I was a mechanic for over 42 years.. now my body is a traun wreck.. you got out just in time...good job guys

[@missdragonflies81]

I love their mindset as much as the ingenuity in the Ambulance camper.

[@MJ-ge6jz]

Out standing build, this is in the top 1% , not to mention the 4 x 4 conversion! The cool thing as this couple eventually moves on to bigger and better thing you can sell this conversion for a good chunk of money. Enjoy the journey!

[@jamesbuckingham8073]

The van is awesome, hearing their comments on why was the best part with me. They understand that life is not a dress rehearsal. Safe travels!

[@tynitahaines4012]

That's a beautiful ambulance. They did a great job on the build.

[@trekfortruth2841]

What a cool couple...good job Nate!

[@mohnishbhamare8606]

I love the way you enjoying with pets...

[@bonniepwtf]

I enjoyed hearing their story and reasons for the life change. Great build.

[@willcoll8789]

What an amazing story, such beautiful work, and such an amazing and beautiful couple! Thank you all!

[@blubberywhale9247]

this is an awesome one, just bought myself an abulance today

[@the_katman2181]

That's such a great living space. Nice dogs too, specially the one with the eyeliner.

[@synsilver3315]

Please pass along to Jake & Tara, that I think they're inspiring in so many ways ( and especially their life's attitude ). It was so nice to hear their story, and their passion for life going forward. They are awesome, tell them I said so !!! Thanks again. Always, Syn Silver.

[@luvthigod]

I thought 20plus minutes was too long … now I wish you showed more 😊. God bless this couple. Amazing talent and skill between them both.

[@CITAP1]

Lovely young couple, beautiful ambulance 🚑 build, well done video.

[@mistermusic140]

Jake And Tara really did an amazing job on this conversion. They should start a youtube channel I would definitely subscribe.

[@raysboatingandadventure1277]

Nice change up, thanks. Happy trails

[@tinamellott4949]

We just met this couple yesterday. So great of a couple. They seem to love each other so much. We Tim and I wish you so much luck!

[@TimmyCramer]

What a kickass setup!!! Timmy C Arizona

[@scratchcratch]

I've seen quite a few converts, and this one is very impressive. Experience in the automotive industry definitely delivers dividends, but what a well-thought-through project. I wish you luck on your journey!

[@keyplayer5]

Such a good interview. Loved their spirit and their build. Thanks for sharing!😊

[@rvboondocker2559]

And you all play awesome trivia! It was terrific to meet you guys!😊

[@FloridaNativeMike]

Best ambo build I’ve seen! Great work and thanks for sharing with us!

[@eddiewalker7252]

Amen, True ministers of Hope, for Life, Love and the end time light in the midst of darkness!

[@grayeagleswolves]

Hey Nate and Shannon What's going on this couple and their build is great Every one should take this and make it their own too

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

Incredible build! So high end! Great skills to make this nomadic home! Thanks!🦌💌❤️🚙

[@lillypatience]

Great job! They’re very knowledgeable and articulate.

[@alohatvj]

The couple is very nice 👌. Love ❤️ their ambulance van build very much. Two thumbs up 👍.

[@GTindall-ot2xk]

Jake and Tara watching you both and looking in your eyes I see two wonderful spirits and your light. This is going to be a wonderful journey. Go see what the Great I AM created for us all and enjoy the the path he has put you on. Enjoy your travels and maybe we will meet some day. Well done on your conversion!

[@jeanvanveghten8861]

That is sharp!😊

[@lorichaulk5583]

What a nice build

[@vision-gc4hy]

All the good fortunes to them both + the pooches.

[@leann4925]

Like the idea of the A/C and heat. I guess they have away of taking a shower. The oven is great to cook in as well. Enjoyed and thanks!

[@element-dh9dx]

This is cool , your solar system is really nice. Ovens are cool units too, but after seeing what a good air fryer can do, it's awesome. You can just put an air fryer in your camper. They are really clean to use too, they make the camper smell but it's not dirty. I'm not going to ever fry a burger inside a camper, so all I need is like a small stove. A stock ambulance f350 can work fine, with some solar and battery upgrades, showering is the hardest part. It would look cool how it is. I found one with a large enough rear storage I think you can step inside. So it has like a 6 foot bench section with pads, all all I need is a couple coolers or a fridge there, I can make a small bed there, memory foam on top of that platform, you can use that as a bench and a table either or. Another option for a single person is a hammock, I like the stock rails on the ceiling and the lights even. That would be good place to have a shower, if you can fit inside the thing in the back, from the outside. I like the idea of using the compartments for electrical, water and a shower or generator. There's plenty of storage in various places inside.

