I once went trekking one afternoon around Hampstead Heath for about 6 hours or so and I saw a guy in a van, similar to yours, cooking his dinner on a spoon and he used a lighter underneath it to heat it! Absolute genius! It must have been a bloody good meal cos he was fast asleep by the time I was heading home 😊

@PillSharks 3 года назад

Yes, I always enjoyed it when I was driving wagons...winter was always ok but I remember having a night in Devon in -2 and the night heater wasn’t working, that wasn’t very nice and I remember all drinking water had frozen! Also, the other end was driving on the continent, parked in a lay-by down past Paris, it had been close to 40 in the day and only ac was when engine was running, I had my wife at the time and we ended up sleeping with the engine running with the ac on... not great sleeping above a running 12 litre diesel engine! Anyway, great video

@Got_nuffin_on_me not nice if you need a number 2! I took my wife on a trip to Paris, I’d delivered there a few times before and near the drop was a nice little bakery, I told her to pop in and buy some food whilst I was working, we left and headed up to Tilburg in Holland and parked up for the night, unfortunately whatever it was gave us both bad stomaches, two people living in a box with the shits...not a pleasant experience! Lol As for staying away, I normally did a Monday to a Friday but if you went across the water you normally left on a Sunday... however I do remember when the company gave me my first decent truck, the owner said “ I’m happy to give you this wagon, providing wherever that wagon gets sent, you go with it”. So I could have really been sent anywhere in Europe! Trust me, the novelty soon where’s off!

@AJGeeTV 3 года назад

Great! We did this in the early to mid-1980s when going to concerts at Wembley from Stoke on Trent. Best place we ever picked was right next to the Abbey Road pedestrian crossing where The Beatles were pictured! There were no helicopters then, and the police did visit us once in the district of Bow, and directed us to a safer spot to sleep in out car right outside their police station. They even brought us cups of tea in the morning. Bet that would never happen today....

Please keep these videos coming, because they really are good for soothing the mind. You suggest that you feel sad doing this, but imagine how that makes us look watching you lol. We can all relate one way or another. What you have done to your car is quality. What a gem of a channel man. Keep the stealth camping content coming bro, just seeing the English outdoors, especially during lockdown, is very special. All of your stealth camping videos are amazing. No surprise you are on 90k subscribers - great style of presenting and cinematic skills; make even the basic things look spectacular.

@TheCopyright45 3 года назад

Great video mate. I used to work as a self employed chauffeur until 2010 and travelled across GB. I live in London but could drop off in Scotland in the evening and not be returning until the following afternoon. I drove a Viano and spent many a night sleeping in it. My favourite spots to park were the 24hr supermarket car parks. Easy access to food/drinks and toilets. As long as I had purchased something the staff left me alone and back then there weren't any time limits in most supermarket car parks. I'd park as far away from the entrance as possible and in the darkest spot for added privacy. It was bitterly cold in winter, brutal to be honest. Two heavy duty sleeping cocoon bags did the trick in the end and an electric hot "water" bottle heated from the 12V socket. Good memories of freer days. All the best for future adventures mate.

@jibbajabba4597 3 года назад

Many years back when I was nearer your age and had to sleep in my car at various spots, a way I found to avoid condensation buildup was to keep the internal temp consistent overnight and crack a window open slightly, I had a 12v fan heater and used to put it on the lowest setting and just leave it running all night (had a separate battery for that), never had any major mould or condensation problems.

You can cook Spanish omelette, you must fry the finely cut potatoes and when they are somewhat toasted, not much mix them with two or three eggs already beaten and fry it again extended equally in the pan and leave it over low heat for about 10 or 15 minutes. After that time and with a flat plate you put it on top of the pan, turn the tortilla over and fry it again for another 10 or 15 minutes on the other side, after that time it will be done. You can add to this tortilla, peppers or onion while frying the potatoes, fry it as well. You can eat it with salad and white wine. It will like you.. Thanks for the video and take care.

