I told you the stealth camping wasn't over. Back with another dodgy one but this time getting kicked out of IKEA when trying to stealth camp.

I’m sure it’s illegal to be making noise like that so early in the morning 😂! Not my best sleep and a failed stealth camp but we move on 🤟🏼
will can u post more often of just little camps in little places bruvva enjoy em alot bro
Loved the video...keep it up!
Love the minimalist van set up you e got going on.
How was the IKEA bed?
Will you were lit up like Blackpool illuminations lol 😂 not exactly stealth! I’d kill anyone making that noise at 7.30 - had me laughing thinking of the chainsaw massacre 🙈🙈🙈
Any time I’ve ever been in IKEA I wished someone would kick me out.
😂
I can’t wait until you get some blackout blinds, it’s unsettling that people can see directly inside your van because the light is so bright.
I'll pick some up soon
@@WillsWhereabouts Maybe get some ikea roller blackout blinds and curtains for the area behind the seats. That way you double up and ensure you are completely blacked out. Then double up on the windows too! The striped curtains would make a nosey officer knock on your van and have nosey neighbours reporting your van during the next lockdown. And yes it is coming!
Will, you need a hi viz jacket and hard hat on show in the cab so you look like a builders van. Nobody would question it being parked on the road then.
Works for me for work. No one questions it almost ever
Thanks for us showing a real life as opposed to just showing when everything is working as it should. Life is not perfect but we adapt. Cheers from Texas!
Yes I agree..at least he's having a go.. he's happy..and learning on the job..we all need freedom these days..to do our own thing..
So easy to sit on your phat arses and criticize..he might not want to go to boring country..he probly got family in the area
You coulda just stealth camped “INSIDE” IKEA mate. Plenty beds to choose from 😅
Been done before 😁
i think i would buy black out curtains before i did anymore stealth camping will.
100%
It's the first thing he should have bought. Trying to be stealthy without them is just plain ridiculous.
A word of advice, is you're gonna go stealth camping, maybe be stealthy? 😂😂❤❤
He was lit up like a christmas tree
@@Elkott Advertising for the Blackpool Tower ... 😂
@@Elkott Always was in the Galaxy. No blinds LMAO. Might as well sit on the roof..
That’s not my style 😂😂
@@WillsWhereabouts Italy won
1. Learn the height (and width) of van to avoid an "11 foot 8" incident. (Watch the vids on utube)
2. Get TWO good locks on steering wheel. I had my Tranny stolen, now I have a large crossbar lock across steering wheel, PLUS a thick bike chain wrapped around seat bolts and through steering wheel. A lot of bother? No, each one takes just ten seconds to fix in place - much less bother than if van is stolen, believe me.
3. I usually park in residential streets - so long as you don't block driveways, adhere to any parking restrictions, and generally don't disturb, then all should be ok. And don't forget to lock yourself in before you turn in for the night. Great video 😄
Just do the military method and bolt a chain to the floor. Then a wrap and a padlock and you are not going anywhere.
When I saw the young lady at the McDonald's drop the tea, I thought "Will's not the only one having a rough morning!" Sometimes you just have to stop trying and let the day go by and laugh it off. Love your videos!👍👍
haha you do indeed
I loved this video. Keeping it real with the park ups. Good to see you get kicked out then find somewhere else to sleep. And great to see that you can go on trips when you’re building your van. Oh how I wish. Looking forward to the next one.
You know your van is really taking shape. Hope you solve the leak. I think IKEA would’ve kicked you out even if it was the voyager. Your van has so much more potential and is already more comfortable with space and the ability to stand up. Can’t wait to see it finished
If you made your bed vertical, you can have a bathroom + toilet in the back area. The bed you can put it on the right side of the van facing the kitchen, and make the bed can be flip to the wall.
Lol, I couldn't deal with the stress of city camping. I drive as far away from people as possible. Wouldn't sleep a wink at some of your parkups.
Haha once the van is more complete I plan to chase the sunsets and sunrises. Let’s hope that means I’ll be able to get a solid few hours of sleep!
oh come on now !! you're not a PEOPLE PERSON ?? Gee..why ? " LOL " couldnt agree more
Youve got a Van with a mattress in the back ...... you can call it 'camping' but it looks like DOGGING mate LOL
Woof!!
