Ooooh, how I envy you. I was a Combat Medic in Iraq 2003-2004 and I drove a hummer ambulance. I always thought of how cool it would be to convert one into a camper and here you are. My ambulance when thru hell. The soldiers in my unit made a fake Purple Heart for my ambulance for all the bullet hits and fragmentation damage from the roadside bombs (IED’s) we survived. Unfortunately I gat injured on a mortar attack on July 2003 but, I recuperated and went back to do my job. That same night other 3 Combat Medics gat injured in firefights. Looks like it was a hunting Medics night. I wonder how many soldiers made it back home alive thanks to that ambulance. Take of it. She took good care of us. Happy camping.

@sethrich59989 ай бұрын
@@armymedic0001That’s not what an NSN number is. An NSN isn’t individually unique like a VIN, it’s like a part number. It’s just a standardized numbering system given to designate types of things in the supply chain. For example the M997 HMMWV (NA) TRUCK AMBULANCE has the NSN 2310-01-111-2274. They all have the same NSN for that model, not different ones individually.

I hear you brother, I was also a 91B that is what Combat Medics were before it changed to 68 whiskey, I was actually in the last class of Bravo's @FT Sam it changed to Whiskey half way through AIT. I actually spent the end of my career as a DMT Dive Medic. FTX's, range details, convoys, liter lanes, motor pool and PMCSing. I have spent countless hours in the back of the M997. 1999-2021 OIF,OEF,OND Iraq joint bass Ballad(North of Baghdad) Deployed and upgraded to the Shit Strikers then to my own medic MRAP which saved my 6. That said I always wanted to do this to the M997 I see them for sale on some gov sites from time to time. TheHIVEDIVE what are the numbers on the conversion? I am interested to do the same!! Great video by the way. Lastly to all my Brothers and Sisters in Arms past, present and future GOD BLESS!!

Depends on what is your goal. Where I go, I'm always alone so I don't mind washing myself in a lake or a river. If that isn't available, my outside shower does just fine. As for the toilet, it's really only for #1 at night, anything should be done outside.

At one point I was basically homeless living out of my car. If you dont have the luxuries of a home (bed, kitchen, toilet, water, fridge, etc) some of the "campers" I see are closer to glorified homeless mobiles. It gets old needing to constantly use public bathrooms, cook outside, shower outside, etc. After all, these are for traveling so your on the road often. I would install a shower and toilet as well as the other necessities (although I'm unfamiliar with the compost toilet thing). This is undoubtedly the best platform for transforming into a usable, true little rv.

To begin, your decision to buy a Humvee is awesome, the way it looks make you think it is sturdy and secure. Next, the use of the space is smart, knowing the limit of space you had and finally adding some gadgets is cool, it makes it seem higher quality amenities. I think that is something I would never get tired of.

I'd like to see others who have converted the Humvee to a RV. these are a lot more readily available than one might think, as they are on the Govt surplus auction sites literally every day and go for pennies compared to the cost of a Civilian H1.Yes there is paperwork but they are all cleared for sale to be used on US roads by US citizens. This one is definitely a good layout but as with all conversions, the different designs are a product of different minds... definitely would love to see other's Humvee builds. Also the MRAP 6 wheel truck is another military chassis that is super easy to acquire on the govt sites. at any rate this a really well done conversion.

They are NOT all cleared for US roads.... the rules for HMMWV's titling/registration for on-road use vary from state to state. About half the states now will not title a HMMWV for on-road use. My state will not allow you to get plates for it no matter if it was on-road-titled in another state like Utah. It's why that 17 digit VIN on a civilian H1 is worth the price you pay. Also be aware that there are over 30 changes that AM General made to the the structure of the H1 to make it meet safety regs at the time they were manufactured... including anti-decapitation brackets that the military didn't see fit to install. As someone who took a barrel roll in my first H1, I appreciate AM General going through that process.

@@nothingtoseaheardammitIm in Florida and you can title a lawn mower with a V8 and tail lights to drive on the hwy, and we have 100s of the military spec H1 on the road. you can also cut the body off a Honda civic and weld the body of a 65 mustang onto it. the initial rules of safety designs dont apply once a car has sold and esp if the state or county doesnt have inspections. This is why the US is great we get 50 diff options to choose where we want to live and what we want to do and have to put up with in laws.. ill stick to Florida.

now this is something different. just the idea of converting this into camper is something that never come to my mind. I respect the part that you can enter from the front without the need to go out into the element to get back to your sleeping space.

Beautifully done and very creative on the build as a whole. Very nice on power system and I personally would have 200 watt solar panels because I would want the AC and entertainment systems run all night lol. You should buy one of those tiny wood stoves to keep warm all night in the winter.

Thanks! I have a portable battery AC that works amazing. And for heat I thought about the stove but just tapped into the diesel and added a diesel heater

I’ve spent many an hour fixing these Humvees. My wife has spent many an hour driving them. This is an excellent use of an old FLA. my only problem with it is the keys in a Humvee.

Used to fantasize about something like this while in the Army. Hated these things.
