I appreciate your build and had a good laugh throughout with the humorous commentary from both of you. Licking the spoon in response to those criticizing your placement of the utensil drawer was the icing on the cake!

@TeamWiff Год назад

Thanks! We wanted it to be authentic as well as entertaining. We’re glad you enjoyed it.

@dannylay7965 2 месяца назад

That part was nasty. I liked the video until she did that.

@user-vm5ud4xw6n Год назад

People who gripe about your silverware being on top of the cat closet never had cats! When you have cats you don’t have a place to live. You are in their house and they don’t give a damn where the silverware is! Love your rig! I wanted to do an ambulance myself but realistically I know nothing about electronics and didn’t have the desire to fry myself when trying to mess with it. As far as the batteries go, if you tune into “Our Way to Roam” you’ll see them making their own batteries also. Great job. Love what you did with it, even if you are Marine! We’re Army! ‘Nuff said!!

@TeamWiff Год назад

Well said! Even with our knowledge and experience I still felt fried many times 😆. So glad we made it to the other side, but I totally understand not wanting to put yourself through the… experience of converting an ambulance. At times it was like cruel and unusual punishment. 😂

@julieclayton-west624 Месяц назад

@TeamWiff Год назад

Great! It's never too late, so it's awesome that your time to get out and explore is finally coming

@marybates2201 Год назад

Haha, iv'e not come across anyone reffering themselves as "high class hobbos" before. I loved your home, and your wit and sarcasm were brilliant. Most Amercians do not understand sarcasm or so we English tend to believe. Where as us, Brits are masters of it. So it was really good seeing you were not the stereo type. Brilliant video.

@joanies6778 2 месяца назад

I enjoy the dry wit and sarcasm, too.

@Qwazier3 10 месяцев назад

Personalized van/bus type builds are WAY better than anything the RV business puts out. You made out better with your ambulance build than the 5th wheel camper.

@kentuckylucky5762 8 месяцев назад

Being a retired paramedic..there was everything in that medic unit before you got it...😅 but they do clean up nice. Best thing they are built solid😊

@stephaniemcdonald2172 Год назад

Really smart to attach the Starlink. I watched another gal who had to leave a camp site in a hurry due to shots fired, & hers was set out away from her RV for best reception. She had to wait until the cops showed up to retrieve them. I also love that you kept a door between the cab & the back. If things get weird & you need to leave fast, you can just go. Thanks for sharing. I learn something new every time I watch one of these.

Your description of the brakes in the mountains is something ive never heard mentioned before. Having had those problems in the Rockies it makes an ambulance even more interesting

@element-dh9dx 10 месяцев назад

cool ambulance, it's awesome that no matter what anyone does personally with their van, someone always has at least one compartment that needed to be eliminated. I am a single person, so I think I can get away with a smaller bed, maybe even a hammock. Ambulances are always very well setup, because it's an ambulance after all

@bjadvanturz Год назад

Mooch Docking. I love that. We have a converted ambulance also, but if we were to it again that is the vehicle we would like to start with. "My body is almost twice my age" cracked me up!

@bdorr 26 дней назад

Thoroughly enjoyed the walk around/through. Your intelligent yet sometimes comical communication skills kept me locked into watching the whole video from start to finish. Thank you sir, for your service to our country. Thank you both, also, for sharing this part of your lives with others so that we may dream, be inspired and enjoy your way of life vicariously. Great video, great build.

@tyson1fan487 Год назад

This is Wheel Estate!!! At it's finest!! This is one of the best builds. You have some room unlike most Van's and you guys thought of everything. I've watched tons of builds and channels in general and this is definitely one of the best.

@TeamWiff Год назад

Wheel estate.. i love it! Thanks so much, after living in it so long we've come up with tons of ways to improve it once we have some extended down time, so maybe one day down the road we'll film an update tour.

