This Feeling by LAKEY INSPIRED
BEST Urban Stealth Camping Van Tour:
This van is Set up as an off-grid stealth camper van.
It is fully equipped with a solar power electrical system. There is a Solar Panel discretely mounted to the roof of the van. All the rest of the electrical components including the Solar Controller, Pure Sine Wave inverter, and deep cycle Gel battery are mounted inside of the van.
The batteries are also connected to the van’s alternator to maximize its charging capabilities. With this electrical system installed, you can watch tv, charge devices, and play video games for hours without running out of power.
There are AC and USB outlets in convenient areas throughout the van, as well as super bright rechargeable magnetic LED lights with 3 brightness levels.
The living area has gas heat and a gas oven/stove. There’s also a fully functional sink and water system, as well a flushing toilet.
For cooking and ventilation, it has a 3 speed Dometic Fan-Tastic roof vent above the kitchen area.
There is a flat screen television that can be angled on a swiveling wall mount which is connected to a DTV antenna and my PS4 video game console.
The couch can seat 3 people and converts into a full sized bed. The couch converts to a bed utilizing a 500lbs capacity industrial drawer slide. There is a massive easy to reach storage space under the bed.
There are 3 layers of insulation which makes it easy to regulate temperature inside the van regardless of the temperature outside of the van.
All cabinets in the van are secured with magnets to make sure nothing falls while the van is moving. There is also a Murphy desk that doubles as a full sized clothing closet.
The van is in excellent mechanical condition. I’ve driven it from Virginia to California and back without a single issue.
This past summer I was on a mission to save as much money as I possibly could, so i decided to build and live in an Urban Stealth Camping Van. In this video I take you on a full tour of everything from the electrical setup to the details of each floorboard and shiplap wall panel.
Stealth Camping is all about doing everything you need to do in a house, while being parked anywhere you want, without ever being noticed. Stealth Camping is honestly one of the funnest things you can do while saving a ton of money, and I honestly believe that this is the most planned out and legitimate setup on youtube.
"I've actually had 3 people sleep in here b4" subtle flex.... Subtle but effective lmao
Yeah I thought this comment would be much higher up lol
he had 3sum😂
@@PardonMeTrevor Right now it's #1.
@Tiramisu Tuesday Well... that escalated quickly...
Ah this dude is just trollin', there is only one race. NASCAR.
This is probably the best build I've seen for a regular, low roof van. Lots of creative ideas.
Thanks I’m glad you like the build!
Great stuff. Affordable and very efficient. Great video.
Totally agree.
Really nice set up like the bed and closet ... well I like everything in that van great job
Yeah good job dude. I'm always keeping an eye out for what my layout would be like if I ever get a non-high top, but...... Standing is pretty dope.
This kid is very very talented. Hes going places with hard work and his god given talent.
I know right? Geez, he is doing things so young like my Dad learned over a lifetime. Brilliant.
Dear mama cathy, Don't you think he deserves, young Man vs "kid"?
He is already there 😊
Out of all the stealth van builds I've watched on KZhead, yours has some of the most ingenious solutions. The counters, the desk-closet, the smoothest slide-out bed I've ever seen in a stealth van...other builders could learn a thing or two!
That's because he doesn't have a toilet or a shower. He's not genius, he's just space wealthy.
@@C.Church he does have a toilet.
@@0HxB0Y man I love KZhead. The only place I can be properly informed of someone's toilet status. 🙃
@@C.Church the sink is the shower
@@jamesv.5637 Is that so? He shrinks to 1ft tall? Or do you mean the sink is a bird bath? Because there is no shower.
I've literally watched hundreds of these van videos and I must say this ranks up there in my top five! Very clean and purposeful build, true stealth, it's like a mini apartment. Nice work!
I agree! really nice. classy finishes, clever build.
pretty stealth...I want one where you can stand up but those are less stealthy unfortunately. I'm got a black Honda Element build at that can is more stealthy lol. Since businesses want to tow passenger vehicles much more than a possible business vehicle.
yep- same for me! good shit ! real tight!!
josh - yeah. I m planning on buying this van?
