Is A Converted Ambulance Camper For You?

Like# 1 - Woooohoooooooooo - I set my alarm, left for work early so I would be ready for your Friday's drop!

I like the fact you can get to the driver's seat without getting out of the vehicle, a lot of external lighting also.

I've seen videos of people turning ambulances into traveling campers and I really think it is great to see how wonderful they look when they turn them into campers like with this one Thank You and have a great weekend.🇺🇲👋🤠👋🇺🇲

l did have an ambulance in the late 90s. I bought it to cut the roof off and put back the body in its original configuration. It was a 1972 Chevy Suburban 4x4 with cargo doors. Only a few were made making it very rare. It came with everything, a gurney, oxygen generator, lights, sirens, radio, outside, speaker, etc. Everything worked. Never got around to putting it back to original configuration and sold as is to a Mountain EMT unit in Montana that needed a 4x4 ambulance.

Aloha, Wil! Nice to see what you've done on the ambulance so far. That little O-Go potty looks like a nice affordable option and easy to keep clean. Very important for those of us with kids. Becky was right about the bunk and it looked it gave you lots of floor space. Hope you're enjoying the travels and be safe!

That's the cat's meow, perfect for a lot of situations!

I love it!! On our trip to Alaska 2022, we saw many cool conversions for Rving. We are special people that get satisfaction from making our rigs custom to our liking. Thanks for the great video once again!!

Wow very cool...I think I am gonna stay with my 6x10 cargo for now...

I have a sprinter and would love to swap it out for a diesel ambo! Love that they have some cabinets and are pretty square for building out.

I definitely like his setup. I’d remove that bar off the ceiling too. Maybe I missed it but I’m surprised he doesn’t have an onboard generator.

I think ambulances make amazing conversions. All the cabinets and storage space in them is great! I feel like they would be a fairly easy conversion. Even equipped with a potty. That's great! I really like it. I'd like a school bus too lol. But I would want a short one. We've talked about it. But haven't taken that plunge.

Love it

Very cool.

Great ambulance 🚑 conversation. Thank you sharing this with us 👍.

Nice video. Cool rig. I bought a 1991 ford E350 dually ambulance with a 7.3 IDI in it, got it back a month and a half ago. Already got most of the exterior painted, interior is mostly down to the studs (except that corner compartment that has the heater/AC at the top, which has to be disconnected first before I can mess with it, but not much insulation above it anyway). I’m about to start reinsulating the whole thing over the next couple days. Saved all the cabinets, which will be stripped of the old vinyl, cleaned and painted or re-covered. The insulation in mine wasn’t well done, or parts had been broken over the years. It’s ok, the cabinets are great, everything will just get updated with fresh materials and reinstalled with a couple changes. I was fortunate to land on a really good condition 1991, in service til 2023, finishes were a roughed up and aged, but the motor, trans, undercarriage, and chasis were in good shape, almost no rust. Put $1800 into brakes and shocks, sway bar bushings. Thankfully no air ride in the back, which might be nice, but I would rather not deal with compressor or bag issues all the time. Compartments in the box can be cut pretty easily, so it shouldn’t deter people from getting the ambulance based solely around storage. It’s hard to find the “perfect” one, especially if you are looking for an older one. I was looking for a 1990-1994 F350 with the 7.3 IDI and a pass through….. hard to find in really good shape. Did find a couple, checked two out, one didn’t have the pass through, but got sick of potentially having to travel long distances to go look at a bunch of ambulances, which is when this 1991 E350 popped up with less than 100k miles on it, and under $7k, with a near mint exterior and good shape motor, retro brick nose front end…. SOLD 😂😂. It drives great! It may not be the right fit for everyone, but for those people looking into van sized platforms, ambulances make for a great small RV platform. Take care everyone 🙏

Great discussion! All of us have different requirements, and find different solutions. Today we have a greater variety of vehicles than ever before.

Very interesting, thank you. Regards AJ

Nice setup. The one elusive truck camper feature, the passage between front and rear. Making a big pot of Chili today, we'll leave a couple of honorary bouls out for you and Linda.

Nice!

I have the Trelino. The membrane is built into the pee jug cap so no making sure the membrane goes in the hole. It also has a #2 basket to put the bag inside and then there is a cover to that to really help contain any smells. You can buy them in short, medium and tall. Love the ambulance. I think they make great campers. You guys would need a 4x4 ambulance!
