This Ambulance conversion has me really considering this type of build, how about you?

Seems like a small thing, but the garbage shoot is genius.

"The more things you have, the more problems you have.". Ain't that the truth.

The fact that his dirty laundry bin is in the same spot where the bio hazard bin in the ambulance I work in is so funny to me

Thank you for including what you do for money!! That's so often overlooked in all these TinyLiving/VanLiving videos on UKposts. I can't count the number of times I've wonder, "yes yes, I see your batteries, greywater setup and minimal lifestyle, but how are you PAYING to live in a treehouse on top of this mountain?" Is this truly a way to live more simply, or is wealth and privilege that allows for it? I've built and lived in two different tiny homes now, and I'm working on my new bus currently. Only because my aunt owns 18 acres outright will I have a place to park it, and pay nearly nothing for rent. That's luck and privilege making it so I can live this way. We need more transparency about how people make a go of tiny living for it to be holistically understood as a transition we can make at large.

Probably the best ambulance conversions I've seen.

Genius build. I would’ve sacrificed that second “seat” with the laundry in it for a compost toilet at least. Gotta have a toilet.

Using his fridge as a seat for his pull out table is ingenious. Love his build, very spacious and very functional. And all that for $13k? Extremely impressive. Very nice!

This guy is brutally honest about his build and his living space is really thought out. no space is wasted and it has a nice flow to it too.

Did anyone notice in his book space "How to talk to girls" How cute! 🥰

I love the leather strap idea for handles! No way of knocking a knee or something against a regular drawer handle.

I love everything, however, an addition of a toilet would be a must from me!

Just when you think it can't get any better he rolls a dirtbike off the back with its own ramp

$13k total build cost, ambulance included! I'm sold on the campbulance idea! Very thorough, complete build, great innovative ideas.

33 years ago I told my 14 year old son, what a great camper an ambulance would make. So glad you saw the potential and followed though. Good for you. Stay safe out there and have great adventures. Personally, l planned on leavening the emergency lights and siren in place. Only because my dream was to camp the woods of Alaska. Figured they'd be would be good to have in case a grizzly got curious. Set then off with a panic button next to the bunk. I'm old now but still planning on getting out there. Merry Christmas.

I've been bing watching all these camper van build stuffs but this is literally the best out of them. It feels really spacious and not suffocating. He even got his bike as a secondary ride.

Keeping the original cabinets definitely helped keep costs down, as those are things he didn’t have to spend money to rebuild. Also, he’s kept as many of the original features as what worked for him.

I ran rescue for years. The ambulance with the walk-thru was my favorite one! This is a great reuse of a work horse!

As a paramedic, I approve of this conversion. :)

Wow, Ben did an amazing job transforming this rig, I'm a Paramedic and worked out of one of these rigs for several years, ours wasn't 4 wheel drive though. I can say this, that unit is a beast, these were built for saftey, the heavily reinforced box is extremely safe. The compartment where Ben has the propane is where the main oxygen bottle was stored, the seat he was sitting in was the airway jump seat. It's great to see these being used like this, man, the stories that unit could tell OMG. Great work Ben. 🌴😎🌴FL

LOVE THIS.. the big drawback of van builds is the 4x4 .. I’m a woods nut and my family is primarily based in New England.. that means SNOW.. and by personal preference, I want to get more “rugged” places.. THIS Is EXACTLY what I was wanting and didn’t remember existed 😁😁😁lol.. LOVE THIS!! 💕 .. hes put a lot of himself into his home.. it’s great!!

I love the chill energy of this dude. What a practical beautiful build!

$13k and is way better than a lots of RVs out there Really good work you did amigo good for you 👍👍👍

Dayum. This is actually one of my favorite builds. I'd double the solar, and get more than 1000 AH in batteries to power a TV and laptop. And add a toilet. Which could all be added to the build with little hassle. Outside of that, seems perfect. For $13k, better than perfect. Love the fact, it would be relatively cheap to repair compared to many other vehicles that do the same thing. Saw one other build with a shower at the door. It's the way to go. And now that I have seen this, ambulance seems the way to go.

