This thread has been of an enormous help to me, both, motivationally and information-wise. I hope to keep hearing more from forum members!

I think you are right. The place where you park plays a key role.

Your comments are reassuring, and I agree with you, especially about the window smashers. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this very useful information, Van-Tramp. I was kind of fixated on Planet Fitness, but now I can see that the $40/month for Anytime Fitness is a much better deal for my plans based on your comments. Even in my little town in Washington State there is an Anytime Fitness...

All seems to be in my head more than in reality. I keep getting very positive encouragement. Thank you very much for your comments!

Well, I was worried that if somebody saw me while I was crawling through the cab’s back window they might think I was up to no good and call the police or something, but everybody seems to be telling me that there is no reason to worry. What do you think?

Yes, I agree with you. Maybe I was worrying too much about the possibility of been seen, but, doing it carefully, as you say, it is very doable. Thank you!

Thank you, Johnny!

Thank you for your useful comments. Yes, I was thinking of blocking the topper windows the way you say.

Yes, you are right! Thank you!

Excellent points. Thank you. It more and more looks like I can do urban stealth camping in my pickup.

Thank you, Elbear1, yes, all those places look like good candidates, but at this point my question is basically how to climb from front to back and vice-versa with the least possibility of being seen, not about locations where to park overnight. But thank you, anyway!

Thank you, Brian, but the sunscreen just on the windshield, not on the windows? I don’t quite follow your logic completely, but it might be a good idea. Leave it on all night? I was thinking of parking overnight outside 24 hour supermarkets for instance (among other locations, of course)...

Hello everybody, I have a 1994 Ford Pickup F150 4.9 L single cab with a fiberglass topper/shell connected to the cabin by means of an accordion boot, so I can go back and forth between cab and topper/shell through the cabin’s slide back window. The pickup is in perfect shape both mechanically...

Welcome Proxima! I am new here too, although I don't have any experience RVing or van life. I think this site is a lot of fun, and there are lots of interesting information and comments from members. See you around!

Hi Marcus, Oh my God, I just realized you are new here too! So, we are welcoming each other! J I am a solitary creature too as you described yourself, and like yourself, right now, this very moment getting rid of tons of stuff, posting “For Free” ads on Craiglist and making trips with...

Thank you, MaTaLa! I think the key is to never stop doing it for as long as you can. The longer the period you don't do it, the harder it becomes to do it again.  The same thing happens with cold showers, which I have been doing all summer. The parts of your body that you keep under the water...

Thank you, guys, for your nice welcoming words.  Very soon I will be contributing to this site, most probably with just questions, since at this point I am only a wannabe, although many of the questions I had have already been asked by other site members, and the proper responses posted. I am...

Hello everybody, I just wanted to introduce myself. I have been visiting the site for a long time and reading lots of very interesting posts, but never had the decency (LOL) to say hi, which I do now. The posts and discussions are very interesting and informative and that is what really makes...
