Let me know what you guys thought of this stealth camp as filmed it in a different way than usual! 🤟🏼
Really good video will have to try the heck chicken.
Great video and park up. I actually disabled remote door lock unlock in ecu so no one can record the signal and rob my camper while i am shopping.
Enjoyed the POV aspect of this video. Was a nice addition.
I KNEW you were a Surrey lad! We know our own 👍 😉
Try East Anglia - Ipswich, Woodbridge, or Felixstowe area for a stealth camp sometime. Bonus points if you do it at the old air base that used to be there (rumor has it a UFO landed there in the early 80's)
Turn the ignition on so all the dashboard lights up but don’t actually start the van, make sure all the doors are shut, press the lock and unlock button a few times and the key might re-sync itself. Happens in my Citroen and works every time so hopefully it works for you 👍🏻
The problem is perhaps he has the spare key ( non remote ) on the same key chain ( looked like in the video ) , because they use a *transponder/proximity* immobilser setup , it might be trying to read both keys and doesnt know what to do therefore dropping one out of sync ?.
You've inspired me and the Mrs to buy a t4 and start camping mate, I know things sometimes seem a bit shit but just think of how many people you help get through crap times just watching you... or how many people you have inspired... love the channel, you are awesome... keep doing it aslong as you can as 200 thousand people clearly love you 🙂
Thank you so much Matt, happy camping to you and the Mrs! 💪💪👍
Well said, can’t wait for the school holidays to be over so me and my wife can hit the road.
I agree he always picks me up watching his videos and think hes a 🌟
Stealth camping! I had a feeling the other day that I recognised you from somewhere and couldn't place it. I've since remembered. During the start of the pandemic I was working in a care home. Experienced some of the lowest mental health states I'd been in for a long time. Reminding residents with dementia, why their families couldn't visit over and over (they knew their families weren't visiting as frequently, but would often forget about the virus and lockdown.) was brutal and hit hard. It was around that time I got into stealth camping videos. You were one of the first people I started watching. It gave me a brief, vicarious sense of freedom, it helped me escape. It had a direct impact on the state of mind I was in at the time, for the better. Might seem silly, but I owe you a big thank you dude! ✌️🙏
Im the same will . youre honesty got me through a bad time with mental health. Thanks
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for the wonderful comment, I am so happy to hear that my antics helped you when you needed it, stay strong 💪 ✊🙏
Thanks Will. Stay positive get a kindle. Reading stops you thinking too much
@@WillsWhereabouts 🙏 I got a bit hooked on the van lifestyle videos back then. Taking home all that emotion from work, plus the pandemic, plus not seeing family, plus not being able to play music live or rehearse anymore plus plus.. 😂😂😂. Just was way, way overwhelmed at the time. You and the other van lifers provided a very welcome/needed escape. 👌✌️
I'm amazed nobody notices how miraculously his van moves into a different parking bay during the night 😃
Seems like this is what you needed and enjoy the most. Glad to see you feeling good and living life the way you choose.
Thanks Jesse 👍
Congrats on 200k Will!
Well deserved 😁🚐🎉
You’ve come along way ! So proud of you Will !! 🤙🏾
🙏🙏
Thank you 🙏
It must be incredibly vexing that, after all of the careful thought and hard work you put into that van and how great it looks, the key fob refuses to cooperate with you. Keep on keeping on, Will!
Also, maybe a trip to Ireland in the van would be a good idea.
Good to see you back at the old stealth. Seems to be what makes you happiest. Love your content, no matter what you provide
Thank you for watching and the nice comment 💜🤘
Hi Will, it’s so great to see you a bit happier this week, it’s always nice to have a bit of company around you, I really enjoyed your video Will, your an awesome guy, very clean and tidy. Another stealth camp next time, I hope that your stomach is better all the best to you and Mary. Xx🚐🤟🏼✌️💕
Nice to see you doing your stealth camps again Will ive really missed them. Really hoping you will be doing more of these over night stealth camps over the coming months maybe squeeze in a few Supermarket stealths camps aswell. I love watching them in the morning just helps to make the day feel a little brighter. Great vid thank you Will :)
Love to see a stealth video from you. Been watching since the early days and have really enjoyed seeing the progress from car to van. You're doing an awesome job, inspiring!
