Life On The Road In An Ex-Ambulance Camper

This week we give you a full tour of our ambulance camper (we call it our campulance) which we use travel and camp all over North America!
Support our show: / livingbig
We have plans in 2019 to do a full camper conversion on this ambulance, which is built on a 2008 Chevy C4500 and which was a fully working ambulance up until it was retired from service in 2017.In this pre-conversion tour, you'll see the ambulance as we bought her, as well as how we have been using it as a vehicle to tour with.
Read More: www.livingbiginatinyhouse.com...
Not only is our Campulance a home away from home, it's also a tow vehicle which we use to pull our tiny house around. We've installed a full tow package which means that we will be able to travel with both the tiny house, and the campulance together, or just take the camper for shorter excursions. For us, this ambulance camper is like living the vanlife dream. It's a great vehicle and has been an amazing home on the road.

I’m an EMT and I was cracking up when you opened the backboard compartment and said “maybe a surfboard could go in here..” 😂😂

Whatever you do, please keep that badass metallic blue on it. It looks amazing

That with some silver accents would be super badass.

$15k for all of that in that pristine of condition is a steal! Great find. Can’t wait to see what you do with it and how it turns out!😄

It definitely was such a great deal. We can't wait to get stuck into the conversion now!

[@Mr.Beastforpresident]

Living Big In A Tiny House How did you guys find it forsale? Also did it take a while to find?

[@Grevlain]

15K - not bad at all. I'm working on a non-profit, and this sort of option would be ideal. Are deals like this around often? I wonder.

[@TheHillbillyHybrid]

qsrxo that’s a steal

[@rcairforceone]

You'd be hard pressed to find a 75K miles Duramax pickup for 15K, and this is a 4500 medium duty chassis. @I Know You're Right But you can find surplus deals but nice gems like this are pretty rare. Most places don't retire vehicles until after they've had a long service life, normally pushing 200k miles in something like this. The power train is rock solid, you'd be hard pressed to overload it, and it tows great. Not much more you need! I look forward to seeing the solar and bedding solutions they come up with.

[@TheJayair]

Bryce, you and Russa are living the life, simple yet magical. You have both found your Zen and I have Mad Respect for both of you. Thank you for sharing what has been a continuous epic journey, here's to many more.

Very True

[@aky19832001]

That's a genious idea. Honestly. Its sturdy, rugged, capable and frankly. Who the hell messes with an ambulance. And you can get away with parking many places.

[@jeanburk9539]

Extra secure too. But I would still add some cameras and an internet connection to them, internal as well as external. Some people make a career out of challenging break-ins. And there is always the driver who gets out to pay for gas leaving his door open and girlfriend in the back.

Yall are a national treasure, this "campulance" tiny house tow truck is genius! Perfect for week long trips to state/national parks! Thanks for sharing & keep up the great work! Love from USA, glad yall are here to showcase your effort & travels for the community!

[@johnrideout5056]

OMG PLEASE keep the blue!!! Our units here in Canada look NOTHING like the one you have. It is beautiful and it would be a shame to see it covered or painted. I would keep it the way it is but I know you want to or maybe need to remove the star of life but maybe just remove or cover up the pin and snake and do something that works with the star and worry more about removing the markings on the rear of the unit. Just my 2 cents worth about the unit. Good luck and I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with!

[@deanfirnatine7814]

I agree, best looking ambulance I have ever seen

[@ericb9345]

That’s a great blue! Our trucks are black and gold, which is much better than the white ones we used to have.

[@benking9503]

That blue is as sexy as his mrs, I actually thought he had it painted himself, would be a nutcase to change it

[@joellouisfire]

I even love it with all the markings, such a unique look and they work as a reminder of what it used to be. So cool.

[@AzulInfinito8585]

Blue is nice yeah but removing the medical symbols is a must .It would be preferable to take advantage of plotting on a starry night scenery ,sea decorations or something like that.However fuly agree its a beautiful blue

[@twominutetips]

Major score on your "CAMP"-ulance - love it. I'm seriously looking forward to this redesign as I think your tiny house design was da bomb. Thank you so much and wishing you both well on your continued adventures. Looking forward to much more.

[@livingbig]

Thanks so much! :)

[@jas_bataille]

Used ambulances are quite common on the used market. I have no idea why they're not more popular for conversions... they have all storage built-in, space for a bed, and a crew to work around it. The prices are right tho, since whole fleets need to be replaced every couple of years, and no one want used ambulances. You might wanna choose one without the original ambulance paint and symbols tho xD

[@foxxfury145]

Do the lights and sirens still work??