A beautiful build by a clever guy! What really struck me is how spacious it is on the inside and that he has a full-sized bed. Incredible ideas.

Very impressive. But I would definitely have to figure out a potty solution.

Dude this looks way roomier than any van I've seen. It's boxy inside and out, but with such a small frame (living in a car) Id rather have boxy and spacious than curvy and small.

This gave me so much hope, thank you so much. I'm still in high school and I'm dreaming of building a van for when I go to college because I can't afford rent. You always see these instagram people with their 40.000$ van conversions and I was really worried that I can't even afford to build a van, but you showed me that it can be done. Beautiful van btw!✌🏻

This is the single best ambulance conversion I’ve seen yet!

2 showers but no toilet? Love ur build but i would definitely need a toilet

Clever to keep the seat belts, well thought out. Yeah, a potty would be great.

I know why you laughed when talking about the PA system, I build ambulances for a living so I know that the PA system is also the siren amp. and I noticed the siren speakers are still in place under the front bumper. hahaha. nice build man. you did an excellent job.

That shower by the door is ABSOLUTELY incredible!!!

I am pleased that he recognized the great design and pure utility of the original cabinets. He is right that something as technically perfect would not be practical for him to try and build. Nice ambulance build!

You can’t imagine many deaths happen in an ambulance. Sage out those vibes and regain clarity at the highest levels. Take care ❤️

This is a great space. And the fact that it is already insulated & equipped with so many cabinets is a huge plus. But I continue to sit on the fence about whether or not van life is worth it. Since this build cost $13K, that breaks down to $1,088 per month if you were paying to rent a regular apartment (outside of most cities, of course). And living in an apartment you do not have to worry about your water supply, how much power your batteries have, where to shower, where to go to the bathroom or where to park. Covid really changed the game, too, when gyms & restaurants were no longer accessible to use for showering & bathroom needs. Yes, you have the freedom to roam but the gas mileage on this vehicle or a van with this much inside cannot do well on gas. You still have insurance & maintenance to worry about as well, not to mention safety & weather concerns. I want to try it so badly but I just cannot see how I would really save any money, and then the big question is how do you earn money if you do roam? I am so conflicted & I mean no hate at all. I just think I would have to go at it with the bear minimum (i.e. a mattress in a van or mini-van even) to try it out sort of like the nomads & Bob Wells teach. But that involves moving with the seasons to stay warm & living in the desert which scares me. LOL I am truly conflicted. But I would love to hit the open road. And again, great space.

I like how he acknowledges the safety and reliability of the ambulance. Saying his cabinets are safe because of the build of the ambulance is a nice addition to the video.

Your doorway shower gives me a great idea about how to handle wet dogs entering the vehicle! That shower curtain would be a life saver if you ever get a dog (shakeshake).

OMG. That modified sink as a shower basin is both a piece of art and absolutely genius. And the pull out hose is really slick. If and when I ever decide for an indoor shower, I think I may just use your idea!

LOL and WOW! I recognize your home for what it was - I worked on an ambulance 🚑 for 12 years. I gotta say, I love what you've done with the place!! 😁🧡🏠

There's not one thing about this conversion that I don't like.....so awesome! Really inspiring and I can't wait to get my own ambo. Well done....thanks for sharing!

This is awesome! I had no idea an ambulance would be so spacious. The existing storage and cabinets are brilliant. I love what you've done to adapt it to your lifestyle! This is great!

