- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2020
- In this video I get a tour round Ben and Jenya's almost Identical ex-amblulance to mine camper conversion.
They started life almost the same but now couldn't be more different.
It's great to see what can be done with the same blank canvas.
To see more of these guys, and their dogs, check out @Dogs_in_a_pickle on Instagram.

Hi your van was built by MacNeillie in Walsall West Midland now called Babcock. Other van was Built by UVModular in Brighouse West Yorkshire ,were i had worked for, so i would have work on it when new .
Every Ambo owner has a different vision its amazing just how different they all are. I Love the clean colours of this home and the space, its like a Tardis ... Ben and Jenya have Pickled this Ambo to the Max!!
Thanks for the mention 😀
Even though she had met all the dogs Suzy (the one Jenya posted on Instagram when she was here) still went mental at the TV screen over Lance and Lottie!
Thanks for sharing that CJ, they've done a nice job on their van and I love how light inside it is.👍😊
Cool tour !
It's given me the kick up the arse i needed to get on with mine, just spent a shed load on bits for my amby conversion lol, not the important stuff like PVC pannels to finish the int linning or vynal to cover the ceiling, no, just crap like H/D air pump, nudge bar and ally scaffolding for a roof rack ;)
Loving it as usuall chap !
Great Video, good to see another Van like yours and how they did there’s cool✌🏽
Lovely to see another one of us... well done guys on a great looking design.
Love it still has the recording/panic bar on the ceiling on the van
That was fun, loved the differences in design and layout. Such a lovely couple.
Hi brilliant to see someone else with the same van as you great video looking forward to seeing the next video keep safe 😷👍🏻
Nice vans, it’s good to see a different set up of your type of van, awesome, luv to you and Lance. Stay safe xx🚑🚑🐄🐄
What a charming informal van meet.
It always seems that an ex-ambulance is best for a starter vehicle rather than the panel van. Size wise only would be a metal luton box van would come in second place. 👍
Great video as ever CJ
I don't know. You have lower MPG and you have to deal with some crazy wiring.
The Sprinter is a fairly narrow van... hence the boxy body needed when converting it into an ambulance. The Peugeot/Fiat/Citroen panel vans are a fair bit wider and so are used a ambulances as they stand.
Ah, Lance the unwanted intruder! Made a nicely chaotic moment in an otherwise peaceful vid!
Love this video a great comparison to see what someone else has done with their ambulance next to yours have to say I still love yours yeah and your additional sleeping pod
I like your Van better, CJ. I'm also liking these more regular video's.
Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it
Clever Vlog... thanks
I like your mancave...personally its the best one ive seen.
Hats off to the owners of Pickles though, she is also nice
I Imagine cork walls would have decent properties for noise isolation as well as preventing condensation. It would likely help to reduce echo.
When will we see you on an electric bike.
@@thevan-isher8317 huh?
Someone I csn sharey woes with 😁 glad u've got a pickle friend 👍
Interesting vlog for me CJ as you know mine is a second cousin twice removed, the colours make a difference too.
Nice one mate 🙂👍
Nice to see another like yours
Great vid again.
You could do a spring make over on your van+would be good for content 👍
Interesting to see another version of the ambo...much prefer yours tho :)
Still I prefer the look of yours outside. 👍
*Project Amber* Good content
Great guys, just wanted to know about the papers and insurance, my friend Vladimir got his papers from dvla which didn't say motorhome but light good van or something 😀, any idea why?
3:20 SOUND LIKE MY VIBRATOR
Hi, appreciate you putting this videos together. Can you tell me who helped/did the electrics? Thanks Harry
Hi, Keith from criftins campers did most of the upgrades on the Pickle ruclips.net/user/CriftinsCampers
WOW that looks great I picked up my ambulance last week so let the heartache begin lol
Good luck Aaron!
NICE
Noticed a big difference. They got a decent auto box. No cranky sprint shift!!
Yup, I was only slightly jealous 😆
After 5 years full time in a t4 to that would be like a mansion !
5 years good on you. Would you think of getting something a little bit bigger in the future?
Who's this Keith you mention? I found you after I started looking into buying an ambulance to convert last week and watching all your vids from the beginning. I can wire basic stuff but that part is the only thing holding me back from jumping on this auction site tonight... Do you have the person I can contact for any help sorting that out if it gets over my head? Love your content bro!
