    Hammock inside an ambulance?? Can anyone school a complete hammock noobie

    Thanks for the input guys. Just another noobie question. I noticed some of the heavy duty ones had extra loops for hooking to. Is there any advantage to adding straps to the sides to stabilize it or what are they used for.

    Quigley SRW front hubs?

    Check with Quigley with your vin. My understanding was that they used a variety of axles as the base for their builds. I ended up buying Dynatrac hubs from Chris at UJoint.

    Rough ride - Wheels and Tires - 19.5's to 20" LT's? or Suspension

    The problem with going much bigger on the diameter is the Fords suffer from marginal brakes at best. So now you are into hydrostatic boosters etc unless yours already has that. Also remember if you stick with duals you may need spacers between the rear wheels to stop the sidewalks rubbing...

    Rough ride - Wheels and Tires - 19.5's to 20" LT's? or Suspension

    Before you go overboard on tires I would consider just jumping up a size or 2 on the 19.5s. My experience with them on the Freightliner was 225 (1st Freightliner) was very harsh and a totally miserable experience. The 245 on the latest one were bearable but still rough. The 265s on the bigger...

    Ambulance recovery. Bought without any details and then road trip across the country.

    Make sure you get a better one than mine. It always has a flat battery from the trigger pressing on something. If you search Amazon for a compact version with a recessed button you will be better off. Also in case anyone is wondering the advice I gave Tony was to get a fluorescent dyecheck test...

    Hammock inside an ambulance?? Can anyone school a complete hammock noobie

    Thanks for the input. No luck in finding that Sportsmobile on their site. On the current rig (Yella one) we have a bunk builtin over the sleeper/sofa but even though it takes all the room above the window it is now a bit cramped vertically for her to comfortable sleep. In the Big Red rig we...

    Hammock inside an ambulance?? Can anyone school a complete hammock noobie

    First of all a confession. Apart from a couple of disastrous drunken escapades I have absolutely no experience with hammocks. Inside our converted ambulances we always install a nice comfortable sleeper sofa. This work great for the 2 of us. But now I am in the middle of converting another one...

    Now that is interesting. Definitely not something for me but interesting.

    From Freightliner ambulance to RV - we hope!

    They are probably the power supply fuses for the engine and transmission. It is a good idea to make sure you know the fuse rating and have spares because if one of those blows you go no where.

    Fairly tidy and a lot more open space. Big bonus for them was the ability to turn one cupboard into a bathroom. Plus the M2 cab is a whole lot nicer than the FL cab.
