Dropped price to 18k OBO, motivated to sell! Need the funds for a new purchase. Pick up from the shop before or after brake work (can negotiate further). Looking to move it fast.
Hey Everyone!
Well, not sure this is what I really want to do, but the circumstances are making it as such. I originally purchased the vehicle to make a cross country trip because of work. However, that has changed (job is not requiring relocation) so plans have changed. It has been a crazy few months.
This was professionally converted (not by me) and I am sure I am missing things. Feel free to ask and Ill do my best to answer.
It is a 1996 E350 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel. Located in San Diego, CA. 87k miles. Mechanically, the Ambo is in great shape.
Conversion - This is where I know I am missing information, however I will provide pics and if you need additional information. It is a Horton built Ambo.
Solar and Batteries
-200watt solar panel - I have to confirm the brand and if it is 200w. It does a fine job keeping the batteries up and running.
-Tracer Solar Charge Convertor
-PM-2000KAR DC to AC inverter
-MT50 Remote Meter
-4 Trojan T-105 deep cycle 6 volt batteries in storage locker with rest of charger/solar/invertor
-1 house batter in engine bay
-1 SX - H8/L5/49 starter battery
-Shore power connection
Interior
-This was a Fire Rescue Truck from the midwest, from what I have been told it was not used and spent most of its life in a person's yard(?). It is heavily insulated.
-Custom futon that pulls out into a full side bed
-New Costway refrigerator
-New Microwave
-Sink with working faucet and water pump (current using a 5 gallon water jug for drinking water and 5 gallon bucket for gray)
-2 Fans (not sure of brand) that can pull air in or out (switches on panel by captains chair labeled)
-dome lights
-all cabinets securely lock, so many cabinets and lockers.
-26inch (need to confirm) samsung flatscreen tv mounted to wall above rear doors, outlets run behind TV, as well as two mounted speakers that are separate from the cab
-For cooking there is a older coleman propane camping grill that will stay with the Ambo, previous owner left it and it will stay - I have not used it.
Cab
-Original headunit from 96. Not sure if this is a plus, but has a tape deck!
-Front speakers work great
-AC and Heat work great
-Hella Flood lights mounted on front are wired to a switch just under the steering
-Power windows and locks (windows/locks still working).
-no cracks in dash or windshield
-All gauges functioning
Body
-Emblems and sirens removed
-Lights are all still installed, but the flashers are all unhooked, only the normal running lights and other normal lights are still working
-outside flood lights wired to a switch inside the box
-overall the paint is in decent shape (for its age). Still looks like an Ambo (people tend to give you the right of way!)
-Bumper has flip up step that can hide a hitch if you are to install one (hitch not installed, but all the wiring is apparently there if you want to install one).
-All outdoor lockers lock and shut easily, all in great shape
The bad
-For full disclosure, there is some rust.
-EDIT- decided to put in new brake lines.
That is all I can think of for now. I know I am missing some things, but hopefully the pics help so and I can provide any information I missed. 18k OBO, SD CA. Feel free to dm for text or email info.
