    The position of the shower with the toilet and washer behind the wall is genius, I haven't seen that before and it's such a good idea. The bed is incredible, in fact the whole ambulance is so well thought out and built it must be the best van accommodation ever.

    This guy has to be a master at Tetris. The way he has designed everything to fit together is amazing. Love the bed. Such a simple but effective design, and I love the idea of the Tatami. Lost me at the electrical, because his system sooo complex, but I appreciate that he is a genius and was able to do it all. For me though, the crowning achievement is putting the shower/laundry between the cabin and living area and making so much fit in such a small area, and to do it so that it feels spacious. Very well done Josh.

Tens of thousands of van life builders would give their right arms to have your knowledge, expertise and experience.
      You could develop the architectural, mechanical, electrical and LV systems. Produce the plans and specifications for this build. They would be of such value for the van conversion enthusiast.
      I would definitely buy a how to! Many would! With your design abilities you could help many to pursue their dreams of living the van life. I WILL BE YOUR VERY FIRST CUSTOMER!!!! IT WILL MAKE MY DREAM OF TRAVELING THE COUNTRY A REALITY.

    The phrase “another level “ is way over used in our current day, but this is literally another level. The coolest part about this whole video is his modesty, and at the end, when he acknowledges that if he had any idea the amount of effort it would’ve taken that he wouldn’t have done it. Just goes to show that time is more valuable than anything else and no matter how cool it is and how many people lose their mind over it. he still recognizes that his time and his energy are worth more.

Love the pull out pantry cabinet The electric control pad and all that it controls is the bomb. Love the two sofas. That desk is ingenious. The kitchen is spacious and very organized. I love everything about this build. I was overwhelmed by all the electronics in that outside cabinet, but electric stuff confuses me on a normal day.

I’m 6’1.5 and it’s a B* going through the center pass thru to the back lol with ease and to have a shower and bathroom there with a combo washer and dryer this guy is a genius. I’ve worked in many different types of vans from the old school vans from the 90s 😂 to monster mods that you can put 12 people in the back because I worked critical care and pediatric advanced life support. It’s cool to see that he used a kodiak chassis ambulance. I’m just totally impressed here but just know to stand upright in these guys not everyone can do this.

Incredible technology. Incredible designs! The only thing I didn't see or maybe just missed was the A/C. I worked in ambulances in my college days in the early to mid-90s. I know ambulances have front and rear A/C. Did he set that up to run off of the batteries when parked?

I absolutely love the way you isolated the electrical elements, the plumbing devices,valves and lines and then back it up with the homecontroller tablet/smartphone. Really really excellently well done . You should be very proud. Earth roamers cost a million bucks and your Rig is every bit as good maybe even more sophisticated/simplified as those guys and it cost alot less than a mill. Godbless and Godspeed to you!

    All of this is SO BEYOND AMAZING!!! But possibly most notably, he is so good at keeping up with his water bottle!! I thought for sure he was gonna leave it in the plumbing closet but bro grabbed it without even stopping his explanation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    I own an Airstream travel trailer and am always interested in van builds. This build is by far the best I have ever seen. The innovative ideas and space saving methods are real,y great. I can tell this is a highly complex machine and the quality of workmanship I see is by far better than most sticks and aluminum motor homes which are literal,y slapped together. I think Josh could make a fortune doing van conversions of this nature. Absolutely wonderful.

      Oh, I agree. He could set up a company where he had employees doing the build outs from his designs or he could just sell the designs based on which ambulance box that somebody bought. And charge them a fair amount of money for it. Yeah this could be this could be a serious business.

    Wow, what an awesome conversion! Ambulances seem like such great options since they’re so substantial and already have such nice doors and outside cabinets. (I really like the Kodiaks, too.) Josh seems like a really smart, cool guy! Thanks for giving us the tour.

Thank you so much for this video I’ve learned a lot and I bet this guy could have a full time shop building these out for people. Just his design and engineering expertise is so valuable to this community and I can’t wait to find my own to start a build.

    Love the thoughtfulness in this build. I would leave the bed up all the time as it would be too challenging to do every day but it’s great that you can compact it if you needed too. Definitely a liveable space for long term accomodation.

    I just want to adopt him. What an awesome, interesting, talented young man. His sense of humor 🤣 is the greatest, so down to earth. I ❤️ him. The plumbing and electrical are genius. Relay this, relay that. Truly one of the greatest builds of all time. I'm imagining him as a toddler driving his parents nuts trying to channel his energy. He is a precious jewel. Thank you for sharing this.

    The minute I saw the clear passageway without a fixed bed, I knew this was going to be good. You have a great view out those double doors, plus cargo carrying capacity. Why block it all up with a fixed in place gigantic bed? Never liked that feature.
    I love this guy! A real engineering feat. That couch and bed are Swiss knives in functionality. Also love the slim and hard tatami mat concept, so great for the back. First man I have seen who does not indulge himself in 8 inches of foam mattress! Well done, Josh. It shows a disciplined mind and tough body. Very commendable.
    There are so many little pieces I want to know how he built, such as:
    The sliding monitor latch panel on wall, what is that sexy steel monitor arm? What kind of latches/ hinges used on bed frame to hang on wall, and the metal thingamajig on back of the couch that hooks it?
    Bathroom tiles - looks like Palram type click lock waterproof tiles?
    The big picture stuff like electrical, plumbing heating - very well laid out and accessible. What is spectacular is how he figured out all the electrical wiring, moved it over and reclaimed the space for the bathroom. That is truly a feat! I would love to see a detailed video on how that was done, and his electrical gadgets, inverter, Tesla Batteries, etc. Smart build, one of the best. He/She that doth figure out the power grid, hath the world in his/her hands.
    Please Patrick either you or Josh should make more videos on this work of art. I am so enchanted by this build. Best I have seen from a functional view. That bathroom takes the prize! A couple of things concern me though..
    1. Has Josh distributed weight evenly over the van layout? That 55 gal tank x 8 lbs per gal water is very heavy, and same side, same section also hold all the electrical + plumbing + driver weight when driving.
    2. Where is the gas tank located - I hope on opposite side? Is he under the weight limit for the van with all that wood, solar, appliances? Good thing he used aluminum for framing walls and cabinets, much lighter.
    This was most enjoyable to watch. What a stunning and smart build out. He did it in record time too, wow!
