Building Our Ambulance RV with Recycled Materials
In this video, we are FINALLY ready to start building out the inside of our ambulance camper. The theme for this build is BUDGET, so went out of our way to ensure we were using old scrap or recycled materials everywhere possible. Literally, we actually drove over 30 minutes away to pick up some of the freshest free pallets being offered in our area. While we're speaking of pallets, here's the link to a helpful resource that covers the risks associated with using pallets in your project. diyprojects.com/know-safe-use...

Can't wait for part 2! I'm a retired Respiratory Therapist and did my share of time in the back of ambulances transporting patients and love to see what you are accomplishing with the space! They are certainly decked out with goodies I'm glad you can repurpose.
😂 It always cracks me up when people utilize machines and never properly double check the work to avoid any possibility of errors before handing it over to customers. Then to add insult they blame the machines with the intention of avoiding responsibility and often times blame the customer in one way or another. Glad to see your experience wasn't as bad as some I've come across, nevertheless it still sucks. Well done, looks like a ton of fun 👍 .....lots of hard work, but fun. 😊 Stay safe and well out there 🤙💜✌️
Glad you time-lapsed the video with no audio. I imagine the language got pretty strong.
Aloha - thank you for the update….looking forward to more videos of the ambo build.
Que barbaridad....y nosotros aquí en México sufriendo por falta de ambulancias...sobre todo nosotros los Paramédicos voluntarios 😢😢😢
You two have done a great job insulating the ambo. Kudos on the spray insulation, 1 and only time I did it in my garage foundation to sheet rock wall seams I sprayed WAY too much and it ballooned out. Those blueprints in your head are always the best because you "see" the vision. You remind me of...me...checking and then adjusting 3 more times then deciding on a solution. Nice shop, 239 area code puts you in Collier County.
Wow, I can’t wait for part two!
Love the kitties
I'm guessing you tried to use a stab/reciprocating/sawzall type saw for your bed. I found out the same way you did, hard way, that type of saw is definitely not the saw you should use if you want to preserve the thing you're cutting. A portable jigsaw might be better, or it might not, I don't know.
Nice work, guys -- looking forward to seeing how you do the window AC. I just got my window AC and am starting to work on the bypass so I can remove the ambo AC unit and somehow put the window AC/ducting where the old one was. Can't make my mind up if that's where I want it. Your location might be a good option for me too.
So sick
Where did you guys purchase the cargo rack on the cab?
Awesome work guys! I too have a c4500 ambulance conversion and am considering the sound deadening treatment for the cab because it is pretty noisy at highway speed, as I am sure you too found out. Did you have any trouble getting the flooring or headliner to fit over the Dynamat? Thanks and keep up the good work!
Questions please? - What if the interior height & what kind of MPG do you get?
How much did it cost to build this
Surprised they don't factory install insulation on a 300k truck
Ambulances are great for shorter people, I would do a roof raise.
