Retired Paramedic here. Type 1 is on a pickup frame and usually doesn’t have walk through from cab to box. Type 2 is a van with a raised roof. Type 3 is usually a dually van chassis with a box on the back and walkthrough. The nomenclature isn’t important though. Terrific video Bob! Remember, with newer diesels, you may need def. The older rigs had extremely oversized alternators that are expensive to fix. The boxes have wiring for all the interior lights, touch screens, suction, radios. It’s not a simple module. You most likely will need to block out or change the lenses on the emergency lights depending on the state.
Former Medic here. Your comment is right on the dime. Thanks. I have a type 1 decommissioned F350 6.0 that rocks. I named the cab Beastie and the ambu box Robin's Nest (after a cherished gf).
Any idea where I can find insurance. Or what it is I have to do to get a used ambulance insured. Progressive (the conversion go to, says no) I feel like I have called everyone.
Love ambos. They have so many built-in cabinets overhead already. And, when you walk in, most have a place on the right where oxygen was and behind that, you can use as a closet. Can't wait to see the inside.
I used to work on the local ambulances. they were built on a 5 ton chassis. I was really attracted to how robust the electrical system was, they're basically a miniature power plant on wheels.
With all the interviews you do I’ve been wondering why you didn’t get more space sooner. This is exciting you deserve to be as comfortable as possible in your journey!
After 12+ months of research & thought, I’ve decided on one as well - for all of the reasons you note. But adding in, they’re not just well-built, they are maintained while in service.
Congrats Bob! I am sooo happy for you. You give and give of yourself... for YEARS! Have fun and enjoy and I can hardly wait to watch your videos of the build.
Hi bob and cody the showman. Congrats on your new office . gotta a name for him. Call him lance or big red. Love the color. If you have to change it a egg shell white. Or. Plain white. Would be nice. Cant wait until you do a video after you complete everything to show. Love you mom and cody. Thank you for everything. You are amazing.
You are so right about how personal a choice the rig is. I never cease to be amazed at the individuality people bring to their rigs. I once saw a shuttle bus where the woman had a hammock hanging from the ceiling and that was her bed. Just amazing what people come up with. Besides all your personal reasons for choosing an ambulance, I think it is appropriate because you are such a life saver!! Ha, ha. : )
Bob...thanks for everything you do to help us all prepare. As we speak, there are climate emergency refugees on the move, and your videos help remind us to have our cars, vans, trucks, rv's, buses, and trailers prepped. The videos I'm seeing with interviews with people who have prepped (even with bags and a toilet pale) are more at ease than those who just had to run our the door with no prep. Thanks for what you have and are doing.
I'm so happy for you... that you've found a vehicle that's gonna work best...I'm just so happy for you... I love listening to you... I love your TH-cam channel...I thank you so much... I've learned so much through you...THANK YOU.
I have been in municipal equipment repair, maintenance, and replacement my entire career. During that time I have maintained and purchased dozens of ambulances of various ambulance manufacturers. You are absolutely correct in stating that an ambulance is a quality built product, even more so than a school bus. Question: what is the make of your ambulance? I have been to ambulance manufacturers facilities in Kansas, Indiana and 'Florida and found them all to be top notch builders. When you consider that an ambulance is a mobile ER the quality and durability HAS to be there, no ifs ands or buts about it, no compromise allowed.
Looks like Bobs new ambulance is a Wheeled Coach GSA edition. I sold Wheeled Coach for a few years and they build a very strong box at their plant near Orlando, FL.
I've got an ambulance also. It's a 1991 E350 diesel 2wd, with a MedTech box on the back. It's my daily driver, but I can use it for camping too. I would buy one again in a heartbeat.
@@sa78247 I appreciate your information. Where do I look at an ambulance? Make/model/type/. I have no idea where to start but it sounds like this would be something I would look for as a solo female driver. Of course I would like to add all the bells and whistle‘s and I don’t like driving in mountains without good brakes and a good transmission that will slow me down on its own like Cummings or Allison. Can you part with some tips? I sure would appreciate it. Oh and what can I expect pricewise?
Glad you mentioned the tires. I met a guy with a Ford F450 who was trying to change a tire and it must have weighed over 100 lbs. And if it happens to be the inside tire on the rear that means you have two tires to deal with.