@@jacklin8431 idk are you? lol
I've watched alot of van build outs and yours is the most realistically useable one I've seen.
Because he's broke, most vanlife youtubers do it because they think it's fun
espresso_deprrsso How is he broke ? All the other youtubers do this and there place is a mess , and they live in it .
Espresso is a hater probably racist white KKK inbred
espresso_deprrsso he’a not broke just being more economical and opting out of the materialistic rat race bullshit. You are right though about the fad boys with no sense of reality same kind of hipster loser who romanticizes living on the street or socialism while living a bloated extravagant lifestyle and complaining about “muh sustainability “
Nah this is still shitty internet fad boy crap. Needless extravagance. The one I saw and got plans for on CheapRVliving is way better. Good full time vandwelling.
Bro no joke I love watching you do this.. Its not just framing and shit it's ART! The shit you come up with and the spots you put it.. And create all in your own head.. Props
The dudes skill to have multi-purpose use items and crafting them is next level!! I’m definitely impressed and would’ve subscribed just to see how he does that in future videos. As well as to enjoy this mans craftsmanship!
all these companies making those expensive sprinter conversions just got clowned by this dudes bed conversion. best I've seen in any of these videos.
Right? like the smoothest bed conversion, meanwhile people outchea doing some crazy transformer slat board bed conversion.
@@KD-dr3gy they're all like "it's so simple to convert it to a bed" and then they dismantle half of their van.
lmao you actually made me laugh when you said clowned
I got to agree that bed conversation has got to be the smoothest one ever not one bit of issues.
Please never delete this perfect video I'm using it to explain van life to my family and close friends
KZhead convert videos, lol. download it.
Most ppl never understand u just have to do it for u
Woah, you just read my mind
Do what makes you happy gorgeous. As long as you're content and happy. That's what matters!
T Wilson it’s always and asshole. You jealous POS.
To be perfectly honest, you're the one who inspired me to live the Nomadic Lifestyle. I thought oh goodness, I want to do this and there you were. Doing everything I desire to do and have. Keep doing what you do 💜
I have been watching van conversions for several years now and this is definitely one of the best I’ve seen. Great job!
Update: I am listing this van for sale if anyone is interested. AMAZING VAN, just looking to build out my own sprinter! Find me on Instagram or drop a comment on one of my KZhead videos if you're interested!
I hope you go far with it! Thanks Lucas
hm did you pay ?
@@Geekmasterproduction yep. I saw that on Twitter too. There was a leaked video of them in the back of the van
Clean all the covers in there. My man said he had 3 peeps in there ;) think about it.
How much you get it for? I can't choose between a small rv or van for seasonal living 3-4mths a yr
Imagine getting smoked in fifa by a guy living in his van down by the river
😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha hilarious bro
Matt Foley approves of this.

Those camp chefs are awesome. ive had my stoven for 8 years! all i have to say is do a soapy water test on the fuel regulator every so often. mine was defective and was leaking propane. definitely would be a good idea to have a gas and monoxide alarm meter
I always find myself watching these van videos. I think this might be one of my favorite ones so far! Very simple but sleek and efficient. Not flashy or too “new” looking to attract any unwanted attention. Looks great!
Imagine you’re driving around with a girl and she ask to go back to your place and you stop and proceed to go to the back of the van and say “hop in!”
@@roncrate6424 What the fuck
Ron Crate oh
Welcome to my humble abode. 😂
If you got money in your pocket and you not broke they don’t care!
Some girls like that kind of thing.
This is about the most solid build I’ve seen. Meaning one in which I’d consider duplicating. Good job my man.
@john boss Wtf? Bruh I can't even lmaoooo 😂😂😂
I was gonna say the craftsmanship looks shitty as hell.. Function before style.. Can't fault him for that. Well done sir. I'de still rock it!
That tile back splash is legit. Love how the light shines on it.
