For stealth camping you should use a blackout curtain or partition to separate the front cab from the living area. When you use your window covers that’s a beacon letting everyone know that someone is camping in the van. Leaving the front cab open just makes it look like the van is parked and the driver is out……I’m just sayin’
Black coloured blinds would at least be more stealthy.
Yeah...I agree
Exactly, was about to say the same, it's a 100% dead give away, that someone is living/sleeping in the van. And you don't use the front area anyways, and leaving that open, it just looks like a normal van that has been parked and left.
What does it matter though? A van with an exhaust and solar at the top. Yeah, sure no one is living in there for sure. With blinds all over the windows, for sure no one is in there. Seriously?
@@NothingbutDust734 well I have all of it and I don't live in it...
Hello from Taiwan🇹🇼 I’m a mom of a little boy, I work five days a week. I go to work after taking my kid to school , then pick up my kid after work. I mean,it’s really boring sometimes/most of the time. Your videos really lighten up my days and take me to places I probably won’t go in any time soon, or try things I won’t try anytime soon. Your freedom to travel in van ,your braveness to stay in random places and your little funny moments are really awesome. Just want to let you know that someone from the other side of the world really enjoy your video.
Mau god bless you & your boy!
Good 👍
Me too 😄
Hope youre ok after the earthquake
God bless you
Eats a McDonalds for lunch "I feel sick" then eats McDonalds for dinner and breakfast 😂

Jus had to season his stomach
England just doesn't like people parking overnight. Where as Scotland doesn't seem to have much of a problem with that. But you managed to find a place for the night. Good job. Thanks for sharing this stealth camping adventure. Have a great day.
You cant park overnight along Loch Ness unless it is in a camp site whichbis sad
those car park fines are uninforcable in Scotland, they can send you letters, you just ignore, they can't do anything.
What more could you ask for, breakfast lunch dinner and secure parking....sorted! Great video as always 👍
Me personally? Food that wasn't rubbish... 🥴 But we all have our preferences... 🤠
I'm in the U.S. and have never seen barriers at a McDonald's!
Never have I looked forward to watching a guy stealth camping in a car park outside McDonald’s until Wills Whereabouts channel was born into the world of RUclips. Great video 😊😊😊👍👍👍
I say to my pals if you only watch one A guy stealth camping in a car park outside McDonald’s video this year, make this one!
you heard of Ryan Twoney
I love how simple your life is. Honestly. I want it. I make huge money with big companies and all i can think about is when I can quit and make my life simple and relaxed.
Simple cause bank of mum and dad...never hear where he worked in the past.
Only found your channel yesterday mate so I've been watching from when you first bought the van and are now fitting the flooring. Very entertaining channel.
Rt
Mind blown! Seeing a drive thru in a place that drives on the left looks so crazy! 😄
The barriers are to prevent people leaving their cars at McDonald's and sodding off to the airport thus avoiding parking charges at the airport terminal or car parks cracking video as usual my good sir 👍
You’d be towed within the day, they’re more there to stop people using the car park as a drop off point. Whenever I drop anybody at the airport I either stop on the road by the hotel or drop them in the BP garage at the North Terminal (be sure to buy a mars bar from the shop and ask for a receipt) I’ve also dropped people off outside the Police station at the South Terminal lol - never been fined yet.
@@testpilotian3188 incorrect. nobody is allowed to tow or clamp your car without permission from the council, police or DVLA. And permission is only for specific occasions. Also the only parking fines that you must legally pay are those from the local council. A "fine" from McDonald's can be ignored with no consequence
@@giraffe3718 not with no consequence, they can take you to court for the fine, plus admin charges, and get the court to issue a CCJ.
@@Johnny5Toy Agree with this. The old advice to 'ignore with no consequence' is not valid anymore.
does it matter if they block the way like in the opposite direction
Not sure if it's been mentioned previously, but ever thought of spray painting your front blinds black? Would match you side windows and make it more stealthy? 😌 Otherwise great channel! 😃✌🏻
I think that every time I see them. I think they’re paper but black spray paint would work fine.
I am a 'Brit' who has lived in Northern Europe for the last 20 years. We returned to the UK last summer for a family visit and were entirely shocked at the parking restrictions and complex rules about 'which cars' are allowed to park 'where'. My children's God Father took us all to the movies in a town in Kent, but the parking process, the 'process' for ordering our 'Nando's dinner' and the 'process' for buying our cinema tickets was exhausting. The movie seemed like the least important activity. Has the UK become a place where there is a 'tax' on existing?? Try taking 'Mary' on a trip to Northern Europe. (a) You will find it very easy, and (b) the people are lovely - you know that when they sell beer in the petrol stations and not very many buy it!
Your van looks great Will! You've come a long way!
YES THEN THE BOY I COMMENTED THIS AND HE WENT AND DID IT. LEGEND !!
In areas surrounding airports everyone is looking for free or cheap parking, which is why airports, hotels etc. are so hot on it.