@Rusty.1776 Год назад

I don't know y'all. I had never even seen one of your videos till now, and I feel like I could travel across country with y'all anytime. And that's NOT like me! I love what y'all did with your rig and the hobo ballin life on the road. Thank you for being such light-hearted, fun and funny people. It's a bit of a weird concept watching people I've never met traveling and living out of a retired ambulance, but y'all got me hooked. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

@TeamWiff Год назад

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's kind of a weird concept too for us to record our lives and share it with the world. Still not used to it after 5 years, but the nice folks that we interact with and even inspire make it all worth it!

@barrygalbraith1836 11 месяцев назад

Love the unit, you guys did a great job. Like you said, many other units are more pretty but that's not what real life is all about. I was not in the military but loaded up with many major surgeries with screws, plates, couplings, etc, literally, head to toe. This caused me to go on disability. I picked up an older van for small maintenance jobs and in the near future to take some vacations. Make the best of what you have and have fun doing so. Great video

@joeglennaz 9 месяцев назад

Hello from phoenix, Arizona. I just wanted to say a great video. Thanks for sharing your ride with us. Congratulations on doing your own battery. That’s very cool. I laughed when you said to make sense of all this who ha. One last thing I trust you have a personal locator beacon. You never know you just cannot depend on cell phones. This is an area I’ve done a lot of research him. And I don’t mean a satellite communicator I mean a true personal locator beacon that has full power of 5 Watts. This can make a difference if you need to get out a signal from deep in a canyon or you’re under a snow covered tree canopy plus there’s no monthly fee. I use the brand a CR. Stay safe

@sharplyopinion8ted249 Год назад

1st time viewer but now a subscriber as well. That was as thorough a walk through tour as I've seen in years with the straight forwardness being unique and refreshing. The "let's be honest there was probably blood in those cabinets at some point" had me sitting here sayin' hell yeah! You knew what you needed to make yourselves happy and that is all that matters. excellent use of space and prebuilt spaces that probably saved you a lot of time. Great job, wonderful build and now to watch some more vids from this channel. Stay safe!

@exmedic4509 11 месяцев назад

First, thank you for your service, sir. The fact you showed you home as "lived-in" is a plus for all those who want to do something like this. Looking at the use of scrap materials to save money is what people do in order to have reserve cash to have fun. I have a huge scrap wood cart full of pieces of wood waiting for me to use. Great video and great conversion of an ambulance. Having worked in the back of box and van ambulances for most of my career and being 6'3" I can appreciate every little bit of height you can get.

@jerideloughary5609 11 месяцев назад

I think your build is AWESOME. I'm like you... I built all my own. And even my friends that spent THOUNDS of dollars... I still had better and camped longer without having to go to town or shopping.. I was the only one with power and or air-conditioned after a massive storm blowout. Ohya and I had satellite TV and computer because I put in surge protection.! And I didn't have all this gas generator running that campgrounds don't allow. And like you no one would help me with anything !! But they sure wanted me to set them up. I usually said NO. OR I charged more for the work then the shop did. And I got called ?? Lol... Your one of those....! I still don't know what that means. But I will get the T shirt if one more person tells me that "OH YOUR ONE OF THOSE " !!!! Have fun I know I will. See you o. The road some time. Happy Traveling...

My favorite tour guides! As a retired Respiratory Therapist, I've spent 30 years having to ride backwards in ambulances bagging patients to larger facilities with all kinds of blood, guts, and gore, especially puke, in these rigs! A little litter dust is nothing! Plus, I have a cat rescue and I'm proud to say I never had to participate in bringing a dish to pass at night shift parties at the hospital! Cool couple, great, functional rig! Edit: I had so much with thus, I subbed, liked, and hit the bell! Was I a good girl? Lol!

I’ll join your group and shall follow you on RU-vid. Thank you for sharing your lives with us strangers. I appreciate that as I’m severely dissuade in wheelchair and oxygen 24/7 so I don’t get out much anymore but I used to take my kids camping under a tarp tied to our station wagon years ago and miss that sitting around the fire.
