    From Freightliner ambulance to RV - we hope!

    Bikersmurf - the $5000-6000 estimate is a full wrap, that would take our white rig to black - then, the graphics would go over that. Pricey indeed, but an option... But, I'm actually leaning back towards keeping this rig white and going with our black logo. It's not as ************-looking, I...

    Ambulance Camper/ Expedition Rig Conversion FAQ

    Thanks, guys. GEV will be replacing the lenses with clear... IF they have them. Otherwise, they're going to paint them. That's fine with me, as I may remove them anyway. By the way, this unit came from Florida directly to GEV. It doesn't look like it was a "first out" ambulance. The hours...

    Oh, Patoz... I wish that were the one - I love the crew cab. But, no, we got the 1999 and our thread is here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/158060-From-Freightliner-ambulance-to-RV-we-hope!?

    From Freightliner ambulance to RV - we hope!

    We've been busy, planning and prepping what we can. First priority was getting it insured, which we did through the Hartford (a USAA alliance). As others have pointed out, USAA won't insure these but they do have alliances with other companies. They first sent me to the Progressive rep, but...

    Ambulance Camper/ Expedition Rig Conversion FAQ

    Ozrockrat - thanks for the suggestion about the video record of the walkthrough, I'll do that. And, I never considered that a shower was possible. I'd love to see that as it progresses. Rlrenz - wow, thanks for taking the time to write up your suggestions. Those are helpful and I'll toss a...

    From Freightliner ambulance to RV - we hope!

    Hi cjken, Yeah... the black is not the most practical color choice. We're going that route primarily because our packaging color theme is a black background with the red and white graphics. The other "advantage" of black is that it won't look like a real ambulance at a race or athletic event...

    Ambulance Camper/ Expedition Rig Conversion FAQ

    Thanks, Huskyhauler, Ozrocket, and Ambot. Good info, and much appreciated! I like that outdoor pop-up outhouse/shower/changing station tent. Very cool. We were thinking that, parked in the exhibitor section of an event, that might not go over well - so, we were thinking of an inside potty...

    Little mods/upgrades/additions that make a big difference

    Hi all, For me, the best sub-$25 purchase has been the Kenu Airframe phone mount. It is easy to carry (super small), holds almost any phone quite securely, and is easy to move from vehicle to vehicle. On Amazon, it's about $19...

    What she'll look like - maybe? Our food product branding is based on healthy fats, and in that low-carb/high-fat community there are lots of things people make called "fat bombs." SO, as a play on that (and to have fun) our products live under the brand name FBomb... FBomb oils, FBomb...

    From Freightliner ambulance to RV - we hope!

    Hi all, We live in Flagstaff and own a small food business, which caters (in large percentage) to athletes. We also love to travel, explore and camp. So, we wanted a vehicle that will be sturdy, fun, and make a statement (when it's logoed out and we take it to events, to meet customers and...

    Buying & Building a Medium Ambulance into an RV – The FAM-BULANCE

    This alone is worth the price of admission to Expedition Portal. Thanks!! (well, this looks stupid I know... I hit reply in response to an early post about removing a panel near the passenger's feet, to find the Freightliner info label. That's what I was referring to!)

    Ambulance Camper/ Expedition Rig Conversion FAQ

    Thanks, Bikersmurf and Patoz. Happy to be here! We live in Flag and went to the expo last year, at Mormon Lake. It definitely got us thinking... The ambulance we bought is still on Global Emergency Vehicle's site, in the medium duty section. It's a bit of a unique beast, it seems, as it has...

    Ambulance Camper/ Expedition Rig Conversion FAQ

    Hi all, A new member here, who's been doing lots of reading. There's a ton of great info, but I don't see mention of toilet/potty locations in any of the threads I've read. The kitchen and bed areas are pretty obvious, but what are folks doing for an inside potty (assuming they have one -...

    Freightliner ambulance conversion project.

    Hi Oz, I wanted to thank you for the great, detailed progress report. You inspired us to join ExpeditionPortal. We live up the hill, in Flag, and just purchased an FL60 also. Road trip starts in 6 days... It looks like you found the perfect sofa bed and we'll probably follow your lead on...