Just watching you eat three McDonalds meals in 24 hours makes me feel sick 🤢
I believe the gates and cameras are to try and stop the boy racers congregating. I hope you had a McPoo while you were there too 😃
New sub/viewer here. Love these videos they really relax me and reduce my stress/anxiety so thanks for that! The van looks so peaceful and cosy would enjoy chilling in there.
Thank you for explaining in the title what McDonald's is, I was confused for a second until I read your explanation.
Enjoyed video and they always say 3rd time is a charm
McD is pushing the McRib farewell tour here in the USA. Pssst…I love the McRib.
Any plain van with windows in the back always screams camper, you can spot them a mile away.
I’ve got a sign written windowless Van that’s a camper, park that anywhere because it looks like a works van
Love Your Viedos And Your Humor, Down The Shiter, LOL!! Congratulations On Your Van. Greetings From San Diego🌴
Hey Will. Why don't you put a removable security camera, with 360-degree panning, outside when parked up. That way, you can check the outside. Either on your phone or on the TV monitor. Just a thought 🤔
ahh my local Maccy D's and Sainsbrulls - didn't realise you were from this part of the world!
If you really wanted stealth you should have picked a cargo van with no window on the side or back. I put in two ceiling skylights works perfect. Still have room on the roof for solar panels too. And also a blackout drape behind the front seats. It slides on a track if you need to use the front seats for extra seating in a pinch.
Hey Will. Consider a white noise speaker (amazon sells them) to drown out street noises at night. Works for me, maybe it works for you
I tell you what, I may have been upset that it was a delayed upload, but the editing makes it worth it!
As a teenager from North Carolina in the mid-80s, I spent a summer in school in the Horley/Haywards Heath/Surrey/Sussex area. It's a bit shocking to see it looking so much like automobile-centric America these days! I have done plenty of stealth camping here in the last 20 years with my Casita fiberglass travel trailer, and I share your pain of finding a quiet spot that doesn't obviously break any rules.
Nice new underpants!
Here in my country Philippines , you can park anytime , anywhere at McDonald's with no restrictions and no parking fee.🤗 Stay safe always 🙌
Sige boss sabi mo e
But its too hot! Ive been there. Maybe u can be pioneer of van life there
They always do that near airports to stop people dumping their cars there and buggering off on holiday for 2 weeks!
You claiming to have a plan was probably the funniest bit of the video :')
The good thing about locking the gates to the carpark is that it will be more secure
always enjoy a good stealth camp, you should try get into some exclusive golf courses for a sneaky camp!
I don't think McDonald's UK has any high fructose corn syrup, preservatives or artificial food colouring.
That shows how much fun a own Camper can be, even without starting a huge trip. I should get one
OK....its 7am...sunday morning.........where I have my morning coffee and toast and check my emails and youtube videos for the latest news. I see this guy doing stealth camping so I figure I would check in and see whats happening. Little did I know that not even 5 min into the video I would be laughing my butt off about a guy going to McDonalds for the next 24 hours. I'm going to finish watching now......I guess while laughing and trying to finish my coffee!!!! Not sure why.....but you are hilarious my dear. I love the brits but now I love you even more. Thanks so much for sharing. Back to the video!
KFC next week? Brilliant! 🤣🤣👍👍
I have seen loads of videos all good content your van rebuild was epic
man i love your stealth camping videos :)
@Will's Whereabouts
This is a great idea! You should totally go two different hotels and different places where food can be tried out and try to eat that food for breakfast lunch and dinner and make a video series out of it. Obviously, you don't want to end up like some of the other RUclipsrs who get unhealthy on this, but this is maybe something that could be done once in awhile.
was that second tune Copywrite struck lol. with the chaos that often happens at mc d's is 60 min enough time
I love your video keep it up
Window condensation is an issue with stealth camping....I use a silver padded screen cover, but that would highlight your presence....mmm??
Mate i absolutely luv your videos you never fail to disappoint. Its pure entertainment.
I really enjoyed this episode Will.
Keep up the good work / and uploads 👍🏻

if you did this challenge in croatia you would instantly do the challenge. I didnt know they are "protecting" mc donalds parking spaces from overnight campers, it is so funny and shocking😳
That park side cafe is the dogs bollox too 😂😂sick vid
Cool video Will, I'm sure you have taken my music play list for your van thou 🤣🤣
Mcdonalds in the UK seems to have more security then a high security prison, cameras everywhere , barriers
is pretty cashless and everyone who eats there seems to play on the phone while eating
And today's sponser is Ronald McDonald.
Top man
Lol 😆
Always enjoy your humorous videos.
Is it me or are your video making skills really evolving? Great job Will!
