LIVING in a Four Wheel TRUCK CAMPER after 2.5+ years in a PRIUS, FULL-TIME! Adventure tour!

Nikki. Suggestion. f you go this direction by getting a 4x4, you should learn how to air down your tires when you are off road or on long stretches of gravel roads. Lots of KZbin vids on how to do it. Airing down is better for your tires, will give you better grip, and will soften that bumpy ride you were experiencing.

Hi Nikki, just a tip for off-roading a truck. You need to air down your tires if you’re going on rough terrain in order to soften your ride and it’s good for your suspension. Air down your tire to 20 PSI. Then Air up when driving to normal road. Get the air back to pave and highway driving.

I have what is probably a unique perspective. We own a Ram 1500, a 2010 Prius and a 2022 Rav4 Prime. For what you do, I would highly recommend the Rav4 in either hybrid or Prime. The great thing about the Prime is that you can plug it in (120v or 240v) and put it in "Room Mode", keeping it cool or warm. Good luck finding a Prime though.

Hi Nikki. One small thing to consider before making a final decision on your next vehicle. I have heard a number of people remark that they had previously owned a truck camper such as that, and their biggest reason for no longer owning one was that they found many instances (especially in wet or cold weather situations) where it was inconvenient to have to go outside to drive away from a possibly dodgy spot, or any spot really. On another note, I am sure I have seen your folks and your sister on previous videos, but I was reminded after the last one that 2 such beautiful and adorable women came from the same family. Then in this video I saw your Mom again and realized how that was possible. It is so cool that your Mom is up for these little adventure trips with you. Y'all are lucky to have each other.

[@JamesRichardson3rd]

@@RamJamOverland Everything you say is true, but the 3rd gen Tacomas just look so good when kitted out. I am considering getting a Taco with a ALU-Cab Canopy camper, or an Atlas from AT Overland.

[@rallye81]

@@RamJamOverland between a RAM and a Taco, maybe not in the current market. But kitted out for overland travel, and long term reliability, I hold the Tacoma is the cheaper option. Why? Because I have a kitted out Taco; and I have a buddy with a kitted out RAM; both designed for overland travel. My Toyota has had significantly less required upkeep, failing parts, and aftermarket parts are cheaper. But, if you’re set on a RAM over Toyota, I’m not here to convince you. I’ve already had a smile on my face for years driving my Taco.

[@RamJamOverland]

@@JamesRichardson3rd that’s definitely true. My good friend has a wicked 2018 taco but the payload is just so light on them. He really only ended up with a bed rack with a roof top tent and bed filled with his gear. I personally think with the icon HD springs it should work fine.

[@RamJamOverland]

@@rallye81 I’ve got an ‘18 2500 power wagon. I’m all smiles not issues. 37’s and Lietner acs rack system, rtt. it’s my overland dream truck. And incredibly reliable. And all things considered lol gets about the same mpg maybe two mpg less then my buddy’s overland rig Taco. Lol

[@christopherbrown6697]

That's a helluva truck, but I think it's the level of overkill that will result in the negatives outpacing the benefits. I've camped in pickups, vans, and wagons for almost 30 years and my favorite setups were the ones where, like your Prius, the living and driving compartment were the same space. I think a hybrid SUV, crossover, or minivan would be the happy medium between the Prius and a thirsty, lumbering one-ton GVW 4X4.

[@gen1c8rs88]

A 2019+ Ford Ranger 4x4 with a 2 inch lift, 285/70r17 tires, Qty.5 17x7.5 Ranger Raptor wheels from Steeda, no camper.

[@bob_frazier]

In the spot right next to us this weekend was a Prius. It rained for 24 hours, and looked like pure misery to us in our camper.

[@redemption44]

Holy shit, this gave me so many vibes being back at fort irwin. I served in the US army and when you went through those mountains SO much ptsd came up. not your fault at all. but it was still there. love the video. you and your mother are so beautiful. I don't mean that in any overly sexualized way at all. God bless you both

[@_Merica_USA]

I think this company should sponsor you with a truck and camper 👍🏼😎

[@Onewholovesrock]

Diddo. I think it’s a possibility. I just saw a motorcycle company give away a motorcycle to a KZbinr. With less subscribers than this channel. She called them herself and asked if they’d be interested in borrowing her a motorcycle. They just gave her one in exchange for using it in her videos. Obviously the motorcycle doesn’t cost nearly as much. But who knows? I don’t know how you’d go about asking? Actually there’s another KZbin channel (Dr. Samantha or something???) where the girl uses a similar rig. She supposedly lives in it. Though it doesn’t look lived in. Her videos don’t feel completely legit. Like it’s more about advertising the rig than actually truly living in it. But who knows.

[@PurpleTisha]

This looks awesome for a holiday! However as a fellow female, I think in the longer-term it would be safer to go for a vehicle in which you could make a quick getaway at any time, without having to get out to get from the sleeping area to the driving area.

[@JamesRichardson3rd]

I have been looking at these for a few months now. The main reason I have held off is that the family currently uses two 2009 Priuses. With the current gas prices going through the roof, and the prices for new and used cars spiking, the thought of going from 46 - 48 mpg to about 15 mpg at best is upsetting.

[@killerkoalazz]

I love your dad You can tell how happy he is for you

[@snowygirl131]

This looks like such a fun mother-daughter adventure! I, too, am looking at many different options for living. IMO, day to day you will probably miss the stealth aspect of a car/SUV. But it must've felt great to stand up, stretch out and shower outside! 💦 Can't wait for the Camper + Nikki Reunited video!! I bet he'll go NUTS!