It's cool that it came with those high quality cupboards that you were able to repurpose. I really feel like an ambulance has a lot of pros compared to a minivan or even a sprinter

Coming from a retired female EMT-1A who worked 4.5 years for a private Ambulance Company, and many times having to drive the modular ambulances I have to say that this is the absolute best repurposed ambulance build that I've seen yet. I absolutely love 💕 this idea, and I think you did a fantastic job with the entire layout! I have to say out of all of the ambulances that I drove, that driving the modulars was the most comfortable, and stable hands down to handle over the Ford F-350 models that they came out with plus they had way more room to maneuver around in the back when giving patient care. Love that you utilized the old O2 compartment for your propane tank, as well as the on demand Hot H2O, and that you kept the original storage compartments, as well as adding the solar panels on your roof. I used to live full time in a 34 ft. Travel Trailer with two -outs that was originally going to be for just five years, that ended up turning out to be for fifteen years in total so I can relate to living in small spaces, and how your land yacht is laid out, and where each item goes is essentially important out of necessity. Watching your video took me down memory alley to not one but two really great and enjoyable times in my life making me long once again for the good old days and adventures. I wish you luck and happiness in your adventures in your "Big Ambi Girl". I'm curious to know just what kind of fuel she takes, as well as your gas ⛽ mileage. Have you added anything onto her like a Banks system to improve your fuel mileage (I'm not sure but I think maybe those are only for diesel engines though)?? Also curious to know if you had to insulate the living compartment for your travels to Montana and other cold states? Are you also using a propane heater? I'm don't recall you sharing that info but I could have easily missed that detail.

as a former medic -- HELL YEAH!!! this looks amazing!

I would get rid of the wardrobe for a toilet/shower. Clothes and shoes can fit under the bed.

This is really smart. He had this well thought out. I’m really into alternative RV’s and alternative houses.

I'm not sure I have ever seen a more sensible, utilitarian, comfy, economical build. S-W-E-E-T!

Frugal & Smart! Good idea to buy a ambulance for all the built-in storage space. So that's where old ambulances 🚑 go, Repurposed as Tiny Homes!!!! 🥰

now THAT is Faith, taking a shower right next to the clean clothes wardrobe

This is great! I love all of the already established cabinets and storage. I'm seriously considering this lifestyle after retirement, would have never thought of an ambulance.

Love it that the "ambulance" van is wide than a normal van. Love what you have incorporated into your van. Excellent use of space.

Only watched 33 seconds but I’m so impressed with the Sink-Shower-Step!! What a brilliant idea.

Love that it came with cabinets...sturdy and saves on building costs.😃

I’d call her Blue Bell! Thank you for tour. I love your ambulance home. I wish I had one just like it. It’s truly wonderful.

A dream tiny home. The interior cabinetry would cost thousands to duplicate...very industrial and tough. All the best for happy travels.

I love how this guy isnt trying to show off how "perfect" his van and lifestlye is (especially the part of the video where his jackets fall off the rack). He uses the space semi-efficiently for the purpose it provides (even if its not 100% organized). He keeps it simple and clearly doesnt stress too much about keeping his van looking perfect and I respect that!

This guy has such a sweet way of talking :) The house is full with such clever ideas, shower hiding space, leather strap (no bumping issue), that dustbin idea is just too good!

This dude is a genius, wow I’m impressed.

The amount of storage is insane!! I don't think I've ever seen a van with that much storage. All of the sturdy cabinets are super nice!

That garbage shoot thingy is genius. Best part of the ambo house.

Dude!! OMG your rig is so clever have you ever thought about going in a business and doing this full-time? I would pay you to build my rig for sure! 👍

I love this one. I like that he kept those awesome cabinets. Good for him. He did a beautiful job. Thanks for sharing.

I love how many times he said “it’s been nice” or “it’s been really nice”

This is one of the coolest small living trucks!! So much was already built in. So nice!! $13000!?! That's amazing 😀

Cedar to keep the bugs an tiny space musty smells down great choice...

This guys quarantine game is OUTSTANDING!

What he did with his build really makes sense to me, why reinvent the wheel. The cabinets are solid and well built and as far as I’m concerned they look good. He put his efforts into a well thought out space that meet his needs and is aesthetically pleasing. Good job and even better price. 🔝🍌

As many times as I have been in ambulances, I never imagined turning it into an actual home!

Of the absolute best ambulance builds I've seen.. I have never understood why people want to leave the bed on the side I love the fact that this one is across the back which is what I would do..

