We made an Ultimate Material List for our ambulance build! If you are converting a van into a camper or thinking about it check out this list to know exactly what we used to convert our ambulance into a camper! ⬇ drive.google.com/file/d/1M0tzk8yEb0-dUHplorva3htOIpts6dYe/view
This is a GREAT build! I was showing my mum what people can do with an Ambo and she was floored! Thank you for this vid and the list! Yes I will be subscribing and following!
Absolutely love the details! Extra extension cord in the outside compartment, Byron’s spot inside, the shoe storage, laundry area, etc. As always, incredible build!
Love your build! We too did a dirty laundry chute which is a huge help keeping the space uncluttered. One of the things I put on our wall is a corkboard-it allowed me to hang pictures, postcards and other items from our travels and gives it a homey feel!
Awesome video, guys! I followed your build and I'm glad you guys are out enjoying it now! Just an FYI, the 3-ton jack stand you have is undersized. The 3-ton rating is for a pair of stands, so each is only 1.5 tons. They may work okay and not collapse if you are not getting under the lifted section, but I wouldn't trust anyone's life/limb to them.🙂
Good to know! But we’re never lifting the entire vehicle. Also we use those in addition to an 8 ton bottle jack. All three points of contact with the wheels chocked should be more than enough.
It looks AMAZING!!! I'm so impressed by how you thought of all the little details. I think one of my favourite things is Byron's dog house. But it's all very cool. haha
I love that you made it your own. I’ve been thinking about doing an ambulance build myself and most of what I have seen follow a very similar layout. Your build doesn’t follow how most designs are laid out and I find that very cool!
Obviously a lot of sweat equity in this project. Congratulations! Love your space but may I suggest you adding a picture of your parents on the wall! 😂🤣❤
love the build, me and my wife our talking about build out a ambo soon and we ran from oklahoma so we our thinking about putting in a mine split air conditioner, you guys should check it out, with the amount of power we our looking at putting inside we can run on low for like 2 days without any sun
Thank you Joshua! We would love to have AC especially with the recent heat waves we experienced! We would probably have to up our amount of power but would be worth it 🙌🏼
Hi Steph and Micah. I just found (this past week) your channel, Love it. I have to be one of your newest subscribers. I too have a 2003 Ford 7.3 Diesel which I am in the process of converting. What is really interesting is that my rig has basically the same outside color scheme ( two large yellow stripes and white, I love it.) as yours does. I really love that roof rack you have above the cab. I thought in one of your videos that you said (I think) that you would go into greater detail about the roof rack but I haven't come across it yet. If so, can you tell me which video that would be in and if not, can you tell me where you got it, brand name and maybe what you paid for it. I love what you two have done with yours and am in the process of binging on your videos. Love your videos, be safe and have fun. I think one of the best things I like about your videos is how down to earth you both are. You both come across as very personable, easy going and further that you don't come across as uppity or condescending. I wish you two the best.
Hey there! That's so fun that you're starting your build! Thank you for your support! As for the roof rack, we built it ourselves out of unistrut. I believe its a part of our electrical build video here -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dGD62N6SvYw.htmlsi=6sIdQmVpDl-N4RvN . All in all it probably only cost us about $300 If you ever need advice, feel free to reach out via instagram or facebook @stephandmicah. We'd be happy to help!
This is so cool! Lots of respect for building all of this and being able to live in it as well. Do you ever miss the lack of privacy in the ambulance when you’re sort of locked inside (due to bad weather or whatever)?
Thank you so much! Yes it can be difficult when it rains to be stuck inside but luckily we've been having really good weather so far so it hasn't happened too often! 🙌🏼

On hot humid nights without turning on the A/C why didn't you install a max air fan? Is the 400 w solar roof panels enough to keep your batteries topped off? Clean build...
We do have a max air fan! At night we open up a window and suck air out of the fan and it would create a nice breeze! Yes 400w is perfect for us, we never run out of electricity. Thank you :)
We have a whole series on our build and there's a part where we explained why we chose not to have an indoor shower! We initially wanted to but with our timeframe and space we ended up not doing it. It has plumbing for an indoor shower so can be added on in the future :)
Pour vrai, vous me donnez goût au minimalisme, mais who am I kidding, mon 5 1/2 est pas assez grand pour moi hahah 😅 je vais continuer à vous regarder et à rêver! Allez-vous faire une vidéo Q&A? J’ai pleins de questions! 😁
Merci Claudia!! Haha ouais c'est un mode de vie pas pour tout le monde! Oui on veut faire un Q&A bientôt! Je vais demander sur instagram pour des questions tu vas pouvoir les poster là!
They can be a little challenging but with enough patience and research I believe anyone can do it. We have a build episode about the electric system you can check out.⚡️
We were lucky and won an auction on Ebay and it came directly from the fire department, definitely look on Ebay! Check out our first video of our conversion series and you'll see how we got it! :)
Thank you! We don't have a leveler, we try to find a flat spot but if not we use our recovery track to level out! We want to get leveling block though. We don't have AC! We would love to upgrade to have one because it gets very hot sometimes!
Hi George! We went through all the original wiring one by one and took out anything we didn't need. It was very time consuming but the best option for us as it takes a lot of space in the ambulance! If you watch our first couple videos of our ambulance build you'll see a little bit of that process! :) Good luck!
I have LOVED watching this home on wheels come together. You guys are awesome; what an incredible job! I think a long viney plant (like a pothos) strung up to the ceiling or a wall (perhaps with command hooks?) would add a homey touch, but that may just be my love for plants speaking 🤔 Also, I absolutely died at Micah's old man groan while reaching for the camera, after he'd just pulled his entire body weight up onto the roof no problem 😂
Thank you Katie! I would love to add more plants in here, I just need to find a long pothos haha I didn't even notice Micah's old man groan 😂 now I have to watch it back to see hahaha so funny!
