URBAN "STEALTH" CAMPING in a KIMBO Camper! | Tips & Tricks...
Ойын-сауық
Using the term "stealth" very loosely for this one. I was exhausted after the 16hr drive so there was 1 thing that I wanted to mention but forgot...
This should go without saying, but leave no trace. Don't leave trash in the area you are in, keep it clean, and even try not to use trash cans if possible. Keep everything self contained INCLUDING GREY WATER! This is easier when done in a set up like a van but as always, leave the place better than you found it.

I'm laughing at the start of the video. The Kimbo is anything but stealth. Ha ha ha. Glad to see you back in the Taco with the Kimbo.

I found out about KIMBO because it's owner parked in our local YMCA... He lives there and is an employee! Stealth is how you see it. I am now in the rabbit hole of KIMBO slide in truck campers and I am putting my condo on the market because I am sold on this type of lifestyle for a few years.
Tahoe local here! You're probably gone already, but if not or for the future if you want to offroad camp hit Johnson Lane in Minden about 45 minutes from Reno. Hundreds of miles of BLM land, truck friendly, camp literally anywhere. And in the morning you're like half an hour drive to Tahoe. Enjoy our little corner of paradise!
As a truck driver most truck stops have vans/cars people parking and sleeping. Just don't take a semi truck spot. Honestly most rest areas across the country are safe and monitored on occasion by highway patrol some even have security.
This has been one of my most inconveniences when it comes to these sort of setups. Its why Ive considered doing the van thing, but I just love the way these trucks look with the kimbo on the bed. Ive been conjuring up some sort of mod to the rear of my pick up and making a hatch door/ winddow, so if when I decide to pull t he trigger on a Kimbo I can then mod it so that theres a port of entry from the cab of the truck.
Check out California Sno-Parks. Season pass is $40. There's quite a few around Tahoe. I'll be in the area on 3/2 with my Kimbo for over a week. Road tripping ski season. Hit me up if want to ski.
A good spot is a casino parking lot. There are usually lots of RVs parked there. Plus they may have a decent buffet so you won't have to cook. Most open 24/7.
Drove from the Texas panhandle to Indianapolis in a Lincoln Towncar to watch a car race. 950 miles in one day was ridiculous, but Lincoln made one hell of a comfortable car.
Great video an loved how you pointed out things with what your doing to get by for the night situation etc
Just purchased a Rubicon 1200 trailer and that's something I'm looking forward too , thanks for the tips
Great tips. Can't believe you did that many miles in 1 day. Love your channel Talon! From #67 outside Minneapolis, MN
Good tricks and tips in video!
I'll be by shortly to close your tailgate. You're welcome. 😉

Just saw your video last night. Love your channel, been watching for years. We live in Reno and have a campervan. It would have been great to connect. Have fun in Tahoe!
All good tips. Yup !
"You know where I stand about second amendment" automatically means beware of lead poisoning
That is a lot of miles in one day! I once did a 14 hour day, about 900 miles, towing a RV. I was spent.
Highly recommend checkin out Virginia City while in the Reno area! Super awesome!!
As always, good video. Been following since you lived down here in Florida and I don't think you've ever mentioned your fitness/workout regimen, likes, dislikes etc. Obviously not worthy of an entire video but maybe you could touch on nomad fitness in some video in the future 🤙🏻
Reno! You were in our hometown! Park in front of our place next time
I have a pop up truck camper, if it's hot out, I was thinking truck stops so I can run my Honda with my window air. Never tried it yet, but if semi's can run reafers all night, then I'm sure a 50 decibel Gen under the truck shouldn't be a problem.
Reno has 3 of yelps top 100 restaurants in the usa… arario is great. Ayce sushi is awesome here
I would totally have a camera system with a intercom
If you FedEx wrap the Storyteller you should be able to stealth camp it. But seriously, what are your thoughts on hitting a state park en route since the Kimbo setup is not so stealthy?
Yea 80 west of 81 in pa is a snoozefest

I bet he has some great stories about the Russian OMAN. I Watched a video of them catching a black market sturgeon operation.
If you made a channel dedicated only to Kimbo videos I would subscribe.
Reno … should have crashed a Trent’s place … he should’ve had some land for the Kimbo ..
So this could be me overthinking.. but since you’re in the Kimbo, is there another means of egress in case someone were to close the tailgate and swing out?

Can you get out if someone puts your tailgate up?
I never thought about it but can you get out if someone closed your tailgate when you are inside?

The Kimbo psychologically says 2nd Amendment. Not a bad thing.
That journey sounds stressful! Could you not have found a reststop between Salt Lake City and Reno? What about finding something on an app like iOverlander?

Yeah, .. I've Done This Stuff For Decades.. Stealth Is Not Easy In A Vehicle Like That.. I Agree With A Lot Of It.. But, Any Stealth Starts With A Vehicle That Don't Stand Out.. If The Vehicle Dont Blend In To The Surroundings.. You Have No Stealth..
How da hell you call camping in that thing Stealthy LOL Kidding but not kidding.
How do you get out if some asshole closes your tailgate? That would stress me out.

You can reach out the window and drop the tailgate back down. Most people don’t have swing outs but if someone close my tailgate and swing I would use one of the 2 big windows.
