    Rambo - GMC Ambo Conversion (Roof Raise)

    Well after almost a month in Rambo, we are back home. Everything worked well with only some minor issues such as the a/c stopped blowing cold during the heatwave. It was nice to take it out before it was fully finished as there are some minor things we’d like to change. The trip was 8600km and...

    4000km down. The fuel I’ve burned to this point works out to ********** dab 15l/100km or 16mpg.

    It’s been nice! What a game changer to have a toilet you can use while on the road!

    Rambo - GMC Ambo Conversion (Roof Raise)

    Well we’ve knocked off 2100km in a leisurely 3 days. Everything is working mostly well. There are few tweaks and ideas to change when we get home. The a/c isn’t blowing very cold, my windshield washer fluid tank leaks badly, and my high beams aren’t working. I tried chasing down the high beams...

    Rambo - GMC Ambo Conversion (Roof Raise)

    All sorts of loose ends being tidied up. It’s ready enough to take it out but I’m trying to get as much done as I can before we leave for an 8500km trip in a week. One of the last major items to complete was permanently fixing the piano stand turned table legs to the table so it can slide up...

    I don’t know if this is a terrible idea, but I’ve had had the thought to repair small holes like that with a high quality aluminum pop rivet with a retaining mandrel. I figure the softness of the metal would seal it tight. But like I said. Maybe a terrible idea

    Very nice. Everything needs boost in my opinion. I’m glad to see you went with an intercooler. They make a world of difference!

    Rambo - GMC Ambo Conversion (Roof Raise)

    Well I got a big push for a couple days and took Rambo out for a night. Not done yet but close enough for a night! The biggest issue is that my hot water tank froze and I have water pouring out everywhere. I had drained it but I was parked on an angle so I’m guessing some water was caught...

    The floor is 95% in! What a huge visual change! I also finished the sink plumbing too which has been one of those things that had never been finished. Lots of little things as always but stuff is being checked off.

    Rambo - GMC Ambo Conversion (Roof Raise)

    That was my first plan but I think I want to to try to come up with something I can just sweep dirt into and rinse down the drain lol. The lip of the angle might catch stuff. Realistically, that’s probably what it will end up being Well a big milestone today as the stowable bed was permanently...

    The Hurt Locker - 2003 E350 v7.3 Crestline Ambulance Build Thread

    I'm not critiquing, I'm genuinely curious about propane above batteries. In my build, my stove is above my battery bank and I sealed everything thing with silicone so that if I ever did have a leak it wouldn't sink into the battery well and somehow have a spark in a very low case scenario. Does...
