    It’s a great idea. In the back packing world, we call that a shake down. It’s good to see what you can and can’t live without 😊👍🏼
    I’m getting my ambo soon! 🎉

    I work at an Ambulance service, and totally agree that an ambulance is the BEST vehicle for camping/off grid traveling.

    Ambulance modules are built extremely well. They can last decades without any problems. Aluminum and stainless steel don't rust, and that is why when the truck that hauls it is finished and rusted out, people use them again on a new truck.

    I love my 1991 Ford e350 RVambulance with her 7.3 L IDI engine! Would prefer the truck cab for engine access, but my Blossom is sweet! Weve taken one trip from KY to AZ and back with plans to go back in the spring. Interior will be customized after that experience

    Phil take a gander at "DIY Expedition Vehicle" Camper build by the Casey's over in Paso Robles, CA. They fabbed the aluminum ,frame with their plasma table, added DIY aluminum insulated panels and wrapped truck and all in vinyl. Impressive and going on right now.

  • @noahmcdaniel4920
    @noahmcdaniel4920 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You should checkout “rescue ambulances” if you haven’t already. National parks are often selling old ones sometimes with hardly any miles. They’re already built to be capable off road.

      Our ExpeditionVehicle:

      Over two decades full-time live-aboard.
      We rarely get better than 14mpg.

      We rarely travel more than a hundred miles a month.
      Fuel is a very minor part of the budget.

Options exist in all that we do and it helps your legs to become strong while you cook or do other standing chores.