Dude, you need to be removing the interior trim panels from the back to give an extra 2 foot of space. I also wouldn't be stealth camping in London or any big city for that matter, it's a really good way to get hassle. What I used to do when I lived in my van was find a multi-storey carpark or park at a tesco where there's cameras around. And when it comes to food, cook as little as you can inside but if you have to cook I'd be doing some simple things like ramen, cheese toasties, french toast, omelettes, that sort of thing

I'd often sleep in my car while on trips in the Highlands of Scotland, I felt very cosy and safe so totally get that ,it is like being back in the womb in some ways, the quiet feeling in your own little cocoon, I didn't have a van , it was a BMW hatchback which was remarkably roomy with the back seats laid flat, cooking I did outside the car, fold up table and a windbreak, often I'd take water from a nearby stream and boil it up, some mornings I'd wake up and my bottles of water inside would be frozen solid, so it was quiet chilly overnight to say the least, it helps if you have a dog to keep you warm, as a hot water bottle they are great as they are still giving off heat in the morning. :-) I lived in London for 30 years , I often wondered about the idea of living in a van, I believe there are people who do it for months and months, out of necessity really as rents are so high.

Get a webasto heater from a Peugeot 807 (ultimately a better vehicle for camping in general). You can wire it up to run as a night heater, it uses the diesel fuel in your tank.

Hi you can use Campbell concentrated soups poured over “instant/ 3 minute pasta with whatever you like mixed in. fried mushrooms chicken, onions peppers or whatever takes your fancy topped with cheese. I see you are using small bottles of gas, if you get a blowtorch fitting you can brown off the top of your food using that. While you are at home and have the time you could practice dishes using only one burner on your stove and whatever you take in your car. A Ridge Monkey is ideal for making toasties you can get them at amazon. There is also Frittatas, which is basically an open omelette with meat or veggies in. Mashed potatoes with diced /squashed corned beef and baked beans. When you shop plan ahead and think can i do that quickly in my van.All the very best. rab

@Andrew-pd6ey 3 года назад

Easy food idea for your van You can boil noodles, veg and egg all in one pot. Cheap, and you can get protein, carbs and fibre and depending on the veg you won't even need to keep it cool!

Hi James, your absolutely right in summer it would be far better, not sure how much I'll be getting outside like this as the temperatures drop!

Got a Chinese diesel heater in my Self build camper. Love it, not too hard to install either if you're comfortable cutting 2 holes in the floor. Uses a fair bit of battery on startup and shutdown but ok once it gets going

Ooh, rapid tuna mayo pasta. Boil it, bang in a tin of tuna, bit of mayo, bit of sweetcorn, bit of raw onion and pepper for crunch. Sorted.

@mikeclare5907 3 года назад

Will, so good to see someone with a similar mindset to my own, have just 'tripped over' your video posts. Hope am not teaching you to suck eggs my friend, a cook tip may be to pre cook your evening meal so that its ready to eat or just requires a quick heat up at the required time. My view on being stealthy in town is prep your sleeping bag etc, drive to location and get your head down with minimum fuss and minimum movement. Suggest moving off very first thing in the morning then get breakfast etc. This is a really good plan in a residential situation. Cheers Mike, County Durham.

@WillsWhereabouts 3 года назад

Hi Mike! Thanks for the tips and giving my video a watch. Your defiantly right about preparing the meals would make things more stealthy but then I'de have to be more organised and prepared hah

I just subscribed to your channel because of this video I slept in my van for six months last year I had a Vauxhall combo I had all my belongings with me and all my work tools I had bad back and a headache everyday I did it because I had bailiffs on my case but I really miss living in my van I want to do it again but with a van that’s been adapted to live in

You should get a cutting of 12mm ply 4ft by 2ft or similar that you keep under the foot of the mattress for cooking to protect the place a bit.

Could make foam cutouts to fit in to the window spaces. Would be good for insulation and also to keep out light too.

Roll up your clothes and put them at the bottom of your sleeping bag to keep them warmer for the morning.

@alexjames1146 3 года назад

Very satisfying. #1 wear more clothes to bed including a hoodie. #2 Two hot water bottles. #3 Make a cooking platform with sides and back. You can put a fan at the top to vent the steam.

I always found that in London if you park on the main roads that have no parking restrictions you will be fine. No one will even know you're there, but if you try and hide away in the back roads People do take notice. Hide in plane sight.

The diesel heaters are small, put out dry heat that will control your condensation, and are easy enough to install for the average person. If you don't have a hole saw you'll need to borrow or buy one but other than that it's fairly simple to install in an afternoon.

@WillsWhereabouts 3 года назад

Thanks Fred, I'm going to look into installing a diesel heater as for sure would help!
