!
I have a genuine question, when having break downs and stuff do you guys usually have some general knowledge of what to fix/replace , idk I have terrible luck with cars I feel like but would love to Try the life !
@@bobbyg5236 This is a brand new Mercedes Sprinter. For Nikki specifically I can't say for certain but I don't think she's a mechanic. However closing in on 700k subscribers I'm sure that routine maintenance won't be an issue to keep this going strong for many years. When her Prius started throwing check engine lights and codes she still drove it until she could get it to an actual professional. Eventually you can only push a Prius as hard and far as she did.
Great build - congrats. One tip for you to consider: MAKE SURE CAMPERS CLAWS CANT GET CAUGHT IN THE SIDE STEPS. A lot of them have holes that allow a dog claw to pass into a hole and get torn off by the dog’s momentum getting out. Extraordinarily painful injury for the dog and takes them out of commission for walking and hiking for weeks. We glued a bit of indoor/outdoor carpet onto the side step of our 4x4 Sprinter to keep our dogs safe.
I just bought a 22 170 4x4, and the first time my dog jumped in the side door, she stuck her back leg into the gap where the door slide goes. As much as I've looked at the van, I've never noticed the gap. I'm getting a ramp for her because she injured her back even though I was right there and grabbed her so she didn't break her leg. She's doing great on the meds, and the vet said she has a muscle strain and no broken bones. Now I'm looking at everything to make my van dog safe.
I obsessively planned my build for 3 years before actually buying the van and starting the build. I'm very proud of how thorough my plans were and how well it works for me. After seeing your new van, I know where the bar actually is. Fantastic build!! I'm sure it was very expensive but worth every penny. You and the builders did an amazing job.
My dad full timed for awhile in a class A and I I have to say your van is better thought out and equipped than most RVs I've seen! One of the biggest challenges of RV life is moisture. It looks like using marine grade materials is going to work out very well. I wish you many many safe and fun miles in your new rig!
Wow Nikki I'm seriously impressed by your new van build. It has everything that a person could need and your input really shows. Love the queen bed, the storage and closets, the shower, the pet friendly upgrades, the kitchen, the tanks...OK just everything about it including the color. It's literally the best build that I've seen yet.
They should offer your build as a standard package and call it the Nikki D! It may be tailored for you and Camper but has the versatility to suit almost any serious vanlifer. I see many awesome adventures in your future with this beautiful beast!
Speaking of dog friendly, how many amps does the a/c pull? I travel w/ my dog and am looking for an a/c that can be run while the vehicle is off and that doesn't pull a ton of amps
@@kristyb3714 All AC units use a ton of juice. Even the smallest units need a huge battery bank and over 1,000w of solar. You need to do a lot of research to figure out the math.
Qualty producton, upbeat everything, total fun & entertainment - a standard that you keep raising higher each video. I generally watch your videos 3 or 4 tiime, and by the end of each - I am totally a fan again. How do you make everything seem so easy!??? I love you, Nikki. Like the songs says, "You're so fyne, you blow my mind!' Thank you a millon to Camper.
Beautifully done. Love the shower & toilet inside. There is no way you had all that in your car. You went shopping, didn't you. Thank you for sharing with us. I hope Camper really likes the space and comfort.
Would never have a fixed rear bed but I'm really impressed with OVP's attention to detail and I actually noticed some items I've never seen. Congratulations! You've earned this!
Nikki this is just an unbelievable build and well deserved ! You’ve have helped so many to embrace their dreams of freedom in this lifestyle. Bravo and blessings for all your future adventures and please give Camper a kiss and hug and pets for me . ❤
Nikki, I just love your free spirit. I think I've watched all your videos and your journey throughout the years. I've always said and commented that you needed an RV. I'm so happy that it came to fruition and truly compliments your lifestyle and a comfortable home for You and Camper Boy.
I'm so glad you got your van back! I am following your vehicle upgrade project from Prius to van, watched the videos with your mom and Sarah, then skipped ahead to this one where you finally show the reveal of the long, arduous project! Sooo happy for you, Nikki! Living your best life NOW! And I'm soo glad you even have a toilet in there! Wow!
Outstanding! You’ve done the research along with 3 years of experience. You’ve created a perfect van build plan for the rest of us. I just discovered your channel, I’m enjoying your adventures with Camper.🐾
May your new home be blessed with good times, good health, good friends, and all the comfort you have been working so hard for. So happy for you and Camper! 🎉
This is the ultimate Van ! I was so glad you pretty much have a full bathroom on board, toilet and shower were huge ! Now you don’t have to do those truck stop showers. After that Prius, you and camper must feel like you’re living in a mansion. And you still get to wherever you want. Enjoy all your adventures in your new rolling mansion !
After many days of sacrifices that people maybe haven’t seen, so happy you have your dream home and you were able to get everything you wanted in there. I’m in love with your van. OVP should name this mode with your name and sell it that way. 😎
Have to say this one the best builds I've seen to date. Can't see anything that was missed and love some the custom elements (i.e., pullup bar), especially the shower! Kudos on that one! The only things that weren't completely visible were those handles on the back. If they aren't reinforced, they might break over time or if someone larger were to pull on them. Otherwise, that's about it. Looking forward to the periodic updates on how all the equipment is functioning, especially the air conditioner and battery system. Safe travels!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!! I’ve been anxiously awaiting the reveal and, WOW, that is the coolest, most thoughtfully designed van I’ve ever seen. Congrats, Nikki! Can’t wait to see all the adventures you and Camper will have in this beauty! Happy trails!
I m so happy you finally got your new van! Now you and Camper can live your best life! plus I m glad you and Camper are reunited as he prolly missed you as I m sure you missed him! he is such a sweetheart! too bad that rotten skunk sprayed him! Cheers!
watched your show for a long while, congrats on being able to get to this point from those years of sacrifice in the prius and hard work on yt! great to see how far you've come
I love new custom built Class B RV tours, and this was a good one. The highlights are the Victron system, and that "no extra space" shower was the star! For those complaining about no bathroom, a cassette toilet is actually a great option, the are very convenient.
What an incredible build, literally a dream spec! You can tell this has been designed by someone who lives in a van rather than uses one just at the weekends. So many small details that I'm sure make a huge difference if you live in your van full time.

