Once again demonstrating lack of knowledge of what stealth camping entails.
1. If stealth camping no one knows you are there so no one can be offended.
2. When stealth camping it is recommended to use commercial areas and suggested that residential areas be avoided.
3. You do not stealth camp two nights in any one location.
The problem is caused by vagrants, derelicts, homeless, and others but not by stealth campers. The object of stealth camping is to be invisible. The dilapidated/unsafe RVs causing the problem are anything but invisible.

Oh, please...
"Stealthcamping" by its very definition is parking a rig where it's not supposed to be...else why the need for all the elaborate "hiding"-type ruses employed? Since there's no way to make an RV truly invisible (is there?), most of those ruses involve attempting to hide the fact that the rig is actually occupied.
It's hard for me to believe that there are actually grownups that seem to enjoy playing such games but since there are those that do so in spite of being perfectly able to pay their way, I can think of no other reason than "the thrill" for doing it. I often wonder if camo face paint and/or Ninja hoods are involved...
And per any difference between these and the- what? "lower classes"?-
I'm pretty sure that residents/businesses that have to put up with such nonsense consider all unpermissioned overnight occupants of their streets/parking lots as freeloading trespassers, regardless of how shiny the rig is.