I really love the way you designed the van so that each part of it has multiple functions to accommodate what you want and need to have!! Great design man, I am in the middle of building my own!!
I’ve been obsessed with van builds for months but this is my favorite. Such clever use of space. Well-done sir!!
I dunno if you’ve seen his new one but I think he’s improved a lot even from this
Great Job...the only thing I didn't see was a carbon monoxide detector..dude please get one...other than that..I think for a young man yr age, you are way ahead of the game.
Moira Jilani, I would get 2 or 3 in different brands, bcuz when the gov test CO detectors, the failure rate was very high. Found at nih (.) gov
Moira Jilani
Which game is he ahead in?
Throw in a "Methane" Detector with that toilet setup.
Go Blair84 guess being that I’m about to turn 40 I remember when I was 20 and I thought I had things figured out then too. There’s still a lot of life to go. And a van is only a tiny portion of what life is. A van can only take him as far as until the day he gets sick of it.
Ayyy, I love this! Affordable and doable. I want this life--I'm a nomad at heart.
Great video. I'm 5' 10-1/2" also so I could get some real perspective on how the layout would work for me. Some good ideas here especially the secret compartment. Thanks for posting.
Very cool man! Show us your favorite places to go!
I always find you on the most random videos 😂
Haha whats up donut operator! I watch your videos all the time!👊
Donut!!!!!!!!!!!!
If only he had a tactical beans storage unit and a bushy caterpillar on his upper lip like Ron Swanson... only then could he.... I was going to write a retarded comment but I’m too tired to finish it. But I do like the progress that I’ve made so I’ll just leave it here. Goodnight.
DONUT!!!!!🤘🏽🤙🏽 from SoCal @donut operator
The brick effect behind the kitchen counter is excellent, as is the electric water pump and full-size sink and cooktop. It's such details that make the difference between a typical, tiny "RV kitchen" and yours, which looks more like a regular house kitchen, despite the size limitations. The TV bracket system and bed is intelligently made, too. You've given me some great inspiration and you should be deservedly proud of your work.
This is the cleanest, most organized well put together build out I've seen on YT. You are very talented, really enjoyed this watch.
"I mean you gotta have hiding spaces in a van" - DualEx
Great job and so smart. If I had my life to do over I would save on my rent in my early to mid-20s by trying something like this. If more people did that, it would help with retirement savings, etc. Wish there were more places supporting people doing this, like a college having a safe, designated lot with a nice bathroom/shower building with printers, etc.
Most colleges are for profit
Great use of space but dude NEVER show people your secret compartment!!
Adele Sandry Or your license plate!😐
@@KathrynFritze why not, mine is KTHX22 Fl plate.
@@w00dchuck43 Someone can find where the vehicle is registered and backtrack to your home address, if they were so inclined. I think that's how Markiplier got some fucktards showing up at his house to drool on him a while back. XD He had to move. And knowing his fans, he's lucky he's not tied up in a Buffalo Bill dungeon. >__>
@@w00dchuck43 delete that message, some creeps on KZhead will fuck with you
W00DCHUCK 😂😂😂😂 bruh you have me dead
This guy is awesome, talented and a serial entrepreneur. I've taken so many ideas from these videos already. I would love to see you try your hand at some tiny homes.
Did you watch his video of the RV renovation to a tiny home? It will leave you speechless.
I've watched many builds with a bus, van, truck, etc. But this young man has definitely figured out most efficient build. Everything has multi purpose functions which doubles space and functionality. Definitely a must watch and subscribe artist
Great van build! Uncluttered, functional, attractive and looks comfortable.
Thank you!
Y tú camperizas x si se consigue una furgo
*OUTSTANDING* there is a difference between living in your van because you have to... And living / hanging in your van by choice... Most vandwellers *are ashamed* to let others know they live in their van... Young man you have done this so well people will be jealous. *No shame in your game* .. excellent job 👍
Sheila Outside & Travel !! Awesome
Sheila Outside & Travel !! No shame in your game is now my favorite thing to say!! Thanks for that☺️
@underthesun841 ... Don't blame you...you had bigger fish to fry.
