We bought this ambulance at an auction on Ebay for $9,100, we took 7 months to convert this ambulance into our tiny house on wheels. We documented the whole process so make sure to watch those videos to see how it went: the highs and the lows of converting a vehicle into a camper! We are so proud of the final results of our ambulance. We wanted to keep a clean, minimal aesthetic inside to make the space look bigger! We love how simple and elegant it looks inside but also feels cozy and homie. If you love vanlife vlogs, van builds vlogs or roadtrips across the USA, Canada and Mexico. This channel is for you! We are documenting our travels in our ambulance camper, so follow along our journey!

Thank you for the list, did not notice the rug.
I really love the whole ambulance, but we’re kidding ourselves if we didn’t say Byron was our favorite part.😂
Hahaha best comment to Colton! You can't get any better than this dog. 😍
Byron is precious. Golden retrievers are the best!
Absolutely love the details! Extra extension cord in the outside compartment, Byron’s spot inside, the shoe storage, laundry area, etc. As always, incredible build!
Thank you Kyle! We really tried to think about all the details after forgetting some from our tiny house build haha!
That is a really awesome build you all did a awesome job on that I love it😊😊😊
You two did such an awesome job converting this ambulance. It's great to see you on the road reaping the benefits of all your hard work!
Thank you so much! It was a labor of love for sure but we are so happy we are finally able to travel in it!! ☺️
My favorite part is the electric system! Coooooolll
Hahaha that's micah's favorite part too 😉
Beautiful set up ! Subbed
Thanks for the support!
I love your rig - and your dog. It's so adorable how his head keeps popping up everywhere.
Thank you!! Byron is the best 😍 always with us on all of our adventures!
HOMEBULANCE
my fav thing about your rig is the fact you have 10lbs of maple syrup on board. miss it so much.
Same!!! Can't go without my maple syrup 😂
Great build & some brilliant ideas
Stay safe on your travels
That door to cab is ace~ u can move if ur being hassled or in an emergency. ☆☆☆☆
Thank you!
Great job! Very creative ideas in the build. Have fun
Thank you so much! Your comment means a lot to us :)
It looks AMAZING!!! I'm so impressed by how you thought of all the little details. I think one of my favourite things is Byron's dog house. But it's all very cool. haha
Thank you Becky!! Byron's dog house is also my favorite! I just love that he has his own little space to relax!
the coolest friends I have!!!! so proud of you guys!
Awww thank you 🤍 we are so glad we met you guys! First van life friends!!
This is a GREAT build! I was showing my mum what people can do with an Ambo and she was floored! Thank you for this vid and the list! Yes I will be subscribing and following!
Thank you so much Vanessa 🙌🏼 we love hearing comments like this! Thanks for subscribing and following along ☺️
Awesome video, guys! I followed your build and I'm glad you guys are out enjoying it now! Just an FYI, the 3-ton jack stand you have is undersized. The 3-ton rating is for a pair of stands, so each is only 1.5 tons. They may work okay and not collapse if you are not getting under the lifted section, but I wouldn't trust anyone's life/limb to them.🙂
Good to know! But we’re never lifting the entire vehicle. Also we use those in addition to an 8 ton bottle jack. All three points of contact with the wheels chocked should be more than enough.
Indoor shower, a challenging installation but looks like you guys can handle it 😉
I love that you made it your own. I’ve been thinking about doing an ambulance build myself and most of what I have seen follow a very similar layout. Your build doesn’t follow how most designs are laid out and I find that very cool!
Thank you! We really appreciate it 😊 it's hard choosing a layout, we went back and forth many times but we are so happy with the final results!
I'm decently going to take some inspiration from your interior build
That's awesome! 🙌🏼 we have loved our layout so much
Although there is no indoor shower, the build is awesome!
,
Thank you!!!
Nice build!! A few photos or some kind of artwork/craft on the walls would add a pop of color and some personality.❤😊
Yess! We eventually did put up some postcards we got from our travels, but I agree that it needs a pop of color and personality! :)
Love your build! We too did a dirty laundry chute which is a huge help keeping the space uncluttered. One of the things I put on our wall is a corkboard-it allowed me to hang pictures, postcards and other items from our travels and gives it a homey feel!