[@101doreen]

Same.

[@Sig721Tau]

@@livingbig Keep the blue color on it and get rid of any ambulance markings such as the snake. Also, remove the big ass horn on the hood and remove some of the warning lights. Maybe you could add a roof scoop on top to make it more aerodynamic due to the back half being so square. I mean, the camp-ulance has the aerodynamics of a barn door. Lol

[@michaelsmith9308]

That ambulance as it is is great! The storage a fridge that's original, oh my....the storage and cabinets are built to extra ordinary standards and to finish it off the walk through from the front cab is awesome!

[@carriewh]

This is hilarious, my husband thinks I'm nuts because I too have been looking at ambulances for conversion into a camper. For the bed I've been picturing a piece of padded wood maybe that drops down and latches from the wall behind the "sofa". I look forward to seeing yours come to fruition, mine is just a dream I think.

[@Shadow2084]

GREAT bargain Bryce and it's going to make a fabulous campulance! I'm totally in love with the thought of this beautiful vehicle being converted into your very own 'tiny house on wheels'. You never cease to amaze Bryce - best of luck to you two and be safe on America's highways my friend. Take care. ;-)

[@dastrnad]

Maybe use a hammock for a second sleeper over the twin mattress? That would allow extra sleeping without losing any of the seat storage

[@livingbig]

Definitely. A hammock will have to be involved somewhere, because I just love them! Would be cool to do a set-up with a hammock between the campulance and the tiny house too.

[@kevinswinyer3176]

I used to be an EMT, and have operated out of these Modular Style Ambulances, and the Stainless Steel Overhead Grab Bars are in place to assist you with getting into your turnout gear when enroute to an Accident Scene, they also come in handy when moving around to work on a patient during transport to the Hospital. The Bed can be made in a way that it could be folded up along the wall when not in use, and then dropped down when the 2 of you are ready to go to sleep.

[@colinmcdonald7591]

put a skylight in the rear cabin. Ambulances make amazing reuse vehicles for all sorts of things. Big fleet units are always well maintained and a diesel is hardly even broken in at 75K miles :) I had one that I got for $500 and we gutted and put all wood paneling in along with a Maple hardwood floor. We built a drop down bed platform so that we could have a large bed, but one that would stow away when we wanted to move around and use the kitchenette or just hang out when the weather wasn't cooperating outside. Another nice addition would be a side awning so that you can cook and relax outdoors even in fowl conditions.

[@livingbig]

Some great ideas there, and it sounds like you've done a fantastic conversion yourself! What a cool project. It's hard to beat a maple hardwood floor!

[@caddyzig]

The campulance has so much potential! I can’t believe what a great deal you got on something that’s in such great condition. Please keep us posted with lots of videos on this project. What a fun project and a clever name!

[@danle746]

What a great deal, can't wait to see what the finish conversion looks like!! Great find.

[@ernalucas3345]

I was looking for it as well - didn’t find it though

[@Mr.Schitzengigglez]

I never planned on an ambulance, either. Bought a shuttle bus. Turned it into a house. A tree fell on it. Now, I've bought an ambulance, to put my systems into. I got it for very little money, because the engine was blown. Currently swapping the engine from the bus, to the ambulance. I paid less for the truck, than I would charge to build cabinets, half the quality of the ones in the ambulance. Paid $10k for the bus. Got the ambulance for $1750. Same box as yours.

[@Toy2Boy]

The rebuild on this would be a blast though almost sad to dismantle all of that engineered goodness.

[@livingbig]

It will! I think we will probably keep much of it in tact, as the fit-out and storage compartments are really good. We will definitely be building in some new additions, but I like the idea of keeping lots of the original character.

[@robertbraden3889]

@@livingbig I've built 2 shuttle bus campers,and used all the built in fiberglass walls and engineered flooring and built from that platform,make it like a modern yacht. I'm looking at a low mileage 95 Ford diesel 4x4 ambulance about the same size to convert. I'm going to use as much of the interior as possible since it so durable and easy to clean, just add accents to make it cool, modern and useful. The idea to use the tall compartment for a shower is excellent, I saw one ambulance camper that used the side stairwell for the shower area using a removable shower curtain and a drain in the corner of the aluminum step. Good luck on the build,it's a beautiful truck,makes me miss my 2011 Chevy shuttle camper I just sold .

