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.

[@marciawade9101]

Yep, same thing I said. PURE GENIUS! 💖💖💖

[@lbl9066]

I also love the placement of shower, bathroom. Amazing

[@a.w.thompson4001]

Brilliant! Slight adjustment: put the shower head above the washer dryer so water is aimed at the solid wall.

[@gracieg7601]

Why is he carrying his urine around in the bottle in his havds?

[@noah786]

Dude had me cracking up setting up bed. I don’t think anyone could do this, less than 1% of the population for sure. I thought the plumbing system was complex and then he hit us with the electrical cabinet. Genius level for sure.

[@nanachick05]

I agree with genius level on that electrical cabinet, extremely well designed & well organized. One of the best set ups I’ve seen in my 18+ years in IT!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

[@Tyme_flies]

SERIOUSLY! Pure genius! I'm still stuck on the exhaust system in "the bathroom ". When I get the funds for a bug out vehicle I know who to try and get in touch with. Bravo Bravo !

[@justdeann731]

Yeah! For sure! That plumbing and electric is 🔥! He could probably make a living just doing that for people!

[@roxannhawley3583]

Makes me wish I studied engineering instead of medicine...! You should apply for another degree or at least another certification after this build! Thank you for sharing this wonderful extension of yourself 💓! I now realize as I build my "she shed" on wheels, that my platform has had a "domain" which should dictate all categories of my build; from how much money to spend, to how much weight I can add--after build. Much to balance! 🧙🧘

[@jodycoyote3916]

This build is amazingly detailed. He needs an award for creativity. 55 gallons of fresh, 5,000 inverter, air compressor, shower, composting, tesla batteries 5,000 watt hours, massive solar. Blows my mind.

[@nightfall22]

Okay, I need to say a few things… as a paramedic I’ve worked in a ambulance for over 14 years and this man is kinda small… not everyone can just walk in RA like this 😂… his set up is beyond beautiful. 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. Anyways, my .02 brilliant setup 👊🏾👍🏾 one last thing setting everything up on that tablet….. SCHWEEEEEEET ❤

Well I just had my first exp riding in a ambulance and with profuse and constant vomiting the paramedic still wanted me to lay flat on my back and strap me down so I could choke on my own vomit! And when I told her no she walked into the hospital and said I was uncooperative I made sure I didn't get seen I had to have my husband pick me up and take me to a different ER out of town!!!!!! Where the doctors had to give me a lot of medicine because of the fact I have an autoimmune disease my body accidentally thought I was being poisoned when I wasn't!!!!!!!!

[@kariqualters5908]

Yeah, this guy has to be ridiculously smart.... it just blows my mind that he did all of this, construction, electrical, water, design, etc etc 🤔 and he's so matter-of-fact about it all!!!!! Really cool 😎 ❤

[@andreamollo7130]

You are a bonafided genius, an artist, a visionary. I am totally flabbergasted. I have never, ever seen a build at this level of sophistication. You need to generate a KZbin - How to channel. 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 combo wash drier sucks. It takes HOURS to wash and dry one moderate load of wash.

[@brianmills4891]

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.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Glad you found this video

[@CritterKeeper01]

Sure, your time and energy is valuable, but this *is* a valuable way to spend your time! No matter how experienced you are, applying your skills in a new way will always teach you more than you can imagine.

[@Kammitoes]

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.

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.

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!

Excellent feedback. I don’t have the answers to the questions, however Josh may be answering comments

[@karenjohnson2759]

That is a marvelous build, such a work of art, and practical arrangement.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ORIginaLgifts772]

By far the best build I’ve ever seen. And I feel like I’ve seen every single one on KZbin over the past few years! Patrick is not only a genius, you can tell he’s a really nice, good guy. I hope he enjoys every minute of his stunning home on wheels.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Wow, thank you!

[@johnzee691]

unbelievably outstanding. he just raised the bar on builds, and it's a diy to top it off. hats off to Josh.

[@robbieadams6412]

Good lord this guy is a genius! I’ve watched hundreds of these, none better!

[@sandyadams9446]

I totally agree with you.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Totally awesome

[@bobbijoREV3.10]

IKR !!!

[@tonythedonluciano]

I've seen many ambulance conversions, but this one truly has so many intricate details that make it superior to the rest. Bravo! 👏

[@Mayjay87]

That's amazing. Everything has a second use or function. That electrical cabinet is professional level.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Absolutely

[@michaeldavies9533]

What a fantastic build everything as it's space , love when he dashed outside to get the orange pad/seat.to sum up you are sir a genius. Regards from Hereford UK

[@MissKateWalk]

Wow the placement of the shower, washing machine and toilet is GENIUS never seen it anywhere before. I wish that was possible to do in a regular van like a Ford Transit or something. Seriously genius.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Josh continues to amaze me he such a genius

[@stevenmonson5149]

The skill set background of electronic, metal , wood, plumbing fabrication,is astounding.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

So talented

[@sueschoers4974]

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.

[@stephenhuber1079]

Congratulations to Josh for his outstanding work on his ambulance conversion! The design, engineering, fit & finish, features, usefulness all add up to an amazing and fun camper.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for the support

[@MegaBpop]

This is a great rebuild of a home. I especially like how you have the hidden door from the shower to the front cab of the vehicle. You could ideally lock the door from the main house to the shower as a second barrier if a thief was to ever get inside in from the steering wheel area. You would have time to get your protection gear ready to face whomever is trying to get thru the second door. Congrats and I hope you keep enjoying it.

