First Day With Our Ambulance... didn't go as planned!
C'è armonia tra di voi e perciò anche in quello che avete costruito. Credo sia davvero il lavoro per voi, parla di libertà di espressione, unione nel lavoro e nella vita, armonia appunto 😊 complimenti complimenti 👏👏💯💯
Didn't you sell the Ambo?
We did!
Very nice great craftsmanship, keep up the togetherness makes for a perfect marriage. ❤
Thank you! That means a lot to us 🤍
Awesome job 🫂🫂🫂🫂
Thank you!! ☺️
Your dog looks like my dog's twin brother....🐕🐕
Awww ☺️ golden's are the best!
Hi guys it's so cool especially the bed for your dog under your bed
Thank you! Our dog loved the bed, so glad we added that to the build!
I'm late to the party but I'm horrified neither of you wore gloves or masks when stripping all the stuff out of an old and obviously well used ambulance!!!😮😮😮
Yeah, we probably should have 😅
One way to make it Look Homey is to out pics on the walls and put green plants inside. Then it will be a home
If you were going to take out all the storage boxes you should have just bought a box truck That way you wouldn't have had to do all the unnecessary work that you're doing.
Well we really only cut out 1 whole box. And ambulances are built much more structurally sound than a box truck.
I think the extension is great, but I think the table is too wide. You can't stand up when the table is extended. You have to push the table in every time you want to stand up. LG Michel
Yes it was either that or the table is too far away from you when you eat. Every decision has its pros and cons of course.
Do you have a full price break down?
Unfortunately we do not
wow. great build guys. love your van. ❤
Thank you so much! ☺️
awesome job you guys!! How do you know what wires to take out?
We ended up taking them all out! But on top of that, the original builders labeled all of them!
Nice 👍🙂
Thank you! 😊
I clicked on you're build as I'm looking to build out an ambulance also. After 5 minutes of listening to your background music I just couldn't stay for the whole 32:10 . I don't understand why background music is played??
This is a recap video that is suppose to be entertaining, it would be boring without music. We have our full build documented in over 20 videos with more explanation if you are interested. 🙂
Best page! Come on people subscribe 👏🏿
Thank you!! We love your support!
WoW vraiment impressionnant et instructif
Merci beaucoup!!
Captivating video from start to finish of your amazing work. Worth saying over and over …you all are truly inspirational and achievers! Continue to go after your dreams! So proud of you !
Thank you so much! We appreciate your support!!
Beautiful
I’m subscribing great video
Thank you! Means a lot to us :)
Very comprehensive description of everything thanks guys! Great build
Glad you liked it!
On hot humid nights without turning on the A/C why didn't you install a max air fan? Is the 400 w solar roof panels enough to keep your batteries topped off? Clean build...
We do have a max air fan! At night we open up a window and suck air out of the fan and it would create a nice breeze! Yes 400w is perfect for us, we never run out of electricity. Thank you :)
All the places that you went to in the North Cascades National Park Complex are located within the Ross Lake National Recreation Area, including Diablo Lake & the visitor center.
I love how you did your spices ! I have a ton of spices
Thank you!!
@@stephandmicah very welcome!
@@stephandmicah and thank u for replying! I've been trying to get another creator to respond but she wont
This is my dream. Are the electrical components difficult? I don't understand that stuff but I want to be fully off grid
They can be a little challenging but with enough patience and research I believe anyone can do it. We have a build episode about the electric system you can check out.⚡️
@@stephandmicah thanks a bunch!
You guy need some snow ⛓️ chains
Yes indeed!!
You may have covered this in the past but... We just bought an ambulance to convert. The VIN has it listed as a commercial vehicle. It is titled as an E350 but the VIN still shows it as commercial. For insurance purposes how do we get that changed?
For our situation we didn’t need to change the registration. But I was in contact with our local tag office to work out the details if I wanted it to be registered as an RV.
One of the best builds I ever seen 😀
WOW!! Thank you so much!
Did you have chains or 4x4 for the snow? My rig has neither so just curious how you guys felt?
We had neither chains nor 4x4, which is why we were nervous. But we went slow in low gear and it handled surprisingly well. We didn’t slip or slide once while others around us clearly did.
I would feel weirded out honestly wondering how many people took their last breath in there 😢
But think about how many lives were saved in it! 🙌🏼
@@stephandmicah That is true !
Do you guys ever experience any paranormal things in it?
No we haven't haha!
I love the badlands national park
Such a magical place!
has anyone spoken to you about starting an ambulance. All jocking aside please read up on diesel engines, turn key wait for glow plugs to heat up then start it then wait for oil presure and temp to build before driving off please. Our ambo has a faactory heater in the back, a heater in the front and glad to see you picked up a small heater our diesel heater is not the chinese type and has not falled us in two years. Good video we lived in ours two years now.
We bought the ambulance from the fire department directly and they did explain to us how to properly drive a diesel truck 😊 we take good care of it! That's awesome that you live in an ambulance too!
What happened 9 months. No Post
We got pregnant ☺️🤰🏼 we hope to be back on YT more often once the baby is here!
First so glad you made it through the snow storm. Second gorgeous drone shots. Third missed your videos. Fourth look forward to Baby McWhorter coming! Epic!❤🎉
Ho my God! That was so scary! I'm glad you guys are ok. Take care 😊
Thank you! it was so scary!
Background music too loud, off putting, gave up halfway.
Ok 🙃
Loved your rig. Especially, the interior. I think, you guys can create sitting deck on top as there is plenty of space left.
Thank you! Yes that's would be so cool!
I got to see it 2 days ago, and it was awesome. I love bison so definitely one of my favorite parts was when we first entered the park we had bison 🦬 walk in front of our truck. I also saw a rattlesnake which was cool (I saw it from a distance not up close😅.) O also I saw bighorn sheep climbing the cliff which was cool and badlands is my new fav national park I hope to come back and camp there some day
where did you get the cup holder attachment?
We found it on ebay! It wasn't cheap though 😅
Cool rig.
Thank you!
Nice rig.
Do you know what your final price for everything was? Iv been wanting to do this forever! I loved the video!
We don't know exactly but anywhere between 20k-25k including the price of the ambulance! thank you so much!!
@@stephandmicah thank you for your response! I ended up binge watching most of your videos lol
That is a really awesome build you all did a awesome job on that I love it😊😊😊
Thanks so much! 😊
This is awesome! what kind of MPG do you get? is it hard to go stealth in an ambulance?
We get about 11-12 mpg. And kind of, it doesn’t exactly look like a normal ambulance from outside. Although we’ve never gotten the knock.
@@stephandmicah glad to hear it!
HOMEBULANCE
3
It’s for intubation
Great build & some brilliant ideas Stay safe on your travels That door to cab is ace~ u can move if ur being hassled or in an emergency. ☆☆☆☆
Thank you!
Admit it, Steph pooped her drawers when you got stuck!
Nice build!! A few photos or some kind of artwork/craft on the walls would add a pop of color and some personality.❤😊
Yess! We eventually did put up some postcards we got from our travels, but I agree that it needs a pop of color and personality! :)
Where is a good place to buy an ambulance I been looking but can't find any good prices
We were lucky and won an auction on Ebay and it came directly from the fire department, definitely look on Ebay! Check out our first video of our conversion series and you'll see how we got it! :)