[@mikev6046]

So much potential! 👍 I would actually wrap the exterior if for nothing people will think your are an EMT and expect you to help them in time of crisis. However, that ambulance is strong enough to fit a vertical axis wind turbine in the rear and produce near 500w alone. This is a game changer m8!

[@TheVoodooLion]

The exterior is stunning, not one thing needs to be changed but on the inside many things need changed.

[@jackmackakaheavyguyhaiku545]

One idea for sleeping area: get a removable platform you can store or repurpose that you can park atop the bench, stretching out into the middle of the cab. Then you can have a larger airbed while still being able to utilize the space when you're awake.

[@Alessandrapgd]

It's been such a pleasure to follow you and see how woderful life can be even if we are in a small space. I've been telling myself that we do not need too much to be happy and I've been trying to take this as a rule to live by. Life is so much more than possession. Thank you, Bryce for hosting such an amazing series that shows us that living is fun and we must seize it by the nature and with the ones we love. 😊🙏❤🇧🇷

[@JohnCantey]

Love your content. I am working on bringing tiny monolithic domes to many people. I work in automotive. Keep about $5k set aside for repairs. Your tires will now cost 300 to 500 each and you will need to go to a dealership or big rig tire shop. Brakes and engine work are much more expensive. Similar to a class A motor coach. The engine and trans are same as a 1 ton so more than regular vehicle but not in outer space like the Caterpillar engines in the coaches. Great buy!!!! I love it. I really enjoy your content. I want you to love this vehicle. I don’t want you to loose that joy due to an unexpected repair.

[@cindythecatwoman1601]

I've never been in an ambulance before so that was entertaining. You do what you want to do with it. Keep most of it the way it is but, warm it up and cozier. Give it more of a home and less medical.

I like traveling by road more than flying. I think it is a great project. looking forward to you revamping the vehicle. Have a good trip back home.

[@livingbig]

Oh yeah. I actually don't like flying very much - and driving you get to see all the amazing stuff in between places.

[@lynnewilson5385]

I know you probably already have the conversion done but I just saw this video. My suggestion is that you go in so the wall cavity over the bench area that you said you wanted to keep and do a Murphy bed. They are so convenient during the time you are not sleeping you can still entertain and use the bench like you want and then at night you pull your bed down and it can be a very nice bedroom for the 2 of you.sorry I'm too late with my idea but I just found this video. Good luck in your travels and may god bless an protect you. 😊❤👍

I feel I could kick it by the fire with them. In other words.. they have a way of bringing you in and along so comfortably and I love that. Thanks you two. =]

[@SN-gc3vc]

Love this idea! Never thought about an ambulance as a camper but it has so much potential! If you want to keep as much as possible from the Original interior I would install a bed that you can pull down from the backdoor. It would mean you cannot use it as an entrance anymore, but if the bed is down, you can still open it and when the bed is up against the door, you have the side door which you allready use as mean entrance and the entrance from front. Blankets and Pillows go in the sofa storage. Your kitchen counter idea is perfect I think and I would put a sink right where that drawer is. For cooking and heating use solar as much as possible. Get an Instant Pot, you have a enough space to store it! Good luck and lots of fun making this the camper of your dreams! ^_^

[@ferraritrip]

Absolutely LOVE the opportunity you'll have to make this BEAUTIFUL ride!!

[@GoneBroke]

Have you thought of a Murphy style bed system, that way you can retrain floor space?

[@SuperDrummerJay]

Looks identical to the Kodiak my old volunteer dept still has in service, except ours was purple where yours is blue. And no, (to Mary Ellen's comment) not all had a sink. Ours was a full-time emergency response rig. Those hand rails came in really useful when you were going from one end of the rig to the other for supplies while in motion. FYI: The lock on the fridge was there so that only paramedic and a-level EMT's had access to medications and certain supplies that b-level EMT's were not trained or allowed to administer. (which makes no sense, because if you only had a paramedic and a b-EMT on board, and the paramedic needed the b-EMT to get a controlled med for them, then the code lock becomes useless. Our med safe used a key...)

[@SuperDrummerJay]

Oh, and since it was a recurring issue on our department's Kodiak, check to see if yours has the airbag suspension in the back. It was really useful to raise/lower the height of the rig, but ours always seemed to have reliability issues. If you don't have the air ride, don't worry about it. But if you do, its probably something you wont need in a camper, and you might want to look at converting it to a traditional setup before it flakes out on you. Also, keep in mind, mileage on fire service apparatus is pretty irrelevant. Our ambulance would idle for hours on end at a fire scene or on standby at events. Its not the odometer that counts, the important figure is engine hours.

