Retired Paramedic here. Type 1 is on a pickup frame and usually doesn’t have walk through from cab to box. Type 2 is a van with a raised roof. Type 3 is usually a dually van chassis with a box on the back and walkthrough. The nomenclature isn’t important though. Terrific video Bob! Remember, with newer diesels, you may need def. The older rigs had extremely oversized alternators that are expensive to fix. The boxes have wiring for all the interior lights, touch screens, suction, radios. It’s not a simple module. You most likely will need to block out or change the lenses on the emergency lights depending on the state.

Love ambos. They have so many built-in cabinets overhead already. And, when you walk in, most have a place on the right where oxygen was and behind that, you can use as a closet. Can't wait to see the inside.

Congrats Bob! I am sooo happy for you. You give and give of yourself... for YEARS! Have fun and enjoy and I can hardly wait to watch your videos of the build.

You are so right about how personal a choice the rig is. I never cease to be amazed at the individuality people bring to their rigs. I once saw a shuttle bus where the woman had a hammock hanging from the ceiling and that was her bed. Just amazing what people come up with. Besides all your personal reasons for choosing an ambulance, I think it is appropriate because you are such a life saver!! Ha, ha. : )

I have been in municipal equipment repair, maintenance, and replacement my entire career. During that time I have maintained and purchased dozens of ambulances of various ambulance manufacturers. You are absolutely correct in stating that an ambulance is a quality built product, even more so than a school bus. Question: what is the make of your ambulance? I have been to ambulance manufacturers facilities in Kansas, Indiana and 'Florida and found them all to be top notch builders. When you consider that an ambulance is a mobile ER the quality and durability HAS to be there, no ifs ands or buts about it, no compromise allowed.

People is taking there last dollar to by a home. The prices go up on everything. Gas is up. Buy it now. There are estimated 650.000 people homeless and rising. I just dont understand. Lets all pray for everyone. I do. Thank jesus daily for what we have today. We thank him for what he did on the cross for us. I do. Life is to short. We have only one life to live. Jesus will make a way for everyone. We trust. We believe. We have faith in jesus. We give him all the praise and glory. We all will make it through this hard time. Just pray and pray and pray where ever you are. Whatever we all do.dont ever give up.there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel. Follow the light. Jesus is the light and the way. Thank you. Love you all. The government controls sll of our lives daily. They are at fault of the pandemic and everything else. They are never prepared for anything. Misery loves company. So we all need to pray for them to bring back all jobs. And businesses to for the usa. Leave the jobs there in other countries for there people. We need all the businesses back at home. Pay checks should meet better than the cost of living. The rich people depend on us poor people to do all the dirty work for them. But they dont like to pay. They need to do the work themselves. See how it feels. Let them be homeless for a month. No job. No money. No food. No cell phones. No place to go No family or friends or neighbors help. No house. Just the steets. I wonder how they would feel then. Add all the rich pastors of churches to. The rich ones. They keep crying tp take peoples money for parties and pay days.load up there bank accts. With another million or two every month. They never say stop. Put the money in the plate. Buying music. Etc. They never say anything to help the poor. They never donate to the major charrities. If they do. Its a tax write off.there are some good preachers or pastors out there. Where are they.who are they. The usa is in a big fat mess.why is china making all the vehicle parts and cars on every vehicle.china makes everything. Ehere is our jobs.look where our clothes is made. My clothes is awful. They wont fit right. Everything wears out by the year. Its only for business.gotta keep buying and buying and buying. Vehicles to. The more cars gets stollen and more accidents. The state. Makes more money. Everyone needs a car. Say that 2 million cars gets stollen a year just in texas. Thats 2 million license plates to sell plus inspections. Car insurances rip everyone off.outrageous prices. Its a money making racket. We dont make enough money to keep up with this kind of foolishness. Oh.yeah. the prices of cars to is a mess. They are stealing money from us all. To them we pay very close to sticker price. Knock off for the car wash destination charges a few other things.go on line at maybe car fax.com maybe it will tell you the price you will pay below msrp. Price. Ask sales what will the base price be. Type in the vin number on the website to. If the sales person wont tell you then walk out.if you get 4000.00 off. Sticker price or more. You will definately have a good deal.also get all rebates of everything. If you are buying a truck or van go to the fleet dept. Get a better deal. A lot of dealerships is crooks. I have been ripped off a lot myself. Nobody to help me. I learned the hard way.finally i had a friend at work years later to help. Oh. Rember the bombing at pearl harbor. The japans said they did not know the usa was in that certain area at pearl harbor. They bombed us. Now japan is making mega monies off of us here in the usa. In 1984 i bought a toyota pick up. A tacoma. In 1986 i was on my way to do laundry. The thought hit me about history. I thought why didnt i think of history before i bought this truck. After i finished the laundry. I called the salesman and told him i needed a different truck. I told him the history of palm harbor. He wanted to help me but i was in a upside down. Situation. So i went to a ford dealership. I again told the history. The salesman said i owed to much to trade. I told him i wanted a ranger. Stick shift. Plain and simple. I told him i. Will never buy a car from the enemy that did such cowardly evil actions to bomb us at pearl harbor.i left the ford dealer with a new ranger pick up. So now the usa is selling japans toyotas. Like crazy. So japan is only here for the business. Maybe to get all our bennefits to.soc. sec. Etc. What about germany. Hitler. Volkswagons is here to.so where is our own chevy and ford factories back here in the usa. Also. All. Of everything the usa ever made needs to come back home where they belong. Send back everything to china and germany. And anything to everybody else. They need to buy from us everything they need. So our government is stupid. This is why the usa is im such a big fat mess.. And other things to add. Well thats a story for now of a reason for. The homeless and job loss.our government has got no. Excuse of the way they treat us. With just two moves the government could make would bring the usa back to life for joy and happiness.plenty of jobs. People back in homes prices low or salaries up to meet the cost of living. Etc. Well there is hope. We never give. Keep on keeping on moving forward. Love you all . many blessings. God bless america. Thank you. Jan from texas