Nice build. I really like those original ambulance cabinets around the top. They're better than anything people build themselves.

Who would of thought because this a probably one of the most brilliant ideas I've seen for tiny homes.

May God protect you and keep you safe in your travels bro. Great job 😃👍

His shower is really ingenious. His home is beautiful.

You’ve done a GREAT job on this ambulance conversion! Congratulations. You seem like such a nice guy, you deserve it. Enjoy!

I love that you have tile in your kitchen area. Most people avoid doing tile work in a mobile house.

That is such a great build. I love all the compartments and storage on the outside, he got so lucky with that and the pass thru door and those cabinets. I just would have to have a bathroom for night time and times when I would wanna not let people know I’m there! I really really like this though. And He isn’t so bad himself either 😉

This is just gorgeous. I can’t believe how that divider makes a huge difference, and really makes it homey.

I'm usually not a "tiny home" person but THIS is awesome! Being a former paramedic I spent many an hour in the back of ambulances. Although they are adequate as emergency transport vehicles I never imagined they could be transformed into a practical/ comfortable living space. Very reasonably priced as well. At present I wouldn't see myself living in this home permanently but it makes a great RV! Enjoy the fruits of your MANY HOURS of labor.

Great build for a sweet price... And a Rig that will go deeper in the forest than most.

Even though much smaller than typical van / bus builds, this has everything you need in a much smaller more efficient area. Me personally love all the storage space. I do photography, videos and podcasting as well as outdoor sports stuff. I need that storage. And he had space for a "shower". I like it a lot.

Im 61, retired and go for an interview in two days to see if I qualify for new affordable housing being built in my community.. How I envy and admire your talent, thrift, independent spirit, and freedom......If I was twenty years younger, Id follow your lead, and be able to have affordable living, personal freedom, and space.....Well done, Sir....

Probably one of the best finds and conversions that I've watched; especially a built tough Ford with 4 X 4 . Small bike is perfect, but you could tow a small vehicle . The Gentleman is Focused & Organized ; knows what He wants in His Life. Excellent . Thanks and Good luck.

The entrance shower and closet is the best I have seen.

This is probably one if the coolest campulances I've seen yet,great job

Brilliant. The garbage bin was a highlight. Smart guy.

As a medic, I love seeing other ambulance living people!! I gutted mine and those cabinets are a b*tch 😂. This is lovely and seems like a great use of space!

as an Indonesian i really love when he open the cabinet at 4:18 . Btw it's a beautiful campervan.

He did a really good job. One of the best ambulance conversions I've seen.

An ambulance!!!! That’s the most amazing creative idea I’ve seen so far. Those things were built with so many safety features.... 👏🏼

Really nice build. What a bonus the cabinets with sliders and other found ambulance features. Subway tiles look great. How’s the power plant and drive train? You seem genuine and a decent human being. Smart too! Enjoy your freedom as long as possible.

i have yet to find a better conversion then yours. this really makes me want to live in an ambulance. great build

I've learned of a drill attachment for removing decals; so in case you're interested: Decal Removal Eraser Wheel w/ Power Drill Arbor Adapter 4"

Immaculately refreshing, airy, GREAT BUDGET, relaxing, peaceful, and surprising more spacious than I expected.... 🌟 ⭐ 🌟 ⭐ 🌟 ⭐ 🌟 ⭐

what a convinient ambulance. It already has storage. if i ever have a tiny house maybe i would get an ambulance this guy has

Where's your toilet? Did I miss that part? You did a great job!! I love it.

This is awesome. The space is utilized really well. I love that the shower is right by the door so any escaped water can run right out.

"The more things you have, the more problems you have." Yes! I'm slowly starting to adopt this mentality & am sick of the city life/consumerism. Minimalism seems more appealing these days. Just you, your van & nature. 🌿🤙

This is one of the best done conversions I've ever seen.

Awesome build! I love the simplicity, the fixed bed, the ice chest sized pull out fridge that doubles as a seat and the TW200. I'd swap the lead acid batteries for LiFePO4.
