I once thought that an ambulance would be the best conversion. That was until I spoke to my nephew, who is a paramedic, told me that the amount of body fluids and viscera that end up on the floor. All that makes it into the cracks and crevices of the unit. Wear gloves, perhaps a respirator as well.
Be careful removing support structures in the ambulance. Fiberglass cabins and trailers require supporting walls on larger glass cabins in order to hold additional weight and or stress you might place on the roof or ceiling. IE: Air Conditioning, Walking on it, etc. They are kind of like an egg, the shell is strong but can and will crack if overloaded. Be safe!
It is kind of amazing when you look at it, that an English born Irishman, who has spent the majority of his life, (55 years) living in Australia and now resides in a two bedroom cottage, gets excited every time a Canadian man living in a Van, posts a video of his daily life. Who would have thought. And I’m not even the least bit handy.
Michael O'Donoghue, get out and car camp, I don't have a van, and make shift my car to get out and about, nothing like feeling excited for your own adventures. Honestly you will feel great. I am UK 🇬🇧 and female and do it. Hope you can plan a trip even if camping in a tent which is exactly how I started out. Stay blessed.
Towards the end now…. Super sorry about t-spring. I have so much merch by you thru them. From 2 summers back. They are holding up. I wear it all the time. Except for my Cruz sweatshirt. It’s white and I wear it occasionally. It’s special. Disco too… Hang in there weirdo. It’s cool seeing you in the shop and will be AMAZING to see the ambo. KEEP PAYING IT FORWARD!
Hey Chrome, I live in Africa but not a day goes by without me checking out your videos. Keep it up, love to see your love for life in the real world. Hello Emi and Cruz.
So bro I missed a day or 2, been sick. Wow, realized just how addicted I am watching you, Cruzie, Emi & Kelly. It’s your zest for life! Thoroughly enjoying all you do. Thank you Chrome for your caring of others. You make my day!❤😊
Go local man, build out both bumpers with storage. that's my plan on mine. I agree with your mechanic. Its hard enough checking the fluids as is with my 4" lift. I plan on mine housing the winch, providing storage and a step on both front and rear without a winch.
Chrome.. :We love you work. Make sure your front bumper is a Winch Bar... which accommodates a winch of compatible capacity....It will set the Ambo up as a beast in the bush...
I’m really enjoying your journey. I am almost finished with my 10 fooT box, truck conversion, and you’ve helped me quite a bit, especially on the the positive enthusiasm for the build side of things. But watching your expertise in this really shows that I know nothing about this I’m really just kind of fumbling through everything.
02:00 that's his "don't-talk-to-me-without-Timbits-in-your-hand" look. Watch what you do with Teespring merch ... bought a hoodie, washed it once and now you can't read it and all the printing looks like it went through a shredder... Be sure that you check the printer's work. They work with a lot of different suppliers and some do much better than others.
Glad you found a local supplier so we pay in Canadian dollars. I hope that Tee-spring doesn’t give you any problems! You spend a lot of money there and right out the gate they get the new merch wrong! Not good. Be safe and keep em’ coming. 😉🍻
Hey Chrome and little Cruise, So great catching your video early today. It's 1:20am here in Perth, Western Australia 🇦🇺. Watching you working on projects is wonderful. I used to love watching and helping my older brother years ago, I do miss it. Have an awesome day and enjoy. Sending you huge hugs and love from here in Perth 🤗💖
I am not a fan of tspring the designs don’t hold up I bought shirts if yours before and the quality just isn’t there. Definitely don’t dry them to hot or they just degrade so fast. I understand the shipping dilemma for you as they are easy and cheaper to ship to the USA. Try bunker branding in Texas It’s owned by UA-camrs and only does UA-camr merchandise
I turn mine inside out to wash and don’t over dry. Hang tight before it will preserve them a little better. My converse one I wore and washed the most. It’s showing. But the rest and I have a few😁 are holding up great.
I think cruisy could use a step or something to get in the Amblo. You are creative, maybe you could fashion something that would slide back under the floor and when deployed, would provide a way for the pup to make his way into/out of the van on his own.
