Why the AC unit in the back of the truck? That is a give away when on and a temptation for thieves. Roof top maybe to make it more difficult to detect and steal?

THIS is the definition of stealth camping. With your "commercial vehicle" you can park really everywhere and nobody thinks you live in it. Fantastic!!!

[@oblitafier]

It has windows and there’s an AC unit on the back. I guarantee some people know there’s someone in there. Also, a commercial vehicle, especially one advertising solar equipment, is a tempting target for thieves.

[@pcatful]

I would try to put the mini split up higher where it's harder to reach. Also, for security reasons I would want a functioning cut through from the cab to the box. You need access so you can get out quick in an emergency without having to go outside the vehicle. Someone could steal your truck and you would be stuck in the back. I think where you are cops turn a blind eye because of the very high cost of living and homeless population. In many parts of the country this would be more difficult. Florida is cracking down on their very large homeless population. I'm not sure if they would consider a van or other vehicle that is not an RV as a home. Especially if it's parked on public streets or parking lots.

[@nomadbrad503]

I do have an access door from the living space to the cab, you just didn’t notice it. I also have a hidden kill switch that I always activate. No one is stealing my van

[@TJDawgs72]

If I was camping out in some shady places like that in the city, I would definitely have security cameras pointed in different angles on the top and some type of alarm system that you could at least flip on to create a commotion to scare anybody off that’s trying to break in. Not having a way to slip through the back into your cab and take off in case of an emergency would be a bit of an issue for me. Great looking van though…

I've been following some van life channels for about a year as I adore what you guys do, and gotta say, I love your build and the wrap - that's awesome. I always wondered why more don't do that (maybe they do, I just don't see them). Only thing is, it's "RVs," not "RV's" - no apostrophe for pluralization; that's possessive. :) I realize people could not care less and I'm just some random slob on the Internet, not to mention that wrap couldn't have been cheap. In any case, liked and subscribed, thank you for your work. Seems that this is the way to go to really blend in when it comes to stealth camping.

fantastic video. Wow! Thanks, really great info. So, sad to say, when I look at these night time locations, honestly, they are almost all just ugly: homeless, parking lots, worried about the cops and complaints. It really shows me that van life is not easy. I can see how you would want to, sometimes, just park and stay in a motel--the hassle of driving around trying to find places is something that van life videos really don't do justice. In fact, when I think about it, trying to find a place to stay "free" can occupy several hours along with stress and tension,, and that's something really exhausting trying to deal with. The other issue for me as a single guy is finding someone romantically that wants this type of lifestyle. Most women really like some comfort to their sleeping arrangements.

Of course if you have commercial vehicle you will blend in. There are some gas station that will let you sleep overnight but not living there. Some walmart will let you park overnight and some don't. Home Depot usually will let you park overnight. Camping area is too far from town but it's a good place to stay on your days off or during holidays for privacy.

That's a good term I hadn't heard before "vehicle dwellers." (or nomads).

[@nomadbrad503]

It's a good way to describe it, isn't it?

[@kenkulluson2472]

You need access from the cab to the back so much better than having to go to the back door.

Need to get the windows tinted, and the front windshield strip great for Privacy.

[@nomadbrad503]

I’ve been thinking about doing it!

[@nomadbrad503]

I’ve thought about it, but I haven’t had any issues so far.

[@chiane1968]

Doesn’t having a door in back and a/c unit sticking out give this away?

La looks like a dystopian nightmare

[@susansparanormalpennsylvan81]

when i was a kid i dont remember seeing any homeless people because you could work part time and rent a room somewhere, nowdays, you could have a well paying job and have trouble finding just a room to rent, let alone an apartment, thats why i left california for Pittsburgh, Pa area in 2012, i paid 25k cash for my 1,100 sq ft house.

@@susansparanormalpennsylvan81 Was your house a foreclosure or fixer-upper for that price ?