Thanks 🙏
Stopped here in the truck for the night thanks to you Will, cheers. A grand spot
It’s a joy to see how far you’ve come since I first began watching in your car days Will.
Remember to give yourself the opportunity to acknowledge your accomplishments.
I must admit to laughing my little socks off when you almost had toilet trouble 😂
Do more Wales 🏴 xx
@@AdamGoldswain thank you, Adam! Compliment accepted and appreciated 🤗
I got to say Willie Boy, you are one of the only vanlifers that actually keep a tidy and clean van. Props to you! Keeping things neat, tidy, and organized actually makes living in such a small place enjoyable and stress free. Some of these vanlifers might as well sleep and eat in a trash dumpster with the way they keep their van. No wonder they have trouble with mice and insects. I like the way you take pride in keeping up standards. Sending greetings from New Kent, Virginia, USA, and stay safe on your travels.
Hi Will, I have just watched the Urban Vanlife channel. It was good to see you there and your brother. That is the happiest I have seen you! You are building up the vanlife community that you are looking for. Well done and keep pushing forward.
Thanks Diane, it was good to spend time with good people 👍
I've been waiting for this episode, more about stealth camping please :)
✊👍
Nice to see Will doing what Will does best. Keep em coming buddy
Thank you 🙏
Mary is looking brilliant and the video was great. Like many others have said it’s so good to see you sounding happier. Safe travels.
Thank you 😊
You looks so much happier and content in this video Will!
Thanks JR 😊
Nice to see you back out stealth camping Will...there's a few foreign lorries near where I work and I was watching them make a fry up the other day. All their cooking stuff is in compartments at the side of the trucks. When I was doing 3 nights out a week I used to take my folding bike as it was easier to just 'nip' into town for stuff.
Thanks John, mmm a fry up you are making me hungry 😋
great to see you back doing what you do best!
Thanks Paul 👍👍
This reminded me of the stealth ford galaxy days and similar cooking. The advantage being able to stand up and deal instantly with being taken short.
Much easier to be able to stand whilst cooking 🧑🍳
They're pretty limited in Europe for sleeper size. But here in the USA we have tractor trailers with sleeper sizes all the way from a coffinbox size of 36" all the way to 210" and even bigger. I drove Tractor trailers from 1988 to 2009 when I was forced to retire. And I had sleepers from 48" all the way to 190" and the 190" had everything a house had including a toilet and shower. The only reason I had to go to a truck stop was for fuel. I had everything else I needed with me. Love the vlogs and your van is looking spot on!!
Stealth camping is my favorite series of the videos. You filmed so good.
Thank you 🙏
So happy seeing you enjoy again. Love from Australia.
Thanks Robert ✊🤘
Now this is the wills whereabouts I've been missing! great video! back to the good ole park up and cook
The removals truck has a sleeping compartment above the cab for the loading crew. It's not just the driver that sleeps in the truck.
Most trucks just have a single bed immediately behind the seats, plus possibly a fold-up one above.
Good style vids on the right road. More stealthy & daring the better. More confrontations with the Jobsworths & nimbies please !
Try a new battery in the key fob. Go to a timson shoe repair place at most supermarkets and they would test it and fit a new one if required. A lot cheaper than a new key !. Keep up the vids mate, all the best.
Thank you 🙏
And he's back! You seem a lot happier which is great to see, keep smashing it mate
Thanks 🙏
So love your set up , it’s fantastic .
Thanks Sarah 😃
Another great vid Will. Stay strong my man
Thank you 🙏
This is more like it. Took me back to the galaxy days. Great job Will.
Thanks Nick 🙂
You sound a lot more with your spirit up , I love it.
Thanks Carlos ✊
Enjoyed this, glad you appear to be on a more positive vibe! the van looks amazing btw, really great job - hope you can enjoy it!
Thanks 😊
So happy the algorithm retuned you to my feed. The last video I’d seen was when you were installing the wood ceiling.
Glad you seem happier. Living in a van isn't the end game in my view. It just provides cheap accommodation to allow you to do what you want to do. It's like renovating a flat, and then just sitting in it all day. Just being in a van, for the sake of it isn't living. I'm sure you find your purpose again, the van will become more of a joy, enabling you to pick the parts of van life you like, and the parts of 'real life' you like, and mix the two. That's what I found anyways. Nice vid.