The boy is on fire 🔥 young Claire 🔥 xxxxx
I no longer go to mcdonalds or kfc, but i had been thinking about making my own camper long time a go now going back to the idea. You done a smart job with it all and would say its gives more character to everything if you make it your self.
because are cheap, dont have to go in there
Two points:
Point One:
9.53 I see a barrier to my left and to my right... 🤫
Point Two:
last time I had anything with high fructose corn syrup, I wound up in hospital, couldn't breathe, or I had so much snot running down the back of my throat, it felt like I couldn't breathe! 😶
Bonus Point:
I work across the street from a McDonalds, Starbucks, Subway, and a Dairy Queen, and have never once went to any of them for food or drink... My takeaway preference is to live, because I'm rather fond of it, and don't want to take a chance having high fructose corn syrup again! 😄
That's all! Cheers Will! 🤠
🖤🦇
Reason Gatwick Maccies has the barriers is to stop the Uber/Addy Lee/taxi drivers from using it as a car park while waiting to go into Gatwick.
Never had you down as a marks boxers bloke more a Calvin Kline
Beware the one in Poole. No barriers but only 1hr from 8pm-8am then 3hrs in between during day. Just got caught out having breakfast there from 06.36-08.06.
You are mad will 🤣🤣 nice job 👏
McDonald's chicken nuggies are simply the best!... especially with sweet curry sauce! 👍👍
Manual camper van??? Dudes living his best lifeeee lol
Lmao I love it when you forget the stereo is turned up 😂😂😂
All macdonalds have these now love the video camera every macdonalds
You my friend have just gained another follower! Great watch😊
Vans looking well from the last vid I watched last night where you bought your curtains from IKEA 😂
crazy mate haha liked that
That van is so nice, it must have cost a lot
Good promotions to McDonald’s
Brilliant will funny to watch as always deffo had me laughing your videos just the best. nothing worse having bugs in the camper been waiting to watch that well worth the wait injoyed that alot can't wait for your next one now top man will X
I’ve never seen one with a gate. It’s always interesting seeing what different items are in other countries. I don’t think either those chicken sandwiches are in the US.
Fancy, mister rich guy M&S underwear :)
Someone’s doing well eh? 🤣
I eat at McDonalds maybe once a year and every time it reminds me why I only eat there once a year...
Proberly more nutritional goodness Eating those pants rather than McDonald's
😂
Will with the new SuperSize me documentary 😂 I’m still loving the van videos.
Lived in my van for 14 months never had any problems use ya noddle
Getting locked into a car park seems safer than sleeping on the side of the road.
You actually camped in the same spot a year ago and with the same sign.. You may have forgotten but I didn’t 😂😂
I frequent that McDonalds a lot. Popped in there at 11:30 couple of days ago and although everything was close, the gates were open.
Next video! Super Size Me Van Life Edition!
C est assez spécial un gars seul dans son fourgon qui débarque sur le parking du Mac do en tapant la discution tout seul.
Pour ensuite le voir ce filmer tout avalant son hamburger.
Que c est passionnant.
J dégage
Hope your stomach’s ok after all that. Try church car parks. Iv done a couple in my car with my dog. Nice and quiet.
Nice Van💖
Its half 1 in the morning and after watching your vid i have ordered myself 20 nuggets haha
The McCrispy is ok but it’s no spicy Mayo chicken legend totally agree
The van looks great man
Karol G for the music at first thats the way to go brother
McDonald's you can just park usually as long as you want to and if you are not bothering anyone. You probably should buy some food but I been known to park and crash out after a long day at work coming home at near 3am to tired and falling asleep pulled in to sleep no problems. Did wake up to a coffee and breakfast platter.
Nice video. Would love to see another at the Micky D's Chelmsford off the A12. A favorite stop when I visit from the U.S.
Dude, next time try the sausage egg and cheese McGriddle ❤ Your gonna love it!! Yum!!
Doesn’t your van need some sign writing “airport transfers”, “dog walkers”, “flowers to go”
Never seen McDonalds with barriers until now 😂
At almost 40 years old, I could NOT do three meals in one day at McDonald’s. The heart burn 😳😳😳.
I laughed when you said bacon and egg cos they done that to me once,I got my breakfast drove to work and was gonna eat when I got there and saw it
Keep the Karaoke driving Will! Flippin' great for mental health and realising all them endorphins! Tip: don't give up your day job....you haven't got a future in the music industry! 😆 Yeah do a "Wills karaoke driving" playlist on Spotify and get them to sponsor you. 😉
Looooove this, you are such a legend!
Will great video as ever... should have got your McDonald's via Just eat delivered to you 😂
Broo I never thought of that straight up I’m going too park my Winnebago in the McDonald’s parking lot too play some fortnite need any food just walk across the parking lot 🤣🤣
Pease pottage... I used to live in Haywards heath... Long time back..
I ask everybody to stop telling people were you are stealth camping ,it spoiling it for the rest off use ,as everyone will be looking out for use .
It seems to me someone has been watching some kbd productions tv. Where the guy literally does nothing but stealth camping outside of fast food joints.
