Young Nomads Living Big on a Small Budget: Ambulance Conversion Tour

[@donnamount151]

I ran ambulance 9 yrs. No worries...the cleaning process is phenomenal after each run and a full disinfecting and restocking...there rules and state law's...I was captain and had to answere for everything...enjoy and be happy..😁🤩

[@gypsiemomm]

"Putting social pressures aside." 🕊AMEN🕊AMEN🕊AMEN🕊 Seriously, why haven't more people just used an old ambulance for a camper van? It seems to be the perfect fit! Thank you Devin & April for so many amazing ideas!!! You are both a wealth of knowledge!

[@GlendaNorris-qx3in]

What a lovely young couple. I love an ambulance build. They have it set. They said they wer'nt an electricians 17:35 . Looks great. Safe travels and God bless. 😊

[@dustistreet9503]

Well, as a former EMT for 7.5 years I can tell you that we keep the units very clean. Constantly. If there is biowaste it is disposed off at the hospital. Decontaminated. I've been thinking of getting an ambulance as my Nomad home for awhile now. I've been in many different ones over the years and I'm really comfortable in them. I love what this couple has done with this one and great choice in the engine and diesel.

[@ApothecaryGrant]

Repurposing wood and iron is so rewarding .

[@sullak7]

I love how April looks at Devon. Lovely!

[@lcinflorida8728]

OMG! I loved her nonverbals and facial expressions as he was addressing living in a small space and quickly resolving squabbles! Too funny!!

[@srrfounder1]

She's not the only one traveling with a cello, I've been doing that for 30+ years now... YEEHAW!!!

[@eleanoraquitaine2966]

I love Devon's perspective on the history of the ambulance and any potential resident spirits. I'm sure lots of babies were born in it, too. Happy Day!

[@lisafleming9603]

Sweet thoughts!

[@dustistreet9503]

All the years I worked EMS I never thought about any restless spirits staying behind in them. I remember the first baby I delivered in one. The mother named her after me and my partner and I signed the birth certificate as the "attending physician." Dena Randi MacDaniel. Hope she's doing well and she's happy.

[@chinacreek1]

I've delivered 7 in the back of an ambulance and 3 in home as there just wasn't time. When it's time it's time. As for the spirits of the fallen we followed Native American lore and smudged after a passing.

[@eleanoraquitaine2966]

❤ the sweetest couple ever 😊

[@Nobody-wo5mb]

What a sweet couple, happy for them.

[@babayega_]

I've seen a few ambulance campers and the best thing about then it's they're stacked and packed with storage inside and out and they're made to last. No cheap workmanship. Great choice.

[@dianaj3139]

I love the answer they had at the end about what they feel about the many people who take "rides" in Ambulances... they prefer to respect the very POSITIVE aspects of what it represents: "saving lives" What a lovely couple and amazing thoughts on their new home.

[@morrisgoss1858]

This is my favorite video so far. I just bought my ambulance 1month ago, and kind of didn't know where to go with it. I just knew I wanted a bed, a kitchen, a full shower. Must haves. I just really didn't know where to put everything! I knew I did some kind of way, keep the original cabinets as well. I'm a solo female on my on, it's literally just myself and God. You all have given me so many great ideas! You all literally have me super excited, I can't wait to get started!!! A million thank yous. I'm planning an Alaskan and Canada trip, I hope I meet you one day. You guys are super chill, and super awesome. May God bless yall forever.

[@caspernomad9262]

An excellent example of recycling an ambulance to nomad needs!! They have enhanced their skills and made wonderful improvements. They have a can do attitude.

[@cathynefzger8287]

You 2 have really made a beautiful home, so much storage space!!! And it appears you both did a lot of studying and research to find the perfect equipment etc. for your home. Thinking to 2 years later when I'm viewing this you must be in Alaska, enjoy all the new and exciting adventures that lay before you. Great Job!

[@lindasams6058]

Very very cute couple - you look very happy : I'm building a van 🚐 (low roof) YES - I'm afraid of being lonley ---- "70" but going for it 🎉

[@dianeva5091]

Clever construction on the cabinets (rustic cottage) your rig dosen't look like an ambulance VERY NICE SETUP 🤓✌

[@felixcat9318]

The other benefit of being a liveaboard in an ambulance is that ambulances are specifically designed to exceed rollover accident survivability standards (You Tube has videos of ambulances being put through these rollover tests). Having such a strong frame supporting one's home would be quite reassuring. Ambulances tend to be well insulated too, and it goes without saying that they are meticulously built to very high standards! That white tile effect wall covering really created the home kitchem ambience and transformed the vehicle into a home. Likewise the cabinet doors, lovely, homely and warm. Sensibly, they did not attempt to fit a dedicated toilet and shower room into such a small space in which they had to live. Their solution meets their needs and that's all that counts. It was nice to hear how completely at home they felt, and having both worked on the interior it would add to that feeling of having personally built their home. No two people fit out their vehicles alike and I find it fascinating to see how different people approach the challenge, and starting off with an ambulance gives one a head start due to the abundance of high quality storage cabinets and lockers already in place. There is a growing community of ambulance liveaboards and a wealth of possibilities for layout and fit out. This lovely couple have created their cosy, comfortable Travel Cabin and its a real gem!

[@margaretkelly9878]

I love these two people, both individually and together. Thank you for sharing.

[@patrickconn8080]

Got to know this great couple in AZ last winter. Super nice folks!

I bought an ambulance two years ago. So far O have only used it as a covered truck! Anxious to use it! Very inspiring!

[@danoc51]

Great episode! I expect there will now be a run on ambulances like there is on minivans. I'd be really interested in knowing their budget and their travel paths, and how often April plays her cello. Lots of interesting comments such as how two people harmoniously live together in a small space.

[@CD-oq8em]

Good story and great couple showing how to live the life.

[@dirktyler3643]

This is one of the best road homes I've seen. Good idea to invest in a great engine, and I've heard that ambulances are much more sturdily constructed than RVs. Wish they would have given some attention to those cool round spice jars in the kitchen.

[@MrBklein31]

Another great interview! I have been looking at ambulances and the three main things that draws me to them is strong engines that have GREAT towing capability, cabinets with electrical installed, and lots of storage. I plan on using the ambulance as a mobile office, and pull a travel trailer for my living space. That way I have the space to work with A/C, power, and plenty of storage, but have a home with all the necessities like a kitchen, bed, and bathroom built for me that and made to travel. So I guess I'm kind of a nomad and a full time RVer hybrid. Thank you putting out such valuable and entertaining content.

[@rebeccaknox4652]

You two are adorable! It’s such an awesome looking vehicle. Refreshing to see ones putting their artistic qualities into their home, good on you.

[@bvcmargie5887]

So enjoyed Devon and April. Their home is so fun and cozy. I was impressed at their ingenuity, knowledge and willingness to share it with Bob and his viewers like me! May this couple experience Gods best is their Nomad life.

I'm 6'2" and work on my county's ambulances. They would work well for people that are 5'10 but not me. Now I'm speaking of a type III AEV. A type III is a cab and chassis with the box added on. AEV is the manufacturer. They have a incredible amount of storage.

I sunk my life savings into building a shuttle bus, not too far north from them. A huge ash tree fell on it, before I even put insurance on it. Just found a 2005 ambulance, with a blown motor,that my 2011 6.8 will fit right into. A bit excited to move from a shuttle bus, to an ambulance.