Always enjoy your honesty, great vlog. Hope you're feeling better soon!
Thanks 🙏
Nice to see a bit of the old Will back. Van looking great too 😊
Thanks Ann 🙏
Will your a champ ! Loved this video and the van is ace you should be very proud of your achievements.👍🏻🇬🇧😎
Thank you 😊
First there was spring watch, then summer watch, then we thought Autumn watch was the end ... but no ! We now have Lorry watch !!
😂🤣
Good to see you on form Will 👍🏻
Lorry watch 😂😂😂
Such a British video! Absolute content as always Will. Inspiring for others to convert a van and do what you do. Keep up the amazing content man!
Good to see you back on the horse bro….stay positive keep your heart up!
Thanks Shane 🙂
I’m a trucker will and yes we have a nice comfy memory foam mattress/bed fridge and usually a microwave mine had a TV also 😉
Thanks bud I’m glad you’re a happier than you have been.
Watching these when I park up for the night keeps me entertained.
Congrats on the 200k well deserved 🍻
Thank you for watching and commenting, nice to have a bit of insight into the inside of trucks ✊✊
Brilliant Will! Keep going!
Thank you Allan 😊
Glad to see you’re happier in this video then you were in the last one I saw❤️🔥
Thanks Paul 🙏
love this stealth camping content back !
Thanks 😊
Loved it! entertaining and genuine! Lots of love from Canada! Happy Days!
Thank you 🙏
Glad to see your feeling much better x
Thanks Christine 🙏
Truck driver of 20 years and never knew of this spot so thank you for the info. Always handy to know. Council car parks are great as are council leisure centre car parks,can usually park on them. Stratford on Avon being one of them
Hey Will been watching you sine your car camping days, love your van, glad your a bit happier, but it must be a shock to your system now, van life, love the videos 😁
Thanks for being with me for so long Jeanette 🤩✨
Brilliant Will we have always enjoyed your ‘Stealth Camping’ from the Granada days, your back to basics and you look happier. Steve & Anne IOW 😎
Thanks guys appreciate it 🙏
Great vid, good to see you happier mate.
Thank you 🙏
Great video Will, great content as always, stay happy mate👍🏻
Thanks Paul 👍
I like the video and the way it was done. Your videos are great, because you show the reality, not as some do make it look so easy. Your stealth camping videos are my favorites, along with the ones you did when you were building Mary..
Thanks Jim, appreciate it 👍👍
Back to what you do best, love the stealth camps
Thank you 🙏
oh yeah! the stealth camps are back. cracking vibe on this. Reminded me of the car camps in the early days in the Galaxy. It was really good to see yourself "on the up" and enjoying the moment. I dont mind saying that I did do a little cheer. Deffo do some more. BTW licky escape from the parking ticket bandits in the white van. Stay safe and funky, best regs, Kenny
Appreciate the comment Kenny 👍👍👍
Brilliant back to stealth camping will 👍👍👍👍
👍👍
You cook the same as many others do. Almost everything in one pot. As an ex truck driver in the USA, sometime the best entertainment is watching trucks trying to get backed into a spot. You will be doing great when you find that only flat and level Roller coaster of life. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
Thanks Moses ✊👍
Hi Will..... good to have you back on the up... like your videos bud. Have a great week 👍👍👍
Thanks Stephen ✊🤘
It looks like an easy spot to park in. Good that you rest well. Dinner looked yummy 😋 and what a great kitchen area you’ve created. This video was great, and you seem more comfortable. That’s a good book.
Thank you 🙏
Loved the video mate! You seem to be in good spirits being back home! Do more of these! Take small trips as well your story is yours to write buddy!
i love the cooking parts of the video .
Thanks I like the eating parts 😀
@@WillsWhereabouts i eat fajitas as much as you now i love them but i put well too much cheese in (if thats possible) 🤣
Love these stealth camping videos
Awesome thanks 😊
Glad you seem happier Will, love all your vids and your positivity. Even when you're down, the way you problem solve is incredibly inspiring.
Also, that fart made me laugh like a child! Thank you!! 😁😁
Thank you 😊
Will get a nice girl,then you will have contentment x
Another cool video mate, keep up the good work
Nice to see the stealth camps really enjoyed this one and seeing the lorrys
Thanks Chris 👍
Stealth camps are the best to watch & you seem a lot happier Will 👍🏻
Thanks Steve 👍👍
A.W Jenkinson, Forest products they take waste card etc to recycle depos...and also bark etc to the Westward compost/bark factory. Incase anyone was wondering
You have a great van. Great channel..
