Overview

Todd Champion turns two used porta-potties into a “stealth camper” by bolting them together, upgrading the interior, and creating a covert setup he can access without drawing attention.

Stealth camper build & access method

  • The porta-potty doors can’t be opened normally, so:
    • A cousin (John) cut off the front rail.
    • Bolts were welded onto the base.
    • Todd removes the rail by unscrewing the bolts to access the interior.
  • For stealth/availability:
    • He stores the removed rail on the trailer behind the porta-potties.
    • He parks and stays in a different “show/tour” spot first, then moves to his final overnight spot.

Interior “luxury stealth” features (tour highlights)

  • Real brick on the walls.
  • Hardwood-look flooring (styled to appear like hardwood, but not real hardwood).
  • A mix of materials/finishes, including different linoleum on one side.
  • Portable AC setup:
    • Hose system for heat exhaust and air intake.
    • The AC runs via a power station to cool the small space.
  • Custom toilet-seat setup:
    • Todd made/installed a toilet seat.
    • A mirror is added to the toilet-seat area for a personalized “camp bathroom” feel.
  • Original porta-pottie doors retained for authenticity.
  • Locks added to secure the doors from inside.
  • Decor/comfort:
    • A plant for ambience.
    • A “live, laugh, love” rug.
    • A fan mounted like a ceiling fan that also provides light.
    • A chair inside used as a makeshift table for food.

On-site stealth & security routine

  • He uses:
    • A live camera feed outside to check whether approaching people are “cops” (if unsure, he keeps the door closed).
    • A second external action camera with live view on his phone.
  • Distraction/cover tactic:
    • He wraps/disguises the action camera in his kids’ shorts to make it less noticeable.
  • Timing/behavior around traffic:
    • He tries to work only when the parking lot seems clearer.
    • He checks the feed before opening the door.

Power & cooling (sponsored gear included)

  • He plugs the portable AC into a Blue Eddy power station to run it overnight.
  • He claims the Blue Eddy Elite 300 can handle high-demand appliances (notably a portable AC).
  • He highlights charging convenience via a bundle including:
    • Blue Eddy Elite 300 power station
    • Blue Eddy Charger 2 (smart charging using alternator + solar)

Sleeping setup

  • Bed: a HeliBox bed (new to him).
  • Before assembling:
    • He removes/relocates items to make room because the bed takes most usable space.
    • He forgot an inflatable mat and had to retrieve it from the truck.
  • Bed installation notes:
    • Components are labeled (A, B, C, D) to help assembly.
    • Wooden slats use grippy/sticky material so the inflatable mat doesn’t slip.
  • Practical comfort:
    • The trailer/camper is on a slant and has no leveling jacks, so he expects movement and possibly sleeping leaning toward a wall.
  • Later testing:
    • He tests whether the bed can fit over the AC/power setup.

Food & bathroom improvisation

  • Food:
    • He orders Taco Bell via DoorDash.
    • He avoids cooking inside so he doesn’t heat the space.
    • He instructs delivery in a way meant to help the driver find him (including a red Dodge Ram, the porta-potties, and “knock on the door”).
  • Bathroom solution:
    • He briefly leaves the camper to use the bowling alley restroom.
    • Later, he improvises peeing inside using a squirt bottle.
    • He mentions deterrents if someone gets close—“fart spray” as a defensive gag/repellent idea.
  • Cleanup/food handling:
    • He buys cheap paper towels from Walmart and uses them under wrappers as a temporary surface.
    • He eats in the chair area while monitoring the parking lot via camera.

Interactions & delivery moment

  • The DoorDash driver (Jose) approaches while Todd is inside.
    • Todd warns/labels it as a porta-potty “stealth camp” setup.
    • The driver checks the interior and agrees it’s hard to see lights from outside.
  • Todd briefly worries that opening the door could give away his position, but he checks the outdoor camera and believes he’s okay.

Nighttime + morning wrap-up

  • He monitors the lot until the bowling alley closes for the night.
  • After assembling the bed:
    • He eats/drinks a specialty soda and reads comments.
  • Morning:
    • He wakes a little after 7 a.m. (the bowling alley opens at noon).
  • Packing:
    • He packs quickly by leaving the bed and AC in place to reduce work.
    • He removes the rest as needed and leaves.

Notable “mystery” moment

  • When leaving, he finds a “muffin man” item:
    • A wrapped muffin set in the camper area with a candle labeled “3.”
  • He’s confused about whether it was left for him (possibly by the DoorDash driver or a cat) and checks his time-lapse for clues.
