Hello! Just a few questions I has! I have and drive this lovely unit which I picked up from northern Ontario (out here in Canada).
Ambulance, 2009 E350 6.0 Diesel, it only has 33k and 120 idle engine hours.
A few big questions I've had which I've found difficult to find annnnyyywhere:
Vegetable Waste Oil setup..: I would dearly love a good idea of how to go about doing this, even how to bring it up to a local mechanic. I've been browsing around these forums and found a little bit.. links?
Insulation: How is the standard insulation in one of these? I know not all vehicles/ambulances are created equal, but its better to ask for advice before I use my sick/vacation days to find out. Does anyone know if its up to the average -10/-20 winters? Or should I be removing panels and beefing it up!
Batteries/solar: I'm fairly decent in the electrical side of things, but I have found looking for backup batteries for my rig quite annoying. Some people say anything works, other people have opposite opinions! The webbernet is great but It's also a minefield of good and misinformation . Any basic direction from ya'll who might know would be great!! I probably won't be using solar in the near future but planning ahead never hurts.
Oh, and I heard that ambulances have RPM/speed limiters? Is this something I should be looking into..
Any GENERAL advice is also appreciated!
I have lived out of tiny homes and my car before and saw this unit available through a friend and thought.. well what could go wrong..