[@jzaquatics3670]

She looks great there is a lot of potential in that vehicle

[@robertportersc]

That was a nice find! Ideas: gut the rear driver's side corner and make that a wet head. Replace the bench cushions with a jack knife bed. Make the desk your kitchen but have inserts that can make it a smooth top work surface so it does double duty. Hope this helps.

[@Eva-ww8kx]

It looks like it has a lot of potential. Ideas: You seem comfortable with a smaller bed, why not turn the double seater into a couch with interlocked slats that you can pull out (with it's own legs always resting on the ground) to make double the width of the current bench? Keep as much of the current furniture intact as possible (except for the seats). It's been made to be extremely sturdy and withstand the travelling, so it's unlikely you will get something as strong. Start with the seats and tabletops, because they make it look clinical. The rest is minimal, and will probably look awesome with some well-made wooden worktops. You can stick any artwork on the wall to make it look nice without having to replace wall material. See how you like it then and consider doing more. The weird outdoor closet could be an onboard shower if it .. oh I just rewatched and you already said so :)

[@livingbig]

Hey Eva! Thanks for the ideas. There sure is so much potential in this vehicle.

[@TheEhTeam04]

Besides a bus, this vehicle seems like the perfect thing to convert. Can't wait to see the progress on it.

[@melodiousmind6418]

The fact that the “Campulance” has been so well fitted with electronics means it could offer a whole new element to your design! Do you have an inventory of the embedded existing systems? With every personal space you design, you take it to the next logical level. This Camulance is a special challenge because it is unclear as to what you should remove. Ultimately you will probably have to remove elements that you don’t really want to remove. I’d start by pretending the space is empty and design an ultimate solution. Then after it is on paper, try to reincorporate the existing elements into your design by “switching things around.” I’m so intrigued with your perspectives on both design and life, and with the whole approach that you take in filming your show. Well done. Thank you, especially, for your inspiration!

Greay score! A nice bedding option that, I think should take over the tiny house scene, is the Japanese bedroom system. Just a nice comfy tatame mat, perhaps raised a little bit. And sleep on roll-up futons. Tatame is such a nice natural material and also really nice to walk and sit on.

[@earl-grey-milk-tea]

9:11 i notice a bit of a gap between the long seat cushions and the wall. If you remove the backrest and maybe the big grey thing on top at 10:18 you could easily install a fold-down bed that could either rest on the seat cushions with a bit of additional support, or just go over the cushions without touching them. There's definitely enough horizontal floorspace for a walkway and bed.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND I'M SOOOOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS!!!!!! MUCH LOVE FROM CHICAGO.

I just discovered your channel and love it!... My husband and I are passionate explorers and recently sailed from Vancouver working our way to Australia and back in our sailboat small enough to single hand then when we returned went on an overland touring adventure from Vancouver to and through the Yukon Territory then to Anchorage Alaska and back in our DIY slide in camper for our 2017 Tacoma TRD Pro.. We are always looking for great ideas to maximize our minimalist spaces adventure seeking lifestyle so this channel is absolutely perfect!.. Great job and thanks! I look forward to seeing how the campulance came along.. My husband is a retired architect/engineer so is sitting here ranting on exactly how he'd turn it into a overland touring/motor home.. Great potential!

You could use the metal pull-up bars to hold your mattress when it's not in use. When you need the mattress you can add a pulley system to make it descend. So cool!!!

[@rhemmie2825]

HaHa your excitement about this is evident! It's like you are busting at the seams. Can't wait to see it changed over

[@livingbig]

I definitely am! This is by far the coolest vehicle I've ever got to play with.

[@nikkiep23]

I love it Bryce!

[@livingbig]

Thanks Nikkie!

[@colleenh2939]

As an EMT I am very happy to see an ambulance being used to make someone a home. I am going to check back and see what you do with it.

[@LrShadownKC]

Been binge watching these shows and I have to say AMAZING job!!! But this campulance, DUDE!!!! What a steal, and its in awesome shape! So look forward to see what you do with it!!!

[@rareanimal8645]

If you believe in haunted houses, an ambulance would be a nightmare.😂 I wonder how many people died in there?😂

[@hopeinparis]

Just delete that one, Bryce.

