I was wondering how long it was going to take someone to say something about the barking. Thanks for the humor!

That dual shower is a great idea for washing off from an excursion before tracking everytging in.

One of the main differences between the E350 and the E450 is the rear axle ratio. The E350 has a 4.120 rating while the E450 has a 4.56 rating. You may use more fuel with the E450 but you will have the towing and hill-climbing power. Also, in the hills you should get better fuel mileage than the E350.There are a lot of differences between the two engine models. Even though the E350 has received a lot of upgrades those difference still exist and the E450 may be the superior engine. This includes the fact that they both use the same transmission.The first difference is that there is a 3 1/2” difference in the rear track, with the E450 being the larger of the two. Also, there is a thicker gauge of steel used in the E450 than the E350. Third, the E450 uses a 10.75 rear differential while the E350 has moved up to a 10.5. In total towing weight, the E450 can tow about 9,500 pounds while the E350 can only haul 8,500. Then the E450 uses a hydro-boost brake system that applies more pressure than the E350 which uses a vacuum boost system. Fifth, the E350 does get marginally better fuel mileage than the E450. it will all depend, plus, the ride is smoother with the former than the latter.

Very nice shower stall! Finally a bathroom in an ambulance. Nicely done on the layout. I think though you should sell the current bed structure and build a slat bed that pulls out. It seems to be the only version that works for an ambulance. You will recover your money, as RV items sell fast.

It sounded like Lefty wanted a playdate with Rowdy. After watching this video I am encouraged because it seems like I could move into an ambulance without much modification and be comfortable. Merry Christmas!!

I wonder if you could raise your roof on your vehicle? I think that it would be cool to have some type of deck that could come out from beneath the vehicle and when you leave it stows underneath? This one is cool as well? Can you do a detailed walk-through of your vehicle?

Nice video and nice rig. I’m wondering, the cabinets above the refrigerator as you enter the rig, are those standard with those little drawers? I haven’t seen that before in the rigs I’ve been looking at. Also, what does Sherri do for a toilet? I’m also curious, since she leaves the bed down most of the time, it must be a pain to access the storage under the bed. Does she even use that storage? And about the shower, it wasn’t entirely clear...did she cut a hole in the floor for a drain? Wonderful rig, wonderful video. It clearly shows that with minimum modification, you can have a camper ready to go. 👍
