Agree it's an interesting topic!
I'm from London so 'stealth' made complete sense when I set-up my windowless panel van, however, that's not where I want to be & as soon as I started spending time in the countryside I felt I stood out like a sore thumb! Truth is, any vehicle parked alone will attract the locals' attention/concern directly proportional to how mysterious it is. Then I got into wind surfing so now there's a 14' board strapped to the roof at all times. You still can't tell it's a live-in but now now it's immediately recognised as 'someone on holiday', probably on the move & probably of no threat. That's my feeling anyway. The board does attract attention but only in the form of friendly inquisitive chat, to date.
Always cracks me up when I see a 'stealth' van with a wood burner chimney poking out the top
So that would be my advice: some sort of advert so show how fluffy you are & approachable you would be
