I am blown away by the thoughtful engineering that went into this build, it made me realize that if you choose van life, one should consider all the possibilities that come with decision. Thank you for sharing.
I have never seen anything like this-even from coach companies. It’s not that you have everything; you seem to have the most efficient version of everything. Nothing is shoehorned in; everything is in its place, and Goldilocks (it’s just right). The design and engineering are nuts. It looks coach-built. I’m sorry, it's BETTER than coach-built. I can’t imagine you sat down and drew this up; the first crack, you got it right. Perfect. Is there anything you would change? Are you a yacht builder by trade? It's an astonishing build. 🤯 Total comfort and economy (space, not $ 😆).Thank you for sharing. Wow. 👀 🙌
Thanks Danny, I really appreciate your kind words. You are correct I did not come up with this layout the first time. I actually used large cardboard boxes to build walls and make a mockup of what the interior space would be. Some days I would just go and sit in the space and feel it. Then I would move a wall or seat to a better spot. It took a month of design planning to make every thing fit. I am not a builder by trade but to be honest all my life experiences working and building things in my spare time culminated in this build. I am a metal artist and sculptor so those fabrication skills came in to play on this. This was my first build and there is LOTS that I would change. I made so many mistakes and learned so many lessons. My wife and I are going to take those lessons and apply them to a bigger platform like a School bus. I would have bought a newer more modern ambulance with a more powerful engine. The biggest pain in this living situation is the bed/table area. It sucks to have to take several steps to make your bed when you come home from a 12 hour shift and all you want to do is crash. The radiant floor heat definitely needs improvement. I need more loops and more thermal mass over the loops to transmit the heat into the cab. I would do a roof raise as I can't stand up in this rig. I would install a bigger sink as doing dishes in a shallow bar sink is not the easiest. and much more Lots of lessons but a very comfortable, livable and enjoyable space.
What an impressive build. I thought this was by far the safest and best put together tiny home on wheels I have seen. You surpass everyone else kiddo. Great job!👏👏👏
That is crazy cool, I've got a 12 volt fan, 5000 btu window air, 2000 watt gen, a little buddy heater in my pop up truck camper. I keep things real simple. I usually never go out in real cold weather. I have solar and altinator charging for fridge and charging my emtb batteries. Super simple, but it works for me. Yours is an engineering marvel, nice job. Oh, my water heater is a gallon sauce pan and a Coleman stove. Shower is a 42 inch inflatable kiddy pool and toilet is a 5 gallon bucket, trash bag, and snap on seat lid and a cup.
Holy 1.21 gigawatts! That electrical system is impressive…so is the whole camper. You’ve done it the way I like doing things. If you’re gonna do it, do it right! I’m very impressed. I would change a couple things interior wise, but otherwise the whole setup is perfect! Excellent work!
Wow… design, function, color palette - it’s perfect! I could live very comfortably, long term in this👍🏻👍🏻🙋🏻♀️. Love it down to the last detail, no frills but classic! I’m a wife and mom of 4, living in a big city, driving my 911 - that I’d trade in for this in a heartbeat! Thanks so much for sharing👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻
Wow! Amazingly designed. I would consider this if it wasn’t because I work remotely and need a dedicated spot for my two computers and monitor. The converting of the table to bed everyday wouldn’t work but other than that I am jealous.
Thanks for the tour and explanation of all the systems you employed to create your project. Moving up to a bus conversion next I see , with the experience you’ve gained from this build will be a larger challenge to create something functional and beautiful. I’m finishing up a 27’ Komfort tt project. Had 1280 watts of solar running through a Victron system almost identical to yours but recently added a mini split so opened up some roof space for 1000 more watts . Swapping out the absorption fridge cooling system for a jc refrigerant 12v system next. Using 2 300 amp hr Enduro Power lifepo batteries for storage. Seems enough so far but it’s evolving. Remodeling the inside now used Palisade Tiles to build shower. Custom shower pan with linear full width drain at base of one wall allows for single sloped floor plain. Used 2 bys 10” on center with 2 layers of 3/4 ply over covered with flex seal for water proofing. Eliminating the need for a mortar bed. The tiles are like vinyl plank flooring but all pvc so much lighter. Just some of my experience to consider.
