Stealth Uhaul Camping at a Storage Facility with BLUETTI AC240

[@brentzobel1907]

I sold my house about two months ago and just brought a new box truck. It is insulated, and wires are run. I built a bed and put a shower in. I did enough to live in and build it out as i live in it. Im working remotely and loving life. I have followed this guy for a while, and he has given me so me ideas to build my box truck.

[@shaneparfitt77]

Doing exactly the same in Australia right now, 4yo ex grocery store, home delivery, refrigerated delivery truck. Working remotely and lying on my mattress working out my kitchen and bed build with 80/20 right now lol

[@MikesManCave]

Where did you bring the truck?

[@paulfrederiksen5639]

Ive been stealth camping for over a year in a converted box truck. I have learned that it is easier to have a leveling system on my bed and on my hot plate, then it is to level the truck. As soon as you put those blocks under your wheels you are advertising that someone is living inside the truck. I built a sturdy box around my mattress and then use linear actuators to raise and lower the corners to get the bed level. For my hot plate for cooking I just wedge a towel under it to get it level.

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Great ideas!

[@4saken404]

I saw a short bus conversion once that had a similar idea. Their bed was in back and suspended by cables. Then they would just adjust the cable lengths to level it. And on top of that this had the added bonus that they would just hoist the whole bed up and out of the way when they weren't using it. Absolute genius.

[@JoFoxynHomer]

I just put a pillow or two under one side or end of my mattress.

[@caughtafaygo]

Way better than using blocks

[@jmfarouche6688]

Put hydraulic leveling jacks- way less conspicuous and you can set and level them from inside remotely- so you won’t be seen outside leveling blocks

[@hugohackenbush6474]

I've been full-time for 7 years in a 24' RV, lotdocking 100%. I think you worry too much about being caught. I've had two "knocks": Walmart in Albuquerque and Walmart in Virginia or Pennsylvania. For your stealthmobile, any stripmall would be perfect. (Though someone may siphon your gas or steal your catalytic converter.) Id recommend Rentacenter/ Aaron's/ Best Buy / furniture stores since they all have box trucks or snuggle in wirh Enterprise/ Budget/ Penske/ Hertz truck rental staging lots.

[@TK79123]

Good info. This is why I am opting for the box truck. Even though they are high in gas they seem to go unnoticed.

[@hugohackenbush6474]

@TK79123 If you go that route, and aren't on a real tight budget: I've heard they ride terrible. Safe-T-Plus (located in Georgia) has a fantastic steering stabilizer ($500ish installed), front & rear anti sway bars, Koni struts, and add a leaf spring to the rear (Tampa Spring Company did that on my E-350 chassis).

My stepdad once told me to never park where you can't just pull straight out to leave, mostly because one night I went to emergency room and pulled straight into a parking spot that was headed downhill, during an ice storm, and when I came out, my car was dead, and ice had flowed under the tires. I called him to come give me a jump start, but he couldn't because I was parked with several cars on either side of me with the nose of the car headed down into the fence at the edge of the parking lot...and he couldn't push the car uphill, esp. on ice. We ended up coming back for the car later... Moral of the story is, back into dead end parking spot, for several reasons...

This happened to me one time. What my friends did was disconnect the battery from their pickup and carry it over to my car and use it as a jump box to charge my battery and then I was able to start up my car.

[@IndianaDipper194]

[@samsonite8400]

Most people who can live in a storage facility either works there or is a family member of the owners of it. There are several storage facilities I've seen where the manager and his wife would pull in after the office hours, they'd park inside the gate and get lost in the storage halls. Actually they live there as one section of the area is a built in apartment disguised to look like several storage units from the outside. It's also how they keep an eye if a fire ever starts or someone is tresspassing. Someone lives in 'Every storage facility'.

[@raymonddriggers]

Great all you need now is to get a huge flag and wave it all around! Those attendant at the storage ride the property and it’s not to difficult to realize were the food odor is coming from especially seeing huge yellow blocks

[@markspence3295]

My thoughts entirely. That smell is gonna bring the hounds right in.

[@chantillyvintage]

I manage a storage facility and I can’t tell you how many people I have thrown out that are sleeping in their vehicles or in the actual units. Their leases are immediately terminated. Our leases specifically state NO sleeping or cooking on the property. The fire liability is huge and it’s the other tenants that will lose everything because of selfish people and their negligence. I even had a guy that would lock his dog in a unit while he went to work all day, in 100 degree heat. Idiots!!!

