re different rules about what you must remove by state: My understanding is that other states don't have to honor your state's rules. So, if your state says you're legal with having red flashers on it, but your neighbor state doesn't, you can still be ticketed in the neighbor state. It really...

Technically what you have to remove varies by state. I would suggest that removing the "ambulance" words and the star of life are absolutely necessary. I'm pretty sure (but haven't checked all the states) that you don't actually have to remove the lights. Some states say you can't have red...

In my case it was explicitly acknowledge by Progressive that it is an ambulance. So legally they'll have to cover it. I may have to go to court to force the issue, but... After what I've gone through I can't recommend buying one. It's a total crap shoot if you'll get insured or not and it has...

The holes... they're getting pretty demoralizing. We've made so many holes. Drilled through that. Cut through the other. Jigsawed this... just... holes holes holes. Holes for propane pipes. Holes for electrical wiring. Holes for stoves. Holes for cabinets. Holes for cat flaps. All the freaking...

Can't stop making holes We set to work on the cat box / heater / grey water compartment. At the heart of it is a backwards "h" shaped "box" thing [I'll get you a picture after it's installed]. The litter box will be on top. The Propex will be below with air tubes going out through the right...

Lots of progress since our last update. We realized that instead of a complicated bit of routing on the underside of the nice wood counter to accommodate the bump around the sink, we could instead route down into the existing evil blue counter and simply drop the sink farther into it...

Today we had to drive to Troy NY for Dachary's 4th eye exam (don't ask) which resulted in us killing time in a mall (I'm Kay so... ) and Dachary... FINALLY getting a final prescription. Unlike everyone else who gets old, her eyes are getting better as she ages. Before that though, I went...

that's... far too obvious a solution. No. we must do something far more obtuse. ?‍♂️ Sigh. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I've been up in that hole with the lights already. Thanks.

hey @Ozrockrat, what kind of vent is that? We think the cross beams on our frame are appoximately 12 inches apart which means none of the standard vents will fit (they're all 14") I've found a solution, that doesn't involve hacking the bars but I'm not thrilled with it. Did you have to cut...

Interesting. Thanks for the suggestion. We're not too late to switch, and "a straight replacement" sounds awfully convenient, but I'm not a big fan of the whole aesthetic of these or the originals. Honestly we don't need more things to do but... We went with these dimmable, small disk ones. The...

That's nice and compact. We don't expect to be in it AND on shore power very much. The Propex will only sip fuel and power so I think we're just going to use that one it's in.

Yay LED. I assume you mean headlights? That's the only place we have halogens.

Today we attempted to finish the fridge install. First we plugged in an electric heater to shore power because it's barely above freezing outside. Then I stuck my head in a box, and reached around under a board and drilled a hole into the fridge compartment for the 12v power to run through...

I agree about them being a great starting place (except for the exit angle), and the live edge helping to make it homey @Pangle . We really hate how sterile they are when you get them. It's good when it's a working ambulance but... ugh. I think part of the reason we were willing to spend the...

I like the inside / outside shower @Bodon68 Can you stand up in it? It looks like it's not a full-height cabinet. That cabinet is full height for us and it's where I just cut the hole for the fridge. We're not willing to give up much space to a bathroom. Currently we have a porta-potty in a...

I think @Bikersmurf is probably right, that 5'6" is probably the practical height. It's technically taller than that. 72 or 74 inches I think. The problem is You have the grab rails on the ceiling, and in the PL Customs I have a channel that hangs down maybe four inches down the center from...

bah... nevermind just saw your new post.

ooh, are there pictures of your shower? I just went over to the road rescue site and the inside looks pretty similar.

That day wasn't kind to Dachary's back. In the days since, she's been stuck spending much of it in bed, or her comfy chair, with her back somewhere between "ow" and "oh god why?!" I was a little lost without her to point me in the right direction, so one rainy day we sat down and made a three...

The jig didn't work. The hinge was too bumpy and it was too much of a pain to try and put something under it, and we were frustrated enough with spending all that time on it that we didn't want to do the modifications we know we need to do to make it usable in the future. So, we chopped off...
