Seems like that Ambo thing is contagious! Congrats on your new toy and make sure to start a thread with some pictures!
I hear you on how you want to go ahead with your build. The electrical can be quite scary but it's usually well done and easy enough to figure. If you're not comfy playing with this then it's time to get some sparky friends to help you out. Might as well do it right the first time!
At first I was thinking of reusing as much of the original electrical circuits as possible. Now that I started cleaning it up I'm thinking to remove as much as needed and relocate out of the way (top corner/ceiling).
Since my wife has me slaving on house reno's and have hardly anytime for the AmbuLand I decided to spoil myself a little
It took me a while to find one within driving distance but it's finally in my shop. Bought this Autohome Airtop from an old fellow in Portland who only used it for 7 days before putting it for sale. At first I was looking for a white one (for cooling effect) but I figure this one was like new and the color shouldn't be an issue here in Canada. Plus I'm now thinking it will actually look better than white once mounted on the roof.
The plan is to permanently glue the RTT on the top and cut an opening in the ambo roof/tent's floor, similar to a Westy. It will be great for additional headroom, great ventilation in the summer plus sleeping pad for the kids. I was specifically looking for an Airtop as there's no crank involved, just gas struts that pops up so I'll be able to easily open it from the inside.
In the mean time I'll mount it on my Patrol and make good use of it until I'm further ahead with this project.
My wife mentioned wanting to visit the East Coast next summer or so, that got me thinking of a visit to Chris shop instead of shipping all the parts this way
food for thought!
Cheers
Mr. D