This is SO exciting. Shows to go you when you have the right team and you measure twice and cut once, you get things done right. Looking forward to future adventures in your new home!
What an incredible use of space and an actually practical layout for full-time living. The shower setup is perfect for occasional use when you just can't get to a gym or truck stop shower, and honestly, an "emergency only" toilet is probably a good thing. Who wants to drop a deuce where they cook & eat on the regular? LOL I know some will disagree, and are willing to give up valuable real estate for a permanent shower/toilet room, but you clearly put a lot of thought into the design to meet YOUR needs and travel style. Very well done!
First of all, Congratulations Nikki, very lovely home-on-wheels. You worked hard for this home for you and Camper. Camper looks to be very happy and proud of his new home as much as his mummy. **Second, to those wanting to live in a Van or home-on-wheels due to choice or for economic reasons; please don't feel down about seeing something so grand/expensive as this. There are many NO-BUILD homes-on-wheels videos out there to help everyone get into this lifestyle. Bob Wells has a lot of good videos to help people in this area, Van City Vanlife in his early videos, Minni Van Lee, and Nikki here in the beginning of her channel, etc.
Nikki I am so happy for you and Camper 🐶 Congratulations 🎊 May you both have the time of your life traveling and exploring the world, making fabulous memories. Safe travels 🙏 💕 🫂 🤗
You can really see her experience living in vehicles before doing this build. Also, while I love aesthetics, in such a small space it’s nice to see a functional space that’s not for the gram, but will actually hold up.
Congratulations on your new Van,its an incredible design,I can see everything you buy for the Van can help promote the companies that assist you in the van build yours is a true work of art with excellent real life experience !
I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!! This is incredible to witness and I can’t believe you have your dream rig in possession!! Wishing you all of the very best adventures for you and Camper!! This is a win for the people who care about you! So glad to see this
All of your sacrifices and hard work have paid off. Can’t wait to join you vicariously on your continued adventures. You guys did an amazing job designing your van. Happy Trails❤
Congratulations Nikki! The van is fantastic. I loved the personalization touches. They're just your style. This is a dream van. I hope one day to have the opportunity to experience a van like this on a big trip.
I’m crying. I’ve been watching you since you were in a Prius. I am so emotional right now. I got my first mercedes sprinter high top a few weeks ago and I’m not full time in it but I would like to be.
Hi Nikki, Since before you started your channel I bought a VW Touareg to travel, but since the day I bought it, I had issues with my plan. The first day I bought it someone drilled a hole in my gas tank and stole the first tank of gas I put in it, then while I rebuilt the front suspension, other issues popped up, a never ending amount of issues. I spent a ton of money on it to make it road worthy but it just kept failing. I sold it for a tenth of what I had in it. I started saving money to do a van build from zero. I had an opportunity to buy a tiny house in NW Arkansas. (You traveled the AR area close to where I bought). Last year I finished paying the house off! I didn’t get to travel as much as I wanted, but thanks to your videos, I got to see places that I have more on top of my list. Thanks for filming your travels, enjoy your new home!
I have been interested in NW Arkansas for a tiny house.....I see really nice lots in Bella Vista that seem suspiciously cheap.....do you know what the catch is if any? How tiny house friendly is that area? Thank you - I hope you reply
Congratulations Nikki & Camper!!! Happy & excited for you two & can't wait to see what adventures you'll embark on!! This amazing vehicle was built to your specifications & will bring you lots of Comfort, Adventure, Joy & Happiness!! Enjoy & be safe!! On the road again!!!!
I don’t know why I find it hysterical that after Camper “skunked”…next scene: he’s on a long leash tied to van! Hysterical! Love the new home! Absolutely awesome!!
Congratulations Nikki and Camper! What a fantastic piece of machinery that is ironically an incredible home as well! You're going to have so many more amazing adventures and i can't wait to watch each and every one of them! Stay safe and be happy!
14:44 finally someone has done it.👏👏 i've been watching van life videos for two weeks now and theorized the best shower is somethign close to the kitchen sink and a van door. the curtains though, too light and flimsy. I have an idea how to make the curtains better but saving it for myself until i monetize van life.😅 free tip: the fix induction stove is still a bad idea, not only has higher risk for breakage, you will not able to utilize the stove for cooking outdoors.
I love this van the lay out is amazing congratulations on ur new home on wheels & I love the top of ur van aswell & mostly I love how excited u were all ur hard work & planning paid off & ur dog is beautiful & looks like they love their new home as much as u do again congratulations & happy & safe travelling ❤
Congrats! I know you and Camper will go on some great adventures together in it. I was really hoping you would share with us what the rig cost! For those of us still in the dream/planning stage, it would be really helpful to know. :)
Really amazing how much thought and effort you put into it. Never imagined that you can fit this much in a sprinter van. I hope you and camper will have a great time in your new home!
Hello Nikki, love watching your show and your energy. I live in Australia WA and that off road van would be my dream home. I love and support the RV world as an alternative lifestyle. Keep smiling and big hugs to camper.😊
@@flyingsquid42 yeah. Home is where the heart is. There's tons of hearts under the bridge next to my house. They are still considered homeless. Living in a car is homeless. You sound intentionally dumb.
OMGOOODNESS!!! That van is perfect for living life on the road!! That is a dream I WISH that I could be living, myself. I LOVE nature and I LOVE traveling and you have the best of BOTH worlds Nikki. Now THAT is an amazing life worth living!! 😊🙏
I was a week late on this video (Oh no!). Love the van build. Drinking game: every time Nikki says "strategic". Amazing how you took everything you learned from the last couple years and various vehicles and now have them in the most convenient locations for every day use. The Delvenhauler is perfect. Looks like you have everything you need and want in a van. The build is so amazing and so strategically built for your life. So nice to see a company build what you need/want/specify vs the cookie cutter vehicles most of the rest of us have. You will surely modify it as you go when you find things that need changes, but the options you have should make that very easy. No one taught you how to be what? You are out living like you want, in nature and beautiful places and the positive attitude you exude is very sexy. Cant wait to see where you take this thing. Lockers/true 4x4/lift/air, lighting/huge batteries... this build is amazing.
Following you through your travels, upgrades, and life changes has been extremely fascinating! I only hope I have the opportunity to meet up with you one day and enjoy your stories personally!!
Well done! I’m envious. Now…fire extinguisher? Smoke detector? Carbon monoxide detector? Flammable gas detector? I’m a retired firefighter medic. I know people who have put those detectors to the test. They were glad they had them. So I’m a fanatic. Enjoy your van🎉.