word of caution, if they ambulance shell is aluminum make sure that coating specifically states it will work with aluminum. aluminum naturally repels most paints and coatings.it needs special processes to the surface of the aluminum and special paint/coatings. also vinyl wraps wont last more than a year or so before they just bubble off.
keep a manual Syphon pump for Fuel with extra felxable pipe and a electric (battery AA) pump with extra pipe for water., Tire Chains V type with grippers. and a midium sized shovel.
Quite impressive! It looks like you thought of everything you need to be comfortable, no matter the weather. Nice looking, too. I can't imagine what it all cost but you did a beautiful job.
Es una verdadera locura de sistemas... Claramente explicado y desde la carcasa de seguridad para voladuras propia de este tipo de vehículo, sistemas de soporte independientes, aparcamiento y cubiertos para las 4 estaciones... está fenomenal! Lo peor sería que... se olvide ponerle combustible al motor!😂😂😂 Super interesante, gracias por compartir.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽☑️☑️☑️
Well looks like you picked the best system for this type of conversion. The water heating is great. So there is a Tesla S sitting somewhere with no batteries, nice.
💥Wow‼️💥You haven’t sold it yet⁉️Didn’t you put out a video almost a year ago. I thought for sure this would’ve sold quickly. The amount of work and detail is absolutely superb. It will definitely be a solid deal for anyone lucky enough to get it.
Hello, yes we sold it. There was so much interest in it that I collected all of the footage and information about this ambulance and edited together a new video for this channel. This channel will focus on Boondocking , RV camping conversions and off grid living.
Nice , maybe buy a milkcrate or some type of box to store all those fluid containers in, so you can just lift out the milk crate to grab a bottle of brake fluid rather than having them loose and moving about as you drive but otherwise nice job especially if you can master the operations of all the systems with out grabbing a manual.
Should’ve simplified the ambulance button thingy instead of removing it 😅 like Alexafied it 😂 so you can still play with it and change the colors of the lights like white and purple or something cuz the lights and sound system is cool 😂
You've created a gold-standard build. I'm in love. Seriously, I've been waffling between a cargo trailer and an ambulance. I prefer the simplicity of a single vehicle. Any recommendations on how to find an ambulance suitable for conversion? Thanks!
I would just watch government auctions , facebook marketplace and places like that. Research and lean about different motor and transmission combinations. Don’t rush, vehicle selection is the one decision that you only get to make once. I wish I had bought a newer ambulance with a more powerful motor. My wife and I are about to build out a school bus and we won’t make the same mistake twice.
What a beautiful job you did on that conversion. be proud of yourself! I’m sure it’s a blessing to whoever you sold it to. May I ask what you sold it for? I’m new to this world trying to find conversion van that is a second home, but don’t wanna pay $100,000 for it! If you come across anything, thank you for sending it my way do you do conversions as part of your work?
Smart idea to upgrade the suspension I bought a dodge handy bus and my brother bought a bunch of drywall sheets and asked me to haul them from the auction site to his house I did and found out the hard way that to get a better ride for the passengers instead of the heavy duty springs the 300 + should have they were less than the 200 +broke all my rear leafs cost me over 8 hundred dollars to replace them after having bought a few old handy buses I needed the extended body's and the raised roof and back in the 90ties dodge van's were all you could get that way also had a chinook campervan also on the dodge frame found out why every manufacturer went to Ford almost all ripped the front rear shackles off had to get them beefed up and rewelded Ford has a frame dodge is a light steel unibody frame most manufactur started going to Ford in the 90ties but only the camper van and cube van and they were triple the price of a used dodge of the same age
I subscribed halfway through your first video knowing good things were in store. You did not disappoint! Such a well thought out and executed build! What you’ve done here is in line with my own design philosophies re thermals and power- and an ambo is an excellent platform for it, if you can deal with the limited space. I only wish I had known as much as I do now when I first started building my bus a couple of years ago. I started out knowing nothing, with a $100 craftsman tool set lol. Thousands of dollars and many new tools later, getting closer to “done”. It’s been a journey to say the least... It’s probably not worth tearing things up to add the radiant heat lines now. Live and learn. Next build will have all of this. Do you have a list of components posted anywhere or would you be willing to send one over? I’d super appreciate it. Looking forward to more videos and your next build!
