After building out my DIY Uhaul tiny house conversion for over a year and a half, we finally start adventuring. In episode 1 of the stealth camp series, we pay homage to the birthplace of the truck itself (primarily built out of supplies from Home Depot).
Is the truck stealthy enough to stay overnight in a parking lot patrolled by security, right next to a police station?
How comfortably can I live in a parking lot?

You sir have the coolest box truck build on all of YouTube. I've gone to the depths of this platform and watched every box truck and van build series. Your build was slow but also realistic. Congratulations on a successful night enjoying the fruits of your labor. I'm looking forward to future stealth endeavors.

The folding table I used here is my patio setup (for when the patio is open). Eventually, on the table side, I will be building a murphy bed+ murphy bench + murphy table combo. It will be configurable to operate in bench+table mode (standard) or bed mode if there are multiple people staying in the truck. On the Ikea wardrobe side I will be building out my workstation/desk area where I will be doing all of my remote work activities.

"For people that don't watch van build videos all day" doesn't apply here...I've spent my day off from waking 'til now going to bed watching every single one of yours! Thanks for all the ideas, inspiration and showing that what I regard as a drem build, is in fact possible. From across the pond š š“ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó “ó æ

Not sure if I have said this enough out loud but you need to do WAY more of these vids. For your business and advocating for a truck build. Which I totally believe in.

Literally watched every video for this build. Excellent work. Iām inspired. Thank you.

That's a tight squeeze out of that gate! Nice build. We have a Chevy box truck that we built out as well. They are super stealth. Safe travels.

That was an easy stealth . I would call that meal a "Quiche Gumbo" To minimize the problem of cameras on the outside,for at least 2 of them you could mount them in the cab in each corner behind the seats facing diagonally toward the side windows/windshield to get a good forward view.pipe the signal to DVR then on to the TV u mount. Get the smallest 4k IP cameras you can find.

Pretty neat seeing the practicality of the whole setup in action. Definitely makes you appreciate what you've done and what changes will come to the build. I feel like another skylight in the middle like above the kitchen would be useful.

I love the Willy Wonka door into the cab! Great set up:)

Awesome job on the secret mobile home! Just found you a few days ago and watched your videos from start to finish. I have almost the same box truck as you (without the mothers attic) and you have inspired me to try this with mine. Im so glad now that I didnāt sell it, almost did a few weeks ago.

9:13 thanks for that! It was at this moment I wondered how high the ceiling was and if I could fit comfortably.

Emma love you honesty of your life on the road is really like. You are a real trooper, stay safe and enjoy.

Love the skyrim music choice! I use it to sleep to sometimes. It was nice to see the truck in use. You've put in a lot of work and good ideas! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!

Love the set up! It really does look like a small apartment.
-
That has to be the coolest thingIāve ever seen. Absolutely brilliant. making an excellent camper as well.!!!
-
LOL!! You were so nervous!!!!!! No big deal:) In my hobo life, I had overnights in many parking lots before. Home Depot and Walmart parking lot were my first choices.

This is next level Agent 86 Get Smart mobile headquarters. You know that cool modern design where the walls open up to expose the best spy gear or close in to crush you in super slow motion š š¤ š¤ššŖ Thanks for the breakdown at the end about using all that electricity and still having 40% charge left . Then being able to have the solar kick in and recharge the batteries and still run the lights, a/c etc. ššš¤š
