For anyone who's spent any time sleeping in a van or car in public parking, this feels like gently worded subtext that fits in with this from the 'safety' section:

> While sleeping in normal parking I think it is important to keep discrete so people will not bother you and you will not annoy anyone.

In much of the world, going outside to pee in the bushes in a populated area carries a nonzero risk of attention from law enforcement and a progression to sleeping outside minus the now impounded van.

Try "sleeping under a bridge the rest of your life". Public exposure is a registerable offense in some states.

Fortunately there's plenty of world outside of the United States, where peeing outside does not make you a sex offender.

Public exposure convictions/registration from people who are innocently peeing somewhere they shouldn't is vanishingly rare. As in, I've never seen a report of a conviction that I found credible, but if I did, I'd bet lots of money that you couldn't find a second one. What I HAVE found is lots of people on the registry for indecent exposure who tell their friends "I was just peeing in alley, I swear", but I do not count those as credible.

Do you really expose to the public when you are turning your back to everyone?
