Cool options... have to be careful on these Ambos, ours all seem to get a cheap respray before sale. Due to poor prep I’ve had things I’ve bonded on come loose. The bond hasn’t failed, it’s just taken the top layer of paint with it.

How's the smoke over there? We see this all day...

Time to stop testing your stove, you’re smoking me out over here. ;) I’m looking forward to seeing the sun again. Air quality over here is terrible because of the fires in the western states. I hope the rain helps to calm them down. If it’s this bad here, I’m afraid to think of what it is...

X2 I’d also check on the clock spring. If it’s disconnected the air bag and abs light will both be on. My abs light came on when the connection under the drivers seat got bumped. I’m not sure if it’ll trigger the ABS light but the sensor on the bottom of the master cylinder will mess up a...

Used this while camping... I was very impressed with how well it worked for the two nights. Didn’t even need to add any fuel to what had been in it for 5+ years. It was my grandmas from the beginning of 1940. It’s a dual mantle, nickel bottom, Canadian lantern. No model number to be found...

On a somewhat related mater. What’s involved in upgrading ‘97 E350 2WD front brakes on a dually to stronger brakes from a newer van? I believe it involves swapping to newer radius arms and the knuckles to match. Which years? What is the strongest, longest lasting, and most reasonable for what...

I picked up the FLA golf cart batteries for $60x2. The money saved will buy a lot of solar and other stuff.

i only have experience getting CC to work again not adapt. There are a number of things that all must be working for CC to function. Steering wheel buttons Clock spring Brake light switch (for lights) E-brake switch Brake pressure switch on master cylinder ABS sensor on rear axle Any of the...

Freaky I’m glad no one was hurt... and there was no damage to anything significant.

I’m wanting to make sure I’m understanding. It’ll normally come on till the van is running. Then it should go off after a bit. could also be one of the front wheels. I had a Dodge vehicle that would stay lit once triggered until then computer was reset. It had to go through a bunch of ignition...

You’ll have to let us know how the lithium batteries work out. So far I’ve been running 232 AH golf cart batteries. Lithium aren’t in the budget at this time.

I’m also in BC. I’ve managed to connect with Abitibi in Victoria, but never connected when I’ve been off the rock, I’m looking forward to it though... but haven’t been going far these last 6 months. One day though. I figure I owe him some beer. :D

I’ve seen many write ups on drilling extra holes in the door to mount that style of mirrors. I’d go for it and mount the d/s mirror also:

We don’t see rust free in these parts. My body is essentially, but I’d be thrilled to have a frame that clean. Keep a close eye on those rear shackles. They like to crack and break in half. I was lucky to not sustain any significant body damage on my type 3, but I don’t think you’d be so...

I feel your pain... there were 7 years of contractor grime in my Ambo when I started. I didn't have a pressure washer handy, so I used a hose, bucket of soapy water, and a broom. I've never worried about the leftovers from it's life as an ambulance... the 7 years of mud, electrician, landscaper...

It has sold... and not to me. Hope to see more of it from the new owner.

Looking good. I'd want to lift it more than 6" since I'm 6'4". For Dometic fridges I'd check out the Western Star truck dealership in your area, or https://www.raneystruckparts.com/searchresults.html?search_query=dometic&Search= Raneys truck is in the US, but seems to have some of the best...

Should have enough Pictures. Seem to be standard ambulance equipment... I’d say Crestline. Im going to use footman loops. I’m planning to mount mine higher to minimize stress on the upper hinges.

I’ve decided I need to get on with this... always something