[@HayabusaOrlando]

Some people just have a talent for doing things. This build is AWESOME !!!

[@bethshoaf]

This young man is talented for sure. Genius use of space. This electrical is intimidating to most folks. Wow!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Totally agree

[@Kristyrich77]

I’m totally blown over with the detail and creativity you’ve built into your ambulance. Love the bathroom/laundry room, desk, EVERYTHING!! So much fun to watch! 😃👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽😍

[@tianjohan4633]

what a great conversion. The only thing I would change is using a lifting bed to get even more versatile space and don't need to make the bed twice a day.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Exactly

[@TheKatiness]

I'd probably just put the mattress on the floor and sleep there.

[@chrisharmon5453]

This guy is genius level. 👏👏👏

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Yes 👍🏽

[@aprilMichelleXJRL]

This is literally genius , literally!!!!! He has everything down to a washer/dryer this is what i call full time living!!!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

This guy really nailed it. It’s a perfect build I think.

[@a.w.thompson4001]

The complexity of the systems and the way they are integrated is phenomenal. Josh is amazing.

[@scottthejeepguy7499]

Wow, what a camper, nice nice job, your build is out of this world, thanks for sharing. Good job Patrick.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

So awesome

[@mikalabaker6110]

Josh, your ambulance build is just incredible. The ingenius designs of certain things shows your genius on how to make them functional, all the rubber band stuff is so clever! I really enjoyed listening to you! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@offairhead]

1:51 that shower is gorgeous

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Love it 😊

[@reginajohnson9620]

Thanks sweetheart I'm 65 years old and I have established my life but I will move in a heartbeat your job well done

[@beltalowda]

I was on a roll of watching ambulance conversations and thought I'd seen it all until this BUILD. my favourite for sure. the bathroom area is so innovative.

[@hirenpatel9094]

he could teach the manufacturers that have been around 40 years so many things. Rivian or Tesla need to recruit this gentleman so they can build adventure vehicles .

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

He really could

[@aairsick]

You had me at washer/dryer!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Me too

[@kevinweber5129]

@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures which model washer dryer is that ?

[@themeantuber]

This could be the most complete DIY camper I've seen so far and I think I've seen hundreds of these videos.

[@slapcanister]

"I built an apocalypse vehicle". Same. During the plandemic, the sense of uncertainty in the air and the boredom of being locked down galavanised me to buy a box truck and convert it. I now live in it. Doing this was the best decision I ever made... I live simply and cheaply - what more could you want? GREAT build, high five from the UK!

[@shinryujinlvl999]

Okay this build is Genius i have seen alot of build and conversions for van and car during 2020 to 2023 and this is by far the most thought out most well engineered and practical build ever its just a work of art a true master piece this guy is a Genius just wish he would clean his hands after touching the toilet other than that he is Genius

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Appreciate the support

[@tashahasfun]

This build is incredible... I'm jealous. Its absolutely practical, easy looking to clean, AND beautiful. But that bathroom is really something else.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you 😊

[@trailrider7046]

Does Josh still live in the ambulance? I didn't see clothes in his storage bins or drawers. And he hasn't used the toilet ever? Josh has a brain that always seems to be thinking and analyzing. I love the doors and the steps and the hand rails.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

He still owns it, however his travel plans changed.

[@wildernessdisneydad1621]

I have to agree with the title! Some of the design elements are very creative. If only something like this could be replicated or mass produced. Thanks for sharing.

[@danoc51]

The big RV manufacturers could learn a lot from watching this and implementing some of the ideas. Great video!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for the support

[@Calvarydima]

I am not as much impressed how much stuff can be fitted inside this one camper As much as I am impressed At how much can fit in this one guy!! Mind melting

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

He is a genius in my eyes

[@briandangelis]

This is complete straight to the point no nonsense build . The tech set up is amazing and on another level. A control command center on wheels. Amazing!!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

So happy to hear

[@Pistol76]

Over the last couple of years I have watched videos from you and other KZbinrs touring some awesome buildouts and new manufacturing designs. But I have never seen anything like this epic build out design. This tour was fantastic and that guy needs to either start his own company or get hired as a design engineer by one of the major manufacturers. This particular build seems perfect for him and his age group, but I'm sure that he could adapt these concepts to suit a wide variety of age groups and life styles. Best find ever, good job! My favorite parts were the water system and the electrical system, that would be exactly what a person would need in most disaster scenarios in order to maintain a semi safe, normal modern lifestyle. Fill one or two of those closets with freeze dried food and a person could disappear off the grid and live comfortably for a long time.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for the feedback

[@heatherreadsreddit8579]

This build is incredible! I love the details and ingenuity. Additionally, it was great that you let Josh explain in his own order, and without interrupting him. Asking questions at the end was a great way to end the video. So many channels talk over their guests, which is annoying. I definitely subbed!

[@bianconico6913]

I love your build, too many good ideas 💡💯♥️👍😜

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for the support

[@radioactivebanana6774]

Best build yet for me! Washer and dryer really did it for me but also the desk design, kitchen counter top removal, shower, all fabulous! Great job!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks for sharing!

[@wandacraig8286]

Gotta say, this has to be the best ambulance build I've ever seen! My favorites were the bathroom/laundry and the kitchen. All the interior cabinets as well as the exterior storage was amazing! The water system was outstanding as well. And the electrical and all the tech was way beyond my understanding, but very impressive! Everything is immaculate! Great build!!!
