VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Jana jumped into life on the road by purchasing an ambulance on eBay. She flew up to Maryland to pick up the ambulance and got the true road life experience. Shortly after hitting the road, she broke down but was soon back up and running again. Since then, she has been off to the races with her conversion. In this video, she shares her insights to her DIY build as well as some very good information on traveling as a solo female.

Ambulance conversions have really been popular over the last year. I was looking to bid on one and it went for $9.6k! Are you considering one of these over a camper van?

@shaz_khiaruiz4795 3 года назад

@may.africa 3 года назад

so, how much did you buy ths ambulance, and how much did it cost you for the renovation?

@pamm5287 3 года назад

Yes, I certainly have. What a beautiful build. Hate that I missed the live stream. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Have a blessed & spectacular Sunday.🤗❤🙏🏼

@davidwildsmith2832 3 года назад

Hey, Jan! Great Work! FYI: What you have is NOT a former Ambulance. Although it was constructed by Wheeled Coach, an Ambulance manufacturer. The exterior white over red, (not pink,just sun bleached) paint job gives it away. What you have is an First or Second generation out-of-service American Red Cross ERV, or Emergency Response Vehicle. There's a way to determine which is which. If it runs on Gasoline, it's a First Generation. If it runs on Diesel, it's a Second Generation.You said there was a Chair at that window. That was a Service Window where one of the 2 Volunteer Drivers sat & dispensed Coffee or hot chocolate, or Lemonade or Iced Tea, depending the season. They either dispensed sandwiches, donuts or hot food to first responders and disaster victims, at either a local or National disaster.

@unexpectedparolemadwerewol6565 3 года назад

That would explain the more open interior than I expected. And the lack of lots of medical inserts we usually see. Still pretty close though.

@TangoNinerSix 3 года назад

David you are correct. Are you with Red Cross or used to be?

@nanachick05 3 года назад

That is exactly what it is! I drove them for over 15 years and was an ERV instructor. Know those vehicles very well. I do love what she did to it.

@kimkuchler4389 2 года назад

I just lost my husband on July 4, 21. We were planning on traveling but he passed before we could go. I’m seriously thinking an ambulance is perfect for me to travel in by myself. Thank you for the inspiration! Maybe once everything calms down and finances are worked out I’d love to meet you. I can have my Kimbulance!😁

@cenedraleaheldra5275 3 года назад

Love the inside. The outside still looks stealth. Ceiling is high. Great build

@oklahomaisok Год назад

Wow there’s a full-size cookstove with an oven! So many tiny houses only have a small cooktop & no oven (or else they have a small microwave or convection oven)..this is impressive. She has made this ambulance tiny home very functional and cozy. Very creative build.

@501badgirl501 3 года назад

This is definitely one of the best ambulance builds I’ve seen thus far. I have worked as a Paramedic on an ambulance for the last 36 years. The thought of living in one full time has made me cringe...until now. This rig has a really great chill, homey vibe to it. Well done ! I’m off to follow on IG now :)

@lapislazarus8899 3 года назад

I miss my hammock chair. It was hung on my back porch, I had a huge garden with chickens and everything. I lived next to the air force base. I'd be in the veggies & at 5pm they'd play the national anthem. I'd sit in my hammock at night, then at 9pm they'd play taps. I'd leave for work too early to catch revelry in the morning.

@aliciabrewer9444 3 года назад

I absolutely love the shower. A shower would be a "must have" for me if I traveling/living in a ambulance, skoolie, or van build. I love how she used the resin to make the floor & walls for a shower. Great idea! And the colors used for it is really pretty. This build is one of the best I've seen so far.

@islandvibes9076 3 года назад

I really liked the build. Nice work! Teaching aerial yoga, living in St. Thomas, and being able to take a year off from work - I can't be the only person who's wondering how she can afford the build and living this lifestyle. Respect, Jan.

@bernocuti4876 3 года назад

What she did mention that she sold her house maybe that's how..

@Janbulance 3 года назад

That’s a great question. I’m a teacher first. I teach aerial yoga on the side. In preparation for my sabbatical I balanced 5 jobs to save up. My original plan was to travel internationally and work with artists and other instructors. When Covid developed, my path shifted. Here I am!

