Living in a Van on the Oregon Coast goes Wrong | Overnight at the Dealership 👎🏻

[@helluvatime4562]

Hey Nikki, I was a service tech at a Chrysler dealer and was the diesel guy, we serviced Sprinter vans back then and I was factory trained on them. EGR systems is one of the worst things that was ever mandated for diesel engines. To help with that every now and then when you find your self going up a steep hill gun it and blow that baby out. I ran into this a lot with doctors and lawyers who bought 3500`s because they could and never used the trucks like they were meant to be used, instead put putting to the office and that clogs the EGR system with soot. I can tell that you are a very careful driver, I hope this helps. Thanks for the videos it makes my day seeing you and Camper have fun.

[@nunyabeezwacks1408]

This is also good advice for owners of vehicles with gasoline engines, to burn off carbon deposits that are on your spark plugs.

[@BigFireDave]

Camper sure picked the right human to adopt. He's livin the lifestyle!

[@deborahsensenbach7384]

You too are so endearing ... you are helping alot to see places I can't go and still love... you and camper are so fun together and you guys add to my life

[@3698s]

Another beautiful video! Thanks Nikki & Camper. Camper is so adorable. I love seeing how much he enjoys van life. Safe travels to both of you

[@vandas5613]

Camper was pointing at the deer! So cute. Beautiful beach...enjoyed this episode. Stay safe.

[@gail9906]

Yes we rewound and watched him twice, so cool 😊❤️🇦🇺🦘

[@ResQ405A]

OH MY GOD!! YACHATS! You just made me cry! My family used to be from Yachats (grandparents, uncle, aunt, and cousins). I grew up in that small town...:-) My uncle owned the Shamrock Lodgetts and owned half the beach....where I used to go looking for sand dollars and starfish with my late grandfather. My father and grandfather both had their ashes spread in the ocean there. My sister and cousin both married their husbands at the little log church....:-)

[@MrYoup11]

It's back to just Lady and the Camp.

[@eleanormassaro5195]

Camper has so much personality! You can feel his joy running around on all his adventures! I love it!❤

[@shelleywalker6225]

I love it! Prince Camper knew his place in the shuttle van, FRONT SEAT! Nikki, great video. It's amazing that Camper pointed out the deer to you but did not go after it. So cool that you were able to meet and hike with Deb and Mason. Camper seemed to enjoy the play date. Safe travels.

[@lalad2943]

I love watching your channel. It's an adventure every day, and you make us all feel like we're your friends and part of your travels. You and Camper stay safe 💛

[@MOTrav]

I like how Camper points out the deer. Nothing gets past the Mighty Dog! 🐕

[@patriciariddle2997]

You find the best places to spend the night! Love that both you and Camper had a hiking buddy!

[@seviregis7441]

Another Beautiful episode. Having a soft spot for Camper, I am always tickled when Camper has play buddies and lots of treats. I hope to do this next year. I’m learning quite a lot from you, thank you for always being so informative and insightful. Glad your van is repaired and it all went well. Love you.

[@dalecummins689]

We all have living expenses, whether it be your home on wheels or like me a grounded home. Mine requiring $33,000 in repairs to the roof/etc, requiring borrowing from my 401K. You never get away from unexpected and stressful living expenses. Safe travels and good times to you and Camper.

[@markcloutier7087]

Great video!!! The coastal footage was amazingly beautiful. Camper is such an amazing partner, he’s so chill.

[@danaowen9014]

How cool is that, when you see some one that follows, your chanel , so now you know you are not alone out there.

[@laurenm8561]

So much fun. Always enjoy the tours and Camper’s antics, he is the best travel partner ever.🌻

[@bbqridge]

It was fate when your path crossed with Camper. You have brightened each others lives ,…..and ours.

[@GK49245]

You made the correct choice, MB Sprinter. We’ve owned one since 2010. Get the 7/140k extended warranty, and max prepaid maintenance. Like the 20k mile service interval. That MB service center is amazing. Neat Oregon vide, wonderful coastal scenes. Neat content; well assembled. Thanks for sharing.

[@christopherkey2693]

Hey Nikki, just wanted to say thank you for making my life a lot better. When I come home from work, I so look forward to watching you and camper. Have this amazing adventure everywhere you go you make my life better watching you. Thank you again.

