Just a little insight from a former EMT: Those ceiling grab bars were to avoid falling on your patient on curvy roads, while speeding to the nearest emergency room with a code red. Your shower compartment was probably used for oxygen tanks: the inside door for the safety of the occupants and the outside door to change out the tanks (those suckers are heavy). All those outside compartments had a purpose: a backpack style jump kit for care outside the vehicle, chocks and blocks, road safety items, etc. Anyway, you've done a very fine job of making a high end utility vehicle into a home. I especially like the ceiling! Nice job. Thanks for the tour. Travel on.

You are the second video I watched today that keeps conversion simple and low cost, and I would like to tell you as well thank you. You also showed that you don't have to do a complete gut with rebuild. To me that's a waste of not using what the ambulance already has. In my opinion if you do a gut rebuild then just buy a RV it would be cheaper in the long run. Love it. Thank you for sharing.

I have noticed that many vehicle dwellers, RV, campers, car lifestylers, have a Safety concern about people approaching their vehicles when they are sleeping, or just inside of their vehicle. To assist with your Awareness for your vehicle, There may Be the option to utilize and install a camera system outside of your vehicle. How to Do this... There are RV backup camera systems available including online including Amazon Some systems include 1 or multiple cameras in a set, about 4 and may include a visual display monitor. Some of these Backup camera systems include this separate video display monitor, to view all of the installed cameras, and some of these monitors include various multiple functions, including a recording features, dvr type functions and touch screen display, among other functions. Your cameras can Be utilized to view around your entire vehicle, including front, rear and sides. The cost I have seen has been around low 2 hundred and mid 3 hundreds, prices may vary. I have actually seen this shown online where the system was installed and a entire 360 degree view was available on a RV. Please Do your own research on the Best options for you. Hope this information may Be Helpful. God’s Blessings to you, and your viewing audience. Safe, Happy Travels Author Advocate, Activist for Humanity, Jason Sandifer, Michigan, 4/18/2023 5/12/2023

How is the insulation in an ambulance? Also, I’m not sure why but I feel like I will feel safer in an ambulance. Safer from a break in-it’s built to prevent that and windows from the back are not made for easily climbing in. Also I believe all compartments auto lock when the doors are locked so you don’t have to go out to lock and check things. Am I ridiculous for thinking that?

Although, I just noticed your KZbin channel, and other similar channels, displaying van living. I just wanted to remind everyone to Aware Be of your surroundings and Alert, I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc... People need to know what the up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living. I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself. Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this. I feel that you , and others KZbinrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful. I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors. I shared this with several other travelers, as I watched their KZbin channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others. Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience. Although, you may have knowledge of this already, I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone. *Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle. You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage Do your research for the best fit for you Consider Carrying Several Extra portable cellphone phone chargers, and cables. Consider theses items: *Mini portable power charging station. I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices. *Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception. Consider also the purchase of a WiFi signal booster to also boost your WiFi signal. Research to see what you prefer. *Very Inportant: Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location. There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating, or camping situations. *Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders. Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone. There are some satellite SOS texting messaging, locator devices that will send messages with your phone even if there isn’t any cellular signal, or WiFi. With this device your can still text, and communicate with others in a emergency satellite transmission.

E 450 not F. Better get to know your rig - not only for producing SM content but to maintain it. The "hour long videos" you're referring to are the best out there; those videos are the true YT videos where they're looking to help others and not only to get clicks. Good luck anyway. PS: I do have one exactly like yours.
