r/StealthCamping

So I built an entire town statue to see if I could stealth camp in it.

The top is a mannequin in thrifted clothing, sprayed bronze. It’s leaning on a sculpture I found at a car boot sale.

It has a plaque, a full interior set up with bed, entertainment, lighting and ring doorbell system

I tried it on my local town high street and it was a massive fail! At 11:30pm a drunk guy got on top and then started trying to get inside too.

I made the plaque a bit too cheeky as I didn’t think anyone would actually read it so lesson learnt

Full video on YouTube if anyone is interested in watching the chaos unfold.

Defo going to try and do another one

A neolithic dolmen is a type of single-chamber megalithic tomb. lt usually features two or more upright giant stone slabs supporting a massive flat horizontal capstone.

It was another unique place to do a stealthcampfor me. It is in an area of Belgium where there are more dolmen and menhirs of about 5000 BC.

The dolmen I camped was the smaller and more difficult to reach. It was a special experience to be around that area after sunset to be honest.

But I kept respectful to the site, left no trace and I am glad my country has plenty of these unique spots

The sunset and sunrise was truly remarkable.

Three months ago I started building Spot Rigg - a navigation tool for motorhomes, campervans, and 4WDs that matches spots to your actual vehicle dimensions instead of generic size categories.

What I got right:

The vehicle profile system. You input length, height, width, weight, ground clearance, and whether you have 4WD. Every spot has matching hard limits. The fit score is calculated, not estimated.

Allemannsretten integration. Norwegian right-to-roam legislation is baked in - not a disclaimer, actual compliance filtering.

Cell signal reports by carrier. Telenor, Telia, Ice - bar ratings per spot submitted by real users.

What I got wrong:

Building before the community existed. The app is technically solid but I have almost no spot data outside areas I've personally visited. That's the actual product - the database.

What I still need:

People who know their regions. If you camp in Scandinavia, Scotland, the Alps, or anywhere with serious terrain - your spot submissions with real dimension data are worth more than any feature I can build right now.

The app is free. No paywall. You can submit spots, flag bad data, and report cell coverage from anywhere.

If you've built something similar or tried to solve this problem a different way, I'd genuinely like to hear what you learned.

Does anyone have any experience with this roof top cargo carrier. Seems like a good middle ground between a hard shell carrier and a bag.