Brilliant
Mark Layton, yes, agree. And I’m sure I heard that jimmy saville had the same type of camping ‘set up’
🐶 🐶 🐶 😂
HAHA always
Will I can't stress this enough. GET OUT OF LONDON FOR YOUR NEXT TRIP, less people and noise and better sights and locations. Either South to Cornwall or North to anywhere remote. Good luck mate can't wait to see
Thats the plan
Nah it's all about the urban stealth camping, more of a challenge!
Go directly into the heart of the city where more activity.
Do yourself a very basic kitchen before you go away on a longer trip, it'll make cooking & cleaning up easier & you can always change it once you decide to finish the build
Loving the new van life vids and the build. Keep it up man. Can’t wait to see where u go next.
I completely understand your excitement at having a bin. I was camping 5 years without one and when I finally gone one it was and still is the best thing ever
Awesome video Will, getting caught is part of the excitement, as you know even the most experienced van dwellers/stealth campers get caught.
It made a change
“If I get any guests I need it too look a little bit more romantic” What happened to the GF will, it seemed like you was both very happy before she went away on her work trip 🤦🏽♂️
I love watching, you are always entertaining!
I looked up the rules for quiet hours and it seems it's 11pm to 7am at least in my area as noise is a local council issue. My neighbor sparked up a concrete saw cutting slabs in his drive way at 7.15am one morning a few weeks back. This is why I wish I lived in a van. Don't like the folks next door no problem. Just fire up and go somewhere else. It's not so easy when you've got a mortgage and everything tied up in bricks and mortar.
With regards to the height of your van, i put a sticker on the dash to remind me of mine , done that after i nearly took my roof off 😬😂
It's a good idea if you're frequently changing vans but I know my new van is 1.9m tall and my work van is 8'6. Other work van is 9ft. Bridges and barriers are signed in both metric and imperial so I can mix and match to my hearts content!
It's not hard to remember really, especially when the consequences are so high ;)
Awesome video will! Great to meet you good luck with the build!
Life is an adventure....and you're having one!!! Keep it up and keep smiling!
Great new set up mate, love the adventures 👌
Loved the video. Just happy to see you getting out and about. 🙂
Love your vids. Honest and funny. Shows the real side, not just the glamorous.
You got sponsor now? Awesome bro. Keep doing adventures. Love from नेपाल
Brilliant video Will,the van is almost done,the setup is there,have fun as it is.nice content.
It is interesting to see what boondocking in the UK/Europe is like, compared to here in the states. but with that in mind, it is getting harder in some areas, mostly the eastern part. I'm looking forward to seeing where you are off to next!
Be safe mate, great videos
Always good to see the pitfalls, it's part of the journey and makes it more satisfying when you reach your goal :)
Awesome, love seeing your videos Will. 2 suggestions though - get a Bluetooth speaker and a white noise app. Will make a huge difference sleeping. Second, just get a big sunscreen for your front van window off of Amazon. We have one in our large SUV and it blocked out everything for like $20 US. Keep the van build going
Thank you so much for your videos! You really help cheer me up! Your the best!!!😃👍
Been waiting all week for this installment. 🤣🤣
Hope you enjoyed it!
Greetings! A new subscriber here from San Antonio Texas, USA. Enjoyed your video.
It can't go always the way you want so I loved to see how you solved it because you will probably experience this more often and once has to be the 1st time, practice makes perfect right 😄 greets from a fan from Holland
Your videos are so fun you're a legend all best to you! 😊👍
Great video, well enjoyed it, looking forward to the next one buddy 👍🏻😊
Great video, nice to see you staying in some places I recognise!
Keep up the great work from down Under
nicely done mate!
love your videos.thankyou.
that bloke was running a neighbour annoyer 2000, my neighbour has one just like it ! lol ;)
haha unreal
Good to see you out stealth camping again. These are the best videos.
Another great adventure!
U R The Man ,keep yhe show DUDE.
was waiting for your video !
More to come!
Put the sticky out bit of the steering wheel lock between the A pillar and windscreen, that's where most of them are supposed to go. That'll really stop them from driving
Back in the day baddies would cut a section out of the steering wheel as they cut easy to get strong arm off
When I lived in my van I almost always parked in residential spots. I work early mornings, so was generally gone before anyone got the lawn mower out 😁.
Late evenings were noisy sometimes, with the worst being the world’s most awful dj playing the same 4 tunes all night at a school (?) disco😵💫😬.
