Going Stealth in an Aliner Part 2 

It's pure genius, no one is going to suspect someone is sleeping inside a collapsed Aliner. It looked surprisingly comfortable. I love the whole concept it's brilliant.

Even in "Stealth" mode your Aliner beats sleeping in a tent or the back of a pickup. Thank you for all your videos.

"Stay away from cheap burritos." You need to put that on a t shirt. Always great advice.

Not only very clever but your sense of humor is always great! Enjoy all your vids.

Wouldn't work for me; I snore. Everyone would know I was in there.

I would never in a hundred years think anyone could be inside that thing. I live in a van going on 4 for years, love your videos. You have shown me many new places I need to check out Have fun my friend.

I'm shocked a person fit in there. Never would have known that was possible until this video.

I liked the lock hatches that was the answer I was looking for - thanks

For whatever reason, I find this video to be the most comfy video ever published on RU-vid, I watch it every time I'm drunk and I'm like ''man I'd love to do that!''

That is so cool !!.. no one would ever suspect!!!.. now THIS is truly stealth 👍

Looks cozy! Like a capsule hotel in Japan

This is brilliant! We had a tent trailer when I was a kid, which I then took over from my parents when I had my own family. I don't think this would work with a bunch of kids in tow, but certainly for a solo or couple. I've always wondered about stealth camping if you are a snorer. I can imagine thinking you are being all sneaky, sleeping in your vehicle on the side of a road, and having people hear you snoring away, giving your stealthy camping away. lol! I've stealthed outside of my son's place in Vancouver in my little RV. It was residential, everybody parks on the street, kept the lights off, and my animals were all in there with me. I figured if I got a knock, the dogs would bark and it would appear that it was just them inside. I spent 2 nights there with no problems at all. One of the things I love about my little RV is that I can make a getaway without needing to get out of the vehicle. Haven't ever had to do that, thank goodness, but if the occasion ever arises....I'm good to go! -Sue

Use two back=up cameras to see when it's clear to get out...

Thank you for being so open & upfront about these kind of situations - so many people aren't! I may be in a place where I can use this knowledge soon!!! So, again, thank you! Take care & God bless! 😊

Looks to be about the same room as a teardrop. Maybe not a wide for sleeping but plenty for one. Good idea. 😉 --Mark

Awesomeness that you are so well prepared for so many things. Love that your so handy in making modifications when it needs it. Great ideas for sure.

Thanks for the video Slim. I've watched several of your videos and have found them entertaining and informative.

We thoroughly enjoy your phenomenal videos! God Bless you in all you do!!!!

you've convinced me that an Aliner should be my next camper. Watching for the right one at the right price in the right location. We now have a T@B, which is nice, but this one seems roomier. Watch for us on the road.... sometime soon. PS: very helpful videos. thanks!

Crazy! (In a good way.) I would never have thought of this. Thank you for this video.

The Stealth Mode may be the way to go in those HIGH WIND STORMS... you could bungee a tarp over the whole thing and be much safer from strong winds. just a thought.

With a wireless (backup) camera in the car, you can see outside.

Subscribed. I've only watched two of your videos, but I can tell you're a straight shooter with wisdom and knowledge to share. Look forward to watching more of your videos.

Wow...I would have never thought anyone would or could sleep in a closed up A-Liner or any other pop top camper!! That is really the ultimate stealth though as nobody would ever suspect you were inside!!

That was just brilliant , I have been looking for part two for a week . You have such creative ideas , keep the vids coming . Annette

You are a genius. If you can’t figure it out, no one can.

Slim...you are soooo funny. I so enjoy your sense of humor, your creativity, your practicality & your transparancy. Safe & extraordinary travels, sir.

In Walden, Thoreau mentions long wheeled boxes workmen carried their tools in and wonders why no one just lives in one. You have improved on that idea. My fear would be a 3 am driver plowing into the trailer whilst I was asleep.

Great ideas, thanks for sharing, happy camping mate

Very ingenious and very cozy! Thanks!

