perfect idea to build a badass band van with a shower for touring, set up like 4 bunks, and you got a perfect touring machine. cheap, comfy , safe, good on gas.
Ha ha. Yeah. You know I was just joking. Don't believe in such nonsense. That said, I'm sure some/many do! So I guess I should apologize. If it wasn't a consideration for them before... it is now! ;-/
Yeah I plan on it, I am not very good at videos but I am going to give it a shot soon just a quick tour of the progress. I will be posting up a blog style of the build on my website soon.
Oh good, I'm so glad I found you and the ambulance in the woods back here. I need your EMT expertise, quick, we have a bad accident at our site and need you to tend to the wounded and transport us to your hospital. One of the guys is bleeding, please red lights and siren, I'll ride on the rear bumper, it's just a mile up ahead. Thank God you have oxygen. Hurry let's go!
Hi Jed and DJ! When I first started thinking about Van Life, I thought about these for the same reason I considered Box Trucks. Easier renovation. But, with the Ambulances I quickly realized that they might Creep me out when considering their history...They are Awesome! Maybe I could have a Shaman or a Wiccan Priest cleanse the inside of one... ;-) Cheers! Thumbs Up!
This is how I feel about the possibility of spirits being in the ambulance. More then likely a spirit will be attracted to who killed them or something else more associated with causing their death. As far as I know this ambulance has never killed anyone. So basically I doubt the spirits would hang around the ambulance.
DJ Vendetta, Wow! Quick response! Thanks! I was never really concerned with an actual Haunting, just maybe some residual negative Aura from all the Carnage that must have occurred inside the Vehicle. I guess it could go the other way as well. Maybe there is a lot of Good inside for all the help that was given to people in need! Cheers!
My advice would be if your trying to be stealth don't put any storage on the outside. As for the inside plastic bins are great for organizing. You may also want to purge any unused stuff, that helps a lot.
+DJ Vendetta things have been great, Thank You. It's cool Jed did this video, you guys are getting the word out about the great idea of using an ambulance. Take it easy, bud.
Too funny. When he opened the first outside storage, I said WOW. and you said WOW. Then he goes to the other side and opens 3 more. And I Say DAMN and you say dang. Now I have storage envy! Crap
Very cool. Have considered this myself. I hope you aren't running that propane tank inside the cabin like that. It is not designed for enclosed spaces and is not guaranteed leak proof.
yes i would and i have bought one lol did not need much doing to it as everything was there just a little customization and vwahla most of the work is on the outside mine is fibreglass and i will paint it as bright yellow is a bit dangerous as people just notice the colour and body shape and they panic i have had people brake suddenly yeah i almost pooed myself lol......... am used to it now but it also takes a heck of a lot of work to get the stickers of i have had mine over 2 years and still cant get most of it unstuck aaaaaahhhhhhhhh any ideas..........cant paint it till its all off...........the reason i chose an ambulance is the fact that its safe as is built to last and that they maintain them to a high slandered
Check out one of my newest vids about converting an ambulance, and read the comment section, lots of good info in there. Best of luck to which ever way you go
I have always considered an ambulance for an rv but at 6ft 5 there is not enough headroom. They are very well built though. I had a 98 E350 Ambulance cab that had box removed and flatbed installed. I towed my fifth wheel trailer for years with it. It had tremendous power. I bought it at 99k miles and sold it at 168k miles. Pics on my CVK facebook. Great interview.
Good Video thanks. I have been driven in an ambulance once when i was in a very bad way. Despite being weak, ill, sweating, shaking, vomiting with a temperature, i could not get out of my mind how noisy the ambulance was. Everything was clanging and jumping, with metal hitting metal, was like we were driving over pot holes or something. Does DJ Vendettas have a you tube channel? The question i had was with the shower. Is there a drain hole to another tank, and is that then further got a tap of its own like an RV? Or is the grey water left there.
***** Yeah, but as the owner said white it out and delete the windows might be a start to make it appear more fridge truck like. I'd limo tint the side doors and the top half of he windshield too though, hate these bright cabins.