Good on you, Bob, for attending to your needs and thank you for explaining your rationale so well - you're right, an ambulance might not be the right choice for everyone. Enjoy the new spaciousness and the settling in. Cheers!
Bob, I love your honesty and straight-forwardness! I watch vlogs where people move into RVs to live full time and I wonder how they can afford to keep purchasing as their "crap boxes" fall apart! You're a peach 🍑!!
OMGosh! I needed to see this video. I converted a school bus with the soul reason to get into nature. It's too big. I am now converting a tiny transit connect to live in while I sell the skoolie. Wasn't sure which way to go after that UNTIL NOW! I will be buying an ambulance! Thanks Bob!
Hi bob your lance is super. But i didnt catch your thoughts on a step van. The big one. The size of a ups truck.or a small one I thought about a step van What is your thoughts on that . thank ypu.
I’ve been living in my 4x4 Ambulance conversion off and on for 3 years now and love it! Same year and exact same body as Bob’s. Super reliable and well built vehicles. My only complaint is they bounce like crazy when towing anything on interstates.
An ambulance is the way this 71 y.o. single woman went, but strictly for convenience. And I followed one of your interviews to Arizona. Couldn't be happier! I know you'll love it!
you are honestly, an amazing guy, i love how you said its everyones personal choice and everyone is different and its not right or wrong for anyone of us. thank you so much for your words it helps nd is just awesome. i dont have enough words it spoke to my heart.
@@ronnieguitar99 , he once said he keeps his rig a mess and will never show it. I was hoping moving to a bigger space that would of changed. Would really like to see how a full time business person sets up everything. We will never know.
@@ronnieguitar99 you need to learn the basics first. Then gracefully ask with intelligent questions, after doing some research. Van dwellers are very creative and not spoon fed.
At my apartment, when an ambulance shows up everyone runs to see who is in trouble, I am staring at the vehicle and drooling over the compartments etc, lol. Good for you and hope to see a tour 💚🇨🇦
Congratulations Bob! How awesome you are donating your old van and it will make a future nomad very happy. I know you will retrofit your ambulance to be perfect for you!
Hiding in plain sight. We had ambulances in service like these parking around the shaded area of the cities all day and nights too. They can park about anywhere w/o anyone complaining.
Or he want to help every-body, who is knocking at the door: drunken guys, confused people, helpless homeless . . . and he ' s the doc, studied by life !
Awesome new ride! Just watched the new movie nomadland and your performance brought me to tears. You are such an amazing person! Thanks for all you do.
Top vehicles sell fast. The price goes up. Cant figure out why prices sky rocket up at a time like this. People is homeless. The pandemic is not over yet. People is taking there last dollar to by a home. The prices go up on everything. Gas is up. Buy it now. There are estimated 650.000 people homeless and rising. I just dont understand. Lets all pray for everyone. I do. Thank jesus daily for what we have today. We thank him for what he did on the cross for us. I do. Life is to short. We have only one life to live. Jesus will make a way for everyone. We trust. We believe. We have faith in jesus. We give him all the praise and glory. We all will make it through this hard time. Just pray and pray and pray where ever you are. Whatever we all do.dont ever give up.there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel. Follow the light. Jesus is the light and the way. Thank you. Love you all. The government controls sll of our lives daily. They are at fault of the pandemic and everything else. They are never prepared for anything. Misery loves company. So we all need to pray for them to bring back all jobs. And businesses to for the usa. Leave the jobs there in other countries for there people. We need all the businesses back at home. Pay checks should meet better than the cost of living. The rich people depend on us poor people to do all the dirty work for them. But they dont like to pay. They need to do the work themselves. See how it feels. Let them be homeless for a month. No job. No money. No food. No cell phones. No place to go No family or friends or neighbors help. No house. Just the steets. I wonder how they would feel then. Add all the rich pastors of churches to. The rich ones. They keep crying tp take peoples money for parties and pay days.load up there bank accts. With another million or two every month. They never say stop. Put the money in the plate. Buying music. Etc. They never say anything to help the poor. They never donate to the major charrities. If they do. Its a tax write off.there are some good preachers or pastors out there. Where are they.who are they. The usa is