Hey there,
I realize this is a very old topic but I am very new here, so maybe the two together can make it work out...
I have been street camping four nights a week for about a year now. It has really worked out great for me. Zero problems. But I am setup for it. I have a 2008 Chevy Express Cargo van that I have turned into a camper on the inside. I am totally self contained, though I do drain gray water to the street. Not much grey water in my use, maybe as much as a pint on a typical night.
The van is setup with two solar panels up on the roof and disguised in. I have four deep cycle batteries. I cut a hole in the floor and dropped a basket behind the rear axil that holds two twenty pound propane tanks on a switchover valve.
Now that I have been doing this for a bit I have gotten pretty good at spotting other stealth campers and talked to a few of them. It is a very safe way to live on the cheap. I can park around plumbing or electrical shops. Or the best is small industrial parks surrounded by residential neighborhoods. Quiet, good police protection. This has been for me the perfect answer for an unexpected job change.
