    I've custom made portholes for the front and back middle using double pane glass and frames made from starboard. I'll post pictures soon.

    2009 Chevy Medium Duty 4x4 Kodiak Ambulance conversion

    That was going to be my next option if the beads don't do it. Hey, since I've got your eyeballs. Can you pm me the details of those wheel mount dohickies you posted a while back. The ones that center the wheel when mounting. I haven't been able to find them. Also, the yellow tank is yours...

    2009 Chevy Medium Duty 4x4 Kodiak Ambulance conversion

    Tires and Wheels!! These monsters arrived last week. First problem, how to unload a 225lb tire that is 10 feet off the ground. So you think these tires will stick to the rocks? The ladder was at around 55 degrees and the tire wouldn't slide. The tires are goodyear G275's in size 335/80-20...

    2009 Chevy Medium Duty 4x4 Kodiak Ambulance conversion

    I got a wild hair and attacked all of the light holes. Got them all cut, welded, and finished in two days. It's just spray can primer and paint because I'm not a body guy and I plan to paint the truck in the next couple of years anyway. I came up with this medieval contraption to hold a...

    2009 Chevy Medium Duty 4x4 Kodiak Ambulance conversion

    I had to put in a window. It's still a bit early for them but I wanted to see some visual progress and needed to see exactly where they would go for planning purposes. Step one was to finish the light holes. The right way and hard way to do the windows is to fill and finish the light holes...

    From Freightliner ambulance to RV - we hope!

    Those look nice. I'm curious to hear how well the side ones work. Would it be feasible to get rid of the side mirrors with these cameras? My mirrors are so huge I'm worried about losing them either in Mexico or a narrow bridge.

    Ambulance switch labeling ideas or solutions

    Next switch question. For those of you who have moved switches without using the original backing plate. How did you mount them? The tolerance is very tight on the existing mount. I think the most frustrated I've gotten thus far is when I pulled two of the switches out of that aluminum...

    Thanks Bob. Do you know what model or version of rocker switches we have so I can match them. I guess yours may be different if it's not a wheeled coach.

    Great idea and nice job. Looks good up there. Don't you love it when these inspirations hit you and even better when they work out.

    Good find. Seems like a good deal. If I can't source more of the "stock" switches I'll go this route. Thanks.

    Ambulance switch labeling ideas or solutions

    I have a label maker but I want something that will look factory and fit the switch exactly. I'm leaning towards clear acrylic printer medium. I found a place that will even make the little labels to size. With some work I should be able to print what ever I want on each label. Samples are...

    Ambulance switch labeling ideas or solutions

    Thanks for the suggestion. That was my next stop if I didn't get any good ideas here. I've got a sample set of label "paper" coming. Seems like the simple way is to make my own.

    Ambulance switch labeling ideas or solutions

    I'm installing an electric ball valve for my grey water drain. The valve has two wires. If you put positive to one wire and negative to the other it opens. The trick is that to close it you need to switch the wires. This makes it complicated (for me) to wire it up without grounding a hot...

    Ambulance switch labeling ideas or solutions

    I did my search but didn't find anything. For those fellow ambulance owners out there. I assume most of you are using the original switches like I am. If so, how are you dealing with the labels. If I use my "cot light" switch for my water pump I'd sure like the label to read water pump...
