Ambulance conversions have really been popular over the last year. I was looking to bid on one and it went for $9.6k! Are you considering one of these over a camper van?

Yes, I certainly have. What a beautiful build. Hate that I missed the live stream. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Have a blessed & spectacular Sunday.🤗❤🙏🏼

I just lost my husband on July 4, 21. We were planning on traveling but he passed before we could go. I’m seriously thinking an ambulance is perfect for me to travel in by myself. Thank you for the inspiration! Maybe once everything calms down and finances are worked out I’d love to meet you. I can have my Kimbulance!😁

Love the inside. The outside still looks stealth. Ceiling is high. Great build

Hey, Jan! Great Work! FYI: What you have is NOT a former Ambulance. Although it was constructed by Wheeled Coach, an Ambulance manufacturer. The exterior white over red, (not pink,just sun bleached) paint job gives it away. What you have is an First or Second generation out-of-service American Red Cross ERV, or Emergency Response Vehicle. There's a way to determine which is which. If it runs on Gasoline, it's a First Generation. If it runs on Diesel, it's a Second Generation.You said there was a Chair at that window. That was a Service Window where one of the 2 Volunteer Drivers sat & dispensed Coffee or hot chocolate, or Lemonade or Iced Tea, depending the season. They either dispensed sandwiches, donuts or hot food to first responders and disaster victims, at either a local or National disaster.

This is definitely one of the best ambulance builds I’ve seen thus far. I have worked as a Paramedic on an ambulance for the last 36 years. The thought of living in one full time has made me cringe...until now. This rig has a really great chill, homey vibe to it. Well done ! I’m off to follow on IG now :)

Wow there’s a full-size cookstove with an oven! So many tiny houses only have a small cooktop & no oven (or else they have a small microwave or convection oven)..this is impressive. She has made this ambulance tiny home very functional and cozy. Very creative build.

I miss my hammock chair. It was hung on my back porch, I had a huge garden with chickens and everything. I lived next to the air force base. I'd be in the veggies & at 5pm they'd play the national anthem. I'd sit in my hammock at night, then at 9pm they'd play taps. I'd leave for work too early to catch revelry in the morning.

Wishing you and Louis many happy days together. Terrific little ‘tiny home’ 😺

I absolutely love the shower. A shower would be a "must have" for me if I traveling/living in a ambulance, skoolie, or van build. I love how she used the resin to make the floor & walls for a shower. Great idea! And the colors used for it is really pretty. This build is one of the best I've seen so far.

Arlene here - I love your janbulance.....what a lovely little home.

Very nice!! 😍 One of the best and most beautiful campers I have ever seen! Even with a shower - really great! Greetings from Berlin/Germany

It's so spacious inside, compared you what you see in a lot of conversions! I love the design.

I really liked the build. Nice work! Teaching aerial yoga, living in St. Thomas, and being able to take a year off from work - I can't be the only person who's wondering how she can afford the build and living this lifestyle. Respect, Jan.

I also suspect she lives frugally. Nothing in that build is extravagant in the least. Very practical. Except maybe the solar set-up. The only thing that potentially bothers me a little bit is that her gas mileage can't be wonderful but I think she balances that by using solar power.

I've been watching videos, first of ready made camper vans, then build-outs, for a year now, and only in the past couple months discovered ambulance build-outs. All I've seen are great, but none have all I would like, until I saw yours. Amazing design work, amazing everything, congrats!

Great video. Best wishes to you & Louis. 🐾🐱🌹

Great rig for your needs. Love your use of materials. Safe and happy travels into 2021! 😎✌️🤙🤘😎

You have such a sweet spirit! And the janbulance is great! Has all the necessary and still open boot area. Also so personalised ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You did an excellent job on your ambulance conversion thank you for sharing James

I’m impressed at your DYI competence and I love Janbulance, especially your unconventional materials and the practicality! Safe travels to both of you!

What a great home! It's quite roomy and looks great. Safe travels❤

Hi, you are so smart, and handy, very nice. Better than a studio apartment.

Kudos on so many ingenious low cost ideas. Love the minimal solar.

Great build! I got many ideas for mine! Enjoyed listening to her... very sweet girl!!

Love it!!!! It looks so great. I wish I was young again. I would love to do something like this. Great Job ❤️

So clever with this build. Very impressive! I haven't thought about Pepsi crates in years! Loved 'em!

I love this conversion. So nice to be different than the norm. Looks nice an airy and fresh.

Beautiful build. Wonderful job and innovation.

The Janbulance... LOVE it! Great conversion, btw. Happy travels! I loved how your story reminded me of something I had to learn when I learned how to let go and just be. When you mention the fact that you stalled but ended up having everything you needed to get going again, it's funny how things just work out on the road. Just have to relax and, instead of sensationalizing the issues, we just calmly assess the issue and go for it head on. Keeping a clear head tends to make it possible to more quickly find solutions and implement them. Good luck on your journey!

Far and away the best ambulance conversion I've seen. I would have liked a work space included, but it's her rig, not mine. Really exceptional.