I looked at retired ambulances during my search, because I volunteered as an EMT for a few years, so I'm familiar with the platform and layout. At the time I did not consider the advantages that a 4x4 ambulance might offer. Nice find, though with no direct access between the living area and the cab, it might be difficult to get underway if you need to leave in a hurry.

I like the way you explain your thought process and how it works for YOU. Congratulations, Bob! May your miles be with smiles.

Also some of these ambulances are built on cut away van chassis so imagine a u haul type box truck just without the box truck box on the back and instead it's an ambulance box so that means a small area to work on the engine as well as being limited on where you can take it to get it worked on due to weight, everybody has different needs and desires so an ambulance might now work for everyone such as if you require more room and have a family you will be living with, then you would need a bus or something close to the size of a bus.

Short buses tend to sell a lot quicker than a full size bus and tend to be more sought after so expect to pay anywhere from $3,500 -$8k for a good running short bus. Ambulances usually come in 3 different sizes and also range in close to the same price as a short bus, I paid $3k for mine and think that is a reasonable price since they literally left everything in the ambulance such as emergency lights and siren, oxygen hookups, all compartments full of expired medical supplies, and they even left all of the decals all over the van. Of course I removed everything I didn't need, with the exception of the lights and siren lol

I hope you will share a inside tour at some point, I have a big Genesis school bus built out, Love it but cost WAY to much to travel in, some day I'd Love to have a ambulance, love All you do to help others, you inspire us all to be better people, and help others!! Nothing but love for you from Ky.

Looking forward to the tour of the interior space.

You are very deserving of a new home, and you represent our community so well. She's a beauty!!!

Bob you are naturally evolving. Congratulations.

I looked into one a couple years back but couldn’t find much about conversion, so I chickened out. Maybe I will take another look!!!!! You’re the best!!!

Still would like to see a tour of old van :))

That will be in the next video, bob will do a 3 or 4 part series so he gets more views. It's all about views!! And I don't blame him

Love it! And I also love your emphasis that everyone’s needs are unique and you need to pick the right vehicle for you. We spent many months researching vehicles until we finally landed on a Honda Pilot AWD SUV and we love it! All the time spent researching was worth it.

Great choice Bob. I alway felt they would be a perfect home. So happy for you. Keep up your beautiful you. You are so kind. Hugs

Great info!! I was waiting to look inside LOL

That looks like a perfect rig. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the interior.

An ambulance is such an interesting choice! I had an Astro van I loved that was AWD; I see them now & then for sale

Buying a ambulance is GENIUS!

"Seasons" change as well....as we "mature", our needs/desires may facilitate some modifications in our home and/or transportation. Very few ever live/drive in the same home/vehicle forever....evolution is inevitable 🤓

Ambulances are great for ametuer radio. Big alternator. Lots of room. Can mount a bunch of antennas on roof.

Good for you, Bob

Love you Bob and what you stand for. You've helped so many people.

Great Video Bob !!! I need a bigger van for sure....

Seems the perfect choice for you Bob! We have a tree service business. My husband has a 2018 RAM 5500 (4WD/dulee/2 tons). We pay $4,700 a year for commercial insurance on this truck in California. My husband has been in business over 30 years, no accidents, is a licensed contractor. This insurance has gone up every year for 3 years. So good advice Bob, CHECK FOR INSURANCE FIRST! Can’t wait to see the inside of your new rig!

*love the new upgrade*

I think home on wheels alliance should be always located on wheels. If it would be located in a building, that will definitely contradict the essence of this alliance - on wheels !!

Ambulance ... that is good thinking.

You are an inspiration to others; always with good advice and kindness.

Great video! I have been looking for an ambulance for a few months and the prices are going up. But the reasons you mentioned why you want one are as important as why it might not work for someone. Thanks Bob and good luck. Can’t wait for the tour video.

Do they have air conditioning or heat in the home part?

I watched a video once where that happened and they used a tow strap tied underneath somehow to pull the rock out. It was in the desert. There's almost always people who have had the same problem and have figured it out. Bob will be o.k. He's resourceful and a great networker.
