It doesn't really matter, but if I had to pick one I'd say carry it upright if possible. Most modern ABC extinguishers have a drying agent in them to keep the powder from packing and flowing freely. Of course, a vehicle mounted extinguisher will settle quicker than one that is mounted in a...

Bob, that's a nice looking little unit. Since you're not going to have a shower of any kind, it should work just fine for you.

Ah, I didn't think about the air bags. I should have known better, huh?

Bevan, it looks like the front definitely needs to come down some, but it also looks like the rear needs to go up some just to get the wheel well to tire clearance you need.

1. Sometime they are located in the right front lower compartment of the rear body. Did you check in there? 2. To get the decals off use a Wizzy Wheel. To restore the paint you will need to use rubbing compound, polishing compound, and finally a good wax or polish, with a lot of buffing in...

Chris, just FYI... Look Out Mercedes, Ford’s Releasing an AWD Transit Van in 2020

Bob, looking at the pictures and seeing how tight that is, I imagine it was a real pain to install that pump.

That's OK, you'll get shorter as you get older. Trust me...I know! I used to be 6'2", but now I'm down to 6'0". In order to solve that height problem, several of the guys have raised the center section of the roof to give the cabin area more clearance inside.

Mike, it sounds to me like you need to find you a good F-350 or F-450 4WD Type I Ambulance, and built it out to suit you needs. They are build like a tank with a rollover cage built into the rear body, and it's all aluminum and stainless construction. The roof is more that strong enough to...

Well, since I can't do any heavy manual labor right now, maybe I'll just get me one of these instead.

Once again just to show how tuff ambulances are built. Be sure to watch the video! Suspect crashes stolen EMS vehicle into parked cars...

I can't help you with that one, but maybe someone else will chime in and be able to offer some help.

Nice looking rig, you did a great job on it! (y)

First of all, welcome to the forum! Second, this thread is not an 'old' thread, but one that is ongoing and was stated to give ambulance owners a place to start from, and to ask the general ambulance owner crowd questions. Most of the Ambulance to RV conversions build threads are located here...

OK, that's what I was referring to. I don't think they are going to provide it for the Anchor Cove side because that area is being kept somewhat primitive, even though it has all the standard hookups and bathrooms. Your rig looks great and I'm glad you kept the chrome and polished wheel...

Great, I always try to point that out to anyone visiting here. I'm glad you had a good time in our fair city and BTW, Blue Angel Campground is one of my favorites, especially since it's only about 20 minutes away for me. I started camping out there in the late 60's when it was just an...

"We are now circling back through Alabama and on to Atlanta for some go carting." I assume this means you have already left Pensacola, right? Did you get a chance to visit the National Naval Aviation Museum while you were here? If not, your kids would have loved it. I live in Pensacola and...

The first thing you need to understand is, ABC and BC are not fire extinguishing agents. They are classifications of the different types of fires. For each different classification you may have several different types of agents that can be used. Corrosion... "Moisture may combine with...

What...fire guys being destructive... say it isn't so! :p All of our extinguishers had hoses on them. We carried the 20 lb. and 30 lb. units and they are way too heavy to wave around and try to direct the discharge at the fire. We had the CO2 pressure cartage on the side exactly like the...

I don't know where you read that, but Purple K (aka Potassium Bicarbonate) is very corrosive, especially around electronics or aluminum. PKP's main use is for flammable liquid fires. It is the second most effective dry chemical in fighting class B (flammable liquid) fires after Monnex...