I love this design!!! It's making me think I could totally do a low top. That bed design is amazing and that ottoman addition is awesome. I'm always curious about how low top van lifers cook while on their knees or sitting on the floor. That ottoman seems like a great thing to sit on while cooking.
This conversion perfectly rides the line between practical and luxurious. Well done!!
Dude this is easily my favorite van design. Feels like a real house, but isn't over done. Great use of implementing storage while keeping a good amount of space in there. Great build.
9:43 homeboy shows us where he hides the weed
That's where the gun goes
@@ssnightser215 In emergency he may use knife before take out the gun with it.
haha, lmao
Now where is his plant box HAHAHAHA
It sounds very disrespectful to me.
That is really nice. I've built a trailer camper, remodeled Class As and Cs and just built a DIY truck camper. You did a great job! Looks professional. I also added a diesel heater to mine and works great. No condensation or noxious fumes discharging into sleeping area. Has the feel of a house furnace
Wow it looks sooo spacious in there!! One of thee best conversions I seen so far thank u! Gives me so much hope and ideas for mine 😁🙌🏼
Nice job! I like that you used heavy duty drawer slides to convert your couch to a bed. I've seen so many van dwellers making those interlacing planks that slide in between each other. So much measuring, cutting, and fitting. Your bed is much simpler, uses less material, and probably took you one tenth of the time to complete.
I started with that setup originally, but then switched to this idea. Much more functional
Proud of you young man keep up the good work
LOVE this set up!! Great ideas and use of space. Thanks for sharing your tour with us DualEx... you created the perfect space.
This dude is. You can see he put his personality into the van, ive seen a few of these now and his is the best by far!
great job. somehow made it seem roomier than most small vans
321seb thank you! it definitely feels a lot smaller when the bed is out
Can you imagine how much this would be worth in Silicon Valley or San Francisco? You could probably ask a premium and get it.
Settle down Bruce. Get back to puffing peter.
I hear people in California live in tents .... I guess this van would be like a mansion in California !
@Marie Michaels I just watched a documentary on the rent and property price height because those 6 figure jobs up there. I said this would be great for them or something bigger.
I really liked the backboard on the cushion idea, that's the first time I've seen that, simple but very cleaver and something I haven't thought of before. Thank you for sharing.
Every build of any kind I've seen you do is the best compared to anyone else's. It's top notch, well thought out. So cleverly done. You are gifted.
Seriously....., That is absolutely amazing! I love seeing things like this and people who are able to make it work..thank you for the inspiration!
Shawn LaPlante I’m so glad that you enjoyed seeing the build! Thank you so much!
Your conversation is just amazing, giving me some ideas of how i want to convert my 99 oldsmobile silhouette...it's much smaller though. In regards to the ventilation fan, what pointers can you give in installing that fan on a roof that has those rivet looking lines going across...to where it fit flush. I have the oldsmobile silhouette.
Ive been watching these videos for 3 years now. This is by far the best presentation on the best most practical van conversation ever. Outstanding job young man! A+ n gold star!
Bro, I have been digging your videos. You answer a lot of questions most people kind of glaze over....just subscribed, and will be watching for more upcoming videos!! This one was fantastic!
I know I'm late. You did a great job with your van. I've seen quite a few van make overs and yours looks real nice. Good job.
Suggestion: propane/carbon monoxide detector, and fire extinguisher. Standard protection in RVs. What's the plan after selling it?
Whats it to you? Wtf
Anil Sire he’s saying it for the dudes protection. If propane and carbon monoxide form in the car it’s a safer hazard my guy ooo. He wasn’t yelling at the guy. Hey Stan, why are you so mad?
I'd be more worried that the paper towels are right above the burners.
I’m more concerned you can only fit 2 bitches in the bed with you.