in a big fat mess.why is china making all the vehicle parts and cars on every vehicle.china makes everything. Ehere is our jobs.look where our clothes is made. My clothes is awful. They wont fit right. Everything wears out by the year. Its only for business.gotta keep buying and buying and buying. Vehicles to. The more cars gets stollen and more accidents. The state. Makes more money. Everyone needs a car. Say that 2 million cars gets stollen a year just in texas. Thats 2 million license plates to sell plus inspections. Car insurances rip everyone off.outrageous prices. Its a money making racket. We dont make enough money to keep up with this kind of foolishness. Oh.yeah. the prices of cars to is a mess. They are stealing money from us all. To them we pay very close to sticker price. Knock off for the car wash destination charges a few other things.go on line at maybe car fax.com maybe it will tell you the price you will pay below msrp. Price. Ask sales what will the base price be. Type in the vin number on the website to. If the sales person wont tell you then walk out.if you get 4000.00 off. Sticker price or more. You will definately have a good deal.also get all rebates of everything. If you are buying a truck or van go to the fleet dept. Get a better deal. A lot of dealerships is crooks. I have been ripped off a lot myself. Nobody to help me. I learned the hard way.finally i had a friend at work years later to help. Oh. Rember the bombing at pearl harbor. The japans said they did not know the usa was in that certain area at pearl harbor. They bombed us. Now japan is making mega monies off of us here in the usa. In 1984 i bought a toyota pick up. A tacoma. In 1986 i was on my way to do laundry. The thought hit me about history. I thought why didnt i think of history before i bought this truck. After i finished the laundry. I called the salesman and told him i needed a different truck. I told him the history of palm harbor. He wanted to help me but i was in a upside down. Situation. So i went to a ford dealership. I again told the history. The salesman said i owed to much to trade. I told him i wanted a ranger. Stick shift. Plain and simple. I told him i. Will never buy a car from the enemy that did such cowardly evil actions to bomb us at pearl harbor.i left the ford dealer with a new ranger pick up. So now the usa is selling japans toyotas. Like crazy. So japan is only here for the business. Maybe to get all our bennefits to.soc. sec. Etc. What about germany. Hitler. Volkswagons is here to.so where is our own chevy and ford factories back here in the usa. Also. All. Of everything the usa ever made needs to come back home where they belong. Send back everything to china and germany. And anything to everybody else. They need to buy from us everything they need. So our government is stupid. This is why the usa is im such a big fat mess.. And other things to add. Well thats a story for now of a reason for. The homeless and job loss.our government has got no. Excuse of the way they treat us. With just two moves the government could make would bring the usa back to life for joy and happiness.plenty of jobs. People back in homes prices low or salaries up to meet the cost of living. Etc. Well there is hope. We never give. Keep on keeping on moving forward. Love you all . many blessings. God bless america. Thank you. Jan from texas
Congratulations on your new home Bob... I think it was a smart purchase. We have a flimsy fifth wheel... I'd love to get a medium-sized schooly. 👍👍👍👍👍😁
Great video! I have been looking for an ambulance for a few months and the prices are going up. But the reasons you mentioned why you want one are as important as why it might not work for someone. Thanks Bob and good luck. Can’t wait for the tour video.
@@misstbikini They do, but they run through the engine coolant system so only work when the engine is running. Most buyers rip those out and install separate systems.
@@misstbikini there is a regular heating and ac system that only works when the engine is running. Most will eventually add a dry heat source and a small ac.
I looked into one a couple years back but couldn’t find much about conversion, so I chickened out. Maybe I will take another look!!!!! You’re the best!!!
What can one say except, Congratulations! On your new home, looks like a winner for sure. Plus with all the bug money you are making this vehicle can substitute for a Wells Fargo safety deposit Box. Good luck on your new journey!
I looked at retired ambulances during my search, because I volunteered as an EMT for a few years, so I'm familiar with the platform and layout. At the time I did not consider the advantages that a 4x4 ambulance might offer. Nice find, though with no direct access between the living area and the cab, it might be difficult to get underway if you need to leave in a hurry.

Air suspension will fix that issue
Surely should be some kind of special shocks to prevent the bouncing. Maybe stableizer bars if posdible.

