After building out my DIY Uhaul tiny house conversion for over a year and a half, we finally start adventuring. In episode 2 of the stealth camp series, we stay overnight at a high-security park-n-fly facility at IAH.
Is the truck stealthy enough to stay overnight in an airport parking lot? Will I survive with low battery in the humid 90 degree Houston heat?

You should pre-stage ALL the things into the back while you are in the grocery store lot. Then the disappearing act is fast.
Can't believe he just grabbed those eggs without checking to see if any were broken in the store.
Thinking the same thing when I seen it. 🤷♂️ 🫣
What I don’t understand what so wrong for living in a truck, car, or a van it shouldn’t be anyone freaking business. Love your videos bro 🙏
The government can't control you as easily as they would like to when your address is wherever you decide to park for the night.
I'n this case peoples long term parked car, could be broken into, while someone fills up their truck in a supposedly secured area. When you start lying, you are the problem. Especially boasting about how you abuse a business. Karma catches up.
The first thing I was leery of is someone using this stealth idea in plain sight in parking lots for human trafficking. That could be the cause of high security and suspicion. It’s at an all time high awareness with human trafficking right now.
@@Kim-ri1hgThe biggest lie government uses to abuse, control and manipulate citizens.
“ It’s for your safety “
We need to stop falling for this and quit surrendering our freedom because the government decides what’s best for our safety.
@@Kim-ri1hgnah, that's not it. If we (the US) cared so much about human trafficking, Congress would be funding serious anti-trafficking programs through the DHS, punishment for traffickers would be mandatory minimum 25yrs, and the FBI would stay busy investigating those names in Epstein's list, but instead they're funding proxy wars and genocide on the other side of the world to keep Haliburton, Lockheed, and other war profiteers awash in cash that should be improving the lives of Americans and propagating peace instead of conflict, death, resource theft, and destruction.
All this is at the airport and other places so are shook worried about overnight parking is nosy busybodies and further evidence of the US being a nanny/police/surveillance state. Always worried about the wrong sht. Always someone drunk on whatever little thimble of power they've been granted by 'the authorities.'
"Land of the free" my left 🍑 cheek.
😂
I would not take that truck anywhere near a airport.
This is so interesting to watch, all the other stealth van videos are just tours, but you showed the whole experience over night👍
This is a good place to have some power activated tint. You can change it from invisible to completely white or black if you want. So turn it on for a few seconds, go to the back then turn it off and you dissapeared.
I love this idea.
Once again the importance of being fully prepared with everything in the rear before stopping at your Final Park-up is so ably demonstrated.
Realistically the only thing needing to pass through the Bulkhead should be the Driver.
Indeed
DAMN THEY ARE SERIOUS about security. DAMN
Great video, the Park N Fly attendants were trying to 'catch' you left and right.
Seems to me like they were glorified parking attendants that took their job waaaay too seriously.
@@AbeusMaximus That used to be common respect. They also likely know their job so well it's better to stay on top of when the bus will be going around. Knowing your "glorified" job used to be common too. You weren't too good to do what you were paid for.
@@AbeusMaximus Oh this reminds me of a nice story. I was in the grocery store at night about 10yrs ago. I saw the parking lot girl (maybe 18yrs old?) up one aisle before I rounded the corner to the next aisle. I walked farther up to where she would be talking to another employee. They were chatting about working there. Just background noise until she bragged she knew where everything was in the store. And started naming stuff. Made me smile.
On my way out I asked for the manager and told him about her. He smiled so big. I smiled again at him smiling so big.
Everyone was nerding down in the store that night.
That's how people used to be. They used to like knowing their jobs and the stuff around their jobs.
You don't think they're trained to NOT let anyone sleep in their vehicles or build a bomb in the parking lot or something?
Go ahead and take the ride to the terminal. Then, a little while later catch a shuttle back to the lot There's nothing suspicious about coming back and getting into your vehicle. Make it look good with some baggage. They will be too busy with the onslaught of vehicles arriving to take notice. I know a FedEx pilot that wants to do this instead of paying for a crash pad at the hub. Bet he's not the only one.
Yeah, I’m not jealous. The airport with all its noise and commotion is probably the worst camping site that I could imagine. It does however prove that you are indeed a very stealthy, stealth camper. Perhaps the stealthiest.
Too bad about the a/c. It’s gotta require a big battery bank to use that all night long. Maybe you could devise a way to just cool a bed compartment to lighten the load a bit.
All those drag races in Mexico can be obnoxious.
Awesome vids.
Also, is that Mjölnir around your neck? Very cool.
Yup!
A good thing to have would be a EV charger port. Have it hidden under the van a bit, or have it so that the port is connected to a long cable that you can bring out the door. People will probably see you charging and think "That person's such a idiot for making that truck an electric vehicle". There's also some methanol and hydrogen generators for emergencies that are very efficient, but those also cost a few thousand bucks.
