I'm currently traveling in the Ambulance with my dog Dino in Honduras. We're on a trip from California to Costa Rica and back.
We've been on the road for 8 months and visited 7 countries thus far. most of my documentation has been through instagram and instagram stories, join me @vanlife_ian_dow_travels / vanlife_ian_dow_travels to follow our journey. I'll also try to post more videos on youtube.

VERY impressed. Beautiful craftsmanship throughout. Well designed - except for absence of a toilet.

Lots of ingenuity and hard work went into this ambulance. In the process of buying an ambulance now, and I hope no copyright infringement, but I'm stealing some of these ideas. Thanks for the tour. Cheers!

Great set up. Probably the best i've seen in this kind of car and space. I live on a 27 feet sailboat my self, kylix 27, most people think it's too small, especially in Denmark, where they need at least 100 sq.m. each. But i love my boat. I'm 193 cm, 50 years old, and I don't understand the need of a huge apartment or house that just demands a lot of energy use.

@fivestarmaniac 6 лет назад
Jan Sveen hi Jan, thank you for the complement. I almost did the boat thing as I've grown up near a harbor and have a mooring there. I once owned a 1948 42ft Anglmen built wooden ketch but ended up giving her away to backpack the world. I love my ambulance but dream of life at sea often. One of these days I'll sail away for a year in the South Pacific with my only worry being in the wind. I think you're right about not needing so much space, the ambo has proven to be enough for me and much easier to take care of than 100sqm home

Two things, the more converted ambulances I see, the more I think they are better than van or class b+ RVs in terms of enough space, but not too big, and that table is the best RV table I have ever seen, custom or manufacturer!
@fivestarmaniac
@fivestarmaniac 5 лет назад
I agree, it’s a huge rig but fits in a normal parking space. The table, like most everything in my rig is very custom and built my my father and I.

It looks like if you want a diy RV get a box type ambulance. It has everything you'll need (heat, air, insulation, storage, electrical, ect... ), just build and install anything else you feel is needed and enjoy. ;-) I'd add some solar to supplement any power needs.
@fivestarmaniac
@fivestarmaniac 5 лет назад
i didn't have the money for solar when i did my build but it's for sure the best way to go
@TairnKA
@TairnKA 5 лет назад
I saw a video on using a Tesla battery pack (4"? x 18"? x 30"?) versus regular batteries that are heavier, cost more and are less capable (powerful). The biggest drawback is setting it up, if the other components aren't compatible and especially the heat monitoring system settings (in pack and around it) are wrong you can kill the battery pack, or worse have a fire that's nearly impossible to put out.

I saw the video again. Truly beautiful woodwork with inlaid wood strips. Loved the foldout table, the compact kitchen with the subway tile, and the layout. Every cabinet door is well made. Entire van is so functional. I've done a lot of remodeling on my van too but no videos yet. If you are ever in the San Jose area, let me know. I would love to see this van for myself and absorb some of your talents.

Nice to see someone with an appreciation for timber and the finer nuances of interior decor do one of these. Magnets are such a great idea! Utilising a hammock is a no brainer in these things, though I rarely see it. AC is the crown. Beautiful!

That was cool. So many are spotless when you're walked through them. This was just how the guy rolls. No frills. Not my thing, but that woodwork he done himself was impressive. I wouldn't have used the space like that personally, but it is perfect for him. And that foldout/swingout table was brilliant. 👏 Bravo, mate.

Never seen a magnetic dish rack that's an idea. Also sleeping in a hammock (when you feel like setting it up) instead of a bed, not bad. Thank you for the tour. I appreciate it since I decided to vanlife about 3 weeks ago. Just looking at different options for now to see what's for me. It's probably going to be an ambulance conversion.
