Nice setup, i did think about possibility of doing one without windows to be extra stealthy. But would damp from condensation not start becoming an issue with no type of air fan on the roof?

Decent over night van with a lifepo4 battery and charger setup and a compressor cool box or fridge would turn it into a decent camper. I see so many campers without roof vents / fans tbh thats the biggest comfort in a van for me laying in bed with fresh air blowing on top of me after a day of running about, I get it gives up the stealth look / feel but I couldn't do without it.

There is only one 4:30 in my day mate and it is pm. You can summon a bird of prey quite easily, wear a leather glove, hold a dead mouse, or a tampax if no dead mice are available, tap your leather glove and shout yeeaar yeeearrr dead loud whilst holding your leather clad glove above your head. It’s more effective if there are loads of people around too. Top video son 🤙
