Stealth Camping at Walmart

Posted on by

The #StealthCamper in its natural environment.

The choice to go with a white cargo van was all about stealth.
These are one of the most common vehicles in the world
White is also supposed to be the “safest” color for a vehicle

This van doesn’t look like a camper, because it isn’t really a camper.
Park a white van just about anywhere, without causing much concern

Walmarts..
Love them or hate them, they are everywhere, have just about any product one might need, and most are still open 24/7 .. and they have public bathrooms

An added bonus for many stealth campers is their free wi-fi signal in the parking lot
I was just at this one in town, comparison shopping for van stuff.. but i assume ill be in many more Wally Lots in the future
Stay tuned as we travel the USA checking out Gun Shops, Gun Shows, Surplus Stores, Firearms Museums, Factory Tours, etc

Mothers Plastic Black Restorer

Posted on by

I applied some “Mothers Plastic Black Restorer” on the plastic parts of the van

I hear mostly negative things about these products, but the plastic on the van was dried out and faded, so I figure how much worse could it get?
So far the product did as it says, it beought the parts back to life, amd full color.. time will tell how it holds up, stay tuned for updates

Van Update, New floor & Insulation Started

Posted on by

Three-quarter inch foam base then three quarter inch thick rubber mats, for horse stalls, for the floor. It took three of them at 4 foot by 6 foot

Then I use the same three quarter inch thick styrofoam with a mylar side on the van walls and roof

This step alone seems to keep it about 10 degrees or more cooler inside the van

Next will put some 1 inch thick foam boards over the walls and roof what should give us an insulation value of R9

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to upgrade the van
