Hi, I'm Toria Delori, and this is my camper van

that I have been building out for the last two and a half years.

Which gave me plenty of time to perfect not only the nerdiness,

but also the unique features in my van.

From the second full-length hidden kitchen counter,

a bat signal, a fixed bed that converts into a couch,

a back-to-the-future themed cab, and even storage tables.

After living nomadically for six years and in numerous kinds of vehicles,

I think I may have truly made my perfect castle home on wheels.

I am so excited to show you all of the little hidden details

and movie references and just how fun I made this van.

I wanted to live in something that brought me joy and so I really think that's what this is.

Are you ready kids?

Aye aye captain.

So let's start with a fun fact about my lights.

They're really creepy because

when you do this you look like you could be in a smile movie so that's a great start.

So welcome to the front of my van

and this is my partition door

and I did not have one of these in my last van

and it's already one of my favorite additions

and it's a really big deal because

if I ever get in an accident I you know won't have this sword fly forward

and stab me in the back while I'm driving you know

or that dagger I'm not trying to be Caesar it's also really great at temperature regulation

because the windows in the front are so big they let

so much heat in and this stops that from getting back into the cab in the living area.

So, and then on it,

I put this necklace from Lord of the Rings.

And above that is the sign that you see when you're entering Disneyland.

I used to work in Disneyland and Disney World.

When I worked in Disneyland,

I took a 30-day road trip across America sleeping in the back of my Honda Accord.

And it was the greatest month of my life.

And I loved it so much.

But I just was not good at car camping.

And I knew I wanted to keep doing that,

but I knew I had to upgrade.

This is a clothesline that I put in to make drying my clothes after laundry day a little bit easier,

and it runs all the way to the back of my van.

I have my car keys,

that way if anything ever happens in the middle of the night I can just grab them

and go right up to the cab,

and down here is my cat Betty's food,

and a little Honeyduke's container of course,

and then this is the Mirror of Irised from Harry Potter,

and it essentially shows you what you desire most in life,

But also in the movie,

it's a reminder to not dwell on dreams and forget to live in the moment.

Yeah, so I love this mirror, but...

Mine's definitely broken.

I don't know what that was.

But moving on to my full-size closet,

and this sword is meant to be a replica of Damaris from Throne of Glass.

And I had Rattle of Stars engraved on it,

and it is removable in case I ever need it.

But then once you open this up,

you've got way too many clothes,

more than anyone ever needs.

I also have a full jewelry organizer in here that has,

of course, like Katara's necklace,

the coin from Pirates of the Caribbean,

lemon grab earrings, horcruxes, everything a girl needs, really.

More storage, lots of notebooks.

I have a notebook addiction.

I love writing.

But also just stickers from different things that I went to.

So Turn 4 Pour from Daytona 500,

Everglades National Park, Key West,

Mount Rushmore, New York Comic Con.

I interviewed to do the FIFA World Cup media,

which would be really cool if that happens.

The US Open, just a lot of NASCAR stuff.

And yeah, just some memories from my trips in the van.

If you're enjoying this video and you want to help out a girl solo traveling the country,

please consider taking a moment to like and subscribe to my channel.

I appreciate all of your support

and it really can go a long way in helping me

stay on the road traveling full time as well as get access to events like NASCAR

and the World Cup to make more vlogs in cooler places and be able to share all of those adventures with you.

And then on this side of the van I have my full kitchen unit.

So my water system which is a five gallon water jug

that leads through a whale foot pump into a water filter up through this faucet here then down to the gray water.

So pretty simple.

In the video I called it adult Legos a lot because

I think 80% of doing anything is just believing that you can do it.

And so simplifying how it sounds in my head,

instead of being like, oh,

I'm learning plumbing, being like,

oh, this is just Legos really helped build my confidence.

And with woodworking, I just called it sewing with wood.

So on the wall, I have a pet temperature monitor and my RedArc RedVision,

which tells me everything I need to know about my electrical system throughout the entire van.

