RV Stealth Street Camping Los Angeles Tips & Tricks & Famous Movie Filming Location

[@JonnyDIY]

Alright ur in L.A. Here's some recommendations from a local. Pink's Hotdogs, El Coyote (for great Mexican), Porto's Bakery (you wont regret, trust me 🤤), Randy's Donuts from Waynes World, Medieval Times in Buena Park for a great time and relive some Cable guy nostalgia. 2 awesome outdoor malls in LA, The Grove and The Americana, they're like miniature Disnleylands, you'd love. Once you're in Orange County area, Moreno's for great Mexican food and atmosphere (sit outside on beautiful landscaped patio area)

[@JonnyDIY]

And of course visit Santa Monica Pier, & Venice Beach Boardwalk with the famous Muscle Beach 💪💪

[@JonnyDIY]

@@princessjofthei.e.886 Yes! He can go there then do The Grove, since they're next door to eachother

[@roberthernandez7564]

Eric - Thank you for bringing the rain with you to California. I've been hoping you'd do this for quite some time. Kudos to you for helping alleviate our megadrought! :)

[@nancylarose7565]

Your right our traffic is Bad! But we have a lot of good thing's here!

[@cardboardkitty7091]

You want quirky and/or classic Los Angeles food? Try Philippe for a French Dip, Pink’s hot dogs in Hollywood, Canter’s in West Hollywood for giant matzo ball soup. If you come to Orange County, go eat at Rutabegorz in the city of Orange, and also enjoy the Orange Circle, which you can see in tons of videos on the Randomland channel. I wish we could offer you a spot to park in Anaheim, but HOA rules say nono, dang it. You might be able to stealth park the RV on the side Santa Ana Canyon Rd (east Anaheim) a block from a restaurant called Flappy Jack’s (great omelettes).

[@freespirit6209]

Glad your life is more "comfortable and manageable" now - you've worked hard to get it. I can relate to that!

[@Ferretlover64]

you know....I remember the beginning... you have changed a lot imho... but the Eric I see now is so much MORE than the younger version.. but the younger version was the one I began watching and stayed with to see how the journey would play out from video to video..... you may have lost some viewers Eric...but I have been here since the beginning.... and I am always curious what the next video will bring !! I like that the videos are not all quirky... or all remodeling the RV, or all your travel days, or the trials and tribulations of life in an RV... but I LOVE that it is a patchwork quilt of all of them.... it is the fabric that is making of your life... and we are lucky enough that you are sharing it with us..... does anyone stop and think how cool that is???? I for one, am looking forward to what is yet to come !!

[@davidvincent3926]

Your video was funny seeing Opie and Tara's eyes hlowing green in the window!

[@What.The.Fluff.]

Real live motion-sensing security! Maybe their glowing eyes will scare ppl off 👀😻

[@donnac.1609]

I grew in a small town in Oregon...moved to Long Beach when I was 40 and learned all about a Thomas Guide! Had to use one to make sure I did not go I to really bad areas! Had to adjust never running into anyone I knew and the darn sales tax! Met some great people...loved the weather!

[@SL_BA]

Sorry for all the rain you encountered but glad Southern California got some rain. Enjoyed the information on urban boondocking.

[@robertjimenez5345]

The “Castle” themed pizza place would not be surprising to older Californians, it was probably a old Round Table Pizza. Back in 80’s, it was one if not the best pizza in SoCal. Round Table was a Camelot themed restaurant with those same shields on the wall. Brought back great memories of little league games and birthday parties. Thanks

[@cardboardkitty7091]

Round Table Pizza still exists. I’m not sure how many there are, but I know there’s one in Yorba Linda and one in Orange. Their Gourmet Veggie is my favorite pizza ever. Goes excellent next to a juicy ribeye.

[@qvs787]

East LA classic

[@reparsed]

Eric's side gig is Rainmaker.

[@everythingyouknowis]

Good video pal. Reach out if you ever wanna do some Moch-docking near Denver. RV pad, and 50amp plug.

[@lynnettemichalski]

The rain seems to really like you Eric! It follows you wherever you go!