+Occasionally Productive yeah but no one thinks someone is living it. Put a toilet maintenence sign on the side or a ladder on the roof and it just looks like a work van
+Occasionally Productive also something I didn't bring up in the video, it doesn't seem like people instantly assume someone is living in it unlike a van with a bunch of stuff strapped to it, like a generator or extra storage.
Yes but at the same time people rarely associate an ambulance with someone living in it. I've had a few run ins but it is still more stealth then an rv.
it so amazing how sturdy and well made they are, i want one! btw...maybe don't walk around with a T-shirt with a little girl in pig tails on it, ...yea, looks very predator like!! just sayin.
Um... huh? What's so offensive about a woman vaping?? If you are not sure what vaping is, please calm your puritan knee-jerk reaction and do some research. Thank you.
+Michelle Levasseur Wondering who needs to calm down. No worries. Did not notice the vaping. No opinion there. Picture bit over the sexist top. Have a nice day. You re welcome.
i cant belive i hadnt seen this till now..im using an ambulance in my build
DJ.vandeta, the Rv is badass! And you are too, dipping and vaping at the same time! Like a BOSS
One of my favorite videos of urs, loving the astro. Safe travels
I love van tours!
Very cool. Would never thought to convert an ambulance! That thing had a ton of storage..
+Vantastic Living right? Its a hell of a jump start
Thanks Again For Sharing
Lots of great ideas! Love the tour videos, keep all the great videos coming :) and happy van fixing to you too,
I had a buddy who set up an ambulance as a mobile locksmith shop......great platform for most any application...!!!
Agreed
That is so cool and looks really safe and secure too. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
+MindiheartsMusic yep yep!
perfect idea to build a badass band van with a shower for touring, set up like 4 bunks, and you got a perfect touring machine. cheap, comfy , safe, good on gas.
exactly!
Better to live in one than die in one..woof! woof!
Very true.
I'm sure a fair number of folks have indeed died in there. Sooooo.... it's haunted.
well i dont feel it.
Ha ha. Yeah. You know I was just joking. Don't believe in such nonsense. That said, I'm sure some/many do! So I guess I should apologize. If it wasn't a consideration for them before... it is now! ;-/
+nyed2ca it's all good
Cool same project I am working on too. Mine was owned by a Fire department so different layout but love that other guys out there doing it.
+AQUATICSLIVE very cool!
Planning on doing a vid of yours?
Yeah I plan on it, I am not very good at videos but I am going to give it a shot soon just a quick tour of the progress. I will be posting up a blog style of the build on my website soon.
+AQUATICSLIVE awesome!
Right on, Dude.
+Tin Man pretty cool huh?
+Into The Mystery 13 It is, indeed.
very cool custom made rv!! love it man!!
Thanks!
Well now that was really interesting and talk about Cheap. Amazing .
Thanks!

Awesome tour!
+SeanEvansPhoto thanks!
Very Kool. It has me thinking future wise.

+lukngud yea I think the good could cancel out the negative.
+lukngud oh and you're welcome.
+lukngud right? I'd be worried about lingering spirits too haha
That looks like an amazing dwelling. I am having trouble figuring out storage for the two of its in my econoline
My advice would be if your trying to be stealth don't put any storage on the outside. As for the inside plastic bins are great for organizing. You may also want to purge any unused stuff, that helps a lot.
ive never even thought about this. thats awesome id paint it forsure haha
Somehow I knew this was going to be DJ's rig. Good interview!
+Static CamperVan haha thanks!
Hey static, how's it going?
+DJ Vendetta things have been great, Thank You. It's cool Jed did this video, you guys are getting the word out about the great idea of using an ambulance. Take it easy, bud.
+Static CamperVan yea it was a good time meeting Jed and doing the tour.
sup dj and Jed!!! rock on!!🎸🎸🎸🎸
+Patrick Funk sup Patrick!
definitely... way more heavy duty than a similar size rv, tons of storage, industrial grade electrical and all at a fraction of the cost
That was my thought when I purchased it and haven't regretted it.
