A refrigerator needs to shed heat. Tory Delury had put hers beside the diesel heater, a layout decision that became rather less appealing after living with it.
"I brain-farted, and I installed my fridge next to my heater," she says in "14 Things I Got Wrong in My Van Build (1 Year Later)." Moving it is one of the practical corrections in her latest review, which remains the channel's most active video despite no new uploads this week. The video includes a sponsored segment for KTC's portable monitor.
The fixes range from pleasingly small to consequential. Slider mounts keep her laptop and folding desk tucked above the bed while driving. Extra fans and a dehumidifier address air circulation and condensation. After her electrical system started smoking, she added a smoke alarm that can notify her phone. This is van life measured less in scenic stops than in what needs rearranging before the next one.
The channel added about 50,000 views over the week, while subscribers held at 205,000. Today's viewing is well below its usual daily level. Among nearby travel channels, Riri Travels and TJ AND MAC had substantially busier viewing weeks; Liam Brown's weekly audience was closer to Tory's.
Her portable-air-conditioner review is also attracting views, followed by an older video about working with van builders. Together with the year-later corrections, they give this upload-free week a distinctly practical theme: the difference between a conversion that looks finished and one that works to live in.