You planned that build perfectly. You even thought about Camper when he gets older. That's awesome!
I've never seen a custom van as beautiful and functional as this. You have so much to be thankful for. Fun and safe travels.
Is this more efficient/ sustainable than RV would you say ?
They should offer your build as a standard package and call it the Nikki D! It may be tailored for you and Camper but has the versatility to suit almost any serious vanlifer. I see many awesome adventures in your future with this beautiful beast!
Maybe call it The Delventhal Special.
I've never seen a van tour that included an under the hood tour. Really impressive. Thanks for sharing this, Nikki!
Congratulations Nikki! Seems like yesterday you were giving us a tour of the Prius. Nice seeing a dog-friendly layout 🦮
Speaking of dog friendly, how many amps does the a/c pull? I travel w/ my dog and am looking for an a/c that can be run while the vehicle is off and that doesn't pull a ton of amps
Best part is Nikki knowing she's a badass dork... hilarious slo mo

Great job! It's very obvious you put a huge amount of thought and research into the new van and it looks fantastic.
14:44 finally someone has done it.👏👏 i've been watching van life videos for two weeks now and theorized the best shower is somethign close to the kitchen sink and a van door. the curtains though, too light and flimsy. I have an idea how to make the curtains better but saving it for myself until i monetize van life.😅 free tip: the fix induction stove is still a bad idea, not only has higher risk for breakage, you will not able to utilize the stove for cooking outdoors.
I love it! Love watching your adventures ❤
When I started watching you, you were in the prius but you literally made your ideal home a reality! 🥰 you are so awesome
You deserve it, Nikki.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Everything except the skunk smell :p
She don't deserve that,
but it IS hella funny!!
Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great afternoon!