+DJ Vendetta diesel is a plus imo also
+D Toy its a smart way to go for sure
+D Toy yea I love having a diesel!
That is a great set up! Awesome!
Thanks
Nice truck!!! that rocks...
Thanks a lot!
Cheers mate...I sometimes have trouble with comments dissappearing on my thread...cheers have a good day.
What a great idea. Their basically already built.
+Van Asylum yeah it's a pretty cool deal. Having a deisel is nice too
This is amazing man, love your setup! Any trouble keeping your 18650's charged??! Glad to see people on that vape life!
I have a 12v 6 bay charger that can always be plugged in. #vapelife!
And thanks btw.
Thank you for sharing your house. Those LUC 6 bays are awesome.
+R Casey (rcCola) yea they are and it was my pleasure.
+Coastal Empire I run a rx200 so having the 6 bay was important. I like efest chargers but won't run their batteries.
Better than dying in one... that's sweeeet!
Too funny. When he opened the first outside storage, I said WOW. and you said WOW. Then he goes to the other side and opens 3 more. And I Say DAMN and you say dang.
Now I have storage envy! Crap
Hahaha! Yea it's got much more storage then I need.
+tiki lebby haha that's crazy!
Great interview, thanks!
+mrbr549 thanks mrbr!
I love it !
Hey DJ Vendetta Wear whatever hat you like! with pride no shame in being yourself
Exactly. I was just having fun with the troll.
Very cool. Have considered this myself. I hope you aren't running that propane tank inside the cabin like that. It is not designed for enclosed spaces and is not guaranteed leak proof.
It is rare for me to use it. Planning on installing a wood stove as soon as I can afford it.
+DJ Vendetta - Well, I would highly recommend not using it at all inside. It is a disaster waiting to happen.
great job
Yo, you got yourself a new sub, I am very very intrested on what you'll be doing with that ambulance! So sick man!
+Gary Dioquino awesome!
I'll be posting more vids on my channel as things progress. Thanks!
Great stuff. A vaping camper with a dog😃
an ambulance was my first choice but the price was way to high in my area! loved the video :) 👍 🐧
+penguin chick yeah I haven't found a deal like that either
Yea they were asking 2900 but talked them down because it didn't run. But drove it away 2 hours later after I bought it lol!
my new trans sport was free, so it will do for now LOL 👍 🐧
+penguin chick free is always the best lol, what did you get?
1994 pontiac trans sport SE with 120k miles, runs drives, and stops good. :) looks ok also.
yes i would and i have bought one lol did not need much doing to it as everything was there just a little customization and vwahla
most of the work is on the outside mine is fibreglass and i will paint it as bright yellow is a bit dangerous as people just notice the colour and body shape and they panic i have had people brake suddenly yeah i almost pooed myself lol......... am used to it now but it also takes a heck of a lot of work to get the stickers of i have had mine over 2 years and still cant get most of it unstuck aaaaaahhhhhhhhh any ideas..........cant paint it till its all off...........the reason i chose an ambulance is the fact that its safe as is built to last and that they maintain them to a high slandered
Cool
+Josiah Kswiss 🖒
The video came out great!
+DJ Vendetta glad you dig it! Next time I'll have lights handle for the outside
What are you getting for MPG?
Is is a dual axle or double wheels/single axle in the back to handle the weight?
+Into The Mystery 13 nice
+DavidisDawei I get up to 18 mpg on the highway and it's a dually.
DJ Vendetta Thanks - wow - surprised you get 18MPG!
Nice! I'm partial to the ambulances. No kitchen?
I'm 4'11. the ambulance doesn't seem like a bad idea. it sounds like a good idea.
Check out one of my newest vids about converting an ambulance, and read the comment section, lots of good info in there. Best of luck to which ever way you go
dooooo it
Where do you get insurance?
Woooooooo!
I have always considered an ambulance for an rv but at 6ft 5 there is not enough headroom. They are very well built though. I had a 98 E350 Ambulance cab that had box removed and flatbed installed.