Aaahh…. good times 🥳🤪
oh god sounds like a nightmare
1:16-1:22 is me all the time haha. Can't wait to see more adventures Will. Great content as usual 👍
Just come back from doing the NC500 round Scotland. Plenty of campers in there vans round there as well as your alound to wild camp up there. You would love it pal.
Totally agree with camping in it while building it. Less time between the decision and actual use, and still reasonable opportunity to go back and redo something. Changing anything once the build is done is gonna be hard, and you’ll be stuck with some unforeseen backward daily routine because of some decision made long ago.
I feel like I have been on a long journey to find your channel, lol! I have only found you today because of Roaming Radfords. But now, looking back, I think I have heard others talk about you and I now know that I definitely heard you mentioned in Camper Vibe YT lives in the past. Apologies it's taken so long for me to get here, but here now I am 😆 Great vlog. Love the honesty.
Come up to the Yorkshire Dales 💖 it will astound you how beautiful it is x
The cheese is always stuck to the wrapper 🤣 thank you for making me laugh, made me feel better about my first-time camping, I created a monsoon while smacking a massive water bubble in the awing, tidal wave over everyone drying towels
😁
Dude, definitely head down here to the Isle of Wight, there a few places to park up and camp that are stunning!
As payback to ikea I think your next visit to the store should include an act of intimacy in one of their beds 😂
Nice to see you about Will. Take your time take i easy.
Great effort will 👏🏻👌🏻🚐
Thanks 👍
I would recommend buying a C02 detector with that stove stored for the gas canister. I’m glad you're enjoying the van. I laughed at your summer (rain) comments. It's looks like your neighborhood spot is a good one. Your LED lights look great!
You're living the dream Will! Your own bed, table, chsir and own food. What more could you ask for 😀👍🏽
Hello , I’m a new subscriber . Love your videos I’ve seen thus far. Keep the awesomeness coming 🙏🏽
Eee love these videos.... Make me chuckle! So much seems to wrong around you.... I mean I know van life will have its issues but still
Keep on trying Will… no one get’s anywhere in life if they let the first hurdle scare them off.
You should drive up to Staffordshire and i’ll help you plan your van build 💪🏽
That’s a simple setup right there💯
Go have some fun Will, life's to short, still be here for the van build mate, enjoy your travels, stay stealthy 😂👍
Loving these videos will keep up the good work on the van build you should name your van Mary as the number plate :)
Scotland and Wales is so beautiful. Devon is too. 👍 the van is awsome 👍
Nice job Will, vanlife has it's up and downs. Im about to downgrade to a smaller can, the Ducato. So it nice to see where you managing to park it. 👍🏼
Love the videos Will 📹😄
You've got a brilliant sense of humour 👏👍
I would recommend getting some earbuds so you can sleep thru that chainsaw noise 😆
I immediately caught the Darkness Love is only a Feeling.. Good song !
Please leave the van at that state. It gives you something different from other vloggers. I mean just a few more stuffs but the semi-finished look is so awesome.
Use black bin liners cut them open to make a sheet then use small magnets to fix them against the inner frame of door. Use good ones and stretch them tight Total black out 👍👍
Hi Will, I’m not sure which video I’m watching but you asked why people watch- I am an avid camper but have only recently started going more often as my children are now 4 and 6 and both will
Be going to school soon- I recently converted my citreon grand C4 picasso as a solo camper and it turned out pretty good, but although I used IKEA shelves on the flat as a bed frame as width and height were good i think it’s still to heavy- thinking about a pine child bed frame from IKEA as I’m under 5ft, I like watching as I’m getting the bug and may end up
Converting a van- I have an ALLPOWERS battery, a water pump and tankless water heater and basically everything you could want in a van without the van. You’ve plain things really well and if there tricky parts it’s good to watch, I also
Like getting ideas of places to park up - even the little tip on trying to park somewhere as flat as possible. There are some places up in Scotland I’m looking forward to trying- I also hot tent camp- wood burning stove inside tent but as a solo female camper I don’t sleep well as I don’t always feel safe- unless I’ve time to be in an area to see how busy it is and kind of people that go.
Hello Will. Watching you pour the water out from your pasta reminded me of my husband. He did the same and poured the lot into the sink. 🤣🤣
I have slept in the layby, by the recreation ground, that you first stopped at. I used to work nightshifts in London stopped there for 'fourtywinks' on the way home one morning, woke up at 2pm in the afternoon!