[@bigbearontherun6441]

Nice build. Still in search of my ambulance.

[@dyerarch]

Great video. More when you can 😊

[@livingsimplytosimplylive6817]

A great build, and an amazing couple. Thank you for sharing their home with us.

[@clydesmith1855]

Stunning set up. Thank's for sharing.

[@como5555]

very nice build..

[@thomasharhen2168]

Holy shit that build is awesome

[@SuperClare]

Wow! Beautiful build, beautiful couple! 🏆🏆🏆

[@h.a.barker412]

Really nice ambo! They were great to listen to and good filming! Thank you for this video!

That's awesome, guys! And Happy Cinco de Mayo!!🎉🎉🤗🤗💕

[@hopemorrison2367]

God bless you all wish you the best for life

[@smile83tye]

Love The Video and all that you done. Thank you

[@9thGenerationCajun]

I've been hoping to see someone add a slide-out or a pop-up tent on the roof with inside access. Sick build I'd love to have it.

[@llorylloyd]

Great layout. It has everything you need. My question as probably a lot of people where's the restroom and shower? What a big bed.

[@lindalawson4296]

Thanks for sharing!

[@nvalles2565]

Bought my ambulance in June. Yes you can just get it and go with some camping equipment. And I think of my ambulance as saving lives! Ever think any other way.

[@amye4087]

Nice conversion.

[@sassyd8738]

Very nice I love you have some spaceand the layout is niice also love it!

[@nvalles2565]

It’s the little things that I like in this ambulance. The latches and where to put some things.

[@SilviaGaray-yx1rn]

Really Nice Design 👏👏👏

[@reidcrosby6241]

I have two quigley cutaways. 97 and 03. Both 7.3. I LOVE to single them out to 19.5 rims ..then only 4 tires. Cant air down but super efficent vs duals. Done this on F350s as well. Yours must be an AEV as the layout is a twin to my 03 AEV.

[@JorBrouwer]

What a cool build! i imagine being in there myself having to figure out for days what everything is for haha. says a lot about the creativity of these guys i guess

[@denisebernard3062]

Great video !!!!!

[@carmentaylor3706]

We have a similar ambulance conversation except our front end is a Freightliner which we love. Our set up is different we have a separate toilet and a separate shower and our bed folds up which we have on a remote control to fold our bed up when we’re done. It opens things so much with the bed up into a couch. we always open the back doors and we get some great air flow. We absolutely love our conversation we named The Beast. It’s just my husband I and our three fur babies but now it’s only 2 fur babies we just lost out 14 years old large dog last week. We wouldn’t trade our Beast for any vehicle RV out there. We also have the same steps to go up to the top as well we love that too it’s a great feature. They might want to change the red lights on top because that is against the law in certain states, just a warning and they are pricey to change to white. It’s an awesome conversation I hope they enjoy it as much as we do ours.

[@chuckfowler4754]

Excellent conversion👍. Good video

[@gew12]

Molly been on the catnip again on that first shot 😂

[@sublimeister9630]

I would have added a soft fabric to cover that shiny ceiling… Otherwise a great build. The great lesson here is to reuse what’s already there. 👍

[@melusine826]

So jealous of American ambo boxes- so much easier to build in and way bigger. Mine is 1992 f250 petrol and she doesnt have a box - she has a much smaller weird fibreglass odd shapped body/roof. I can JUST stand up inside. Just

[@luisv8413]

13:48 you’re welcome

[@georgewalker7464]

Hey Tara and jake, nice rig I have a 2003 horton 7.3 diesel just wondering what u did to use the wiring , I can't use any of mine been in it 2yrs, have fun, God bless

[@eyalofer5015]

Amazing build. I wish you guys would build and sell a similar one. I am in.

[@elaineearl2315]

what about a bathroom and shower?

[@joanies6778]

👍👍👍

[@bmacster1985]

He could build and flip these for a living. Could probably sell these for $200,000++

[@wardsdotnet]

Front facing red lights could be a legal issue in some states

[@skonstas4683]

Toilet? Bathroom?

