I am really sorry to say that, but the video would have been much nicer without the music. At some times the music is way too loud so that I could not understand what u were saying. (Not a native speaker). The video itself is really cool. U did a great job with the van. I really like it a lot! 😊
Hi Jana,I do apologies for this. It was early days learning how to edit. Flo has changed a lot since this too so a new video is on its way with a lot more control on the volume.
Thanks again for your feedback.
Great van tour, Florence looks lovely inside!
Thank you :)
Lookkng forward to meeting Flo and Sophie! Catch up soon
Finally! You post something, its been a year!!!
Great job on your tiny home! I'm always happy to see another Omnia oven in the world, lol.
Thanks very much. We love our Omnia, we cook most things in it these days 😊. We put our recipes on vanlifeeats.com
Great conversion. Just subscribed
Lovely van, well done. I love mine too.
Good vid and editing
Thanks very much 😊
Great tour!!!
Thanks very much 😊
Amazing 👏
Thanks Mo :)
Good
Thank you 😊
Buen vídeo 👌 gracias.
Thank you very much.
Great video guys....lovely to see fantastic flo. My vans the same size....loads of space. 👍
Thanks! Yeah it's good to get the extra space.
You are very brave converting an ex emergency front line ambulance to a Campervan, I work for the ambulance service and know how they are driven, (Very hard from second 1) the service squeeze every bit of life out of them b4 they are de- commissioned. I really hope you have got a good one that’s not got over 300000 miles on the clock!! If it has I hope you have a health bank balance cos you are going to need it repairing it in the future, I wish you the best of luck & keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞
Yep, she's a goodun. The mechanic who worked on her said we lucked out on her. She's clean and really well looked after. She's at 220k never missed a beat as they say.
Wow! That’s a rare one at that mileage, like I said ours have at least 300000k on them, our Mercedes sprinters have 500000k and still on frontline duties.i hope you both have lots of trouble free adventures in her, I will look out for you when I’m on my adventures, I have am ex patient transport ambulance that I have converted myself as it was never on emergency duties. All NHS ambulances get a FULL service & safety check every 6 weeks, I have to say they are really looked after when in service.
@@tonyleech7211 Thanks bud. I wish you the best on your adventures too. Say hi if you see us around especially when we are doing the Vanlife Eats events etc. Thanks again for watching. We learnt a lot about making TH-cam videos with this 😂
Hi just got one myself to do a small conversion. I can't get the axillary batteries to charge it keeps said check axillary battery relay .Don't know were it is do you know ???? Kind regards Richard Newman ❤
Do you still have the lights and sirens in the ambulance camper Van?
Hi guys nice job 👍 I have a 1996 licence too n only allows me to drive upto l35 3.5 Tonne vehicle I see you had the same issue as yours is the l4 4 Tonne how much did it cost & are there any other requirements/what’s involved 🙏
Thanks Jason. Yeah its a total pain but I had to do a HGV theory test followed by a series of HGV lessons in a MWB 5T van (easy to drive) and then finally a long drive with an examiner. I used these guys to help me do eptraining.co.uk. Good luck! Its a useful upgrade regardless.
I've a quick question about the genesis system if you don't mind? Does your control panel on the dash stay illuminated all the time? Only picked my ambulance up today, but can't seem to turn the bloody thing off!
Hi just wondering did you have to add any more insulation. Thanks 😊
Hi guys I have a question for you, how much is the cost of an ambulance like yours?
Nice one mark! When we going for a beer? 😉
Thanks. Would be good to have a catch-up Asap!
nice van guys, i'm looking at routers for wifi in my van, in the video you say you have a Huawei 4g router but you link to a Kuma booster with router on Amazon, wondering what you do actually use, can you advise please?
Hey, yeah the kuma kit comes with a Huawei router. The kit linked is exactly the one we use. It's brilliant!
Very nice video, this is L4H3 right? Am just asking because Ducato don’t do H4 as I am wanting to buy one and can only find H3
Hi, yes you are right. L4H3. Perfect size for us :)
@@FlorenceTheAmbulance that’s awesome, great to hear that 😊
Why do. I feel I saw your van in West Sussex the other day?
A few weeks back I was over that way
Hey there! great video thanks for making it! I am in the process of becoming a vanlifer myself. I am quite at the beginning of the road so I am trying to decide on what van to buy. I have a couple of questions for you: 1. Would you recommend that ambulance? I noticed they are quite affordable so it's very tempting! also what's the actual interior width? you mentioned 6 foot for the bed, is that the max? 2. are you travelling through Europe as well? if you do, wouldn't you prefer a left hand side steering wheel? Thanks again!