It’s better to be regular. Indeed! I’ve been thinking about doing this myself - for all the same reasons. Thanks for the encouraging share!

Ha! That's brilliant! I agree, the margin between industrial and residential is a great place to stay.

Very cool and useful vid for those with the Aliner unit. Great work and thanks for sharing!

Maaaaate you are bloody awesome, from an Aliner owner from downunder.

Your the Houdini of the Aliner...great information and videos

very impressive, well organized. Always safe trips!

I was extremely curious as to how you could pull off stealth camping in an Aliner... Very cool to watch how you do it...

A great topic! Avans are the best! You know the subject very well. Thank's.

You've got more room in the collapsed A-Liner than I had in my minivan, and I slept just fine inside many times on long trips. Very stealthy too.

Boys and thier forts😂🤣😂❤

Best camping/stealthing video out there!

I dont have an Aliner but a regular travel trailer but I cant stop watching these videos

Slim, you are the best!! I'm In Tucson and if you ever need anything feel free to let me know! You're seriously my favorite RU-vidr!

You are my favorite RU-vidr.

You are a sensible guy! This all makes sense. Cheers!

I just starting to looks your videos and I love it that's something I always wanted to do but unfortunately I still got to work but it is very nice all the things you teach others very helpful

love it! I've done a bunch of this (commented on part one with my suggestions). A few other ideas...a five gallon bucket makes an impromptu toilet; get some kitchen trash can liners to avoid the need to clean it out. something I never tried, but you reminded me of...police station parking lots. :-) I'll have to try that, next time I'm doing the gypsy thing. A cooler with "blue ice" and PB&J fixings, saltines, etc. stuff that won't kill you if it gets warm. (Pickles, nuts, seeds, some cheeses, crunchy-veggies, un-cut fruit or dried fruit.) Stopping at a grocery before you start looking for your place to bed-down is handy. Probably the handiest suggestion, for those young enough to do it (I gave up this one years ago!) is to stop for 4-5 hours in the early afternoon in mall, grocery or "big-box" parking lots. Park away from the building, and you can usually get a good sleep in, then drive all night. I find after that you can stop at fast food place (with lots of parking) around 6 or so, ask the manager if it's okay if you sleep in your "car" for an hour, since you've been driving all night. I've done that a ton, and can only recall 2-3 times when the store manager said no. When I did that, I'd always go back in to thank the manager, and let them know I was clearing out. Just one less thing on the back of their mind. My rig was a commercial trailer (22' job) that was modified a bit...not as an RV, but, I could use it as an emergency shelter. I pulled it with a F250 (originally) and then an F150 (struggled a bit). I've not done this for years. I've been wanting to get another trailer (probably smaller) and convert it to straight RV (on the inside) with construction logo on the outside.

Brilliant video! Thank you for the tips, I hope to see more stealth camping videos :)

Great video and great idea!

Just found your channel, good stuff! Really love the camper hard sides! Very interesting info thanks!

Very cool tips, thanks! I would like an A-Liner to pull behind my Dodge Dakota!

Nice to have the option!! Great video!!! Many thanks!!

EXCELLENT VIDEO SENOR POTATOHEAD...Great Work Dude!!!

Good video. Thanks for the tips.

I have had to spend a few nights at interstate rest areas. Some were posted no camping. I climbed in the back of my pickup that had a camper shell and fixed up inside to sleep in it. Nobody bothered me,not even night security.

Nice for those "travel days" between destinations

I like the shot of you going out with your hoodie on. You looked mysterious

Yes-I thought you were kidding at first😁-but no!-and, wow! Seems to be a fine idea!!...thanks for sharing!

I am just in awe !! Hoodie was a nice touch...lol

You really are so clever!!! Happy trails!

Nice work on this sir. I never even considered it until this vid.

Thanks 😊 my friend Would enjoy meeting you in the now.

If it lets air in then in the summer's warm weather it would let bugs i.e. mosquito's in as well. But with a bug head net, covered by a blanket or sleeping bag and your ear plugs, you'll be good to go :)

Good video! I am glad you covered number two, although I wouldn't want to do that...