[@pandachickenmama]

I totally agree with driving through big cities at night. I made the mistake of driving through Houston around 5 pm on my way to Galveston. The return trip was at 2am. To navigate through big, unfamiliar cities I put on my Bluetooth earbuds, pop up my map program on my phone and set my destination. Helps so much to have that automated voice as my navigator helping to keep me on track.

[@BruceLyeg]

You could definitely tell he just woke up. I love it when my Gromit has just woken up and is all fuzzy headed and confused. He's just all warm and sweet when he's like that.

[@IMNSignificant]

Malibu Creek State Park, near Calabasas off the 101 fwy, Las Virgenes exit, South just past Mulholland.... You'll love it!!! MASH was shot there, still have some markers from the set. A must see!! Kobe Bryant died in the helicopter just off Las Virgenes about 1/2 mile from the fwy.

[@RZ350NC]

Come visit Long Beach! I'd love for our Tiger to meet Tara and Opie! Seriously, have fun and stay safe while in LA County. Take care, and may God bless.

[@TheSoloAsylum]

Best thing a person could possibly do in California, is get the hell out of there as fast as possible.

[@vickierabovsky9166]

I’m fairly new as a year maybe but I love the videos and the places you take us!

[@lindabirkes-lance8915]

I’m so thankful someone has provided a safe place for you to park in LA. Stay dry!

[@dianestoltz8502]

I really like how you showed us how you do stealth

[@californiasun162]

Good to see you I do Boondock on the street at night but I have a class B I’ve been doing it for over three years in Huntington Beach I’ve been living here actually for 25 years but three of those in my van dodge road trek during the day I park either at the state beach or the city beach or the park I do move around I do not travel love your video nice to watch take care be well and be safe from Huntington Beach California where the sun shines every day👍🏖🏄‍♂️🪵🇺🇸

[@frankbarcenas7373]

Where you ate at the pizza joint. You were on the boarder.Across the street is the city of LA and you were on East Los Angeles County. Happy trails.

[@travelingmertonandsue]

Subscribed to you through Traveling Robert and glad we did. We enjoyed our first video from you...looking forward to more and will view some older ones too!

[@FairyChild_For_Freedom-Justice]

I love traveling Robert

[@christinetaylor5726]

Loved the video. It's so funny that you bring the rain wherever you go. I'm sure San Diego was wondering why they were getting the unusual rain. :)

[@coleramus561]

Cats on pillow equals eye stye

[@lindahansen9395]

Thanks for all your videos. Sorry you had rain for three days in San Diego. There are so many wonderful things to do there. Lived in San Diego area for thirty three years (been gone from there for 19). Love Your kitties.

[@klouism1]

Glad you're in some better weather. Thank you for the video. Keep having fun.

[@66marmak]

Hey Eric, thanks for taking the rain from Illinois to California. ke ke ke ke : )

[@sooner_born2256]

Ahh, sunset blvd and Marina Del Rey to Malibu would be a good outing. Maybe hit the J Paul Getty museum too.

[@MichaelCooleyisit]

Great video Nomadic Fanatic and the crew (Tara & Opey) ! Safety is key.🔐

[@beverlyhutton1468]

You are definitely more braver than I am. I wouldn't go anywhere near that place. Stay safe Eric.

[@JanesDough855]

I like the idea that you have all those cameras around your RV. Its a smart way to travel. How generous that a Sub lets you stay at their place. Its a win win all around. Am looking forward to the next exciting adventure. Take care, hugs to you and the kitties!

[@dsanchez9703]

Bro its so awsome to see you in California. I was there 9 years ago and i hope Lord lets me go back soon

[@jennyaugustin6020]

Thanks for news on the ground from LA 🚙 you are definitely less stressed and we are glad for you. Kitties are beautiful and blessed: your little fam.

[@deee5520]

Always make my day better when I see your video pop up.

[@bxlake9028]

ALWAYS PRESSED BY RAIN. CANT RELAX

[@notyouraverageexplorer]

Shopping list. Tator Tots!

[@Rtie189]

The Saddle Ranch Chop House,on the Sunset Strip,they even have a mechanicle bull,its Chef Ramseys favorite place for Ribs.

[@carpenterhelperx1482]

🇺🇸Hey, Eric; Try Boondocking, in front, of OJ's old house, in Brentwood. GOD Bless.