Hey, thanks for watching. Our ambulance has been great! Well looked after and good insulation (although we added more) and it is full of goodies like the eberspacher heater. However there are a lot of complications with ambulances. The tax class has been tricky to change, the body type has had to change and has again proved difficult with the DVLA. Also they are over 3.5T so you may need to upgrade your license as I did.
I'd recommend an ambulance if you have time and patience to go through the mods. And yeah 6ft length maximum. Good luck! Message if we can help.
@@vanlifeeats Thank you so much for taking your time to answer me. I will definitely bug you more if I end up going this route!
@@vighiosif best of luck with choosing.
I am on my way buying one.. I have U.K. license B category. Do I have to upgrade my license? It says I am ok to drive this one.
Yeah mines c1 license because of the extra weight. Check the V5 and see what it weighs.
You can possibly down plate it but mine was still quite heavy when built so I had to upgrade my license.
Did you get it?
Message us on Instagram @vanlife_eats
H4 doesnt exist, Its a L4H3 which is 2.6m high so you will fit under 95% of bridges...
You are right. It's H3. The height is 2.7m high. There's a few bridges near where we are based that we can't get under.
What extra licence did you have to get?
I had to take the C1 theory and practical. Cost about £700 in total.
@@vanlifeeats is this because the van is over 3.5 ton?
@@eduardosapples1997 Yes, she is 4 ton
@@vanlifeeats she sore on juice?
You will probably lose half a ton if you get rid of the ramp
It would make a difference I agree. One day when we can brave it we will take it out 😊
You have a lovely van conversion. I like the yellow colors, layout, and decor, very nicely done.
I would have left the bathroom in favor of the 2nd bed though. Especially if you take kids with you. They get messy and need potty time.
A couple of video tips:
1. Turn music off. Silence is golden. My ears are hurting from trying to hear your voices over the loud music. We want to focus on what you are saying. Music is distracting, a very personal choice, and annoying in a demo or tour. There is an assumption that we will like your choice of music as well.
2. Show the van not the person. Pan the camera on the van details being talked about for 85% of time, not on the person speaking. We are here to see the van details, and not a person speaking. We can hear the words just fine.
For the female half of this tour:
This is your van too. Why do you defer all technical details to your male partner? This happens all too often in van tours and in life. Women who came before you, fought hard for your freedom to choose your destiny - to smoke, to drink, to make love outside marriage without being a social outcast, to have a child out of wedlock without being an outcast, for the right to vote, the right to equal pay, the right to own a car and drive it, for the right not to have a coathanger back alley abortion, the right to not be raped and be told its your fault, the right not to be considered the property of your husband, the right to work! And these freedoms come with responsibility. Such as knowing your own vehicle, to stop depending on male authority to guide you through life. If you don't exercise your freedoms and responsibilities to your gender and to yourself, they will atrophy and be eroded. Assert yourself by learning about technical things and speaking about them on camera. Redo this tour and take over all the technical stuff just to see if you are equal to the task. You should know how it works, and be able to put in a whole system by yourself - that level of expertise. You have a brain just like him. Use it. Your gender differences do not prevent you from using your brain. Ultimately, it is an attitude. Either you empower yourself and gain the respect of everyone including your partner, or you give away your power for lack of faith in yourself. That is just sad to see. Women are very capable. But we cannot ask for equal pay if we are not equal to the task. This is no reflection on men. I like men. But I also will not be a liability to myself and go through life being afraid to tackle tough things, and palm it off on a man.
Hi, thank you so much for constructive feedback. We will take some of your points on in the future. While I appreciate your feedback about female rights and independence I would just like to you know that Mark fully appreciates me as do others around me, I am certainly not lacking there. I work as a Therapeutic Radiographer within a busy department within the NHS, a job that required a 3 year degree and has resulted in me having a BSc with honours in this area so please don't think I can not fumble my way through technical systems and machines, I work with them daily. The reason I have chosen not to speak about them in the video is because that is an area Mark worked very hard on and he is proud of it, it is also an area I have little interest in so choose not to speak about it. We will take note of the comments about the music for future videos. Thank you for taking the time to watch our video and comment on it. Take care
@@vanlifeeats Fair enough. Its your choice of course. Its just that EVERY van life video I see, the women never speak or know anything about the systems which is very disheartening. Glad you are doing well in your career! Wish you the best!
Background music is overpowering the speech, I struggled to hear what the lady was saying.
The background music is so dame anoying. !!!
The van has changed a lot recently so we will get a new tour out soon. We've learnt a lot on the editing side so no more loud music, promise.
ARGHHHHHHHHHH THE MUSIC , please get rid of the annoying music
Ambulance use tetra radio trunked systems not cb’s😒
What he said 😂. Thanks for the info. I traced the aerial leads down and connected it to the router. Perfect signal
