I spent 1 year building this 1991 M997 FLA into a overlanding camper! My Dad and I had a fun adventure getting the humvee back to the shop and building it out together. It took a lot of blood sweat and tears but we got it done and are beyond stoked on the way it turned out!

@Roaming Ventures I spent 24 years of my life serving this country in the US Navy as a Seabee, so I can tell you for a fact, this is BADASS!!!!

@armymedic0001 4 месяца назад

Ooooh, how I envy you. I was a Combat Medic in Iraq 2003-2004 and I drove a hummer ambulance. I always thought of how cool it would be to convert one into a camper and here you are. My ambulance when thru hell. The soldiers in my unit made a fake Purple Heart for my ambulance for all the bullet hits and fragmentation damage from the roadside bombs (IED’s) we survived. Unfortunately I gat injured on a mortar attack on July 2003 but, I recuperated and went back to do my job. That same night other 3 Combat Medics gat injured in firefights. Looks like it was a hunting Medics night. I wonder how many soldiers made it back home alive thanks to that ambulance. Take of it. She took good care of us. Happy camping.

Thank you for your Service! That’s an amazing story and love stories like yours. I wish I knew more of the backstory of this one considering it’s 30+ years old

Hi! and its an honor to have serve my country I believe if you can find the NSN (national stock number) in vehicle, you can track the history of service, locations and repairs. Take care and enjoy life.

So jealous of your build, I've had the same desire for the retired hummer ambulance. Love what you have done. Great job. What do you think about adding an awning on the rear or sides?

@sethrich5998 4 месяца назад

@@armymedic0001That’s not what an NSN number is. An NSN isn’t individually unique like a VIN, it’s like a part number. It’s just a standardized numbering system given to designate types of things in the supply chain. For example the M997 HMMWV (NA) TRUCK AMBULANCE has the NSN 2310-01-111-2274. They all have the same NSN for that model, not different ones individually.

@cagneybillingsley2165 2 месяца назад

if the maintenance isn't too bad, i can see this or something similar as a better solution than a house in the modern economy and unstable society. as for shower, there's always homeless shelters, ymca, gyms, and truck stops

I hear you brother, I was also a 91B that is what Combat Medics were before it changed to 68 whiskey, I was actually in the last class of Bravo's @FT Sam it changed to Whiskey half way through AIT. I actually spent the end of my career as a DMT Dive Medic. FTX's, range details, convoys, liter lanes, motor pool and PMCSing. I have spent countless hours in the back of the M997. 1999-2021 OIF,OEF,OND Iraq joint bass Ballad(North of Baghdad) Deployed and upgraded to the Shit Strikers then to my own medic MRAP which saved my 6. That said I always wanted to do this to the M997 I see them for sale on some gov sites from time to time. TheHIVEDIVE what are the numbers on the conversion? I am interested to do the same!! Great video by the way. Lastly to all my Brothers and Sisters in Arms past, present and future GOD BLESS!!

Finally I've found a guy who has toilet and shower in his campervan. There are tons of videos on YT with camper builds without toilet. And even more without shower. They use most of space for big kitchen and all unnecessary stuff, and they don't have a place to $hit of wash themselves. Great job! You've earned a new subscriber!

@Lohkay 3 месяца назад

Depends on what is your goal. Where I go, I'm always alone so I don't mind washing myself in a lake or a river. If that isn't available, my outside shower does just fine. As for the toilet, it's really only for #1 at night, anything should be done outside.

@roamingventures 3 месяца назад

Yes!! Thank you

@pauliewalnuts240 3 месяца назад

At one point I was basically homeless living out of my car. If you dont have the luxuries of a home (bed, kitchen, toilet, water, fridge, etc) some of the "campers" I see are closer to glorified homeless mobiles. It gets old needing to constantly use public bathrooms, cook outside, shower outside, etc. After all, these are for traveling so your on the road often. I would install a shower and toilet as well as the other necessities (although I'm unfamiliar with the compost toilet thing). This is undoubtedly the best platform for transforming into a usable, true little rv.

@rogerward3185 4 месяца назад

It looks really nice and the guy restoring seems like a good guy - if i was doing that build id look at ways to raise the ceiling oof rather than just cutting a strip out the middle. If you plan on going to humid locations youd be surprised how much more tolerable it is witg some added airflow between your head and roof. 😅 One place tiny home and overland \ vanlifers alike would do well to steal ideas from for their builds are boat interiors. There you'll see how maximised space and storage options have been refined to a fantastic level not just for aesthetics but for function. Anyways thanks for posting and sharing ❤

To begin, your decision to buy a Humvee is awesome, the way it looks make you think it is sturdy and secure. Next, the use of the space is smart, knowing the limit of space you had and finally adding some gadgets is cool, it makes it seem higher quality amenities. I think that is something I would never get tired of.

@warlocksgolddust2846 4 месяца назад

Picture this: The sun is setting, casting a warm glow over the rugged terrain as the Humvee camper navigates through rocky trails and dense forests. With its powerful engine and sturdy build, the Humvee effortlessly tackles the off-road challenges ahead. Inside the camper, you're comfortably seated, enjoying the thrill of the adventure while surrounded by all the essentials for a memorable camping experience. Whether it's climbing steep inclines or fording shallow streams, the Humvee camper is up for the task, providing you with the ultimate off-road getaway. Would love to see a video like this...

I see served in Iraq with a medical unit in 2003 and always thought the Humvee ambulances would make excellent campers.