He talked about that a few videos ago and said when he had one he'd never use it but instead just jump out and try jumping back in when younger. His last bulldog was the same way about it. Some dogs never really get the hung of multiple steps like that or even ramps
Hey chrome, that was a fun video. I can’t wait to see what you do with the inside of the ambo and your new engine with the lime green and the black is awesome looking I look forward to your next video you and Cruz are so much fun you guys always make my day. Be safe out there and stay warm.🇺🇸♥️✌️👍🙂🐾🏔️🚐🇨🇦
Yeah it’s not fair you spend so much time creating the art and creativity of your images the company you choose it should reflect the same way when it’s produced ☝️💯👍! Yay cruzeeeee ♥️🐾🐶!
Hey man, I'm sure a thousand other people are offering right now as well, but I work for a print shop. We'd be honored to work with you! I have no say in pricing and design, but I can connect you directly to the owner. We've done one off prints and huge championship game contracts so no order is beyond our scope.
Hey chrome go see William Halsall at vice design he is one amazing fabricator and is close to your shop hope you get your build done soon and get some exploring done in the old girl
When you have a stripped head a drill works great. Subwoofers can usually be installed singly as the aren't stereo. Put one nice one in and save space.
Chrome, sadly a lot of the big companies have trouble finding ppl to work for them and the ppl they do have as employees don't necessarily have the experience as their past employees bc they are just hiring bodies that will work and therefore their merchandise suffers! Finding a local Mom and Pop company is the best way to go if possible!!
Chrome alot of van life choices you've made I've followed. I used to have crappy vac now I finally broke down got a dyson never owned one before my dog they are amazing. I been waiting for ambulance updates as I'm sure everyone is lol. Man that thing is cool. I have a promaster myself.
Hello Chrome we’re here watching just home from work, bummer about the Murch. Super cool to see you working on the ambo, still waiting on The sticker pack. Well we’ll catch you on the next one
Hey, loving your channel. As a diabetic, and you showing videos of doughnuts, I love it. As long as those doughnuts are not in my house, I won't eat them! You're awesome!
I can do your merch produced locally in Vancouver & give you free delivery to anyehere on Vancouver Island & I can even set up direct to customer individual shipping if that's required.
I wish I was back on the Island! But I am American. And I am stuck here in Babylon! I enjoyed the video buddy! Man I miss the hell out of my friends that live in Duncan, Crofton, Tofino, and Victoria! Cheers man.
Finally you see it! Tee spring sucks! I ordered hoodies from them from your channel and the printing came off after ONE WASH! Not impressed for the amount of outlay… They sent replacements and the same thing happened. Now I’m pissed! I mentioned this to you a year ago when I talked to you in Vancouver. Better to use a local company who can do an awesome job. Try BOLD MERCHANDISE in North Vancouver. They do awesome work.
Thaaaaaaaaaaa Beast! Let's goooooooo the van is coming along. Get you two bumper locally Chrome at the same location. So if anything happens you can replace them easily!👍
Maybe Cruzie is worried about splash back, 🤣 if he hikes as opposed to squats! I had a male dog that also preferred squatting. Or maybe Cruzie knows to avoid shifting body weight on less than 4 legs, especially since his previous injury. 🍖🐕 Q & A?? How much does Cruzie weigh? All muscle I bet! Stay safe out there. 🕊
Lol I have a female Boston Terrier, she always lifts her leg to pee on a bush, 😂 we stay the winter in Southern Arizona, Quartzsite area. Love 💕 your videos.
There's a youtuber owned clothing print shop, granted you may want local, these guys are in Texas, they are Bunker Branding, Matt owns it with his wife Mare, he also has 2 UA-cam channels Demoltion ranch and off the ranch, and prints clothing for other youtubers. Edit You're probly happy with your sticker people, I vaugly remember they might print stickers also??
You (everyone-someone) may already know this. Magnets. Yep and they are real helpful in my van. I have lots of metal exposed though. Magnets for the outside too. Burp where can I hang my towel... Magnet, towel van. Hum!
Light prints on dark shirts need a base layer of white, flashed, then another coat of white in order for them to pop.
I love to see you give Emmy a big hug, show her affection. Great couple.