So in the back, I have two 206 amp hour SOK batteries attached to the RedArc Manager Alpha 100

and I'm able to charge that a few different ways.

One is the two solar panels on the roof,

so I have 500 watts on the roof.

I also have a 75 watt alternator charger.

I also can plug into shore power and my little secret way is

100

that there's an app called PlugShare

101

that you can pretty much go anywhere in the country and plug in your van and get it recharge.

102

Which has changed everything for me and is so great.

103

Above my RedArc Red Vision I have Lego minifigures from the TV show The Boys.

104

I even have Translucent.

105

I think he's the most detailed one.

106

Next to that I have this photo frame

107

that actually opens up to be two wall outlets so I can make dinner up here.

108

I bring the oven up here.

109

I plug it in.

110

I make smoothies with my blender

111

and then I can just close it up and you never have to see the wall outlet.

112

I also have these two switches,

113

which I could have put them on the Red Vision,

114

but I wanted these.

115

Like I needed them to be here.

116

So this is the bat signal.

117

And when you click it,

118

either Lego Batman shows up or an alarm goes off and just around the entire van.

119

So it kind of gives a warning and if anything bad ever happens,

120

which yes, I have had to use it.

121

I have had someone try to break into the back of my van in the middle of the night.

122

Great times.

123

And next to that is Dragonfire,

124

which actually makes my LED lights go on,

125

which are hard to see during the day.

126

They glow red as if Dragonfire is pulling up the van.

127

And this symbol is actually from the book Fourth Wing.

128

So I also have the book Fight Club here,

129

which I've been reading lately and I actually think is a great book about van life.

130

It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything

131

because you see the things you own end up owning you.

132

Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes,

133

working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need to impress people we don't even like.

134

So good!

135

But anyway, I have an oven down here,

136

a bunch of storage drawers,

137

my trash can, my water, lightsaber.

138

I'm Tori Delori and you're watching Disney Channel.

139

Do do do do.

140

Look, I could have, I could have Avada Kedavah, would you? because this is Hermione's wand,

141

but I didn't.

142

See, I buy too much stuff,

143

and that's why I need that book.

144

The next thing in my van build is my upper cabinets.

145

This one has my microwave,

146

my toaster oven, and some plates up top.

147

This one is all of my camera gear,

148

my energy drink addiction, my Minecraft lamp,

149

my BMO storage bag, just a bunch of random stuff,

150

as well as my TravelFi internet which is how I get internet on the road.

151

After that I have the third cabinet which is my cruise

152

and comfort air conditioner which is how I cool down the van.

153

It is 12 volts.

154

It's also under mounted so it saves me a lot of roof space

155

so that I can have my dream roof deck

156

because I love going to NASCAR races

157

so I needed a roof deck to stand on and so this is completely was just like a no-brainer for me.

158

I needed the under mount.

159

I also have the Van Life Tech Radiant Hydronic heated floors for a heater in the winter.

160

It is much, much, much better than the Wabasto I had in my last van

161

because I used to wake up

162

and it would be like negative four degrees in the van when I lived in Vermont and it was horrible.

163

As well as my security cameras.

164

So I come over here and I can turn this on

165

and I can lay in bed and look at the security cameras,

166

which has just made me feel so much safer in the van.

167

One of the best upgrades I've made for sure.

168

This down here is my projector screen so that I can watch movies or TV shows,

169

which I know you didn't think I liked movies,

170

but I guess I kind of do.

171

And over here is more hidden picture frames.

172

This was definitely an idea I got from Pinterest,

173

but now I can just open these up and have my control switches without ruining the aesthetics of the van.

174

This is kind of boring.

175

It's just a door to the garage.

176

However, as you can see,

177

I go to the gym a lot.

178

And up here I have a full slide-out table at four feet long.

179

And in my last van, I also had this.