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate you subscribing, you are very welcome to reach out for any questions you have. Yes I learned so much during my first build as well. I will try a put a page together with a list of all the components that I used in the build with links. That's a good idea
i love the infloor heating. I wonder how many BTU's you are scavenging off the furnace? You could do an ambient temp differential if you can turn off the fluid flow
Thanks. I really don’t know how many btu s. To be honest I made several mistakes that I will correct in my next build. 1. I need more loops and closer together in the floor. 2. I need 4” of xps. 2” is just not enough so next time I’ll do a roof raise. 3. I need to add more thermal mass to the floor so I will install 3/4 subfloor vs 3/8th and I’ll run a denser tile type of surface.
@@HanginwiththeHurstsI’ve been researching different types of heaters with mass for inspiration: masonry heaters, rocket mass stoves, sand batteries, etc. Trying to come up with a mass solution that pairs well with floor coolant loops but doesn’t get too crazy with weight. I haven’t decided on a solution, but a roof raise and 4” floor insulation for sure. I have 2” in the floor now and it’s my biggest regret besides no radiant floor heating. Will be cool to see what you come up with.
Great Build I'm just starting mine. Where did you source the side windows and how did they do in the cold. I'm All gutted and partially wired and doing floor now. I'm considering an electric radiant floor w/diesel heat. But too many windows can affect it all and I want windows so need to be good ones.
Did you only learn the exact primary structure (2x2 columns) upon inspection during demo, or did you have some other source. I've been wondering how to know the primary structure that may be hidden in various ambulances.
That’s a wonderful idea and I have thought about doing something like that. My only concern is it would need to be remotely so I don’t know how effective/ helpful I could be via zoom calls and FaceTime. If a person had the skills but just wanted guidance, I could help in that arena
Great design, implementation and gear selection. Also, thanks for the detail in the walkthrough, very informative and helpful. Thank you for this and very nice work.
@HanginwiththeHursts that's cool. The build was well thought-out, so I'm not surprised to hear you calibrated the lights thoughtfully. Some lights one sees on the road are so bright it seems the DOT doesn't really regulate them at all.
What is your background that enables you to put all of this together? Not for your average person. If you were to create some sort of a Instruction Manual for sale, many people might buy it.
First of all, thank you for the kind words. I do not have a technical background, I am a metal sculpture and an artist I did months and months of research learning the solar and the radiant heat side of this project and spent the better part of two years, finishing it. I guess what got me through was the belief that I could eventually figure out if I work hard enough and research enough. I made a lot of mistakes and I’ll post a video about those mistakes but I think it was a pretty good attempt. I think a lot of people don’t try a project like this because they’re scared they’re gonna fail and they’re scared of the unknown. I guess I just put my head down and press on and believe that one day I can solve the problems in front of me. So maybe it’s just blind ignorance.
I’ve considered a Patreon account where someone could subscribe and we could work through problems together. Kind of like a subscription service where through Zoom calls and phone calls throughout the month. I could help steer and direct someone in their own project. It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s a start. What’s your thoughts on this
Who would want to live in a vehicle a ton of people have died in? That would be a nightmare for a Sensitive. Talk about the trauma energy in those walls.
Your ambulance build is phenomenal but I have to say there's something a little eerie about transforming a former ambulance, where people were brought on board to be saved and helped medically during emergencies and obviously there were some that didn't survive, as a means for a home on wheels. I'm just curious about your thoughts on that?