Cruisy must have some sweet breath after the fresh fish lunch!!! Love that Bull Dog !!!
Does anyone else enjoy Chrome lifting Mr. Cruz's rear end in to the van? I love that every time I see it. Weirdos unite truly.

Hey there Chrome! Cruz, that face! Hi Emi! ❤ love to see you guys hug like that. I can feel it all the way to here.
Don't get down on yourself. You inspire me daily. I am at the bridge to canada right now by port huron about to camp in my van.
Yay, and i just ordered some blow out sale stickers!!!! 😊 🙏 ty!

Emi's hair looks amazing at Timmy's. Compliment her on her gorgeous hair, she deserves it.

Lovely morning from Plenty Saskatchewan! I wish i was out there too!
Those hoses are rear A/C hoses that originally kept the work area cool.
They dont have collant, they were for refridgerant
You and Emily are just so amazing together! I love seeing her more in videos the last month. She peeks in every so often lol she is adorably shy

That spot in the Ambo would be perfect for a composting toilet & permanent place for your shower, with a drain in the bottom.
U got personality's /knowledgeable that makes u likable human being.
Emi still looks great without the fake up, love the natural look 👌
I can hardly wait to see your ambulance completely done!😃
It’s so exciting watching you make choices about everything!❤️
Glad you found a local supplier so we pay in Canadian dollars. I hope that Tee-spring doesn’t give you any problems! You spend a lot of money there and right out the gate they get the new merch wrong! Not good. Be safe and keep em’ coming. 😉🍻
I see all clothing comes with the added bonus of Cruz hair. 😅 He is such a characterful little dude. .... just gorgeous.
Hi Chrome and Cruzie Bear, This video just goes to show that a little demo soothes the soul. 😊

Crazy I have a couple sweat shirts I've had for over 10 years, not That brand though
Bunker branding has great customer service as well!

You are an awesome Life Coach, I am learning from your work ethic!
loving the ambo work. I can confirm that uk ambulances are JUST as ridiculously toughly built. Can't recall how many oscilating blades i got through.

Oh my goodness, you guys are so adorable together. I love the video! 😊

If the sun is over the yardarm it's time to crack open a cold one. It's the Law.
It's the Afternoon here in Norfolk Virginia but. " heyyyyy" 😊
Have a great day!! ☺️

I STILL WANT THE MERCH!! BOUGHT STICKERS TOO! I GOT MORE RESPONSE FROM YOU!!

Take a break man,you deserve it. Love the ambulance build!
Cool hi from Québec comming your Way before the end of this year
Hi Pal, always great to see your wonderful videos 💯
Hey, loving your channel. As a diabetic, and you showing videos of doughnuts, I love it. As long as those doughnuts are not in my house, I won't eat them! You're awesome!

