8mpg is due to the this thing being slow off the line and pushing a lot of rubber. Currently I have changed the gearing considerably (current tire diameter is 1.48 x the supplied tires and 1.3 x specified tires for this unit). Currently I am checking options for final drive gearing with the holy...

Having had poptop sportsmobile, ford E450 ambo, Ford EB E350 diesel 4wd and now a medium duty Freightliner Ambo I can probably add a few items for you to think about. For your requirements I would suggest a medium duty vehicle (Freightliner, C4500 etc). The E350/E450 based ambo's are at the...

While I am sure you can spend this sort of cash getting someone to do a custom build you can also do it more frugally. I am on my second build. The first was a 4WD 1998 converted, painted and on 19.5 singles and I sold it for less than 20K. This build is a little larger but I still expect to...

Got it. Looks like a nice bit of kit. Too bloody hot to test it though. Thanks.

A RTT is the big boys equivalent of a tree house on wheels. Who wouldn't like that. But we had one for over 30 years (And it is still going). Sadly time marches on and the bladder dictated a different approach to camping. Climbing up and down all night to take a leak sucks. A cheap throw down...

Maybe you should say 2 pence worth. The guy looking at making them is in the UK :)

Just make sure it is not a nickel based anti-seize. Galvanic corrosion. I made that mistake once on a boat (stainless into aluminum using anti-seize) and we ended up having to steer a 200hp motor with fishing poles, belts and clothing to get back to shore.

We have had success with using the jack knife sofa's from these guys. They make them in a range of lengths and it is fairly easy to cut up the base they provide to fit over the wheel well of the Ambo. The only issue I had with the latest one is that it is about 6" higher than I would of liked...

Welcome to the asylum.

OK seat bases are in LA with me until early Friday morning. Willing to deal so I don't have to take them home again.

Yep I think I have to agree with you on one part of your statement. The bit about being an ******** :shakin: :). But I don't agree with the other bit! Planning 5 weeks out in a 20 week period and asking a learned community like ExPo for advice is planning for the situation IMHO. Do you have any...

OK but if its not too much trouble can you also bring some rain and cooler weather :snorkel:

Nope not posted anywhere. But very willing to share over a few cold beverages preferably near a campfire.

Looks like a Ural chair in Phoenix $1000. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/mpo/4513164859.html WORLD WAR 2 SIDECAR - $1000 (Peoria Ave. & 91 Ave.) See for yourself... I have a World War 2 model Sidecar. The pictures show everything I have for it. Please only if your seriously interested...

1- Nespresso machine 2- big arsed chairs. Oztent King Kokado. 3- Down comforter. 4- full size pillows x 4. 5- nothing all the rest are essentials.

I can probably help translate. The money saving strategy is "recycling" the Ambo versus a new truck build. I think this will be built out 2wd for less than $25K and $35K if I have to put power to the front wheels. The reference to leaving it behind is based on our experience of having to leave...

Ah bugger! Used our 1.5 seconds of fame on an unwashed, unfinished, hacked together rig. I found the comment "We mistakenly assumed that the ambulance donor platform was just for visual flair" very interesting on obviously the ugliest vehicle there. Never before have I ever been accused of...

If you get stuck rub a raw potato on it. Old bush trick (where the wipers only get used once every couple of years). Just slice a potato and rub it over the shield. Makes the water run off. Works on helmet shields, wing shields etc.