Knock off for the car wash destination charges a few other things.go on line at maybe car fax.com maybe it will tell you the price you will pay below msrp. Price. Ask sales what will the base price be. Type in the vin number on the website to. If the sales person wont tell you then walk out.if you get 4000.00 off. Sticker price or more. You will definately have a good deal.also get all rebates of everything. If you are buying a truck or van go to the fleet dept. Get a better deal. A lot of dealerships is crooks. I have been ripped off a lot myself. Nobody to help me. I learned the hard way.finally i had a friend at work years later to help. Oh. Rember the bombing at pearl harbor. The japans said they did not know the usa was in that certain area at pearl harbor. They bombed us. Now japan is making mega monies off of us here in the usa. In 1984 i bought a toyota pick up. A tacoma. In 1986 i was on my way to do laundry. The thought hit me about history. I thought why didnt i think of history before i bought this truck. After i finished the laundry. I called the salesman and told him i needed a different truck. I told him the history of palm harbor. He wanted to help me but i was in a upside down. Situation. So i went to a ford dealership. I again told the history. The salesman said i owed to much to trade. I told him i wanted a ranger. Stick shift. Plain and simple. I told him i. Will never buy a car from the enemy that did such cowardly evil actions to bomb us at pearl harbor.i left the ford dealer with a new ranger pick up. So now the usa is selling japans toyotas. Like crazy. So japan is only here for the business. Maybe to get all our bennefits to.soc. sec. Etc. What about germany. Hitler. Volkswagons is here to.so where is our own chevy and ford factories back here in the usa. Also. All. Of everything the usa ever made needs to come back home where they belong. Send back everything to china and germany. And anything to everybody else. They need to buy from us everything they need. So our government is stupid. This is why the usa is im such a big fat mess.. And other things to add. Well thats a story for now of a reason for. The homeless and job loss.our government has got no. Excuse of the way they treat us. With just two moves the government could make would bring the usa back to life for joy and happiness.plenty of jobs. People back in homes prices low or salaries up to meet the cost of living. Etc. Well there is hope. We never give. Keep on keeping on moving forward. Love you all . many blessings. God bless america. Thank you. Jan from texas
Never a bad video with Bob.
Love you Bob and what you stand for.
You've helped so many people.
Ambulance ... that is good thinking.
Looking for an ambulance myself so this video and its wealth of information is exceptionally timely. Thanks, Bob.
I'm excited for the tour
Yes! The quality is unmatched. I used to have an ambulance, so I know. The only drawback I had with it was the price of the fuel. It's greedy.
You are very deserving of a new home, and you represent our community so well. She's a beauty!!!
Congratulations on your new home Bob... I think it was a smart purchase. We have a flimsy fifth wheel... I'd love to get a medium-sized schooly. 👍👍👍👍👍😁
You have changed lives! Blessings 💜
Looking forward to the tour of the interior space.
Congratulations Bob you my dear deserve it.. Enjoy and much love....
Wow Bob! Congratulations 🎉I’m so happy for you, and Cody! You deserve a great vehicle to travel, and live in!♥️👋
I was hoping for a walk thru tour. I just spotted the tour video, I spoke to soon, thank you
Great Video Bob !!! I need a bigger van for sure....
You are a great Man Bob with an even greater message. Keep it going. All the best from Down Under.
Congratulations on your new home! Understand your choice. Thank you for sharing those great tips.
Bob you are naturally evolving. Congratulations.
Great video! I have been looking for an ambulance for a few months and the prices are going up. But the reasons you mentioned why you want one are as important as why it might not work for someone. Thanks Bob and good luck. Can’t wait for the tour video.
Do they have air conditioning or heat in the home part?
@@misstbikini They do, but they run through the engine coolant system so only work when the engine is running. Most buyers rip those out and install separate systems.
@@misstbikini there is a regular heating and ac system that only works when the engine is running. Most will eventually add a dry heat source and a small ac.
This was a class like school thank you
I looked into one a couple years back but couldn’t find much about conversion, so I chickened out. Maybe I will take another look!!!!! You’re the best!!!
You are an amazing man and I applaud you for being so generous with your information
What can one say except, Congratulations! On your new home, looks like a winner for sure. Plus with all the bug money you are making this vehicle can substitute for a Wells Fargo safety deposit Box. Good luck on your new journey!
Excellent Video, really enjoyed you going over your thought process and detailed analysis.
That looks like a perfect rig. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the interior.
That’s wonderful Bob! Good for you!
I looked at retired ambulances during my search, because I volunteered as an EMT for a few years, so I'm familiar with the platform and layout. At the time I did not consider the advantages that a 4x4 ambulance might offer. Nice find, though with no direct access between the living area and the cab, it might be difficult to get underway if you need to leave in a hurry.
I'm so happy that you are happy! Just perfect for you!