[@stevenate1174]

check out Knotts Berry farm. You would love it. Cheap to get in and very charming.

[@tammiemeadows5278]

Never too much pizza 🍕. I tried the croissant one after I saw you eating it. 😋. Safe travels and sure hope you can keep the videos coming even with those ⛽️ prices 🤗

[@NaturalStateRebels]

Just wanted to let you know my husband and I just today caught up watching all of your videos. We started in mid to late 2020 and watched 3 to 4 videos a day. It's been great to see you've come a long way from your first video. My husband and I went full time in August of 2021. Hope to see you out on the road!

[@landdealsCA]

What r u driving?

[@NaturalStateRebels]

@@landdealsCA A '99 Newmar Dutch Star diesel Class A.

[@storychasing]

It rained on me almost the entire 2 weeks I was there in December!

[@notthesmartestguyintheroom3753]

Not sure if your still around LA but I work at a great restaurant over in Arcadia called The Derby and it's our 100th anniversary this year! We are a great little steakhouse that was founded by a Jockey named George Wolfe, tons of Santa Anita race history! You should drop by. Maybe even help with overnight parking!

[@jerrywestin3447]

Your trips are getting better & better! Please cover L.A. & Orange County! I was born at General Hospital! I grew up in these 2 counties!

[@green285]

Watched u many years eric, love u and ur kitties

[@jeanschultz8857]

Don't forget tater tots.... 😂😂😂😂

[@Itsthekellyschannel]

We love visiting LA but we have spent our time in much nicer areas with no “art” everywhere LOL The best rule on traffic is try to avoid going into the city in morning rush hour or out of the city during evening rush hour👍

[@PAINFOOL13]

The Rain Man Cometh lol 😱🤪 Screamin Sicilin thin crust is my fav Frozen . Be safe, hugs tara n opie .😻

[@cenedraleaheldra5275]

Hey hey from over here in Australia. Great to see you. Just love your content. Thanks

[@justexperience7708]

Little sketchy street boondocking, but you are really prepared, smart.

[@TheMachoGabacho]

If you’re still in the area, check out Huntington Beach. It’s an awesome area and an iconic California beach.

[@donovanhebert8291]

While you are in LA, you should drive into El Segundo (right next to LAX) and have a meal at Fantasic Cafe on Main St. Best hole in the wall diner! Then go to Dough Boy donuts on Old Imperial for the best donuts (Apple fritter is best in the nation, and so is the Krueller). Also dont forget to stop at any RiteAid in CA for some Thrifty Ice Cream. The best!

[@Gary-fc5tk]

Ok Eric, still following you and the cats, never board with your vids, be careful,, garygary

[@gailsfoodandstuff]

its “bored”. ;-)

[@tracymeskel2839]

Hey Eric, it’s nice to see you smiling again. We met at Q. Hope to see ya on the road.

[@ChasingTravelAdventure]

Electrify those fences 😈 turn on the cameras get the popcorn 🍿 😆😆😆😆

[@waytoson]

Be safe... Can't wait to see your peeks of LA..

[@terriglover7137]

It always rains a lot more in San Diego area than LA. I love it. Happy travels!

[@mendyedson1825]

Northern California is in an extreme drought. Not sure what happened in San Diego.But it is California. I'm glad you have a safe place to stay. Take care of yourself, Tara and Opie

[@lisaatkins5414]

I've been watching you for years. I even go back to watch you and Jax in the first years. Kitties are so sweet and the only way I can get my cat fix as I've become asthmatic to cats. Thanks for sharing.

[@huskersue5123]

Sorry about our San Diego weather..we need the rain. Have you thought about exploring Orange county? Huntington Beach is a famous surfer hang out. Brea tar pits are in downtown L A. There's always Catalina Island..boats leave Long Beach..beautiful place. Have fun. Use sunscreen. Be safe.

[@binkieruby2191]

Great video. I am looking forward to your LA videos. Lived there for 12 years until we went full time in February 2020.

[@Greg_Gatsby]

Great information, Eric. TYVM 👍

[@joshbaker5403]

Yes, really loving this California stretch of videos. More please!

