I'd say something like a '62 VW camper bus. I used to have one, and had no problem parking it just about anywhere to sleep the night. Of course, that was the 60s.
Why would you need to build a RV that does not look an RV? Does not add up.I have never heard of stealth camping so I looked it up one definition included leaving no trace behind so if someone leaves a mess then is it really stealth camping? It also sounds to me like not all of it is illegal if it is done in a place that allows it.
Who’s Hank?To answer the original question. Full size van, no windows with "Hanks Plumbing" painted on the side.
Just sounds like a good name for a plumber.Who’s Hank?
Thank you. I was through 2 pages of responses here and it seems that most everyone assumes that "stealth camping" is an attempt to avoid legal/rules issues. The OP didn't define the term, so I guess everyone was left to interpretation, but how/why so many jumped on the idea that he was trying to break laws is beyond me.I have never heard of stealth camping so I looked it up one definition included leaving no trace behind so if someone leaves a mess then is it really stealth camping?

On city streets? Why? If I am looking for a general camping spot, on public streets in cities is not the place that is on my lists of campsites. I think the OP still needs to be a bit clearer on their cryptic intentions, if nothing more than for kicks.Everyone has access to a search engine and can look up what "stealth camping" is generally about. It is literally about going camping, unnoticed.
If it were allowed, it would not need to be stealthy.It also sounds to me like not all of it is illegal if it is done in a place that allows it.
So does that mean it is always illegal? I can see how it could be but not sure if it is always.Everyone has access to a search engine and can look up what "stealth camping" is generally about. It is literally about going camping, unnoticed.
Asking about rigs that would be inconspicuous in a large city is a pretty clear indication that someone wants to camp illegally.So does that mean it is always illegal? I can see how it could be but not sure if it is always.
After a couple more searches I see what you are talking about.Asking about rigs that would be inconspicuous in a large city is a pretty clear indication that someone wants to camp illegally.
Funny thing you using a pic of a parking area specifically opened for the homeless by the city of San Francisco.This is what stealth camping looks like in my area. This is a really clean area. Most areas are covered in trash, junk and smells like on open sewer. Once they are moved out the area is full of batteries, empty propane tanks, non-running generators, bicycles and shopping carts. Just no respect for the land or the surrounding community. As people become less tolerant the RV's are replaced with the "Stealth" RV and move into residential neighborhoods. So this issue becomes my issue. My RV is in storage but when I bring it home to pack within 24 hours I get a notice to tow due to the negative attitudes towards RV's. My RV is clean and well kept but to most it is just another RV.
In a week it will be a toxic dump. Soon heading your way now that California is invading Nevada.Funny thing you using a pic of a parking area specifically opened for the homeless by the city of San Francisco.
On Wednesday, San Francisco opened its first “vehicle triage center,” a long-term parking lot geared for people living out of cars and recreational vehicles, which City Hall hopes will offer solutions for homeless residents who rely on vehicles as shelter but have trouble securing legal parking.
The lot right by the Balboa Park BART station at 482 Geneva Avenue is only modestly sized, offering 30 parking spots, along with basic amenities like shower facilities and security.
