    cool idea, never thought of that - wanted the pass through so hadn't considered using the space at all ... clever! wish you'd started your build before i started mine!

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

    glad it made it ... and more glad it ain't here anymore! you have no idea how close i was to smashing that thing - boxing it up was a pain, but i'd already agreed to sell it so .... there ya go! at least i didn't lose money on this one, i sold the attendant seat and after shipping I lost about...

    2009 Kodiak 5500 Duramax Crew Cab Ambulance Conversion Project

    nice and clean! looking back ... i should've bought a cab/chassis and a used ambo box for it then started from scratch - spent countless hours tracing wires, removing circuits, coiling the removed wire ... then re-using it to add new circuits. hopefully i've got good notes so that i can add my...

    i cut out most of the driver/rear compartment - fits a 30" square shower base. i'm putting a plastic 'sump' below that with a bilge pump to move the gray water over to the holding tank (will be passenger side under/behind the steps). plan is to have the sink drain into that sump also. toilet...

    It isn't, but to loop the tankless you have to add a smaller water heater into the loop. From reading that link sounds like you put the tankless on a timer to ‘pre-boost' the loop then the small conventional heater can keep it at that temp for a while (?). Not a good fit for an rv imo...

    2009 Kodiak 5500 Duramax Crew Cab Ambulance Conversion Project

    Will LP distributors fill it in the box? One thing I've read in other threads is how difficult some dealers/personnel are to deal with - -whether the tank can be filled safely or not. I'd prefer the hard mounted asme tank but have been planning to do a large portable DOT tank(s) just for ease...

    BeefCake's build...a roll your own Earthroamerish family expo rig

    Yep - unfortunately they don't work, too wide in front and to narrow in the back oh well. I'm thinking about getting a truck they'll work on though just because having military 2 piece rims is cool ��. Ended up getting Alcoa 22.5's and powdercoating them black ... got to a point...

    For the hoseline system - is yours ac/dc or ? They have a parts manual on their website That can help you figure which one you have but the website is poor and hard to navigate Only reasons I don't want to block my rear doors: useful to go to the lumber store, useful to even carry a...
