we have a 2007 crestline but we learnt a lot from your build. But hey an ambulance is built way well any way.

On a tundra 2021 , installing a GFC , do I have to change my suspension ?

Hey just found your channel. I just spent 3 days trying to pull two cabinets out. a lot of stripped hidden screws. Finally got mad and pulled them with tractor and loader. That made short work of it. Where did your mystery wires end up going?

Hopefully doing something similar within the next few months, same with the cabover. Should be a nice welding project to keep the hands busy =p

Yes! We're actually selling it if you're interested. Our family is growing and we need something bigger - we're sad to see it go. The listing for the Khaya is in the description box of the video :)

So far this is my favorite camper setup. Question though, how do the kids get ventilation in that bottom bed if the door is closed?
@happybonesfamily
@happybonesfamily 4 месяца назад
Hello! If it's hot, we keep the back door open with the bug net zipped shut. If it's cold and the heater is on, we open the small "hatch" door for heat to rise and air to move.

Dry weight on base Khaya is 880 lbs., your payload is 1180. With people, fuel, gear, and accessories to the camper, you are very overweight. Not being an ass but that is unsafe.
@happybonesfamily
@happybonesfamily 5 месяцев назад
We upgraded the suspension to old manu emu heavy and added airbags which made it ride very nicely. However, yes, we were over the factory payload.

I have a similar sized Ambo..do you have an estimate of how many quarts of the bed liner it takes to do the job? OMG literally 3 seconds after I hit play it popped up on the screen! Great job, loving the channel. Keep putting on those safety glasses. Wouldn't mind seeing the hot glue popsicle stick version-those were fantastic.

This was by far the best overview/tour of the Khaya that I’ve seen. Great job! I’ve been researching for over 18 months, and will be living on the road for 4-6 months a year, just myself. Based off of this review, I think I’m Team Khaya. I was team Canopy Camper, butttttttt…I think I’ve switched!
@happybonesfamily
@happybonesfamily 6 месяцев назад
They are both great campers! The biggest upside of the Khaya is that you can remove it quickly and keep everything assembled. FYI, we are selling ours for $28k if you are interested. We are building an ambulance for full time travel.

You guys would have been better off and more cost effective to have bought a used SWAT Command vehicle that is built like an ambulance, but has a higher roof and doesn’t infringe on the integrity of the roof structure and the safety of the box of the ambulance. The reason people buy an ambulance is for the safety of the box and the storage capacity you have. You guys just destroyed the safety of the box. I built a lot of ambulances and I will say you guys are extreme. By the time and money you guys will have invested in this used ambulance, you could have a bought a brand new SWAT vehicle that you could have done anything with and it would be new with a warranty. Guess some people just have more money than others?? Thank you for your service, as I’m a retired Army Captain. Good luck on the rest of the build. Excited to see the finished product. Happy Trails!!

Did you consider using bondo or something to cover the horizontal line between the two pieces of metal created by the roof raise? I wonder if that could be made to look like one piece of metal? Thanks! Looks great!
@happybonesfamily
@happybonesfamily 7 месяцев назад
We didn't mind the seam since there are seams in the rest of the ambulance as well...it also saved a ton of time :)
@chriswood5239

What type of aluminum channel did you use for the raise? What gauge? Thanks!
@happybonesfamily
@happybonesfamily 7 месяцев назад
1/8" aluminum that we folded into a C channel!

@5:17 You should know that people often have transmission issues when changing to LED brake lights with a 7.3 Powerstoke. The computer uses the resistance in the brake light circuit to know if you are on the brakes as to your intent to decelerate. When you add LEDs this resistance is different and things can get weird. People add resistors or some such to fix the issue, there is lots of information out there about this.
@happybonesfamily
@happybonesfamily 7 месяцев назад
Thanks for the insight! We weren't fully aware of these details and we'll be sure to look it up.

We just used a local metal supplier who cut and bent the 1/8" aluminum into a C channel.

Insane! Why buy an ambulance if you're removing everything? Should of bought a 10-12ft box truck...easier!
@happybonesfamily
@happybonesfamily 7 месяцев назад
Hello 👋 we looked into a box truck, but ambulance boxes are better built, they have the option of exterior storage, and we needed a pass through which is already built into the ambulance. Lots of other reasons too :)