Kudos, sooo Proud of you, keep doing your thing. 🫂💞🎉🎊🦋🤗

This has a lot more windows than other ambulances I have seen. Hope to see you on the road:)

Absolutely gorgeous conversion, love the energy, calm, also you have incredible storage and space a plenty, happy travels

How in the world did I miss this tiny home tour? What a fantastic camper...love how you built it out and it looks so clean and stealthy on the outside...great job...safe travels

She really did a wonderful job, i also love her energy....

I like the bed the most.. the conversation from couch to bed with still enough room to pas through. Also I can sleep in a small space,so I can imagine myself sometimes sleeping on it in the couch position,or even leaving it in a bed position for days.😏

What a lovely ambulance home. Very nice job, Jana. At 16:56 - that little trick you used with rubber hose/ pipe cut to size to make a grommet for that shower tube hole is genius. I had to cut a grommet in my battery box which is right under a wheel well and it sprays rain water now inside the battery box. Could not find a matching grommet, but this is a really smart idea. Will try it. Thanks for sharing this small detail!

I really like this whole thing. The ambulance and everything in it is just pretty much perfect - and that hammock chair? YES, please :)

The JAMBULANCE LOVE IT 💛🥰💛

This is a really cool set-up. Love everything about this build - congratulations!!

I’ve been searching for a shuttle bus but these ambulances are interesting. They must get better mileage and the outside storage is awesome.

Looks like you've done a good job building out a nice conversion that works for you! I know it may not mean anything on the grand scheme of things, and you may already know it, but your vehicle is an ex-American Red Cross Disaster Response Vehicle, not designed or built to be an ambulance or used as an ambulance. These were built by Wheeled Coach which coincidently is an ambulance manufacturer in Florida. Also, this wasn't meant to be a negative comment because I like what you did with it.

Hey Jan, Great job! I love all the little things you have done on a shoestring. My own place is built pretty much with found materials and bungee cords! If it works-- keep it! One little thing i was a bit concerned about (sorry for being such a mom) was the on-demand water heater so close to the wall/ceiling. I know it's vented outside, but they can get really hot. Just check it immediately after hot showers and check to see if anything is getting hot... if so, you'll figure out a way to fireproof it (adding distance and/or non-flammable barriers). Thank you for sharing. You make it look easy and fun! A great inspiration.

Wow!!! Love, love all of her unique ideas! So amazing!!!!!!

Lovely build and you are so cute! Some tips: 1. Shower pan is a must. Eventually it will leak and wood may rot out. Plastic or metal but please get one. 2. Loctite Rust Neutralizer from Lowes is a nice spray can to have for pesky rust spots. Spray on rust and it will bond to metal and stop rusting. 3. I would add a litter box door. Walmart sells DAMP RID small gel packs for cat litter room. 4. If you want nice curtain tracks try IKEA. Ceiling or wall mount. Shirring tape and drapery pins also at IKEA. Very smart to use an ambulance. Best vehicle there is. You did a fantastic job inside - very functional, full bath, kitchen, bed, very well done! I have some questions: What mpg does this van give you? Was it easy to unhook existing metal cabinets from the wall?

@@galadethlaernis6266 Sure, it works with everything, except BBQs where it will just burn off and high heat paint is needed, With cars you have to remove all the rust with an angle grinder and wire brush cup or rotary Dremel tool and tiny wire brush. Then spray this or dab it on from a can. If you want to paint the whole truck, use bedliner paint (in any color you want) like Durabak and a roller brush, no need to spray it. There is a KZread video on this too. Comes out beautifully and is very durable. Don't expect a high gloss finish, just a satin sheen.

Fantastic Build! I am very impressed with what you have been able to do with the space. It is amazing how fast a rig can fill up.

Bravo!!( p.s. I have 3 older cats that r MY fur children, & I am considering how to incorporate them in my upcoming adventure! They are older & have always had ALOT of space, but they sleep with me anyway & i feel they would be just as happy wherever we go, as long as we r together. ❤)

So cool!!! I’m an EMT. And this is so neat to me!🙂🚑

What a neat idea! Thankyou for the tour of the Janblance !

Really really like this one, her and dad built this and not perfect(so what) and she LOVES IT and is proud of all they did themselves(high quality person), seen so many now where you can tell the person "showing it" isnt the person who built it yet is still acting like they did?? nope, love this one.

Adorable. And the ambulance is nice too.

I purchased an ambulance a year ago and I am starting the building plan to get all systems packed into it that I want as I plan to also be in cold climates, as well as, warmer climates. I took a few trips in it this past year and am learning the drive terrain (computer operated) along with what I want to be in the campulance. I plan to keep it as a stealth RV, but I did remove the AMBULANCE labeling and named my rig BULA. So, if you see me on the road, please give me a holler; I enjoy meeting people and sharing traveling experiences. I’m building out of northwest Iowa and plan to change things up to be able to travel more in the next year or two 😊

Very awesome! Especially with shower and toilet.

I love your build of your ambulance I wish I could live like that someday thank you

...well done...so fun to reimagine things to suit a specific purpose-did similar to your oven rack grid hanger...went to a display house and bought a large retail sock display grid to hang pots/utensils with s-hooks in my loft...had so much fun looking for stuff to repurpose...you’ve done an amazing job...obvs your kitty loves his digs...happy 2021🤍

Love your commitment to being a brave solo traveler!! Sounds like you have it all figured out ❤️