The laundry chute is one of our favorite features! We actually ended up adding a cork board as well for the same reason! Great minds think alike👍
Well done, you two. Great setup for you both and Byron.
Thank you! We've really been enjoying living in our ambulance! :)
Sorry, forgot about my prior comments.
Great job!
Haha! We would have loved to build an indoor shower but due to budget and time we opted for an outdoor one!
Love it!!
Thank you Thomas-Xavier!! 😊
Looks awesome ❤happy trails
Love all your videos the beautiful spots you choose and of course Byron♥️
Thank you! Yes this spot was so beautiful in Breckenridge looking out at the mountains! 🙌🏼
Do you know what your final price for everything was? Iv been wanting to do this forever! I loved the video!
This design is awesome, looking forward to watch the build vids 🚑💨
Thank you! It's been such a fun project! 😊
Obviously a lot of sweat equity in this project. Congratulations! Love your space but may I suggest you adding a picture of your parents on the wall! 😂🤣❤
Hahahaha maybe we should 😂
I guess if you put up one you'[[ have to include us too!!@@stephandmicah
Wow we love the whole thing. Well done guys looks like you worked super super hard ! Amazing 😊
Thank you so much! It was a lot of work but well worth it 😊
I have LOVED watching this home on wheels come together. You guys are awesome; what an incredible job!
I think a long viney plant (like a pothos) strung up to the ceiling or a wall (perhaps with command hooks?) would add a homey touch, but that may just be my love for plants speaking 🤔
Also, I absolutely died at Micah's old man groan while reaching for the camera, after he'd just pulled his entire body weight up onto the roof no problem 😂
Thank you Katie! I would love to add more plants in here, I just need to find a long pothos haha
I didn't even notice Micah's old man groan 😂 now I have to watch it back to see hahaha so funny!
Great build
Thank you!! We love it 😊
Gorgeous build! Stunning! enjoy!
Thank you so much! We've loved living in the ambulance ☺️
Hi Steph and Micah. I just found (this past week) your channel, Love it. I have to be one of your newest subscribers. I too have a 2003 Ford 7.3 Diesel which I am in the process of converting. What is really interesting is that my rig has basically the same outside color scheme ( two large yellow stripes and white, I love it.) as yours does. I really love that roof rack you have above the cab. I thought in one of your videos that you said (I think) that you would go into greater detail about the roof rack but I haven't come across it yet. If so, can you tell me which video that would be in and if not, can you tell me where you got it, brand name and maybe what you paid for it. I love what you two have done with yours and am in the process of binging on your videos. Love your videos, be safe and have fun. I think one of the best things I like about your videos is how down to earth you both are. You both come across as very personable, easy going and further that you don't come across as uppity or condescending. I wish you two the best.
Hey there! That's so fun that you're starting your build! Thank you for your support!
As for the roof rack, we built it ourselves out of unistrut. I believe its a part of our electrical build video here -> th-cam.com/video/dGD62N6SvYw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6sIdQmVpDl-N4RvN . All in all it probably only cost us about $300
If you ever need advice, feel free to reach out via instagram or facebook @stephandmicah. We'd be happy to help!
Where are fixtures for the shower area?
Hey! The shower area is only an outdoor shower. The “fixtures” are in the back
Lovely,looks pretty perfect to me 👋🦘👋🦘👋
Thank you!! We love it :)
What kind of fuel milage do you get in the ambulance. We move cargo trailers and have been looking at this as a way to save on hotels and such.
We get roughly 11 mpg in the 7.3.
This is so cool! Lots of respect for building all of this and being able to live in it as well. Do you ever miss the lack of privacy in the ambulance when you’re sort of locked inside (due to bad weather or whatever)?
Thank you so much! Yes it can be difficult when it rains to be stuck inside but luckily we've been having really good weather so far so it hasn't happened too often! 🙌🏼
quick question what size are those tires?