[@LovingAtlanta]

💡Also, just a note for anyone who cares: I have a friend who owns a couple of those storage facilities. The storage facilities will 100% know who comes and goes and when, what time, how long you stay etc. If you try to park and stay overnight every day or often. They will know. They know what’s happening on their property and when they discover / figure out that you’re doing what he just did, they will cancel your rental space. Sometimes they go so far as to red flag you so sister locations won’t rent to you. I will also say, sometimes you get a property manager who doesn’t care. They know what you’re doing and as long as you’re not causing a problem or bringing attention to yourself….they don’t care and won’t say anything to you. 😂💝

As a garbage truck driver it’s pretty normal to have to really slam dumpster as hard as possible to get things dislodged. Usually large items like mattresses or couches that people jam in are sometimes impossible to get out but you still slam it like crazy to try.

I worked for several storage facilities in SoCal a few years back and we not only found but also allowed several people to live, very carefully and quietly in some of the storage units. We had 24 hr access so people didn't really worry if there were other people running around. They were nice people, so we had no problem with them

[@BrianPhillips-bv8cn]

Hey, I am pleased to find your channel. I have been a detailed builder of many things for years and appreciate your attention to details. I long time friend of mine has made several stealth vehicles conversions. One was a Dodge Caravan but his current live in favorite is a Ford E250 panel van. An interesting point is that he went to a great deal of trouble to install about 6 micro video cameras around the vehicle at very strategic points. He uses a 12 vdc operated video camera multiplex recorder/playback unit and can watch all cameras on 1 LCD monitor (also 12 vdc). The controller has movement detection for all cameras and will enlarge any image that detects pixel changes. So this greatly increases his "situational awareness". Here another one of his ideas. He has athe male end of an extension cord that hangs discreetly behind his rear bumper. When it's available, he plugs into an outdoor electrical outlet and it recharges various battery banks while he lives inside. If he has to start up the van and leave quickly, the cord just detaches when he drives off. He also used super thin solar panels on the roof to recharge during daylight. Hope you guys like his ideas. Everyone keep up the good work and HELP ONE ANOTHER! Cheers from Missouri.

[@LilyBecca]

We have 2.5 acres with hens for eggs, a huge garden, and 4 sheep to keep the grass low, and we do meat chickens and pigs every year. We both work full time. It's a lot of work getting everything set up, but once that is done, the daily work is minimal. We process all the meat chickens ourselves. It takes one day and we have enough chicken to last all year. The pigs we have someone do for us. We get to pick how we want the meat done, and we get everything back in labeled packages, just like what you buy at the store. We do a few specialty things like Hawaiian sausage links and Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage links. I can't even eat store bought pork, chicken, or eggs anymore. It tastes weird to me. I'm in Northern California, about 40 miles north of San Francisco, 20 minutes from the beach. Our weather is fantastic, so our garden is year round.

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

That's awesome! Once my property is fenced in I want to get into meat chickens, a couple goats and alpaca.

@@TheTechnoBarbarian I wish we had done goats instead of sheep. The sheep are so boring! Goats have so much personality, but they are escape artists, so secure fencing is a must.

[@tdhawk167]

What a great set up! My dream to have similar!

[@EfficientRVer]

Everyone who says that using leveling blocks was a major blunder, was correct. NOBODY storing a vehicle levels it. It absolutely screams "person living in this allegedly-stored vehicle, at least intermittently". Everyone who says that cooking there was a major blunder, was also correct. Think of where the word nosey comes from. You could have completed the trifecta by leaving a row of 28oz PowerAde bottles full of pee lined up as a fence around the truck. Overall a very ill-conceived plan, basically doing something to violate a storage lease you presumably need/value. My deceased friend Glenn Campbell (the Area 51 researcher, not the singer) was the master of using self storage locations as a home base. Early on, he learned the lesson "Never sleep, camp, cook, do anything out of the ordinary, or spend the night anywhere that you actually store your stuff or care about keeping your space." In your case, that means pulling this trick at a storage place completely unrelated to the one where you want to normally store your truck. When they caught him (in a unit, but the idea applies to a stored vehicle also) they canceled ALL of his contracts for storage units and banned him from all their locations, permanently. So, he ended up having to move everything he owned to a different storage place with different ownership. Then he had to rent another unit in yet another place with different ownership from either of those. Then, if he got caught sleeping on the property and they canceled him, his stuff was still perfectly fine. He just needed to walk to yet another place/owner and rent a unit. His "base of operations" was Las Vegas, so there was no shortage of places to rent a unit in anytime he got caught. I had the honor of buying him a buffet lunch at Orleans, then dropping him off at his "base of operations", a storage place near his pre-divorce house, but kept as an "undisclosed location" until he trusted you. The one thing you did well, was figuring out the space was pretty sheltered from cameras. I once stealth-slept in a casino parking lot one or two weekend nights per week, for years, when hotel rates there were astronomical. I figured out which 6 spaces were most sheltered from their multitude of cameras and lights, and which one of those was best for drawing no attention for other reasons. It had to be a space which made sense to park in when the garage was almost empty, or choosing it all the time (and then having an oddball walk to the elevators from a seemingly lousy space with no good reason to choose it) might raise suspicion. I finally got a knock from security a couple of weeks before the casino got shut down for the pandemic. Pretty good timing to not get caught until 2 weeks before I gave up being a professional poker player. And it wasn't a big deal. I just had to leave or go inside the casino, and know they'd be more likely to catch me sleeping in the car from then on. Don't assume that the storage company contacted you just to get your registration info. It may or may not have been a shot across your bow, with them deciding to see if you repeat the sleepover. If they can solve the problem without having to confront and embarrass you, that is a good business decision. They can escalate if you don't get the hint. Not everything which seems to be a coincidence, is a coincidence. It won't be a coincidence if you do it again, and a week later a camera is pointed right at your space. Or if you do it again and they boot you out. Decide how much you value the space, and figure out a Plan B, C, and D if you choose to continue the experiment.

