Stealth campers: how to disguise a van as a delivery truck and sleep in the city without fines

A trend for stealth campers — vans externally indistinguishable from commercial vehicles — is growing in Europe and the US. These vehicles have no side windows, extra lights, awnings, or vinyl decals, but inside they are equipped with a bed, kitchen, and toilet. In Spain, sleeping inside a properly parked camper is legal as long as no external elements are deployed, but local restrictions in Galicia and the Balearic Islands are tightening. A key camouflage element is an opaque bulkhead behind the front seats that hides the living area.

Horse manège set to be transformed into caravan storage

St Helens Council has approved a planning application to convert a former horse manège at Heathfield Farm in Widnes into storage for up to 22 touring caravans. The site, which had been used informally as a car park since 2019, will now serve as secure caravan storage. The planning officer determined the change would not harm the area's visual appeal or residents' tranquillity, and the Highways Advisor raised no objection, noting no increased risk to highway safety. Strict conditions have been attached to the permission, including limiting use to caravan storage only.