[@tombradydid9114]

The outdoors

[@Louis-lv7wt]

Dude! my biggest worry, having to walk crouched. I too am six feet tall and want to do an ambulance build, but raising the roof will be the first thing I will do.

[@onlyvansllc]

We weighed this option as well, the amount of extensive work needed to raise the roof wasn't worth it for us. Tho it would be a convenience, the ceiling height doesn't actually bother me at all. And I was WORRIED it would. I'm 6ft as well. Bed height I've found to be the more crucial headroom factor. To each his own.

[@michaelwooda9444]

What kind of mpg? I'm guessing 13 mpg. I'm looking at one right now to do something similar

[@onlyvansllc]

13mpg is spot on for average. Wind has a significant impact. We have gotten as good as 15mpg

[@tomrollingstone]

Toilet, shower?

[@ElementLife]

They have a small camp toilet for emergency use (forgot to show in video). There is an outdoor shower, this is shown at the beginning of the video.

[@tomrollingstone]

Anyone know where you can get insurance for one of these?

[@kathryncainmadsen5850]

I have an ambulance now and want to covert it! I am not going to do much myself. Who should I look to for help??? I am in WNC

[@onlyvansllc]

We’d love to hear more on your build! We are currently in your neck of the woods! Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or help, pending your location!

[@elelegidosf9707]

Propane tank 1 foot away from a gasoline generator in the same compartment? Interesting...

[@waimeaguyz9074]

Where's the toilet?

[@musicmatters1114]

Where's the toilet and shower?

[@garyoverton]

These kid's have a lot to learn. Heat vent up high. AC down low?

[@bluemew88888]

My question for an ambulance camper is do they have hassle from cops, and other people when it comes to parking for normal things. If they didnt have a bike would parking it at a store, downtown, etc normal places be impossible.

[@Bellasafari]

I wish he could stand up…that would be a no go for me.

[@robinharris4247]

I would be worried if someone thought it was an ambulance and wanted to break in looking for drugs.

[@CharlesAnsman]

Onlyfans ?

[@alzathoth]

the best? nope. take a hard look at the engineer' ambulance build.

[@zoeolivas9288]

I'm curious, did you need to get a special license to drive the ambulance?

[@hafizmiau]

best conversion ? not for me.

[@hopemorrison2367]

Seems like the gas for that truck will keep you broke it will put you out of business soon

[@cfh4201969]

The steering geometry is wrong.

[@roadiemort3589]

You spend all that money and can't even stand up straight, don't understand why no roof raise.

[@Blockhead140]

That dog is underfed. You can see its ribcage.

[@shac9131]

I am a certified professional healer, psychic medium, space clearing and Feng Shui. Do not buy an ambulance to live in guys!! It is associated with so much death, stress and tragedy. I certainly wouldn't accept a job offer to clear the energies out of one unless paid minimum 5 grand and I may even decline still. It's the same thing as moving into houses. The past affects your health, emotions and mental state without even knowing the history before moving in!! I could give so many examples of this in every category. And I barely tune in whenever I see these converted ambulances because it's such wrecked energy. I just always confirm it. And I'm not even going to watch this video.

[@ZEVONLIN]

No it doesn't

[@MJ-ge6jz]

Sga C, You have a point but all the problems you speak of can be countered with various energy / frequency work and set the entire RV conversion to a neutral state having no further effect on the new owners. Just thought to point this out, even though you pointed out it could be a big job? I purchased an Ambulance and did the cleanse myself with zero issues.

[@onlyvansllc]

She fails to connect with the surplus of lives this rig has saved and families that owe their gratitude to these vehicles and the 1st responders that helped save lives. Realize this can be a healing vessel too, much more often than she may think.😊

[@shac9131]

@@onlyvansllc Ah... Once again. Every single one is wrecked / bad energy. I strongly do not advise it for very many factors

[@ellafields9424]

Different strokes for different folks. Awesome transformation! Lotsa talent there. Love the 🐕 🐕 Your talents could be a lucrative business. Happy Trails

[@Mr.DontGiveAFuck]

Great Job to these two.... I just got me a 1986 E350 Ambulance... I don't have all the resources like these two or others... But Yes... Shouldn't take to much of creative mind to create a masterpiece.. Alot of your their ideas are a big help to implement into a project...