Yeah, that was definitely not a coincidence when they contacted him. Doesn't matter if he was parked where there were no cameras. Video coming in, no video of him coming out by any means. No brainer. 20 plus years ago I know people that ran businesses out of these storage places. One in particular was a mechanics garage, Lol. Probably will never see anything like that again.

[@maxpayne7312]

@@cashonly6117I’m sure they monitor those cameras 24/7 and just because you’re hidden from the camera doesn’t mean they can’t see you And they probably have nightly patrol of the storage facility I think the registration number was a ploy to get him out of there (they probably had it all along but that call was his warning to get the hell out of the storage facility ASAP)

New subscriber, looking to buy a box truck and remodelling it into a stealth home on wheels. I have a masters degree I want to complete in Toronto and I'm not too keen on paying $3k a month for rent (especially since I haven't paid rent in years and own a mortgage-free house). I often thought about camping out in a storage facility and haven't heard anyone else talking about it. So thanks for sharing your experience. I don't think they'd care as long as you're paying the money to them. Another way around it (i.e., not paying) is to camp out in their parking lot overnight and when they come in in the morning (if you haven't managed to leave before that time), simply say you were there to inquire what the price of a parking space inside was. The result is that you get a free night sleep out of it. Of course, you couldn't do this at the same place more than once but I've heard from other channels that you really shouldn't do that anyway (i.e., multiple nights in one location).

Install helper air springs on the rear with separate valves for each side- then you can level it just using your suspension and not being so obvious with blocks. Onboard air is good for lots of other things- so a small compressor and a used tank off an old Lincoln Continental for $25 at a junkyard will provide all the air you need.

I have a job at one of those storage facilities. They do check the gate codes to make sure everyone coming in is also going out. Granted some people follow others in and out but they will eventually figure it out. I personally don’t care as long as they don’t leave a bunch of trash , pay their bills on time & don’t cause problems.

Don’t the block defeat the purpose of “stealth”?

[@motopolak]

First off, I think if you sprayed all of them black they wouldn't stand out so much as those yellow ones. But also, I'm going to assume if the average person saw a truck sitting on some blocks like that their first thought would probably be that it's being parked there and being worked on. So I agree it's not 100% stealth but I don't think it would draw too much attention in most situations as long as they were painted a dull color.

Rule # 1 NEVER push down on a burger just leave it. That will do two things, 1st the burger will be juicy like there supposed to be and 2nd you won't fill the uhaul with smoke.

[@arachosia]

But smash burgers are easily the best burgers in existence.

[@William-i6i]

@@arachosiawhen you flatten a hamburger it reminds me of Mc Donald's swill.

[@sethswanson9839]

Best places I found when I was homeless in my car was in business parks. Places I stayed always had box trucks parked.

[@micheleobrien64]

Why haven't I ever put bacon bits in hamburgers?!!!

[@userinfo2081]

i really like watching how you go to some random place and cook!

[@bigt9391]

Great video gives me a lot of ideas did you ever get the society thing up let me know if I bring my truck there can can we convert

[@RomanErokhin]

Man, that's really cool! Now I know that I want a stealth truck home 😊

[@zorkmon]

how did you charge the battery that's my issue at storage stealth places - do you rely on solar panels on truck or alternator battery to charge battery before usage top up everyday for night time ?