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3167]

Breathtaking views thank you for bringing us along Nikki. Camper is one amazing dog and travel companion ❤🐶❤

[@Erica-wy8zx]

That’s so cool, you hiked with one of your subscribers.

[@kimellis8340]

Our family of five did a cross country motorcycle trip and part of it was along the same place that Nikki is spending her time. It was beautiful. I’m very jealous of her time there and I’ll look forward to being able to return to that area someday . I would advise though for those visiting the area to stay on the coastal side of the main highway, which is 101. When venturing into the forest on the inland side, we made the mistake of camping where others were stashing contraband substances. One night we were surrounded by group that thought they could scare us off by making strange noises and whistles. We circled the bikes and broke out “hardware “ that we were licensed to possess and things settled down. It was later after speaking with locals that we learned the deal.

[@kimmetcalfe6408]

Can I just say Nikki that you just took us on a wonderful adventure and you really had my heart strings tugging when you were loving on the camper he’s such a sweetheart you show him the life he deserves be safe enjoy the video keep the adventures rolling🦋💕🍁🌸 enjoy the coast 🏖️

[@11Janho]

Nikki,once a model always a model ….you really add value ! Love the show and the journey 🙏🏽

[@yeshuasaves7882]

Your such an awesome woman. In shape loves animals. Always smiling trying new foods.

[@lovelife02]

Because of you I just got back from lake tahoe it was beautiful, you inspired the trip, you made it look so good

[@Banagal]

The Oregon coast is beautiful. I've never been there and have it in my sights.

[@tkirkpat007]

You're my favorite. 😊 I still am telling people your quote from a few weeks ago: "It can be any day you want it to be". 😅

[@RCDR1000]

Camper is such a camper He is such a good companion Your views and drone views are also amazing. Thanks for sharing them with us

[@expertsniper1811]

Thank you Nikki and Camper for an amazing trip. Beautiful views and shops. Ending with a relaxing beach. Loved it.❤

[@cindygagnier2250]

I appreciate that you eat vegan even though you aren't. That breakfast sandwich looked amazing!

[@bulltastik]

Nikki Delventhal…you have such a great, passionate, caring energy about you. May you & Camper continue to have safe & beautiful travels🐾♥️🐾

[@TambovWolf1989]

Thank you, dear Nikki. Your videos are always a joy.

[@davidcreager1945]

Glad you were able to get your home looked at right away !!! And you and the Campmiester are doing well !! Stay safe 🙏 , have fun ! And thank you for a wonderful video !

[@Kelly19217]

Never was there such a happier dog, he constantly has such a beaming smile on his face, I remember the day you found him he was so lucky to have met you.😊

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Nikki and Camper. Y'all find some of the most amazing places to eat and shop.

[@EarthMagicBrno]

I just got my van and I can't wait to spend some time on the road here in central Europe.. Love your channel - so upbeat!

[@patriciaake5935]

Most majestic view yet!

[@user-vc3er9eg2p]

Love the Oregon Coast! Thanks for taking us with you and Camper!

[@PlanetaryThoughts9861]

We need "CAMPER VISION"! Strap a go pro to his happy little head and roll some beautiful POV footage. At 9:00 the bass player had a great left foot!

[@michaelhull8813]

Nikki! I am officially hitting my 1yr on the road, with my dog Harper. And just wanted to say thank you for the videos. Watch them every week and feel like you keep me sane and excited to keep traveling. Appreciate all that you do! -- THANK YOU 😊🎉🌻

[@cardd1133]

Love love love the Green Salmon. Wonderful experience. I must make a stop every time traveling down Highway 101.

[@lynnemac1402]

Beautiful video as always Nikki. Wonderful hike and so happy you stayed safe from the wild fires. The coastal views were spectacular and Camper is just adorable no wonder he wins everyone over x

[@briancclevenger]

I loved the video shot you got of your drone over the kite on the beach. Also the mist/fog over the ocean morning with your drone. I can see why you enjoy the north west coast.

[@samzainmark6163]

The most beautiful life, Nikki💚💚‼

[@MoneySavingVideos]

Welcome to Eugene Oregon

[@marcialovejoy9926]

Welcome to Oregon Nicki an camper. From one end of Oregon to the other end we have plenty of beaches, and alot of places for camping and hiking. Be safe. So enjoy your videos.