[@brendasnyder9908]

I have been with you since the first video. Love you and the kids

[@eddiealmanza1]

Eric you missed the “nice” railroad stolen broken in box cars. That was lovely to see boxes scattered all over the place.

[@stevetadlock5223]

I don't know when you were in San Diego but we've only had 1 day of rain in the last month!

[@pnwester2697]

Not uncommon for KZbinrs to embellish a bit on the weather. Wranglerstar does it all the time. March 4th was the big day of rain in San Diego according to wunderground

[@fwootyshorts]

Hey Eric I’ve been with you from the early days thank you for sharing your life’s journey thank you for allowing me to follow your life’s journey. Cheers!!

[@crickettebennett1346]

Hey Eric, if you are heading more north think about coming up to Nevada City, Ca. Just around an hour and a half or so from Sacramento in the foothills. Lots of interesting places and history of the gold rush up here. There is a wonderful little campground close to town. The Inn Town Campground for $40 a night. Or you are welcome to park on our property for free. lots of interesting old saloons and restaurants. A small gold rush town in the forest you can't beat it!

[@kathrynhoag5887]

Come up to the central coast - we really need the rain

[@madie72451]

You should hire urself out for places that need rain!! You don’t disappoint 😜

[@mikelebonner970]

"Nomadic Fanatic single handedly ends drought in southern California!"....ha, ha.....😄 Glad you made to decision to head north. That rain was crazy. Great video! Thanks for sharing tips for urban boondocking. You've come a long, long way from the old days when you first started traveling. I'm proud of how successful you've become.😁 Your kitties are super sweet. Safe travels to you all. 🐱🐱♥️

[@heathereusden3029]

Love seeing the messages on your dry erase board! Followed your channel 5 years and have enjoyed the changes and the quality of your videos. Change and moving forward makes for an interesting life. Cheers to you and your adorable kitties.

[@daves3016]

I watch every video you put out, thanks for the content. I enjoy seeing places i probably will never get around to visiting.

[@FrankLong1970]

Because of you Eric, make it rain 🌧 👌

[@jackiegardner7483]

Pizza looked really yummy hugs to Tara& Opie❤️

[@JanetStMary]

Stay safe, LA can be fun, have a great time. Can hardly wait to see what you do next.

[@Corgis175]

Always give you a thumbs up. You might want to visit Griffith Park, Autry Museum and the park itself.

[@donnabonnel1752]

Hi Eric! Love your videos!! I'm in California and yes, weather has been so weird!! I'm near Yosemite in the foothills and we have had snow on and off this year quite a few times. The storms come and go... One day 70° next day in the 30's and snowing!! Yep, just plain weird!!

[@nitay8248]

That croissant pizza looked really good! So did the other one!😋❤️

[@Allentravelsnow]

It's nice here in Phoenix Arizona by the way Chandler has a fair coming out starting tomorrow you should come on out there Eric or anybody

[@michellecastaneda4104]

I think the rain follows you.

[@tamiwilliams5903]

Lived in east LA as a little kid. You learn from a very young age to “ Be Aware”😉😀

[@Randers_Vegas]

Gumball Rally is another great car movie that had some great shots from that LA waterway system.

[@regenagroen4631]

Yeah Eric, I lived in LA, Most of Ca. areas & YES I HATED the traffic, spent hrs. on it going places... No matter what day it was... But live in VA. now. for over 20yrs..Til RV is done, then on the road traveling just like you!!!! LOVES/HUGS to you,Tara, & Opie!!!!!

[@catherinegreene8091]

It's good to see you smiling Eric and enjoying your life with your sweet kitties!

Is Ghengis Cohen still open? I loved that place when I visit out here (On Fairfax)

You found a good place to park off the street. !

You've also gained viewers. You just grew up a little and like you said, everyone grows and everyone goes through different experiences that change them. I think it's great

[@BobtheTraveler-WD8NVN]

I never been inside the town limits Los Angeles; I always gave up trying too much traffic starting on the San Bernandino freeways...

[@louparry7721]

It was very nice of a friend to let you park in his driveway . I'm sure you did feel a lot more relaxed. I'm glad you are having nice weather. That pizza looked awesome. Take care Eric and God bless. Louise

[@joycemyers9898]

I liked the shopping list, what an Easter Egg! Have lots of fun n b careful there.
