    VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
    Meet Dritzz, an Alaskan man who lives in a 1986 4-wheel drive Ambulance that he purchased for 5K with only 35,000 miles. This DIY conversion was built around several original components, from the sliding cabinets and electrical switches to the exterior storage space used for water tanks and tools. The interior has a custom murphy bed that folds up to give maximum space in the living area. He chose an induction stovetop, a stainless steel sink, and open shelving for cookware. The laundry and trash are hidden away in a homemade bin cut right into the wall, adding to the unique use of space throughout this build.

    Young man you have hit the nail right on the head. NEVER let anyone tell you you can't. It's plain to see that you really believe in yourself, you'll go a long way with that attitude. I can't wait to see your journey, an finally the finished product. Most of all have fun, life is too short to worry about things too much I envy you two. We did our 3 builds when we were young.The final one was a fire rescue van, What a blast we had on the road. BON VOYAGE brother.

      that's a foolish perspective, not all negative comments are alike. some negative comments are going to be constructive criticism, offered by experienced people, with hard-won wisdom that is completely germane...not just hating on dude. it's very cool that he did something cool, but imo he's gonna end up having to put a lot of time, and energy, and money into fixing issues that would have been better avoided by making more thought-out decisions early.

    Also the fact that you're an ambulance van. No one will ever try to rob you. They'll think you're a governtment car.
    Very smart. You can park at any public parking lot as long as you want or just near a hospital and even security wouldn't bother you.

Great job on the build. I'd have to have a fridge though. I'm a cheese and yogurt girl and those don't fare too well without one. (;
