Are you trying to say a vented hood isn’t a good idea? Because it still sounds like a good idea. Things like that hood need cleaning and maintenance. That’s just part of life. If you’re too lazy to clean it out once in a while then you’re probably too lazy to build a home on wheels like this in the first place. Or just go without the vent. Clothes and bedding that smell like cheeseburgers might be okay. Let us know.

    The collapsing field tub, the cellular antennas (I've not seen anybody mount that gear before), the emergency equipment on the side (never heard mention before about that requirement eith3er), the circulating water anti-freeze feature, the max propane tank size detail for ferries, the ski equipment storage, the dingy engine storage closet, clever clothes closet, the cozy interior.

    Hey, i have been watching lots of RV's videos, and this is however, so far, one of the best (or the best rather) conversion into an RV...lots of space been utilized technically and, lots of space been left wonderfully...hence, it looks really great amd awesome, feels a cool wide area walking or sitting in...simple loved it

    AMAZING, IMHO, this is the best ambulance/van conversion I have seen. I even like the interior and exterior colors. For my old body, I would have a small ladder to get up into the bed. The only change I would make is to the curtain in front. I like to have a cockpit curtain that you can pull around by the windshield for privacy. That way, you can use the front seats for storing your clothes when you go to bed. It also creates a larger visual interior. The hot tub? Well, that was pure genius!

The control nook/ board is very ingenious too. And the choice of flip down tv up there too. Fantastic little cozy home indeed. Congratulations and safe travels you guys!

I'd almost do that at home just to not have to set up a big, expensive hot tub and run electric and there's nothing expensive to replace. It's even cheaper than an inflatable one, which I can see going really poorly.

    so clever, you guys could literally start a business refitting ambulances!! i'd rather drive an ambulance that a bus, so no commercial drivers licenses necessary. y'all put so much in a small space that I like this better than a van or bus conversion. great job. really though when you guys want to settle you could rent out your camper as an air bnb and start a business. I'm sure once a person experiences the ease of driving it and staying in it for a weekend would rather have one of these than the hard to drive,(for a girl with no experience driving large vehicles) bus or vans or rvs! makes me want one!

  • @Graybeard_
    @Graybeard_ ปีที่แล้ว

    Finally, a conversion that I could live with. I've seen so many awesome conversions of schoolies, box vans, ambulances, etc., but they would not support my lifestyle and take me to where I love to be, the Pacific North West. In the 1980s a buddy and I drove from Northern CA (US) to the Canadian border and back, 3,300 miles on Honda XLs. On the way up we stayed as high as we could in the Sierras and then the Cascades riding mostly U.S. forest service roads, fishing every place we could. On the way back we followed the coast running up a few roads that ran along rivers to chase sea run cutthroats. The reality, though, was that 95% of the roads we were on, this rig would have done fine. I also like to ski in the winter, and this rig looks like it would be awesome to park in a resort parking lot for a few days of skiing. I own my own sawmill, and have been working on a tiny house. This rig has inspired me to look into a GMC Topkick 4500 4X4 as a four season adventure vehicle. I think it would be a fun project.

So many others I have seen look great but are going to fall apart in no time. I dont think this will and achieved without compromising design. No pull down makes such a difference. I hope you get many years of enjoyment from it. Its brilliant.
