New Fleet Member Bob Wells Cheap RV Living Tours My Rig | Ambulance Conversion Fleet Finds

Vancity Vanlife just bought an ambulance. I bet he'd love to get your expertise.

[@BeeBee-3274sweet]

Rocks ! 🪨 ! LOVE 💘 FINDING NEW ROCKS to add to my collection !! Greatest place I've found pretty ones is in New Mexico 👍

[@kishanabear]

Howdy! You should keep the bike light for your dog!!! I am a cyclist and I use them on my dog's harness... it is great for the evening, you can see him wherever he goes and vehicles can see him!!!

[@aslinrios2342]

I was thinking, maybe you can clip the bike light on Lefty's harness when you take him for a walk at night. This way if there's any vehicle around, they can see him.

[@TheCampulanceMan]

I'm gonna do that!! Great idea thank you!

[@markbeaver5010]

One time camping out in the Mohave Desert we came upon a brand new Suzuki RM 250 with nobody around so we went from camp to camp asking if someone was missing it and nobody said it was theirs. We ended up loading it up in one of our trucks and taking it to the Ranger Station and left it with them. A few days later they notified us that it was actually stolen out a shipping container in Long Beach and they found the crate that it was shipped in. You never know what you find out there!!

[@TheCampulanceMan]

Holy smokes. An RM? That is better than my hobo freight drill!! Lol :))

[@mattcaser6581]

I've seen lots of still usable items in the dumpster at campgrounds. Seems that some things folks throw away just get tossed because they simply don't like it anymore. Every time I see Lefty, he makes me smile !

[@TheCampulanceMan]

I've seen throw away items too that looked fine 🙂

Good to see Bob is getting into an ambulance, even better that he's uploading a vid featuring your rig! You have a great channel that's been flying a bit under the radar for too long. Bob's upload will give the wider audience your channel deserves. I know I've learned a lot from you and in a very enjoyable way. Peace to you and give Lefty a scratch for me...

[@treeartist2811]

My husband is a champ at finding all kind of things on the road. This year we found a Christmas tree in the middle of the road. Used it for our tree.

[@jw1million1]

I love finding things no matter whether I'm home going on my 6 mile walks each day or whether we are traveling. Been walking for many years like this and hopefully will be able to do this till the end of time.I found a 20 dollar bill on the side of the road the other day! I find lots of tools, like wrenches, hammers, sockets, etc cell phones, a mini video cam, lots of clothes, shoes, hats, . Nothing really exciting except maybe a big box of ammunition so far. Keep on walking w/Lefty!

[@russconklin6558]

Hi David, I like the things you have found. I not the one that finds things, my brother always found it. Maybe cause he got there first. HA! HA! Anyway my best find was an almost new fishing pole, at my favorite fishing hole in the weeds. Right beside it was a tackle box full of goods. I felt bad for the person that lost it, so I stayed at the lake until dark, then camped out for 3 days waiting for them to return, but they never did. I used the fishing pole for a few years and then at the same lake I meet someone who needed a fishing pole, so I gave it to them. I figured God gave it to me, so I should pass it on. God Bless, safe roads. Russ

[@TheCampulanceMan]

A fishing pole and tackle is a great find and its awesome you were able to pass it on!! Thats the best part for me.

[@gailjohnson6670]

It's hard to believe people leave all those items while camping. Thank you for the video. Blessings in your days.

[@TheCampulanceMan]

Thank you Stacy I appreciate your words.

[@RichADio]

You're probably right about the shovel being brand new. The previous owners likely forgot it because they weren't used to using it. Something you use often tends to not get forgotten.

I haven't found much stuff that others have left behind, but I did get lucky and go back to get my own stuff and found that it was where I left it! I had left an awning roll out rod at a fly-in of the EAA in New Braunfels, Tx years ago. I went back three days later and found it still on the ground. I also left a light, part of a 20v tool set, on the side of the road, turned on. Went back a couple of hours later and there it was, still lit up! I do have an excellent memory. It's just terribly short.

Not a nomad but on the freeway found coolers ( usually destroyed by traffic) but a few usable, aluminum ladder, fireman’s supply bag ( returned to our local station) and a big bag of dog food that didn’t break open on landing ( gave to neighbor). And a lot of broken furniture. We live in the country right off a freeway which most folks own a pick up and haul everything in back. For the ones that don’t tie down at 75mph... oh well, I guess they didn’t need it.

[@TheCampulanceMan]

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Those finds are little treasures. I've found water containers by LLBean, Contigo, and Pathfinder (Dave Canterbury); came across a twenty dollar bill at a state park campsite and it paid for 2/3 of my campsite fee. While hiking I came across a nice Sierra Designs fleece blanket that had side zippers, probably to make a lightweight sleeping bag; found it neatly folded under a tree. BTW you did a great job filming with you new camera and the sound quality is excellent.

Don't know where to start since this video was filled with so much awesomeness: a beautiful picture of your daughter, Lefty, Bob Wells, fleet finds and excellent videography and sound. The fact that Bob watches your videos speaks for itself. Have you watched the movie Nomadland? You can watch it for free if you have Hulu and Bob has a small part but you will be amazed at his naturalness on camera. His small part is definitely up there with Frances McDormand. Belly rubs for Lefty...

David, another great one, and even better showing us an addition to the fleet!!! We haven't been watching much lately because we brought our "baby" home last Monday. A 2000 E-450, 7.3 Powerstroke Turbo with a Wheeled Coach box behind. Out of all the ones for sale across the country, we found this one about 10 minutes from home! I just finished watching your earlier video on your electrical systems, now that I've been poking around in ours for a bit. Our plan is to make a few short trips around here for a while, then head west sometime this fall. We'll definitely look you up when we do! :) Keep the vids coming, they're great and much valued and appreciated!! :)

First time watching. I love finding things, too! The best thing I found was a big Stihl Chain Saw. Someone had dropped it out of the back of their truck and I saw the orange handle and made my husband turn around. We kept it for a while to see if anyone posted that they lost one. Then I sold it for $600 and bought a saddle which I needed badly. We travel with our horses to horse camps and we always find things people leave behind.
