admiring a stealth rv

I might agree with jaxdad, but not when its parking in a walmart neighborhood grocer in west hartford, ct. If you know the area you'd know what I mean. This store just opened this year. I'm sure the traveler came to the lot cause walmart is usually rv friendly and he probably saw the location listed online. But rv's and vans like this stick out like a sore thumb in this area

also in the front cab was an opening to the rear area covered with a black curtain.


I wish i had taken a pic, but once i saw a beat up white sprinter van with foil covering the windows and an old directv dish propped up on top of it.

So motorcycle racers and dog breeders don't shop?

Besides, the others'tell' is that the genset is a) on a removable mount in the trailer hitch. It can be removed to allow use of the hitch and / or walk ramp, something that wouldn't be required (the roll up door) on an RV. Further, the genset is plugged into a long extension cord. Long enough to use it after moving it clear of the door & ramp, and with twist lock plugs in the middle so it can be plugged into commercial power sources, not RV type sockets.

There's also sign of fresh water or waste water provisions.

Sorry, still not convinced of 'stealth RV'.

Nice job blowing the cover for the FBI surveillance truck! LOL

We used to video inspect storm and sanitary sewer pipe lines from box trucks that looked a lot like that but had two AC units on the roof (to protect the electronics). The diesel genny was in the driver's front corner of the box with outside radiators and exhaust.

I wish I had taken a Picture of the rig that pulled our stick 5th wheel back from North Dakota to Iowa. It was a Uhaul cab with a sleeper off a Freightliner. This kid was hauling trailers from Indiana to northern Montana to the oil fields and we were his load back.

I guess he only thought he was stealthy. :B

I wouldn't rush to call that an RV, lots of folks use air conditioned cube vans for a wide variety of uses.

For instance I see that that truck is covered with Sunoco and other auto related bumper stickers. These rigs are hugely popular with motorcycle racers.

Another group that use these setups a lot are dog breeders. They can put a lot of animals in the back and the a/c is to keep them cool and comfortable.

If it were an RV I'd expect to see things like at least one window and a man-door.

WV tag and a "Flying WV" sticker just above the plate.