Just watching it makes me feel happy. And it helps me study English.
Nikki, Im so happy for u. I’ve following you since you we’re living in the Prius. You and Camper are so cool and my favorite van life channel. 🎉🎉🎉
So so so happy for you, Nikki. I cannot wait to see you & Camper make the rounds in this work of art! Congratulations!
I’m so happy for you Nikki! Safe travels

Hi 👋
So happy for the both of you. The van looks awesome.
Congrats! I know you and Camper will go on some great adventures together in it. I was really hoping you would share with us what the rig cost! For those of us still in the dream/planning stage, it would be really helpful to know. :)
I would really like to know how much the van cost as well!!
I’ve watched this twice. My head would explode if I had to make all those decisions. What a great build!
Love the van! I love that it is short for parking and tall enough for you.
Your new home is amazing! They did a wonderful job in building it. You'll have many great adventures in it.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
Really amazing how much thought and effort you put into it. Never imagined that you can fit this much in a sprinter van. I hope you and camper will have a great time in your new home!
Thank you! I almost didn't think it was possible either but I was determined=)!

What was total cost of the van?
I followed for a while through thick and thin and you and Camper deserve that awesome van. I love it.
Hello Nikki, love watching your show and your energy. I live in Australia WA and that off road van would be my dream home. I love and support the RV world as an alternative lifestyle. Keep smiling and big hugs to camper.😊
Hello 👋 how are you doing today??
You saved up $300,000.00 to do your van build? Way to go.
So how much $$$__???,000.00_?? Looks like it cost more that the house I purchased in 1981. And about what I paid for a house in 2005.
can we all just celebrate how she took such a big risk in life to get here. Salute.
You have an award winning personality! Love it!
Wow your HOME ON WHEELS is AWESOME. I LOVE IT. GREAT DESIGN!!!!🎉 congratulations you deserve it!
What they don't tell you about these vans is they cost as much as a house.
Well if you think about it they are people's houses on wheels
Camper went right to the front seat to sit to look out. Oh my gosh. I’d have a stroke if my dog got sprayed like that right with my new van! Geez!
She’s going to need a bigger water tank. With an indoor shower you need at least 40 gallons tank.
Need a back pack for camper to ride with you.
It's so cringe that people are trying to glamorize homeless living. Way to accept mediocrity!🤦♂️
But she has a home? Do you know the difference between house and home? 😅
@@flyingsquid42 yeah. Home is where the heart is. There's tons of hearts under the bridge next to my house. They are still considered homeless. Living in a car is homeless. You sound intentionally dumb.
Douche... You know nothing
You have done it! Hard work does pay off! May you find joy every day.
The fact that you built your badass van with Camp in mind is awesome 🐶💕🐕🏕 Congratulations!
Congratulations Nikki you deserve this. You help me through some tuff times. Thanks you be safe.
Congrats! Well deserved! From one of your favorite fans! Love you & Kamper❤
OMGOOODNESS!!! That van is perfect for living life on the road!! That is a dream I WISH that I could be living, myself. I LOVE nature and I LOVE traveling and you have the best of BOTH worlds Nikki. Now THAT is an amazing life worth living!! 😊🙏
Nik is such a love.
I was a week late on this video (Oh no!). Love the van build.
Drinking game: every time Nikki says "strategic".
Amazing how you took everything you learned from the last couple years and various vehicles and now have them in the most convenient locations for every day use. The Delvenhauler is perfect.
Looks like you have everything you need and want in a van. The build is so amazing and so strategically built for your life. So nice to see a company build what you need/want/specify vs the cookie cutter vehicles most of the rest of us have. You will surely modify it as you go when you find things that need changes, but the options you have should make that very easy.
No one taught you how to be what? You are out living like you want, in nature and beautiful places and the positive attitude you exude is very sexy.
Cant wait to see where you take this thing. Lockers/true 4x4/lift/air, lighting/huge batteries... this build is amazing.
Following you through your travels, upgrades, and life changes has been extremely fascinating! I only hope I have the opportunity to meet up with you one day and enjoy your stories personally!!

Congrats!!! Luv your well thought out van build! I am also envious 😊 You and Camper should have a blast in your new home!