Thank you. My thoughts are that this vehicle was built and in service as a positive force to help save people in need. If you measure out all the people that it impacted during its service my belief is that it’s a huge net positive. Just like life we can’t control the outcome of all events but we can try to be a force of positivity and help others. If you really want to get philosophical about the subject, I feel that most easily inhibited land on earth has had a human or one of its ancestors die in most areas. So we are never far from a place where death has occurred. Death is a natural part of life and we will all be there some day. It doesn’t not concern me at all.

Did you only learn the exact primary structure (2x2 columns) upon inspection during demo, or did you have some other source. I've been wondering how to know the primary structure that may be hidden in various ambulances.
I knew ahead of time that most are made this way. I’m sure others are different.
Cool but creepy 🫣
The motor is a diesel, diesels have turbos on them. Not sure exactly what you have, since Ford has their own motors.
Yes it's a diesel made by international. 7.3 idi
Can anyone hire you as a consultant to oversee an ambulance retrofit?
That’s a wonderful idea and I have thought about doing something like that. My only concern is it would need to be remotely so I don’t know how effective/ helpful I could be via zoom calls and FaceTime. If a person had the skills but just wanted guidance, I could help in that arena

Yes we have sold it to move onto a larger project like a bus. We are currently looking for a Skoolie
What is your background that enables you to put all of this together? Not for your average person. If you were to create some sort of a Instruction Manual for sale, many people might buy it.
First of all, thank you for the kind words. I do
not have a technical background, I am a metal sculpture and an artist I did months and months of research learning the solar and the radiant heat side of this project and spent the better part of two years, finishing it. I guess what got me through was the belief that I could eventually figure out if I work hard enough and research enough. I made a lot of mistakes and I’ll post a video about those mistakes but I think it was a pretty good attempt. I think a lot of people don’t try a project like this because they’re scared they’re gonna fail and they’re scared of the unknown. I guess I just put my head down and press on and believe that one day I can solve the problems in front of me. So maybe it’s just blind ignorance.
I’ve considered a Patreon account where someone could subscribe and we could work through problems together. Kind of like a subscription service where through Zoom calls and phone calls throughout the month. I could help steer and direct someone in their own project. It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s a start. What’s your thoughts on this

@@chrisbarclay7376 👍 . I think they have most classes free on TH-cam for folks to audit them.
Price??
Not available. Sold.
What’s the deal with the fish in the tank in your shirt and the numbers?
The numbers are the periodic symbol and atomic weight of gold. so its a goldfish
Are you selling this rig?
We have already sold it to fund our bus build
Who would want to live in a vehicle a ton of people have died in? That would be a nightmare for a Sensitive. Talk about the trauma energy in those walls.
What is your asking price?
Hi Randy, My wife and I have already sold the Rig to some friends, so we can move onto a BUS BUILD!!
I wonder how many people died in that ambulance?!🤔
Good question…
I wonder how many peoples lives were saved in that ambulance? Do you think it balances out? I like to think it was a force of good.
@HanginwiththeHursts Notice and strange happenings in there?!🤔 lol
Your ambulance build is phenomenal but I have to say there's something a little eerie about transforming a former ambulance, where people were brought on board to be saved and helped medically during emergencies and obviously there were some that didn't survive, as a means for a home on wheels. I'm just curious about your thoughts on that?
Thank you. My thoughts are that this vehicle was built and in service as a positive force to help save people in need. If you measure out all the people that it impacted during its service my belief is that it’s a huge net positive. Just like life we can’t control the outcome of all events but we can try to be a force of positivity and help others.
If you really want to get philosophical about the subject, I feel that most easily inhibited land on earth has had a human or one of its ancestors die in most areas. So we are never far from a place where death has occurred. Death is a natural part of life and we will all be there some day. It doesn’t not concern me at all.
@@HanginwiththeHursts I appreciate your thoughts on this subject. Thank you for responding. 👍👍👍
