    Introducing O'Billy - our new Type-II Ambulance

    It might not be a bad idea to head to your local RV place and get some self leveling Dicor. If you go all around the perimeter edge of your rails it'll keep water from getting to the tape and doing what water likes to do in such cases, somehow screw everything up.

    Point Five Ambo Build

    That's a cool vid Pat. An excellent demo of a poorly loaded trailer.

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    Not too concerned about them. They aren't seeing use any more severe than the average truck battery at the moment, and the old set is slated to get replaced anyway. The new ones are Marine grade AGMs meant for starting and deep draw use. The old ones will get swapped out for another set of...

    Pictures dont do it justice. That van didn't look this good when it rolled out the factory door.

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    Mucking about with batteries today and have a question for the ever present internet experts. :) I have 4 batteries. Two truck batteries and 2 house batteries. The truck batteries are less than a yr old, the house batteries (old truck batteries) I am unsure of. All group 31, the 2 sets...

    Mid-priced seat covers?

    I bought Coverkings for my Tacoma CC. The back seat fit like a freakin surgical glove. I was incredibly impressed. I was equally impressed at how poorly the fronts fit. I mean so bad I checked the tags thinking they must have sent me front covers for a VW bus or something, but the tags...

    Interior build costs...

    Yeah, it seems ridiculous. I bought a brand new 33' camper and only paid 18k for the whole thing. Niche markets like this cater to limited clientele and expert that small customer base to make them successful and put their kids through college. Look at the prices for the M416 style build...

    Ambulance Conversion - New Modifications.

    Ok, besides the yelling, what's your point? Everything I posted above still applies. Most airbags in this type of application top out at 100psi. Most does not necessarily mean all, hence my post above about doing your own research, because you're the one with the stuff.

    Ambulance Conversion - New Modifications.

    Dude, those things number in the gazillions with just about as many "technical specs". No one is going to be able to look at that and tell you definitively. Was it part of a kit? Email the maker. If not, what are the specs of your pump? How much pressure can it put out? How much pressure...

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    Rig ran great and made a great "edge of the hurricane" shelter. I slept fat, dumb and happy in my rock solid module and watched all those poor folks rockin n rollin in their tents, roof top or otherwise. The wind was brutal, the rain not that bad at all (imo). The vendor area was much...

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    Yeah, I'm not sure how much of a PIA it is if it runs dry but I've heard some horror stories here and there, so I dang sure wanted to avoid that. It was so close I had put it in neutral and killed it while rolling up to the pump. I didn't want it to die on its own, and it seemed to work out...

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    Dayyum shaniqua, what's that smell? It's the smell of your diesel running out of fuel with an indicated 1/8 tank still left. I knew I was pushing it getting home last night from the expo, but dangit it said 1/8 tank. Pulling away from a light I got a "chug" and thought uh oh. Pulled into...

    "Q" Flight's RB E250 Quigley Build

    How do you store it? Air is the killer, even just the air left in the empty space of the can. What I usually do is take some plastic kitchen wrap, or even a bit of plastic grocery bag, and push it down into the can right to the top of the fluid and up against the sidewall of the can. I leave...

    The Lunchbox Build... 4x4 chevy shorty van

    Probably not comparing apples to apples. Mine weighs 10.5k, but it's an E350 4x converted Ambulance camper conversion with a bunch of heavy crap added.

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    Here's my Booty-Fab Bob front bumper mod. I seriously doubt this will last but I'm not sure. I've never painted chrome before. It doesn't really matter since it's only a temp thing anyway because I plan to replace it with a semi-diy MOVE bumper. That one will get painted the right way, well...

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    Pretty sure it's some kind of hard plastic. It was stuck on with some kind of sticky gooey foamy kind of stuff.