Igor Schmidlapp I was think the exact same thing from a safety perspective
I never disappointed when I watched your work and how you give them a different life. You should be proud of your self. Thank you for sharing.
You are the most informative dude of any van camper conversion ive seen on the tube. Thanks for your intellect and ideas.
Best bed design that ive seen ,brilliant
Julie Herring Took a ton of research and trial & error. Thank you!
Murphy beds are a good idea if room is super tight.
Love the couch design. Pretty slick.
This is possibly the cheapest one I seen yet you only spent $1602 on Amazon Stuff most people spend a couple thousand on renovation
could be even cheaper for people who dont cook. yeah it's not a good thing to be honest but i dont really cook so i would manage with just a mini portable fridge and a microwave. And something to heat water, maybe a kettle or something of the sort. I wouldnt need space for food prep or oven nor almost kitchen stuff storage. I am also used to eat just with a tray in front of my computer, so i am not even lying if i say i wouldnt need a dining table.
@@vanessaruiz4705 Shame on women who cant cook.
@@rzomg as if someone cares of what you think or it makes a difference. I will not read another replies so dont bother.
What a nice van! You put a lot of thought and skill into the build. I loved the stove/oven. Thanks for showing!
A+ for creativity! On thing you need that I might have missed, fire extinguishers.
I’ve been watching these van builds for about three years. I have to commend you for such an awesome build. Love the couch sliders & the free flowing style with functuality. Great idea as well with the product link I’ll be checking that out for sure.👍👍
gotta get paid somehow. Thank you!
out of all of these type of stealth videos I believe yours is the most practical and value packed I've seen. Great job. You could probably build these and sell them for profit. ah I see that you do build and sell these haha. good for you .
You got me! Keep watching to see my next build
That fold down closet is brilliant!! Also I love the secret compartment.
Dude - Seriously I wish for you all the success and happiness you so deserve! This is by far the best DIY van/camper/stealth video series I have ever seen! Even your Amazon affiliate mention is modest and so professional and you really earn the right too advertise with all of the value you provide! I hope you make a ton of cash. Rock on man & thank you so much!
Totally agree with the others. This has to be one of the nicest van conversions I’ve seen. Soooooo clean an organized!!! Love it. Great job. You should be very proud of yourself!
That’s one of the nicest layouts I’ve seen on line. Fantastic job young man. Be safe and enjoy the adventures. ✌🏻🇺🇸
This van is by far the best conversion i have ever seen for a van bro, this is legit kool!
Your bed design is awesome. I want to do something similar, but got stuck on the mechanics. Thanks for making this available. Also, really like the placement of the electrical system. Excellent use of space. Definitely going to help me with my build.
Wow, this is by far the most thought through, well equipped and prettiest van I've seen. Bravo and well done!
Damn that was the easiest, smoothest bed pull out I’ve ever seen. This is actually really cleverly done
Thanks so much!
Como alguém dá dislike em um vídeo desses? Pqp, parabéns para esse mano aí, equipamento sensacional
The kitchen is off the chain. I'm just getting started with my journey and channel. Thanks for the motivation
I like the way you designed your bed/couch setup I did something similar but used linear bearings. Awesome job!
I was liking it the moment I saw the full-size bike going in at the start. Very sweet and attainable set-up!
This is awesome the way u convert these Van's bro pretty cool. Perfect for someone who just want to travel or live on a buget. Wish I had money to afford one of these. By far my favorite you've done💯💯💯💯
I love the cupboard door that becomes a desk, very imaginative!
By far the best DIY conversion I’ve ever seen!! Bravo!! When ya do sell it, don’t get low-balled, you have an absolutely gem there!!
This is probably the best van i have seen in a while, I'm not going to lie, I like it very much as well, keep it up man!
Shalom!! My husband love ur videos he just brought a beat up van and he so excited to put the work into it I can’t wait to see how this turn out.
5:09 - I see that scale homie, you didn’t have to take it off in the next clip lmaooo
Lol its normally kept in the secret compartment, But he had a while until his 1st one came through so said let me make a vid real quick......
