    After building out my DIY Uhaul tiny house conversion for over a year and a half, we finally start adventuring. In episode 5 of the stealth camp series, we do a not so stealthy camp at Matagorda Beach!

    You really have to do the food truck idea, watching you cook is making me hungry.
    My husband was a cook among other things and you remind me alot of him.

    Pro tips for beach camping:
    1. Don't park on the sand overnight unless you know EXACTLY where the tide will come in. I got extremely lucky and the local police woke me up at 2am so I could drive out of the water.
    2. Put a shallow bin (9x12 or so) with water in it next to your entry. Before you enter the living area, step into the water and the sand on your feet will fall right off.

    Now that I come to think of it... this is way better than the Spinters either modern or classic but no room at all.. but this this is more spacious and it does feel like living ..feeling in a studio .. cozy! Love for the fact you're just living simple and chilled!

    That is a beautiful beach, so cool you got a sliding glass door and can just sleep laying on the beach without getting sand in your every nook and cranny...beautiful. I just love your stealth build.

    I lived on the ocean ( in a regular house) & that salty air disintegrates everything! My ex bought a regular gas bbq & in 6 months most of it was rusted out. I never realized how the salty air can munch most things.. we lived & learned a lot. Wash off everything , underneath too, when you leave that area; I’m sure you probably know that ! Cool vid!

    Very cool! So wonderful to see the van out in "nature" and using the deck to enjoy the beauty of the natural scenery.
    The funniest part is the multimillion dollar homes right alongside you in the same location. An interesting juxtaposition of what life can truly be.

    Van looks fantastic!
    It's Jamaican thing , wash your chicken with water and vinegar or lime, it gets rid of that slimy feeling and BBQ sauce is not a seasoning. lol
    I saw a later build as a toy hauler, and had to check out more of your videos.
    Also maybe a bug screen on the back door, you could use one with magnets that hold together in the middle.
    My brother has one so his dog can come and go and slit closes by it self.
    Very envious. lol

    Even in those little grills if you pile the coals up in one corner you have a lot more control over temperature... just a little trick I learned over many years of doing the chef thing in big and small commercial kitchens and backyard barbecuing.

    I think I would have an electric bike or scooter for quick trips to the grocery store, etc. Otherwise, you have to pack up everything and get it secured, each time you have to go somewhere. Seems like that would be a pain.