Man!! I pulled out 2 of those windows from and ambulance van and ended up chucking them cos couldn’t find anyone who wanted..... I feel bad!!!
I'd love to know where they got their water tap pump?
Where’s the companion video of them noticing the mundane details on yours they haven’t seen on RUclips?
Interesting idea Peter. 😂
I still like the stealth wagon more.
@project amber is your twitter link broken? It's saying your link doesn't exist?
I no longer have Twitter I'm afraid.
Do you know what the name or where they got the water pump at the back of the sink ?
Our one is discontinued! Search for something like rechargeable usb water tap.

Yours look bigger and better
Do you know how much the vehicle weigh by any chance? 🙂
Ambos a great base and size..
Just the electrics that would screw me over... Built like tanks though.
The Power already being there is a blessing, because most of them also have a separate battery bank, and inverter to power the electric lights, etc in the back of the rig.
@@kevinswinyer3176 yeah absolutely its the Gensis or whatever its called and disconnecting it all and having it run properly off grid that bothers me, seen criftin campers having the nightmare and of course project amber.
@@DUB-sential Nothing that complicated about them , I have done quite a few now so getting the hang of it 😉
@@CriftinsCampers I know but blimey there's so many wires, I think cj left quite a bit of the main control panel in..
Does look a bit daunting to a beginner, I know I've seen you take the system out fair play.
@@DUB-sential you should see Ben's plan to take the system out.*gets the bolt cutters*
I must say that other van has a great name!
I'm curious how they got on removing the complicated (integrated) ambulance wiring. It's one of the main things scaring me away from these as a base for a camper.
They haven’t and their Phoenix control system has developed an annoying fault so I or someone may be taking it out for them next year time permitting. I have made a few videos about ex ambulance systems on my channel
@@CriftinsCampersWhats wrong with leaving it in?
@@julianandrews6025 Phoenix is a single point of failure it’s also power hungry so stuff that’s needed in a motor caravan is best rewired.
Its successor Genisys is a bit less power hungry but still pointless to have running 24x7. It also uses a thing called load shedding turning circuits off to save the batteries unless modified to make it think the engine is running which is not a lot of use in a motor caravan
@@CriftinsCampers Thankyou Would a Mercedes sprinter 2011 have the Genesis?
@@julianandrews6025 if it was an A&E van then yes almost certainly if it was a PTS then not necessarily many PTS vans have simpler but often undocumented bespoke installations which may or may not be useable as is
Good video but yours is still the best jj
Your steps are the same? Where they standard!
What happened to the notification for this?!? Only just seen it.
One was sent out but once again many haven't received it 🙁 Im about to remove YT membership and go solely to Patreon for the subscriptions. RUclips have left it totally unfinished, you guys don't receive notifications and I have to bend over backwards to post as members only until "they fix it".
Bloody useless, and for all this they take a big cut!
@@ProjectAmber Are you on Patreon now and when do you want us to move our subscriptions ? also, do you get most of the money off the merch or am i better off just upping my subscription to you. I hate when others get a chunk of your cash and you do all the work. Love to lance xx
@@karenwrittle7585 I am on Patreon yes, I'll be closing YT membership probably this month but will let everyone know and those who want to convert over Ill give the details.
I get a bit from each thing so it's totally up to you how you want to do it, I'm always appreciative no matter the amount 👍
Let us know. Sorry youtube didn't work out
@@ProjectAmber Yep got to agree that patreon is the way forward dude 👍👍
💙♥️💙♥️💙♥️
As much as I like the idea of an ambulance, I am not sure if I am up dealing with the complexity. It strikes me that you have all spent a lot of time taking stuff out before being able to start the conversion. Conversely, if you start with a van or minibus you are just putting stuff in.
Correct, at lot of people underestimate the potential work involved but some of us are gluttons for punishment I have two of them!
Did i miss it but do they not have a shower / toilet onboard ?>
Toilet yes, under a cupboard, Shower if memory serves they have an outdoor one.
We have a foldable toilet and one outdoor - like a bag, and one rechargeable shower. Couldn't sacrifice the space for a permanent one.
Hi . Nice van but not as good as yours . Robbie U K