Much needed stash spot as well
I like how in the next clip he gave a little smirk looking over like "they'll never notice"
Obviously, that scale is for precise measurements of seasoning for cooking ;)
Loll
Best van conversion I've seen yet, looks so comfortable and has everything one would need. You're brilliant! ✌💙
DAMN, the hustle with the amazon links. I love it.
I love watching your videos with my kiddo. He loves the idea of living in tiny home and he has been working on specs for making his own when he gets older. He is only 7 now. LOL
Hey bruh, love what you did and still do. I have 17 ' box truck I converted into an stealth RV also a 32' that I am renovating as a addition. You have a lot more patience than I do with the carpentry and all. Im a 6'2 black 34 yr old male from DC southeast and my wife and I live full time in our converted stealth RV. I will publish our videos soon once we finish everything but its good to see another brother beating the system with his wits and uniqueness and being successful at it. I would like to see you do a box truck something with a lot more space. I but mines from FB market place for cheap.
Now I definitely know what to give to my son when he turns 18 years old bye Felicia start your life!!..
Lmfao
I LOVE YOUR VAN! I think out of all the vans I've seen yours is the most Badass van conversion, FYI I'm going to use many of your ideas to do my van! Thanks
This is amazing and motivational to encourage people to live a comfortable lifestyle without all the unnecessary crap people fill a house with, that they never use, because they never home due to working hard to pay for it. This is an alternative to live more freely and enjoying your space which can b anywhere in the world❤️🥰
Yup ones reality can be another’s illusion
Very well done and video was well edited: great flow to all the features and info. All of your build is so efficient and homey! Bravo!
This is by far the most ingenious ideas I've ever seen and is absolutely the best stealth van build bar none. Take a victory lap my friend, you deserve it!
Just started running
Great video. Only 2 things I'd change, and it's just for safety sake. Move the paper towel holder to the left and mount under the over counter cabinet. It's just too vulnerable to flames where it is. Second would be to get an RV type range hood to do a better job of venting smoke and mount it where the paper towel holder is. Cheers, Bugs
YESSS BLACK VANLIFE!!! I see you bro. Going to check out a few of your videos for ideas. Im restoring a VW Vanagon. Right now in the middle of an engine swap.
Nice build. You are the only I've seen use special brackets to pull the bed up and down with such ease. Everyone else sweat bullets to pull out their bed. That idea was the most genius. ,👍
7:01 Opening the door sounds exactly the way you expect it would.
I've watched a ton of these videos. Your build has some very inventive ideas that I haven't seen before. Well done and very creative, good sir!
Built a propane locker and vent it to the outside. Propane is heavier than air and will build up before it reaches your ceiling vent. You can also pick up some lp gas monitor/alarms for cheap. If you get just a small leak while you sleep, you'll never wake up.
Respect brother! I have just bought a bare panel van and going to fit it out to live in. So a ‘brother stealth guy’ just starting out!👍🏻😀 SUPERB BUILD!
Dope build bro! Wish I was this resourceful when I was a single marine...
Out of ALL The Van Conversions Ive seen yours is by far the best and most well thought out and put together. Congrats on a GREAT Project! You should be proud... Thanks for sharing it with us... Peace & Happy, Safe Travels. ~DrJones~ [3/31/19]
Seriously.. Amazing! Thank you for such a detailed video and for all the links. I am in the process of converting a Honda Odyssey so I am very inspired by your designs! I haven't yet checked out all of your videos but I hope to see more on how you hooked up the solar panels. If not I'm sure I can find other videos on it on youtube. I wish you weren't so far... I would probably purchase the white van you just finished. Anyway, Keep up the great work!
"My brother told me that he'd rather fail than wonder what would happen if he never tried" love this have been subscribed to your channel has inspired me to chase the same lifestyle.
Honestly this is the BEST van build video I have ever watched! I am a huge fan of your work! I am going to share the crap out of this because you are a genius!
