New here - just got an Ambulance....

When you know just what you need, post it here and it might be something that one of us has surplus. Most of us wind up yanking all the medical gear.

Sounds good, thank you!

Here is a picture from the first trip:

Not sure how to rotate that....... the original picture comes up the right way, but it gets turned when I post it here......

Cool rig. Seems like you've found just wha you need.

 

[patoz]

Any updates on this build?

 

[Dirtfarmer515]

Not a lot yet, in the process of building a shop, just about done with it! We're taking it to Florida in February. It'll be the first thing on my list when I get the shop done, hopefully be moved in within two weeks.

Best of luck! Always remember the folks on this site can often lend a hand if you run into problems.

Where in Florida? If you'll be going through Pensacola, drop a note to "PATOZ" - maybe you and he could grab a cuppa coffee.

By all means, if you come this way shoot me a PM and I'll meet you some place! :coffeedrink:

We made it down and back in good shape, just an alternator issue, but got it resolved.

We're headed to Yellowstone in August, I'd still like to cut some windows in the side and put a wheelchair lift in the side double doors. Any tip's on the windows would be appreciated, there are a lot of vertical supports on the side walls to work around or cut and modify to get windows to fit!

Glad your trip went well!

Here is an older thread I found very informative, which discusses various windows that may be of help to you. It also has a lot of links to different products.

A good window supplier is Cleer Vision Windows (https://www.cleervision.com/). They make windows for RVs and also ambulances, and they can supply frames for many different wall thicknesses

 

[Dirtfarmer515]

Thanks for the info! I was thinking one on the passenger side above the bench seat and maybe one on the drivers side above the CPR seat:

Both locations are very common for windows. I have Cleer Vision in my ambulance, and I know Braun
Ambulance uses them.

Do any of those clear visions come with screens? I see on their site they claim models used in the RV industry, which usually have screens, but they make no mention about it.
