All right, all right...
You started it. Let's see who has the strangest/weirdest stealth camping van
story.

Mine is  deciding to wait overnight for a fuel injection shop to open,  for
a turbo diesel vanagon injection problem I was having one winter, and this
was in Tacoma, Wa.
  Parked in a huge empty industrial lot. Wasn't 10 minutes before some
weirdo was knocking on the driver's door selling drugs. Gotta get outta
there, so......
 Drive to a nearby neighborhood.  Parked there about 6 minutes and a guy
comes out of a house across the street with a rifle. I'm telling him,
'relax, relax...just waiting for a shop to open, having a car problem etc.'
..he grumbles but let's us be.
 Slept with boots on that night, and fully clothed,  ready to jump up in an
instant and get out of there fast if need be !

We've stealth camped in many places, probably the funniest was in a FedEx
parking lot in Halifax.  Not the public parking lot, the FedEx truck parking
lot.   We got a few funny looks when we got out of the van in the
morning....