Isle of Wight is good mate get on the military road couple of car parks you can stay in along the stretch down towards the needles. Great views to.
Also most of the council car parks are £1 for overnight parking.
Would love to get there at some point once the van is further down the line
Love ❤️ the set up
Get your leak sorted out, then rip that reflectics off, start over with Amarflex and start enjoying a quit night's rest.
Makes all the differences lad, and don't stick Alubutyl inbetween, thats just dead weight.
Love your vid, have fun building and stay safe
Northumberland Will, you’ll love it 👍
Hey Will, Great video it is a real shame you got asked to leave, we all want for you to get outside of London, maybe Lake District as an idea then Scotland perhaps? 🤔
I look forward to your next video! 😊👍
For panoramic views you need to travel up north..Lancashire, Yorkshire, Lake District and definitely Scotland doing the NC500….you will lose your heart to Scotland x
One great place to stealth camp is in a motel parking lot, one of those big fancy places with a big parking lot. There is a lot of room, and no one pays much attention to a vehicle parked a little ways away from the rest of them (but, not too far).
I’ve just done a road trip round Scotland in my van, you NEED to do it! Isle of Skye is amazing
... when is midge season ???
@@Jester-Riddle right now… it’s not to bad most of the time as it’s windy
I would love to head there for sure
@@Jester-Riddle anytime from May to October......
That jam out sesh at the beginning 👌
Still a cool video! Good luck with the next 👍
That leak would be driving me nuts. There are free truck stops (app) up and down the country too.
Good video, big thumbs up from deepest Dorset 👍 I would have thought there is far less chance of getting bounced pulled up in an urban street than in a private car park 😂 In my neck of the woods we often have the odd van stay overnight and it wasn’t till I started watching your channel I started to take a second look😂😂. So I doubt very much my other 20-30 neighbours would think twice! And as long as you choose that “house for sale plot” or high hedge blocking you from the house I recon you will be golden👍. ATB mate, regards from deepest Dorset.
When I went mc Donald's with my old high school we managed to fit a ford transit minibus through the drive through.
drive throughs allow all work vams for obvious reasons
Just catching up on your wonderfully entertaining videos. I'm from the states (Pittsburgh, PA) and that steering wheel lock is called a club. You need to put it on so that the long end is up against the window so that it won't move. Just a little hint. One that I didn't get right away either. Thanks for all the great videos. Keep up all the work. 🇺🇲
Oh man, discovering the full delights of Purley Way!
...was lively in August 2011
Happy SunDays with Wills !! Love the Car karaoke need more it pls !!
Haha plenty more to come
Love your stuff Will the van is coming on a treat 👍 you're gonna regret putting that bed in already tho m8, now you've got to work around it and there's still a lot of work to do 😬 you'll figure it out, it's all part of the fun 👍 also that vent is not happy dude I'd get it out and have a look or you'll end up burning the motor out....
Fantastic and so realistic and you made me laugh 😂!!!
I thought I was subscribed I didn't realize it wasn't until you popped up in my feed. You can make that pillowcase/ curtain a lot more like a blackout if you slip a piece of cardboard or reflective insulation inside of it. I think a lot of Van dwellers and stealth campers are early birds which is one reason I'm not a very good stealth camper I don't go to sleep until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning. That first bar that you went under was a height bar if you touched it then you wouldn't fit under the roof but it is always a good idea to know exactly how tall you are. If your solar panels are your highest part you can lay a board across them and measure from the board to the ground. If your roof vent is the highest point you can do basically the same thing but you need to be able to prop the stick up level. Of course you can also measure how tall you are at the solar panels and add an extra inch or two for the vent and then add an inch or two for safety sake or for your own sanity.. lol.. I watched several other UK van channels, they tend to park in what I would call rest areas but I think you call them layups or layouts as well as the usual places we do over here like medical facilities/doctor's offices, barrister / lawyer offices, shopping plazas like the one you ended up eating breakfast in (I smother my sausage egg and cheese and mustard to hide the taste of the egg) museums and places like art galleries. Over here most people don't walk to the bar/pub and if they drink too much they leave their vehicle so that's usually another good spot.. places that use vehicles like yours, plumbers, roofers etc their yard may be locked but you can often park in front of the office
I used to park in a cul-de-sac, there was some street lighting, but it worked well.
I don't understand how you can be so funny without trying to be funny its amazing