I believe they are LT 225/75 R16
It looks amazing y’all!!! Seriously! I’m so impressed!!
My favorite thing is that you have “at least 10 pounds of maple syrup in there” 🇨🇦 😂😂😂
Thank you Christina! As a Canadian I gotta have my maple syrup 😂🙌🏼
love the build, me and my wife our talking about build out a ambo soon and we ran from oklahoma so we our thinking about putting in a mine split air conditioner, you guys should check it out, with the amount of power we our looking at putting inside we can run on low for like 2 days without any sun
Thank you Joshua! We would love to have AC especially with the recent heat waves we experienced! We would probably have to up our amount of power but would be worth it 🙌🏼
Very nice ambulance. Do u have a heater?
Thank you! We do, it's a diesel heater.
2 questions:
Do you have levelers on the ambulance?
Do you have any HVAC?
Love the video!
Thank you! We don't have a leveler, we try to find a flat spot but if not we use our recovery track to level out! We want to get leveling block though.
We don't have AC! We would love to upgrade to have one because it gets very hot sometimes!
This is awesome! what kind of MPG do you get? is it hard to go stealth in an ambulance?
We get about 11-12 mpg. And kind of, it doesn’t exactly look like a normal ambulance from outside. Although we’ve never gotten the knock.
@@stephandmicah glad to hear it!
Hi whatcha up to hope all is well sending up prayers 4 healing and unspoken and 4 everyone and bless great healthy peaceful safe journeys travels and happy day everyday and happy camping in the name of the Creator God and Yeshua/ Jesus and the Holy Ghost Amen much honor and respect keep walking tall yall always and woohoo knew yall could do it wow very nice yall did great job on the build also there will always be upgrades just keep on keeping on pushing forward one step at a time and keep praying and keep walking tall cus yall truly did great job on it also if yall like yall can paint it with raptor bed spray bed liner and it comes in different colors however the bed liner as paint will allow it to last long time without the worry of scratches however it has to be more than one coat maybe 3 to 4 coats would be best however prep prep wet sand and or sand then rinse really good then spray it but that's just a idea also truly like the locking water fill and woohoo love yall's build yall did awesome also now all yall can say now is zoom zoom honk honk beep beep here comes the bulance to the cmp grounds lol zoom zoom

👍👍💪🙂👍👍
Thank you!! Yess we would love to paint the outside one day! Micah really wants to do bed liner because it's resistant 😊
How about an indoor shower? 😊
We have a whole series on our build and there's a part where we explained why we chose not to have an indoor shower! We initially wanted to but with our timeframe and space we ended up not doing it. It has plumbing for an indoor shower so can be added on in the future :)
Pour vrai, vous me donnez goût au minimalisme, mais who am I kidding, mon 5 1/2 est pas assez grand pour moi hahah 😅 je vais continuer à vous regarder et à rêver! Allez-vous faire une vidéo Q&A? J’ai pleins de questions! 😁
Merci Claudia!! Haha ouais c'est un mode de vie pas pour tout le monde! Oui on veut faire un Q&A bientôt! Je vais demander sur instagram pour des questions tu vas pouvoir les poster là!
First video here, did you keep the original wiring? I have a 2003 Horton , not Shure about the set up
Hi George! We went through all the original wiring one by one and took out anything we didn't need. It was very time consuming but the best option for us as it takes a lot of space in the ambulance! If you watch our first couple videos of our ambulance build you'll see a little bit of that process! :) Good luck!
@@stephandmicah thank you for the reply, maybe one day they will come up with a easy way to use what's there, I could never do that
Where is a good place to buy an ambulance I been looking but can't find any good prices
We were lucky and won an auction on Ebay and it came directly from the fire department, definitely look on Ebay! Check out our first video of our conversion series and you'll see how we got it! :)
Do you have a sister? You could add a picture of her on your walls to make it more hommie
Hahaha maybe my sister should come travel with us and then we'll put her picture up!