[@karatechop]

That was such a cool moment when you took the fan along on the hike. Must be surreal to watch the channel and then find yourself in a video. So neat!

[@bradmattocks7112]

Thanks for another high energy, positive video! Side note.. you need to name your home…. We can’t just keep calling it “the sprinter van.” You be you and give it an identity! In the mean time.. sorry sprinter van was sick and glad it’s feeling better! ❤

[@2fathomsdeeper]

I believe that it's nickname is the Delvanhauler.

[@maryhelen1011]

You and Camper are so sweet, kind and uplifting! I just love you both, your awesome Dad and Mom and your lovely cousins! You have a gift of making us feel part of the family for a small time out of the day! Thank you for that! You're beautiful inside and out!! ❤😊❤

[@toddmullin-3519]

I can’t say it enough, just how much I love camper. Great video.

[@scotttan6377]

thanks for sharing the issues on the van . you've outfitted it nicely . and , that was real lucky to get it serviced so quickly plus no sales tax ! Regarding maint., since off-roading is part of the adventure , checking the air and cabin filters more frequently like the fluids are par for the course. @17:24 Camper understood the assignment , clearing the trail of the annoying tree root ( LOL )

[@lorrainemadden869]

Nikki, I just read your bio from your former life. You are now living your genuine life and sharing it all with us. You ROCK!

[@christopheradan8771]

Long time subscriber giving you a shout out from southern california. Be safe out there.

[@chrissterba501]

These videos are always so upbeat and fun to watch. Always anxious to check out what adventures, places, scenery is up next. Thank you as always for sharing!!!

[@grayeagleswolves]

Great times great friends great food who cold ask for anything more

[@sadielaurentiwhitley3762]

Nikki, I love how you and camper easily adjust and find hikes wherever you are. I agree about the sprinter, it is fabulous, and just like any other van, it can have issues. I purchased a sprinter built out by PleasureWay last year and I absolutely love my van. I don’t live in it, it is my office on wheels and traveling vehicle. I want to highlight that Mercedes Benz is by far my favorite maker, and the dealerships are incredibly helpful. I have driven MB cars for 30 yrs with confidence. Mercedes is really great at checking for recalls when you call them, sometimes they have small fixes that makes a difference, such a seat adjustment to brake recall. Yes, dealerships for sprinter are sparse, but they’re always very helpful ..cheers to you and Camper.

[@jamesbuckingham8073]

Best way to enjoy the sights and smells of the Oregon Coast in slo-motion,> Biking and camping . Pull trailer with Camper and gear. Did it it many times without dog but have met other cycling with pets and kids

[@kurtgood2914]

Very nice mercades van , glad you got it fixed, wonderful views my friend

[@jasonlin9976]

Cars are great in your case a van until it has a problem. Good thing there's places to fix them when problems arise. Safe traves and can't wait till next week.

[@gordbaker896]

Great to see Camper at work and play. at 8:08 and other times,I noticed your Driving lights were incorrectly aimed. The 2 on the front bumper. They should hit the road about 70' ahead of you, not pointed skyward. Should be a simple wrench adjustment. Incredible beach and scenery. Thanks for the tour.

[@mosless1]

Somersault into the drivers seat from the fridge, without a hitch and with a super clean entry, not touching the sides. And without the keys. 🤣🤣🤣😎🤓

[@judithgreen3689]

Nikki, you bring so much joy to so many people! Loved your beach adventures. Your Sprinter suits you and you deserve the luxury after years in your car.

[@waffamoufti891]

Thanks!

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Thank YOU!

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Lovely vlog. If you ever settle, buy land or property you definitely need to by on the Oregon coast.. you love it there and always light up every time you go back there over the years.

[@nicoleashley8235]

Camper listening so thoroughly to your van speech…THE cutest thing ever. ❤

[@YouMatterAndYouAreLoved]

9:36 I LOVE her fun, carefree personality!

[@lil_shortgrl7430]

My hubs and I were just down on the oregon coast. My first time there and I loved it! All those sweet little spots to stop on the beach, so amazing. Can’t wait to go back again someday 😊

[@mymobile5014]

Your closing shots were awesome. I said once before I sold my camper and bought a boat, I love the coast so much. The only thing I miss is my furry boy, but seeing you with Camper prompts memories so it's all good.