[@AlwaysOnP0int]

Have you considered adding air bags to the rear? Or both front and rear? That seems like itd be perfect for these box trucks, would allow you to level the truck on almost any surface from the dash, as well as improving the ride. The sound of the electric air compressor might not be very stealth though. Maybe a belt driven York 210 build under the hood? I'd totally do it on that rig

[@davidsanders6957]

I moved to, built a "hotel-type" room in a storage warehouse, lasted 3 years. Poppa's pad when momma got mad, lasted Jonathan anticipated. Saved enough for house down payment !!! 😅😅😅

[@imxploring]

Cameras aren't usually monitored 24/7.... they are more likely being recorded and the video will only be reviewed if they an an issue such as a theft or property damage.

[@billseward2274]

Impressive build.

[@justinpolley2490]

I wonder if induction cooking would be more efficient?

[@williamsedlock3903]

I agree too thick too much bread that looks absolutely perfect and yes I like mine hard cook on the outside also I like a good bark on it lol

[@jedics1]

While parking at a storage place is not desirable having the option because your home is 100% stealth is. It opens up so many options for cheap living basically anywhere you can park it legally, I don't have an instagram worthy view at the industrial estate Im in but its quiet and secure, close to everything I will ever need and dirt cheap. When this living arrangement ends I will simply find another one eventually and park around the city until I do bringing true peace of mind that most with a house mortgage dont have. I like the term "parallel society" its the kind of thinking required to maintain freedom in our current system. Your murphey bed/desk set up an excellent example of a true no compromise multi use space which is why I did the same thing in a small apartment with a studio nook....Great minds and all.

[@Valosia]

Love what you are planning on doing, love this video.. love it all. 😊❤

[@e.Kennedy246]

LOl, this is a video of all you are not to do when going stealth! But hey, the sandwich looked delicious😁!

[@EmperorLAJ9]

This build is insanely genius!

[@lenicholstech]

This looks so fun. I have yet to try stealth camping but it’s on my agenda to try an vlog.

[@StaceNyourFace]

You should go up to the front gate and use your code and pretend like you left before you hunker down for the night. Some storage facilities check to make sure everyone who has coded in has also coded out. Or, you could try to draft in behind someone going in the gate and avoid entering your code entirely.

[@fahqahsowl6498]

Then you'd have to walk up to the front gate in the morning to code back in, so you can code back out when you leave. That's a little tricky

[@StaceNyourFace]

@@fahqahsowl6498 Good point. Maybe wait for someone to leave in the morning and go out the gate with them? 🤔

[@PamOrl]

I’m curious as to the healthfulness of living in poorly ventilated, VOC off-gassing vehicles.

[@adventureswithgrumpyjim1089]

your truck is really cool you have done a lot of thinking about the design. the use of spare is excellent. and best part about it is no one knows. take care, be safe, and stay stealthy

[@beld6113]

Omg😱 the suspense music waiting for the gate to open was like watching a thriller movie waiting for someone to jump out from the bushes 🤣🤣🤣 love this vid 👌🏽

[@dart336]

First time watcher so idk how things stand in your plans: you try to find a large storage locker, the ones designed for parking big vehicles. Camp out inside of it.

[@maryd253]

Very impressive set up

[@pjmnash]

So glad to add you to my short list of Steve Wallen, and now I have two guys to learn from. I just subscribed. Thank you, sir!

[@blackenigma1054]

with that suspenseful music as you waited for the gate to open, i half expected some little short woman to come out and stand in front of the truck!😳😂😂😂

[@IrishMexican]

Dude, keep the videos coming! Love you channel

[@cognitivedissonancecamp6326]

Bro had the Bluetti set to WELL DONE!

[@ComeatMEOW]

I work out of these types of storage sheds , the cameras are literally there to capture anyone breaking in. If there is a live in owner you would just be fine as long as didnt make noise or be to filthy with litter.

[@snowmankillz713]

Hahaha the blocks 😂 dude you can’t be serious .

[@43supermark]

You may have addressed this previously but I'm new here. Why don't you have security cameras outside your rig?

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

I have 8 total cameras on it for 360 degree visibility but I found out on this trip that my receiver stopped working. There's a dedicated video on my channel for the install

[@Dnasty1]

Great video. Was wondering if you could have just gone to Home Depot and use wood to level it?

[@donjohnson7746]

Dose it have a roof vent? Or is it standard rv type roof with everything solor ac i imagine.