+Campervan Kevin wow I had no idea you were that tall. Ill have to check that out
Good Video thanks.

The question i had was with the shower. Is there a drain hole to another tank, and is that then further got a tap of its own like an RV? Or is the grey water left there.
Yes I have a channel. And to answer your question the grey water just drains to the ground and I use organic soaps.
Genius
+Alexandro Art 👍
Thanks!
nice
I didnt want to like this guy all that vaping stuff is off puting on his channel but he comes over as such a decent guy im gonna sub
Thanks. Sold the ambulance but will be updating everyone soon on whats been going on and the plans for the future. Better to vape then smoke lol!
cool creative
Thanks
cool
what kind of mileage do you get?
first from Lebanon Oregon
do you know what that ambulance gets as far as gas mileage? thanks.
18 mpg highway is what I got
Not bad! Do you need to add diesel fluid?
Sorry dude, but this ambulance makes your van look bad... This thing is just amazing! A real vault!
*****
Yeah, but as the owner said white it out and delete the windows might be a start to make it appear more fridge truck like. I'd limo tint the side doors and the top half of he windshield too though, hate these bright cabins.
+Occasionally Productive yeah but no one thinks someone is living it. Put a toilet maintenence sign on the side or a ladder on the roof and it just looks like a work van
+Occasionally Productive also something I didn't bring up in the video, it doesn't seem like people instantly assume someone is living in it unlike a van with a bunch of stuff strapped to it, like a generator or extra storage.
+Occasionally Productive thanks man!
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Great rig, but probably hard to be stealth.
Yes but at the same time people rarely associate an ambulance with someone living in it. I've had a few run ins but it is still more stealth then an rv.
+DJ Vendetta very true. I hadn't thought of that. Good point. I'll be following your channel. Much success!
+CoolCat Carolena thanks!
what kind of mileage?
18 mpg highway
Where did you find your rig for $1500. I want one
Craigslist
Ambulances are the way to go!!
AmbulanceRV.com :)
wonder what kind of mileage he gets?
Ex ambos are the way to go...if you're interested in an aussie on check mine. ..van life...Australia.
+Joe Bongo are you on youtube? How do I check it out?
ya'll near SF?
I was but now in Portland
MPG?
18 highway
Does this dude put his vape down or what lol cool build tho
Cycle Cruza!
+Danny Sanchez let's go for a ride vroom vrooooooom
I really like how he can fit his bike inside his van but if you don't care about stealth as much you can get a hitch mounted rack
+D Toy for sure!
Would you live in an ambulance? If the ambulance had flames on it then yes I would.
Plus if you ever have a heart attack.........
He went to shake your hand and you ignored him..nice
when your improving the script, trying to keep up the convsation, and run the camera sometimes you miss things. we're still friends, no big deal
yep
Yeh I am...search "van life ..Australia" that should get you there...sorry not the techiest tech in the shed I aint...
Commented on one of your vids and subscribed.
so this is what it looks like when grand ma kicks you out of the basement #fedroaintesifies
$1600????
94 with 160K DIESEL!?
I hate you!!!
160k on a diesel is like 50k on a gas truck.
Im sorry lol!
it so amazing how sturdy and well made they are, i want one! btw...maybe don't walk around with a T-shirt with a little girl in pig tails on it, ...yea, looks very predator like!! just sayin.
That rude shirt stopped me in my tracks.. I'm outta here.
????
What's the shirt about? Is there more to it than the picture? Which in itself is offensive enough. Thanks for explaining.
Um... huh? What's so offensive about a woman vaping?? If you are not sure what vaping is, please calm your puritan knee-jerk reaction and do some research. Thank you.
+Michelle Levasseur Wondering who needs to calm down. No worries. Did not notice the vaping. No opinion there. Picture bit over the sexist top. Have a nice day. You re welcome.
+Michelle Levasseur 👍🏻
first from Lebanon Oregon
+Andrew Lofton hello from Portland!