Enjoyed the video good to see you happier.
Thanks Ian 👍🙏

Will my man.. your killing it geez.. keep doing what your doing bro.. respect.. 👊🏻👍🏻❤️
Love the video bud.... glad you seem more settled 👍
Thanks 🙏
Yyyeesss the stealth camps! Love it mate.
Thanks 🙏
Comment on a forum said taking off the earth connection from the battery and then reconnecting it again solved the key issue, same van as yours,worth a try. Good to see you on the up mate.
Thanks for this, appreciated 👍👍
Congrats on 200K subscriptions. Keep going!
Thank you 🙏
Hi Will. I had my key fob pack up two weeks ago on my Ducato although the transponder worked ( flashing yellow on the indicators. Turned out to be a blown 20amp fuse for the central locking - who knew. Popped a new one in and bingo.
Great relaxing video! So jealous of Mary. Have a great week. 😊
Thanks 🙏
This is the tonic you needed, great stealth camp, not sure on the menu though, more of these videos please
Thanks 🙏
Random tip , if making a bolognaise, you can use dried egg noodles instead (the thick ones not thin), like Sharwoods. Makes easy for storage and cooks a lot quicker than pasta , like 4 minutes, cause it’s an egg noodle and pasta usually has egg (well fresh does anyway) then cause of the sauce you don’t notice too much of a difference but much easier for storage and cook time. Great video as always
Thanks for the tip 👍👍
You have a really good set up Will..... happy travels
Thanks 🙏
You're back, dude!!! Nice to see that smile again.
🙏😊
Loved the video Will, you look like your head is in a better place this week. Cheers buddy 😄
Champion a stealth camp vid.👍🏻😃
🙂👍
The first time in a long time where I've found a channel I can just sit and binge. Crack on mate, Bluddy Fantastic videos!
Smashing it will! Glad to see a happier you!! Keep it up buddy!
Thanks Chris ✊💪
@@WillsWhereabouts no problem will I remember messaging you about
My mental health when I lost 2 jobs during the pandemic and your words helped a lot so I just wanna say thankyou! And your not alone pal!!
Life is on the up now!!
You seem a lot happier in this video today just like the car stealth days keep up with the awesome videos
Thanks David 👍🤘
Superb buddy. Good to see you happier than of late.
We'll have to meet up down the road somewhere when I'm in the truck for you to have a look around it.
Awesome thanks 🙏
The vans interior is looking really good 👍
Thanks Elaine 👍
I'm a lorry driver, it's not all that in the cab, 2 bunk beds (but no bunking.. Well there was a time north of Milan RHO,.. Oh and Lyon) 😂.
A Microwave above the windscreen in the cupboards and a fridge under the bed, but with beer/wine for the weekend and movies on the laptop it's ok.
Don't do Europe anymore just UK so got a campervan to get away in.
mate you're in my home town in this video!! thats so cool!!
on the key fob, you didn't mention anything about the battery, but i figure that was the first thing you tried. Another reason can be that your wifi internet device interferes with the fob's signal, once the battery level drops on the fob (you can power that off and try it, to eliminate this possibility). Also, some cars that are parked on a non-level terrain also are programed to not respond to the lock/unlock signal. Another reason can be the locking system fuse in the fuse panel fries. On a non related note, your spirits have lifted at least on camera, congrats.
Another great video Will. Always enjoyable!! Congrats on 200K
Thank you 🙏
Will, the shot of you reading your book - your place looks so comfortable and cozy. You've done an amazing job fixing up your truck. I hope you're able to find happiness in your new digs and your travels. I can certainly relate to your struggles.
Great video, keep it up mate
Thanks Tom 🤘
Great content mate. Your videos make boring times better. 👍
Thank you 🙏
Cant wait to get my van finished so i can also go watch lorries 😂. Glad to see you enjoying it. Looks like that time spent with neil and charlie has done the world of good
Time with friends is always great 👍
There’s an immobiliser that’s black in colour around the ignition barrel … check that out Will as that’s what went on mine . Great video btw
Thanks 🙏