What an adventure. I know your next mod. A battery power monitoring system. Great idea with the cameras. Liking the bench. Cool hinges.
👍⚡💪🏆🤙
Yup that's definitely a priority
I’ve been saving for a bus and will make the move in the next couple months, but now, I have a new inspiration. Thank you! Phenomenal job.
Great work. Idea is that the tablet security cameras show everything what about hooking up some loud blaring alarm you could set off by pushing a button if you see someone lurking around the truck? Maybe a perimeter sensor alarm that sets it off
It’s the suspenseful music for me 😅😅😅
Techno now all you need to build is a couch and the dining table that can lower to the couch length and become a bed in case you ever have company stay in your apartment on wheels
This video I'm not gonna lie...had me on edge for you 😂😅 but can we please have a moment to celebrate that incredible sloppy Joe! 🤤🥵
Your music, lol 70's early 80's I LOVE IT, LOL
love the conversion, im looking to save up for a uhaul truck, convert it, and live in it
I snore loudly. Will that be an issue for being detected? 😀
Use your cpap machine it’s all good!
Maybe find some commercial area to park. Why spend money on parking? Very nice build. Make more videos!
He could park that almost anywhere for free. Airport parking is expensive. The point was to prove how stealthy it is by parking in one of the most watched places he could think of.
Love it! Great job. Keep them coming.
Do you have a carbon monoxide detector? I love having one any time I cook with an open flame. Your dinner looked yummy! :)
You are unique! 🤣🤣 You made the Airport park as Camping ground 🤣🤣
Don't worry about what other people think. Keep living in this lovely RV truck of yours. :)
22:10 Bus driver jumps out
"Hey sir! Ready to go to the terminal now?😊"
About expected someone to jump out of his bathroom: "Hey, sir, sir! I take you to terminal now!"
Amazing bench design! 👏
Better than my roll-out concept with cubby. Thanks for sharing. 👍
I dig your videos, ps anywhere with high security(airports,hospitals etc.) is a no no for stealth sleeping, I’m a cannabis user so I have to think that way lol 😂🤘🏾
I would love this hinges! U did an amazing job… next time mark your buttons and tuft them first before u staple down the rest of your fabric around the edges
man, your channel is so awesome.... you are a badass... that's all there is to it.. thanks for the hard work.
just discovered your channel love it! keep up the great work!!
What made you buy that charger/inverter if it doesn't control and show the state of charge of the battery?
I put a 500LPM inline fan in the floor of my truck and open the skylight window for excellent ventilation.
If you have a bms with the proper connections it can monitor SOC, my BMS doesnt have the connector
loving all your videos
Props on your Sloppy Joe skills
I just found your channel - here for the box truck build - but heard you say you camped on the Guadalupe, and now you're at IAH, so you must live in TX. BTW, American has like maybe two flights out of IAH a day so that was a huge red flag, LOL. Next time, say United.
love that you mounted the pi* on the back of the tablet. we are similarly minded people XD
three problems;
1) A uhaul looks like a cheap truck that people live in.
2) a commercial box truck looks more at home in a commercial environment
3) any secure area will monitor all vehicles
Love the background danger music.
dang that is a well sercure lot I say for the difficult 9 rofl
Very talented smart, I wish I had the skills to build like you, because I may not do it professionally but I would build one for myself. If other people wanted one I would. Love your channel.❤👌😘💯
couldnt wait to see couch
Park-N-Fly Pancakes for breakfast. lol
Omg you are a beast! At this boxer life
That’s normal really. They usually always follow and have someone pick you up. Which is normally considered a great thing if you’re at an airport and in a hurry to get shuttled there.
That was tense, man! I thought you were gonna get arrested or something! Love the video!
What's the music you're playing??.... awesome video bro
Tôi rất thích ý tưởng của bạn,xây dựng một ngôi nhà di động tuyệt vời.Hãy đi bất cứ nơi nào đó
The intense music. 😂😅
Niccccccccce wish I could do this man so much freedom
.for my kids and I
01:31 hey at least you acknowledged it! but for reals being in tx and not using the howard edward butt or a buccee's is like... living outside of the state man! ha ha great stuff!
LOL, like what's a "Kroger"?
which camera system are you using AND how many cameras can you monitor?
Like your stuff
Did you ever hook up the shower drains?
You're not worried about cooking smells there? That's a dead giveaway!
You really did "tech out" with the raspberry pi. I would have just hung a cheap wifi AP off the DVR and logged into the DVR browser for camera viewing/functions. If you want to be alerted when someone is standing next to either door maybe think of motion sensors mounted in moms attic facing straight down with remote chime that can wake you up.
