Lefty Good Boy!! A favorite nylabone might help w/his anxiety. Dogs know more about people than we do. Plus, he doesn't want to lose the guy that Feeds him!

I think giving him something to chew on while you are interacting with someone else, is a great idea! I’m not so sure he’s anxious but he sure does want all of your attention, Dave. And I also think that he’s always up for a walk. So when you two are together and he has his leash on, he’s ready And wants to go for a walk with you! Lefty is such a gem of a dog!!

Man, $5K? Nice find, Austin! I can't find anything comparable for twice that price.

@@TheCampulanceMan oh yeah, being patient and I have time before I need to pull the trigger, so I'm looking for a deal like Austin's to come along. I just hope I'm quick enough to get a deposit down before some other buyer does lol I spent 4 hrs last night doing a look around the country and did find some that had a fair price, but were not cared for which is fine for body/interior, but makes me think if they didn't take any care of the body/interior, why would they bother to do anything with the engine? The hunt continues.....

Good idea to have the heater extension to go into the water cabinet:)

Ok, my thoughts, I've been looking at a lot of videos. Some on building up the LMTV into overland campers, great idea for people who can work on those trucks. I can do some wiring, plumbing and build inside stuff but a mechanic I'm not. Anything in the $10 grand or under in a class c camper is going to be old with a great chance of leaks into the wood framing. Ambulance is all aluminum, what a great choice. You changed my mind.

Dog cracks me up. lol

Nice rig, minimal buildout is con$ervative of resources. While Converter & inverters in Ambu’s are heavy duty for vehicles, they’re under-powered for FT nomads (who usu sell them). Rain channels at the roof are usually *structural, so they can support shading awnings. Diamond plate *looks fine as a mirror (tho oxidation will make it haze quickly), it is a big thermal break to the module, and thus needs removal on doors.
