Stealth Camping/Wild Camping
Last weekend we went stealth camping ( Camping for free in our transit van ) in Hornsea a lovely coastal resort on the east yorkshire coast. My hubby has made a campervan from a transit van, he's made a 4ft'6 bed and bought two pieces of foam to put down as the mattress, so when we get up we adjust the bed and make it into a sofa very ingenious
He's put a small foldaway table in too, were not going all the way with the sink and gas stove.. But we have a small camping stove we use with pans and a kettle and a wash bowl.. For the toilet side of things we have a chemical toilet, but only do watering 
as we tend to go to the toilets in the pub in town before we bed down for the night. We have some blackout covers for the windows so no-one knows were there 
It is still unfinished and needs a lot more doing on it to get it right so watch this space
We break up tomorrow for our holidays and were going again in the evening just for the weekend as there's a Bike festival on Sunday so we will be doing it all again...
Have you ever heard of Stealth Camping or Wild Camping?

Yes we used to do it in our motor home Suzuki Sue but only in secluded areas and not in view of houses. Believe it or not they encourage it in the western Isles. Happy camping.I assume that you use your camping stove outside and not inside the van?

Yes we have done it many times. Lovely holidays in caravans, tents and campervans just going onto camp sites to get water every few days.We have also made our own campervans a few times which makes me wonder about your insurance on your van as most companies refuse to pay out if you have an accident if you haven't changed the vans designation to campervan officially. It's really quite hard to do as they require it to be made to a certain standard and it must have sink cooker fridge etc. and look like a campervan not just a van.