Hey Chrome and Cruz!! I love your content. Wishing you safe travels ❤. NewJersey ❤
Morning fellas
I wish I was back on the Island! But I am American. And I am stuck here in Babylon! I enjoyed the video buddy! Man I miss the hell out of my friends that live in Duncan, Crofton, Tofino, and Victoria! Cheers man.
As always, thanks for your inspiration to get things done. It's getting there!
Try Bunker Branding. They are UA-camrs themselves and they know quality.
Let's get it, LET'S GO, EXCITED
I always try to watch to very end. I know every second of watch time is valuable.
Dustin at Back Door Fabrication is Local to you and has trail proven fab skills.
Check out Ujoint Off-road in the states for your bumpers.
Omg Chrome!!! You used Grodie!!!
1978 A&W former kitchen worker. That's what we called the nasty stuff we would scrape off the grill! Yuck!
the nice prints look like they are screen printed but the washed out ones look like a poor thermal print.
Check out Aluminess for your bumper and rack needs.
I'd say cap the hose ends and call it a day. No reason to even take them out firewall. They are sealed and really aren't hurting anything.
What an adorable shotgun! He's so cute!
Finally you see it!
Tee spring sucks!
I ordered hoodies from them from your channel and the printing came off after ONE WASH!
Not impressed for the amount of outlay…
They sent replacements and the same thing happened. Now I’m pissed!
I mentioned this to you a year ago when I talked to you in Vancouver. Better to use a local company who can do an awesome job. Try BOLD MERCHANDISE in North Vancouver. They do awesome work.
Thaaaaaaaaaaa Beast! Let's goooooooo the van is coming along. Get you two bumper locally Chrome at the same location. So if anything happens you can replace them easily!👍
I live you Chrome and Cruzey....your videos ROCK!!
QUESTION: Whatever happened to the drafting students and the design project?
Still happening. They are designing the inside while he works on everything else
@@TG-bz3wu tankies
Your dog is adorable!!! Love seeing him!!!!!!!!!!
Subwoofer boxes would make great small tables or ottoman style seats!
Thank you for sharing
Go with someone in your local area to make both bumpers. Cruze is still adorable!
Maybe Cruzie is worried about splash back, 🤣 if he hikes as opposed to squats! I had a male dog that also preferred squatting. Or maybe Cruzie knows to avoid shifting body weight on less than 4 legs, especially since his previous injury. 🍖🐕 Q & A?? How much does Cruzie weigh? All muscle I bet! Stay safe out there. 🕊
If you come to Victoria any time, get in touch and we can have coffee.
Cruzie !! Health conscious by dipping the tip, he’s keeping it clean 😂
Demo is a blast! Cruzie is just not a morning pup! He loves his fish. 🤣 This ambo is going to be amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Time for some new wiper blades Chrome!
Full moon tonight is making some of us overwhelmed.
Why not get a winch on the front??
Use Vice Grips to remove rusty screws.
Great video Chrome xx
You gonna get sick if you keep eating out all da time. Happened to me when I lived in my van. I was sick for a year 😓
He usually just does breakfast when in town and makes his own lunch and dinner in the van or shop.
Are you gonna use any of the students designs for the ambulance?
That spot by the door would be great shoe storage.
For those of us here who also have channels, please tell us the name of the crappy company vs. the good one so we can use the right one 💜
tspring crappy...Bunker Company great
Yeah, I paid for a t shirt and sticker- I never got the sticker and the print on the shirt cracked after a few washes
Lol I have a female Boston Terrier, she always lifts her leg to pee on a bush, 😂 we stay the winter in Southern Arizona, Quartzsite area. Love 💕 your videos.
Chrome, I heard T Spring has recently changed ownership and has since become a cluster fu.!...
I’ve got similar problems with Printful print on demand. They just don’t care about quality the same way an actual shop owner would.
Chrome...I thought those High School students came up with a design for the Ambo you had blessed and were going to build to...what happened to that?
There's a youtuber owned clothing print shop, granted you may want local, these guys are in Texas, they are Bunker Branding, Matt owns it with his wife Mare, he also has 2 UA-cam channels Demoltion ranch and off the ranch, and prints clothing for other youtubers.
Edit
You're probly happy with your sticker people, I vaugly remember they might print stickers also??
You (everyone-someone) may already know this. Magnets. Yep and they are real helpful in my van. I have lots of metal exposed though. Magnets for the outside too. Burp where can I hang my towel... Magnet, towel van. Hum!
Are some of those lines running to the back air conditioning lines? Love the progress.
Hey bro
It’s all good you can ordered it
I won’t be mad on you 😛
I thought it was something I did. My hoodie with the original logo… the logo has bled into the material. Their quality has gone WAY down.
Still love my Pillow my fiancé got from your merch page!
Another excellent video chrome.
"All that extra space" can you fit the house batteries there?
Love WELDTEC! I raised my Class C weight them, best money I've spent!
Summer must be just around the corner for you now
Traplines and Inlines had the same problem with tspring,
When does springtime come to the island Chrome?
