Sleeping in a Van in the City Without Getting Caught

How do you live in a van without getting caught in the city? After nearly 7 years of full-time vanlife, I’ve learned how to stealth camp in urban areas without drawing attention—from avoiding rangers to picking the perfect parking spot. In this video, I share real-world stealth camping tips, tricks, and personal stories from vanlife in Australian and New Zealand cities like Auckland or Perth. Whether you’re new to van life or a seasoned nomad, this guide will help you stay safe, respectful, and invisible in urban areas. 📍 These tips are especially helpful for solo female vanlifers, but they apply to anyone trying to live low-key in a van.