180

And I knew I wanted it in this van,

181

except with one little tweak,

182

which is that when you open this,

183

now there's storage inside, which when you have a van, storage is key.

184

So all of my makeup and my hair stuff with a mirror I can do every morning.

185

And well, when I have motivation.

186

And on this side is a full desk.

187

So I have a computer screen,

188

a Geekom mini PC, the official TVA notebook,

189

the captain's log from the United Federation of Planets.

190

What else could you need?

191

I've got a keyboard that this piece of wood that sits up here so I can type on the keyboard.

192

It's super functional.

193

Everywhere I can get an extra inch of space is always appreciated.

194

And over here is Betty's home.

195

She's got her framed photos of Pedro Pascal as the Mandalorian,

196

her name, and of course the heart of the ocean.

197

Under here is my Dometic 75 liter fridge freezer.

198

I actually got mine from Bob Vance from Vance Refrigeration in Scranton,

199

Pennsylvania, so very special limited edition.

200

And one of the top secret unique things

201

that I actually come up with all on my own for this van build is

202

that this bench seat actually turns into a second table.

203

I know.

204

You didn't see that coming.

205

Very exciting.

206

And there you go.

207

Within seconds, I have a second table for second breakfast or whatever else I need it for.

208

It's very sturdy.

209

Definitely can still hold a lot of weight,

210

but it takes up no storage space in the van.

211

And now I have two full kitchen counters.

212

And the only reason I thought of this was

213

because it felt criminal to take this big piece of wood and just screw it into the bench.

214

So, multi-purpose.

215

At this point, you might be wondering,

216

should you start van life?

217

Well, let me help.

218

Have you ever wanted to live in parking lots?

219

Do you love using outhouses?

220

Do you want to make your house your entire identity?

221

Do you love becoming actually homeless whenever your car has to go to the mechanic?

222

Do you want to increase the number of spiders you eat in a year?

223

Then van life might be for you.

224

There's nothing quite like the feeling of escaping the matrix to realize you've just entered another one

225

because there truly is no escape except death.

226

Possibly.

227

We don't actually know that for sure.

228

So if this sounds interesting to you,

229

quick, go out, buy a vehicle almost the price of a house.

230

That makes you wonder, wait,

231

why am I doing this again?

232

So quick, get a van.

233

Actually, don't.

234

And this is the final area inside the van.

235

This is my bed and it is a full-size bed

236

and it also has hinges in the middle so it can fold up and become a couch.

237

That's still a little bit of a work in progress because I need to add some more supports in the back,

238

but essentially it folds up,

239

becomes a couch, and I can watch some movies up in the front

240

and have the projector screen hang there

241

and just be able to sit up in bed if there's ever anyone else here and,

242

you know, whatever happens if other people are here.

243

I don't, I don't know.

244

I don't have friends.

245

Besides that, there's just a lot of pillows which actually are camouflage.

246

I like store things under here to hide it.

247

So my Starlink's behind that pillow.

248

I have a little table.

249

Who even knows what's back there?

250

A portal ring from Doctor Strange?

251

You really never know what you're going to find behind these pillows.

252

There's also a skylight up in the back corner,

253

which I can use instead of a ladder to get up onto my roof deck.

254

My roof has two 250 watt solar panels,

255

a Lumar Marine boat hatch that I use as a skylight,

256

a max air fan, a high boost internet booster,

257

and a full roof deck,

258

which all sits on my Orion roof rack.

259

Welcome to my Back to the Future themed cab.

260

It starts with my flux capacitor sign.

261

And of course, I do also have a flux capacitor that does light up down here at the bottom as well.

262

I have to keep it down there because I do try to keep this vehicle pretty stealth.

263

This sign does come off and I have a different one that goes in that spot that says caution waste products.

264

That way anyone who walks by thinks it's a poop van because who wants to break into a poop van?

265

No one.

266

Hopefully.

267

There's some weirdos out there.

268

You never know.