[@NAT-turners-Revenge]

🤔 poor mom... she looks like "ok... dear very cute... time to get back to reality now... I want my grandkids"

[@kevinhenry177]

I definitely think the sienna minivan would be much better fit for you. Remember Toyota hybrid is going to be able to provide you a inverter choice, also AC without having the motor running constantly.Seriously some thing that gets like 15 miles per gallon or less, plus it takes diesel at over six dollars a gallon. Nikki there are smarter vehicles out there for you. Yes don’t get me wrong it’s really cool if money was no object.#WeNeedToBeFrugalWithOurMoneyTheseDays

[@gaberoyalll]

Mini van provides ultimate stealth. I'm in between that and a / promaster or 4x4 sprinter. Minvan definitely wins on stealth and cost, gas and insurance

[@christiangarcia3693]

Well said! Trucks like these are fine if you use it but its so expensive and environmentally exhausting where as another vehicle would do equally as well for 1/3 the price and better MPG.

[@joelogger88]

After all that time in the Prius a minivan would be a mansion and they are everywhere, they are today's station wagon. More stealthy than a van and much more stealthy than that truck.

[@zelenizub2036]

15 mpg is wishful thinking. With camper more like 10mpg if lucky.

[@sazee2565]

Looks awesome! Hope you get what’s best for you! Mom looks amazing and seems to have as much fun as you do :) be safe and happy travels!!

[@TheJohndeere212]

Truth is this is an excellent rig for you. I am living in an RV for 3 years now

[@Tstarr600]

Love it. My only concern is that you can’t climb from the back to the cab to make a quick getaway without going outside first if something dangerous were to happen. Otherwise this is a very cozy upgrade and you have earned it.

[@JimYeats]

That would be called a van.

[@gailhitson6722]

Hi Nikki! Loved your Prius adventures and travel vlogs! Great truck popup camper! Way to go.. absolutely love trucks. Hope the gas prices aren't too difficult on you, after having a Prius. I love popup campers, - your mom is cool Nikki. You've moved forward, and right into your truck camper, way to go! 👍🤗

[@yuvalgal-shahaf2782]

One of the reasons i love watching your videos is because of how modest and sincere you feel to me. You seem like a kind and genuine person. You make living outdoors and the idea of "van life" seems reachable and you truly inspired me to think seriouslys.about buying a car and travel like you. This car unfortunately is anything but genuine and modest. It's all about show of and power over others. You love animals and the environment . This car is anti environmental and I am sure is leaving destruction in nature, especially in the desert. In this video with all the thumbs up and the jumpings and huge smiles I felt you were gone. I wish for you only the best , but is this really the best for you? For the world. Ask.yourself what kind of message you are herr to give and inspire others? I am sure there are bigger better solutions that are not all about non caring hedonisem and male toxic power . You are better than this.

[@moderateminneapolita]

Great comment.

[@JA53705]

Loving the truck conversion. They really need to make more gas efficient trucks. You have the best mom ever ❤️

[@quazimoto5241]

I just want to say it was pretty inspiring to see this video. I recently had most of my lateral meniscus taken out and was advised to think about stopping any high impact activities. I used to be an avid backpacker and runner but I'm now wondering if I'll ever get back to doing those things. I've always wanted to build an overlander and was too scared to do so when the pandemic first hit. Now I think it may be the only way for me to get out there and see all the national parks and sights that I want to see. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@obston2846]

some random 'doctor' advised this. Feel out your own body bud and do your thing because I was told the SAME thing and I haven't been better. fuck doctors.

[@johnshellenberg1383]

While that is a super cool rig, I think it completely flies in the face of what you were trying to do in the first place: live freely, frugally, and with minimal impact. That truck/camper combo is expensive, uses a ton of fuel, etc. I get the appeal, but it's pretty far removed from the original mission...

[@CSparzo]

I guarantee it still costs much less than homeownership and uses less energy.

[@ThompsonFlash9999]

@@CSparzo yeah, people underestimate how much energy people use in general. I bet she doesn't really end up using much more gas than people use regularly, just commuting to work and back. Especially since she ended up going with the Tacoma you see beside the Dodge. While those Tacomas weren't great in fuel economy, they are certainly better than the dodge. An interesting one to use would be the new Tundra hybrid, size of the Dodge but even better fuel economy than the Tacoma

[@frankfreeman2012]

I love these videos so much and Nikki's unabashed behaviour is refreshing. It just makes me sad that I have settled for so much in my life and feel so unfulfilled. Thankfully I have alcohol to ease the pain.

[@icekk007]

I recalled your Prius hotel returned about 32 mpg . What fuel economy did you get from this truck camper?

[@devengudinas1649]

15 at most

[@saurabhsonic]

@@devengudinas1649 Probably between 5 to 8 mpg, if anything.

those truck cab campers fascinate me, and I love all the features on this one. how does that thing not rock back and forth while you're inside it? Anyways, while this looks way fun, I agree with the other commenters that you may prefer the Sienna for long term.

[@danielamestanek7899]

for me the prius part was where it was interesting to see how resourceful you are. hats down, girl! the new truck is awesome and i would chose it for living if i were you but for me as a viewer this is where it is less interesting. tons of people vanlifing in awesome expensive vehicles. boring.
