Cool video. I stealth camped in a sprinter all over SA for a little while. It looked much more like a trade vehicle than a camper cause I had some fake signs on the side and no obvious signs of camping. I’d find good places where I felt secure and stay there a while - never had any troubles with anyone. I always felt much more comfy is a quiet suburban back street than anywhere else. While the sprinter had a shower I’d almost never use it - it wasn’t great, so I had a 24/7 gym chain membership and would just look up where they were compared to my travel plans and pop in late at night for a great hot shower.

You mentioned freeloading, which I have trouble with. You are working, and I assume you are paying income tax on earned income. I assume you are using the library, which would be from local property taxes. If being morally pure is a thing for you, perhaps volunteer at the library or make a donation of some kind. I wouldn't think of this as freeloading, with the minor exception of the library. I make the assumption that you shower at a local gym, so that is something you are paying for the use of. It really just comes down to making sure you are being a good neighbour, aren't a nuisance, and not denying a resident or guest of a resident a place to park. But perhaps mix it up a bit and spread it around. Any vehicle in the same spot for a long time without ever moving tends to become suspicious to police - e.g. is the owner still alive, was he the victim of a crime? Was this vehicle used in some illegal? All of a sudden, your vehicle starts getting queried by police, along with your name an awful lot, which then starts raising questions in their minds. If their good police, they'll eventually question you, and if you answer honestly and they'll put it to bed. Probably they'll ask you to move along, especially since it's Australia, and the police there are notoriously nitpicky. US police won't always be so kind.

I did have deliveries sent there as well, but I was lucky enough to have a girlfriend at the time and used her address for most things. Back then I was making money from the hotel, doing stand up comedy, this youtube channel, and my patreon page. If this is your dream you should at least give it a shot. You don't need to 'convert' a vehicle permanently, in fact I turned a rental into a camper to van life all over the UK back in September, so it's very possible.

They are usually like mice (flock together) If you see one then there is probably a companion stealthier not too far away, especially here in the states. I see them at Wal-mart, Box Stores, Truck Stops, 24 hour grocery's, Cracker Barrel, Planet Fitness, Libraries and Parks. I like them a lot better than the homeless drug addict's and crazies all over my city near blood banks, feeding centers, under bridges, beggars with signs, and daycares for the homeless.