[@coachgeo]

NONE....... ZERO.... EEVVEERRY person transported in an "ambo" is kept alive. Mandatory action across USA. Heart is kept beating whole time no matter what. Ceasing keeping the body alive is only allowed in the Hospital by doctor's order. That's the rules... If someone is already dead they ARE NOT transported in an Ambo. Coroner has their own vehicle for that.... thus ambulances remain available for another life saving call and not tied up transporting the deceased.

[@ericdmochowski8145]

coachgeo your stupid as shit, people die in ambulances all the time, often times patients are pronounced dead. Just because they are receiving cpr doesn’t mean that they are alive. Just because ambulances don’t go around picking up the deceased doesn’t mean that people don’t die in a vehicle that is meant for transporting and caring for people with serious injuries.

[@Mincraftslacker]

coachgeo Where are you getting your information? I’ve worked at my fire department for several years now and have seen many people die in transit, “ceasing to resuscitate” isn’t only allowed at a hospital, There are a tremendous amount of different scenarios that a patient can go through and unfortunately sometimes they’re complications mean they don’t make it to a hospital and you can’t just decide that they have to live until arrival. Don’t put information out there that comes out of your ass, thank you.

[@thedoomrunnerxl]

I own a 1991 Ford E350 MedTech Ambo. I have people give me "that look" when the conversation turns to how many souls have passed on in my rig. I say plenty I'm sure, but how many lives were also saved? How many babies first cries were heard in there? I look at the positive side of things and have never felt the slightest bit of evil while in my rig. BTW, this is my daily driver and it gets 18 mpg... Pretty good for something that weighs almost 10k pounds empty.

[@therocketman321]

Nice! For your safety don't hang on or work out on the top rails lol. They are there for you to grab onto and walk around when the ambulance is moving. The captains chair is the safest seat in the back while the vehicle is moving, for your information.

[@elit2175]

Patrick Ozment it is called a captains chair. Chairs that sit on their own with armrests or individual adjustability that are not connected to a bench seat are called captains chairs. It doesn’t literally mean a chair for a captain. Any chair that’s not connected to a bench in a vehicle is called a captains chair.

[@jacobKC3MRA]

@@patoz7205 I've heard people refer to it as the airway seat but mostly the captain's chair.

[@jacobKC3MRA]

I don't think there is enough bleach in the world to make me want to use one of those as a camper. haha.

[@raymondtakamoto4799]

Patrick shut up. A Captians chair is the style its made of .boat captain chairs look the same.the drivers seat is same as captain chair .hence the name or model captain chair ..Captian chair is one that stands alone with arm rests so your not thrown out of it on turns. ?never heard them called that before ?get out more then go on a boat or ship ..have you heard of navigational chair .its a Captians chair for mapping out course or directions on or in a cabin of boat or in this case Camoulace .its a editing (Captians)chair now lol! ..Keep it blue don't paint that's the catacture of it .make a shower out of closet.can you make a Murphy bed some how on passenger side? Or split Murphy bed half on one side &half on other,draw bridge bed lol. Can't wait to see it on new year .hum if you sell it or want to donate to a disabled me and my teen son to see country.

[@GigaFatGingerTTV]

Patrick Ozment I could mention anything and you would be like.. “OMG I DID THIS FOR 10 YEARS AND IM AN EXPERT” I could mention about like elephant poop and you’ll be like “IM AN EXPERT REEEEEEEE”

[@darko.l.1731]

The Side Shower is Perfect idea! I wouldn't even bother putting a drain, let it run out the the bottom of the door

[@kiza4178]

ok it's 2019, let's get started! Love the vision.

[@joshalynnsegura8876]

I can not wait to see the changes y'all make to convert it more into a livable area! I like the idea you mentioned of keeping the legal seating, it makes sense. Good luck in the process and am anxiously waiting to see the final reveal of this project! !

[@ChangeGunz]

WOW only 15K!!!! you are going to have a absolute GEM when this is all done my friends!!

[@livingbig]

We totally lucked out on this one, that's for sure! :)

[@lolayancey3626]

Yes, Raise the roof on hinges like we saw on one of the tiny houses so you won’t get stoop shouldered over time! I can’t wait to see the ‘after’ of your conversion!

[@susanhamilton1822]

Can't wait to see what you do with this beauty Bryce. I never miss an episode and I'm a huge fan. Thank you.