@lmoree00 3 года назад

Some of these individuals have a lot of savings that they don't necessarily mention.

@darlenemoak63 3 года назад

I also suspect she lives frugally. Nothing in that build is extravagant in the least. Very practical. Except maybe the solar set-up. The only thing that potentially bothers me a little bit is that her gas mileage can't be wonderful but I think she balances that by using solar power.

@cyndib3587 3 года назад

@@darlenemoak63 400 watts of solar? I have 200 watts (bare minimum), same charge controller, not sure inverter size for her. Probably $600 total.

@lass-inangeles7564 3 года назад

Lovely build and you are so cute! Some tips: 1. Shower pan is a must. Eventually it will leak and wood may rot out. Plastic or metal but please get one. 2. Loctite Rust Neutralizer from Lowes is a nice spray can to have for pesky rust spots. Spray on rust and it will bond to metal and stop rusting. 3. I would add a litter box door. Walmart sells DAMP RID small gel packs for cat litter room. 4. If you want nice curtain tracks try IKEA. Ceiling or wall mount. Shirring tape and drapery pins also at IKEA. Very smart to use an ambulance. Best vehicle there is. You did a fantastic job inside - very functional, full bath, kitchen, bed, very well done! I have some questions: What mpg does this van give you? Was it easy to unhook existing metal cabinets from the wall?

@galadethlaernis6266 3 года назад

Hi! Does Loctite Rust Neutralizer work on vehicles? Have an old truck! Thanks for the tips!

@lass-inangeles7564 3 года назад

@@galadethlaernis6266 Sure, it works with everything, except BBQs where it will just burn off and high heat paint is needed, With cars you have to remove all the rust with an angle grinder and wire brush cup or rotary Dremel tool and tiny wire brush. Then spray this or dab it on from a can. If you want to paint the whole truck, use bedliner paint (in any color you want) like Durabak and a roller brush, no need to spray it. There is a RU-vid video on this too. Comes out beautifully and is very durable. Don't expect a high gloss finish, just a satin sheen.

@nonstophorizon 3 года назад

The Janbulance... LOVE it! Great conversion, btw. Happy travels! I loved how your story reminded me of something I had to learn when I learned how to let go and just be. When you mention the fact that you stalled but ended up having everything you needed to get going again, it's funny how things just work out on the road. Just have to relax and, instead of sensationalizing the issues, we just calmly assess the issue and go for it head on. Keeping a clear head tends to make it possible to more quickly find solutions and implement them. Good luck on your journey!

What a lovely ambulance home. Very nice job, Jana. At 16:56 - that little trick you used with rubber hose/ pipe cut to size to make a grommet for that shower tube hole is genius. I had to cut a grommet in my battery box which is right under a wheel well and it sprays rain water now inside the battery box. Could not find a matching grommet, but this is a really smart idea. Will try it. Thanks for sharing this small detail!

I purchased an ambulance a year ago and I am starting the building plan to get all systems packed into it that I want as I plan to also be in cold climates, as well as, warmer climates. I took a few trips in it this past year and am learning the drive terrain (computer operated) along with what I want to be in the campulance. I plan to keep it as a stealth RV, but I did remove the AMBULANCE labeling and named my rig BULA. So, if you see me on the road, please give me a holler; I enjoy meeting people and sharing traveling experiences. I’m building out of northwest Iowa and plan to change things up to be able to travel more in the next year or two 😊

@karensawyer3639 3 года назад

Bravo!!( p.s. I have 3 older cats that r MY fur children, & I am considering how to incorporate them in my upcoming adventure!

Looks like you've done a good job building out a nice conversion that works for you! I know it may not mean anything on the grand scheme of things, and you may already know it, but your vehicle is an ex-American Red Cross Disaster Response Vehicle, not designed or built to be an ambulance or used as an ambulance. These were built by Wheeled Coach which coincidently is an ambulance manufacturer in Florida. Also, this wasn't meant to be a negative comment because I like what you did with it.