269

But I also have some reminders up here like the height of my vehicle,

270

so I never get in that kind of accident.

271

And also an internet reminder,

272

which is interesting because like two weeks ago,

273

I did have my internet on my roof and I did drive away.

274

And rest in peace to my original TravelFi router.

275

In here, I keep my maintenance notebook as well as all my van build notes.

276

And I keep a mileage tracker for everywhere

277

that I go for tax reasons and I also keep a picture of the reason that I do everything that I do.

278

Little Magikarp.

279

I don't know if you guys noticed but my nails are all derpy Pokemon today.

280

This is one of my favorite parts of the van.

281

It's a step that I made

282

because in a Promaster this does kind of dip a little bit

283

and so I wanted it to be stronger

284

but then I hand painted it with a quote from Throne of Glass and you're just so cute aren't you?

285

I also have a mat up here because in a Ram ProMaster,

286

the battery is actually right here.

287

And one time, I spilled a whole thing of chocolate milk right down into it.

288

So now I at least have a buffer between the battery.

289

On the passenger side, I store all of my shoes down at the bottom.

290

And then Betty has her little car seat up that can buckle into the chair.

291

This is Betty's litter box,

292

and it has the Lord of the Rings,

293

no admittance except on potty business sign on the outside,

294

and a Gandalf you shall not pass gas sign on the inside,

295

as well as a little Edward from Twilight meme.

296

But most importantly, it does have an external ventilation system to the outside of the van,

297

because what she'd be doing in there makes Chernobyl seem like a peaceful afternoon.

298

To spice up the dashboard,

299

I put some stickers up here like the bananas from Mario Kart,

300

the Grim Reapers, and a fire missile button.

301

I also have some ghosts and the DeLorean

302

because my last name is Delory and that's actually what started the whole Back to the Future theme up here.

303

And I would say the best piece up in the cab is Han Solo's dice.

304

And I think that concludes the inside tour so let me show you the garage.

305

so this is a little stand for my ipad or a phone

306

or whatever i want to be able to watch movies in bed with

307

and then i also use this little table to store my lightsaber

308

and something i want you to know about me is

309

that i took the time to learn the ob annie spin

310

but i've never taken the time to learn what a 401k is.

311

That's really not funny though, is it?

312

So down here is my electrical system.

313

This is the Redarc Manager Alpha 100.

314

The TVMS Rogue acts as my fuse box,

315

and I have little fans here to kind of add to the circulation back here.

316

Betty has a stroller, my toolbox, all reliable of course.

317

I also have an extra solar panel,

318

an extra power station, and traction boards,

319

which I learned the value of in Vegas when I got stuck in the desert twice.

320

I've got a camping chair and I also have the moonshade awning,

321

which is a removable awning I can put on the side of my van and pull down.

322

That about sums it up.

323

Oh, these?

324

These.

325

Okay, these are one of my proudest build things that I did.

326

This is shatterproof glass.

327

This is made of polycarbonate and it cost me 600 bucks to do this,

328

but essentially now if someone smashes the windows they can't get through.

329

There's also locks here, a lock there.

330

There's going to be thunderbolt locks in the side.

331

No one's getting through these doors or any of my doors.

332

I have gone over the top on security,

333

but I think it was really worth it

334

because I can go to sleep at night and not worry

335

that someone can just shatter that window and my face is on the other side.

336

I think that about sums it up.

337

That's my camper van.

338

It was so hard for me to fit everything I wanted to show you in this one single video,

339

so I hope you caught some of the other movie references I didn't get to mention,

340

like the Hunger Games, Alien,

341

and X-Men cabinet handles, the Eye of Sauron pencil holder,

342

the Cubone flower vase, and I didn't even get to film my Rick

343

and Morty Mr. Meeseeks box or my Pulp Fiction briefcase,

344

so be sure to subscribe because I'm about to take to the road and have so many fun, ridiculous adventures!
