DIY ambulance camper conversion | Electrical system | 4x4 ambulance 

Thank you so much for sharing information and your experience 👌🏻👍🏻 i want buy used ambulance 🚑 but i scared for wiring 😁🤯

I'm in the overwhelmed stage.... just trying to add new outlets off old boxes and put in different locations. 🙄 1999 Ford E350 7.3

Nice rig I'm jealous , I just bought 2003 ambulance and need a solor sysyem, any of your fire house friends do solor ??

Big job and very interesting to see the wiring cabinet. You explained one thing very clearly - that the two batteries are connected to both cab and house areas and run both places. What I understood is this: Traditional RVs have 1 engine battery that runs the cab AC, cab lights, Headlights, tail lights, radio, etc. This is charged from the engine alternator factory installed. When you stop the engine, the engine battery stops charging. The house area is run by 1 or more batteries, separate from the engine. There may be an isolator wire charging the house batteries from the engine or giving the engine battery a boost from the house battery if dead, but that is all. The house batteries run the fridge, roof AC, house lights, stove, inverter outlets, toilet, fans, etc. House batteries need a separate charging system such as solar power, shore power, or second alternator (while driving), or generator. An ambulance is meant to run both cab and house. The only way to do this, without shore power, solar power or generator, is via the alternator. Hence it needs to idle to have power to all these devices. There is an engine battery with high cold cranking power, but that just starts the engine. Most other functions are supported by the two house batteries, including the dash AC, cab lights, cab radio, etc. All running on the house batteries - typically two AGM type. Therefore, when converting an ambo to an RV, you must first unhook all cab functions on the house batteries, and ensure they are hooked on the engine battery. This includes dash AC. Then you install a separate AC for house side, wire it to the house side to run on generator/shore power, or even batteries if you have massive solar or two alternators. This means you have to know what runs on the cab side typically and ensure it is wired to cab. What runs on house side and ensure it is not shared by cab but separate. Good to know. Let me know what I got wrong.

That's cool, minr is called the Vanbulance

Hello Happy and Willow. Hershe & I are sending you our love! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍🤎❣️💕💞💓💗💖💘💝💟

Wow that’s a lot of electrical wires.

I am enjoying your build, You do a very nice job explaining what you are doing, why you are doing it, and where you are heading with it. all with a little bit of humor.

Awesome brother!!!

Nice video! Where did you find your window?

You are brave!!!!! That’s a whole lotta wire🤯Keep up the good work👍🏻

Badass!

how would you find the builder of the box? thanks for all the help!

The manufacturer of my ambulance is no longer around

That was interesting. Some great ideas for a build I'm looking at next year. Thank you. Keep it coming👍👍👍

I would sure like to talk with Jimmy, he knows his stuff about that solenoid and how the board is powered. I've got two solenoids on panel and don't understand them. Is there a way to get hold of Jimmy?

Man. Is there a way to contact you guys through emal or facebook or something for some advice? Im not looking for any free help, just some advice or something im just not familiar with auto electronics. Im an audio technician so this is a foreign concept to me and i dont wanna fry the whole system. Me and my wife have about two months before this is where we will have to live so im getting really antsy about something i know hardly anything about