I must be weird but I imagine the sound of that rain on the roof would send me to sleep so quickly . It sounded so cosy . Good videos mate . You seem very chilled out whatever the weather .

Enjoyed your segments! Faye

Better start heading to Vancouver Island before you get snow up to the roof of the Camper in Calgary N.E. overlooking the City. Nice and toasty warm in Comox today Nov. 11th, plus 12 but wetter than the morning hours.

I just love the sound of the road!! We traveled a lot and us kids always fell asleep in no time!!😉😍😄 There was 12 of Us😄🤔🤗😍

Wow I enjoyed watching this video. I was amazed that you were able to sleep in your Aliner

I couldn't imagine doing this in most of Australia. By 6.a.m., it'd be 120F or more! But the concept is awesome.

You've got the A liner dialed in! Well thought out. Atb Sean

Thanks Slim for showing this possibility. I've always worried, if you were caught in a violent windy storm, the trailer might fall on its side. This method now, would be to make its profile lower to its centre of gravity. Thanks for sharing.

Aliner is perfect for stealth camping. Greetings,, Kitty.

Love your videos, thanks

I really like this kind of trailer. Might turn my Harbor freight trailer into an A frame folding camper.

I’m hooked on your videos just subbed lol. I live in Canada too but I winter camp in a cabellas outfitter tent with a wood stove!

That was cool, I would have never guessed someone would be in there sleeping. Very stealth 👍

not set up it made me think of a teardrop trailer. good vid

You seem to have more room and organization as most minivan campers. You were lucky to find a level spot. Can you think of any strategies for crowned roads? level the wheels or level the bed?

Interesting setup, Slim. I'm working my way thru your videos, and enjoying it. You've definitely got a creative streak. As to seeing outside when you're inside with the top down, have you considered the security peepholes like you find in a hotel door? It might or might not work, given it's only maybe 3 feet off the ground. But you never know. Thanks for the videos, and keep up the good work.

You sir, are my hero :)

Pretty cool I would not even think anybody was inside the trailer 🤔👍👍

Hey, I like your work, keep it up bro...

Awesome idea thanks for sharing

Hospital parkng lots are good choices, especially near the emergency room entrance. They usually have a security guard wandering around, relatives frequently congregate nearby when their special person is getting ER services so it is not that rare.

5 gallon home Depot bucket...2 bagger top lined with a slit noodle for cushion😆 Subscribed!☺😊😀😁😂😃😄

The smell of that A&W in the tiny space BARFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Slim u r the man.. 👍👍

Informative and everything is handy

From my experiance of sleeping on streets like that, since that didnt appear to be a busy road, Your allowed to do it as long as your gone before 7am or 8am, its not like you put the A-Frame up into full mode, Ive seen people at my parents place ona residential street sleep in Travel trailers and 5th wheels before in calgary, noone really cares as long as you dont run a loud generator all night

That's not too cramped. I slept a few times in my bmw 318i. I folded the seat backs down, spread out my sleeping bag and slept just fine...in my trunk/back seat:)

I haven't read all of the comments, if this has already been answered (sorry). How do you secure the door from inside? Actually, I rewatched this & saw that when you enter (@1 minute, 35 seconds approximately), there's a latch handle already installed. Good!

Gatorade bottles were good for one item, a cap does not leak if you got tight.

Hi I really enjoy your videos and you have given me some good things to think about. 💌🕊💌🕊💌🕊💌🕊💌 Thank you so much. B

Haha sir, stealth😂😂 ”stay away from cheap burritos”😂😂

male urinals like they use in hospitals can be used lying down(with practice. i used to stealth it in a converted van in apartment complex parking lots

Good video...learn things everyday .✌

I was just going to type the same comment below...lol😅😆😊I'm loving this Aline!

Slim,a couple of small CC TV 's outside might help ?? James UK.

Woah! I didn’t know it could do that!