There's a lot more to the raspberry pi that will be revealed as time goes on... camera viewing is just one of it's functions. The DVR I have does include motion alerting which I'll eventually get set up.
Awesome man. I can see 2 problems you will potentially run into. (I installed cams for an IT co.) 1: motion sense is going to suck because headlights and distant objects will trigger it. 2. The cab camera will be unusable at night using the internal illumination IR's which will just flood the interior. Solution is turn those off and place external IR's around the exterior. (Moms attic,front bumper etc) should be fun experimenting
How can you even relax with so much security on the property. Its like being back in the 1980's and going underground mental to beat the system. Like now your living like an escaped convict or a bad ass that is beating the system except its only a matter of time you are caught maybe not tonight or tomorrow, but eventually. ON TOP of the dact the lot has cameras all over the place AND if they REALLY get suspicious of anything they can call in a frequency find and find your exact location. OMG. Maybe you're not breaking the law, but you will never be allowed back. In these days of surveillance at every corner THERE IS no such thing as steath unless you are on acres and acres on your own land.
Do you have close to enough solar to recharge 13.5kW? Or rely mostly on shore power to do it? This is hands down my favorite stealth build truck ever. Looking forward to more stealth camps!
Thanks! I have 1.5Kw of solar. It keeps me pretty topped off.
Did you say you were about to watch Ice Cream Man? With Clint Howard?
Oh my! That was exciting! HAHA
WTF? I've never had that experience at an airport parking lot. I've been very lucky when I stealth camp by parking in lots that are 24/7 and are in safe, wealthier areas. No one gives me a second look. By stealth camping, I can see more and spend less. I only stay at a hotel every other night, sometimes less.
They take security measures very serious at IAH. Every since 9/11, anything associated with the airport is for the most part heavily secured.
He would have done better parking at one of the cell tower parking (I think that's what it's called) it's where you wait for the person to call you once they arrive for pickup. Probably less noticeable too because cars are in and out.
@@JNante Telling them he was flying American was a huge giveaway, since there are very few American flights out of IAH, and probably none that late.
Those sloppy Joe sandwiches looked amazing.

How stealthy are the smells from your kitchen?
Lol!
Wow now you know what it feels like for some people shopping in a store.
Their eyes are all over you.
I want to know how much you charge for your assistance and the building of the truck.
So raspberry pie so you know about frequencies then just be careful because the government can override ANY security system you think you might have. You know this police state we live in nowadays so live like a cool drifter beating the system but aware, lol
Should also include build videos for things such as the raspberry pi/code & code hosting. also you're in the same woods as this dude

They’re in your business because it’s suspicious of you to be driving an unmarked truck. The OKC bombing happened when someone parked a Ryder moving truck like that one in front of the Alfred P Murrah building. Probably work better to park in a business garage.
So how much was parking at the airport?
I can say that I paid $45 for 2 nights in a subcompact space around the time this was posted. I'd guess upwards of $50 for the one night. (The same as a night at a Crack motel lol)
@@ClearwaterKB Yeah pretty high. If getting to the airport from out of town I like to stay in a fairly decent motel that has free parking and shuttle for guests. Cheaper that way if on a 7-day vacation.
How do u run the ac?
Massive battery bank that I made myself. 13kWh
I fail to understand why you choose to opt for airport parking vs. a commercial or industrial area?
It's for the video. More exciting content when there is risk involved.
Was that bacon between those pieces of Texas toast???
We used to use big magnets on the door to advertise our businesses
And on the weekend you could take them off
I think you should make a few of them and even put your phone number on them
I was thinking something catchy like
Vinny's roadside repair
24-hour services
Maybe they just call you rather than back up the tow truck
I wish he would just button up his shirt. Love the videos though.
Hello fellow Barbarians
Mission impossible.
Those pancakes look good.
You should try a car dealership.
People outside don’t smell your food ? 😂
HEB is in Texas? Cheddar cheese? Did you know it's 33% fat?
HEB is somewhere OTHER than Texas? -_^
@@SynerG4ce I had to search up the name, I'd never heard of it before. I was wondering if it was a Kosher type store, LOL.
Your poor sleep was due to the fact you made Sloppy Joe's on sliced bread instead of hamburger buns.
how did you get a fake airplane ticket?
He reserved a parking spot, only, I believe.
My comment got deleted 😂😂😂
Those youtube overlords
Hopefully the airport will see this video and use it to train the parking lot personnel to ask people entering for their flight number and departure time. Busted.
Ok i get stealth. But why the terrible horror music. Ugh, i had to fast forward. But other than that, the video was good.
You're giving a bad name to your fellow box campers.
I'n this case peoples long term parked car, could be broken into, while someone fills up their truck in a supposedly secured area. When you start lying, you are the problem. Especially boasting about how you abuse a business. Karma catches up.