[@levirobertson4183]

You and plenty of others make me want to go somewhere for a vacation and actually move somewhere with a lot cooler weather. Still rooting for you guys so hard and I'm blessed to have met some of you.

[@kathrynmilesfenton2755]

GREAT Customer Service from Benz of Eugene! Your very own personal chauffeur! I bet the view is spectacular without all that smoke! I love Oregon especially the coast! But had relatives in Grants Pass which I absolutely loved being in and spending time there. Salem is superfine, Portland is a bit too much but it used to be lovely... just too many people now. Love your vlogs Nikki! Thanks for taking all of us along with you on your adventures with Camper!

[@RideNTides]

Hey Nikki another awesome adventure! That hike up Mt. Pisgah, just wow, gotta take my own trip 🌄

[@DesertHomesteader]

I love the Oregon coast and Yachats is lovely! I need to go back there someday. So much fun and soooo relaxing.

[@Blue-f9b]

I’m so happy for you and your new house you and camper looks so much healthier and happier than ever before❤

[@Ronneman83]

Nice! I can imagine that living in a vehicle can be challenging at times. However the amazing views and places make it all worthwhile

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job Niki with the travel vlog keep on driving

[@jeffpittman8725]

Wildfire smoke is tough but it definitely makes for some beautiful sunsets/sunrises.

[@justjoe9246]

That was a beautiful shot of the coast...One day I'll make my way out west

[@krakenengineer]

I was in the Badlands when the last wave of smoke hit 2 weeks ago and it was crazy bad ...

[@jerrywoodworking4997]

Camper is so much fun to watch. You are giving him a wonderful life.

[@waynebradish6344]

Per the magna Moss act no manufacturer can require you have regular maintenance done during the warranty period at their dealership unless The manufacturer pay for the parts and work is done for free. You can take your vehicle any place you want to to have work done. Just not warranty work only the dealer will do that without prior approval.

[@michaellynch881]

Been awhile since I've seen your channel I really like the fact you take me back to Oregon. I'm from Grant's Pass little town north of Medford but hey grew up there so miss the Rivers the Beautiful scenery and that breath taking Oregon Coast not a Coast like it. You just add more beauty to it and pls I say that with the upmost respect... I'm getting ready to start my own Van life very soon and I hoping I can get back to my neck of the woods... ENJOY....

[@fireboy717]

You were in my neighborhood! And you went to two of my favorite restaurants - Morning Glory Cafe, and Green Salmon in Yachats. I'm glad the Mercedes dealer took good care of you both. Happy trails to you and Camper.

[@dilbertgt]

Awesome video! You and Camper look like you have so much fun. Glad they were able to fix the van and in a short amount of time.

[@Start__working]

It was so fun, to see how happy you were, to see one of your followers. (and she was happy to see you) and you did the hike together 😊🥹☺️ I wanted to be with you there 😢😅

[@matthewsemenuk8953]

Keep having fun Nikki

[@jowga]

Camper is definitely the star of this show.....

[@wallykramer7566]

So nice to see some of my frequently honored places! Yachats brought a couple tears as that was a favorite area of both me and my (now) late wife. The smoke intensity was pretty thick on your visit. That is something I have never seen. Well, except in the 1970s during crop burning season in the Willamette Valley.

[@astridjuney77]

Omg I love Yachats so much ❤

[@andreaewert7204]

Amazing views this week!❤

[@cliffdavis5244]

This was such a fun video for me is especially because I live in Eugene and I’ve been to all the places on the coast that you showed. Can’t wait for the next video this see where your headed. Safe travels! Take care.

[@johndej]

Nice to see you back on the Oregon coast!

[@markcooke6653]

Hey Nikki Great to meet you at Bodie. Mark and Steve say Hello. Great content - Stay safe.

Yachats is one of my favorite Oregon coast towns. Green Salmon has good coffee. Across the street is Bread and Roses bakery for killer baked goods.

[@kittybabymm]

I've been to Yachats several times to visit my Husband's relatives..very pretty area !

[@PupsforLIFE9]

Great video! Loved 💕 seeing Camper “point” and then realizing it was the deer that he had witnessed! Had never seen him do that before. Good for you, buddy! Glad you were able to get your beautiful van tip top again. 😊 Take care and stay safe! 💕
