    I enjoy the Campulance man. He seems like a great guy. The first video of his that I saw was when he rescued an elderly woman who had gotten stranded in the woods. He is a her Angel.

    I've recently begun following David and Lefty. (My own Susie passed away...) and I get so much watching David and Lefty Live Life so fully! The relationship between those two is Priceless. They Connect. And that speaks volumes about both of them.
    Oh. Yeah. The ambulance.😁..I have begun viewing his early videos, and he's bringing it back to NYS. David thinks through Stuff. He's organized and talented. He addresses his unreasonable fears and overcomes anything placed in front of him. And he's great with puppies! Watch the puppies. They will tell you everything one needs to know. Right David??

  • @RingoTheGSP
    @RingoTheGSP 2 роки тому +6

    What a great long overdue tour of David's rig. So happy to see it on your channel Bob🤗 I was shocked that Lefty didn't tell some stories of his own! Those familiar with TheCampulanceMan know what a vocal rascal he is😁😁😁

    I worked on ambulances as a radio tech. David has made his home on wheels look as much unlike an ambulance as possible. And Lefty, there aren't enough words on the internet to describe how fantastic Lefty is!

    Thanks for showcasing fellow NYer David, Bob. He has a wonderfully informative , humble, and inspiring UA-cam channel. His persona of " let's learn together", combined with dog luvin goodness, resonates wherever The Campulance Man may wander. Scratches behind the ears for all fur babies. Happy Trails & Tails to all. Thanks for all you do Bob Wells.phil

    Nice build! Careful, if you have a gas leak 9:07, a spark from the water heater can cause an explosion. Propane tanks are only supposed to be stored outdoors (& upright), never in a building or shed, even.

    In Connecticut I bought a Chevrolet Shuttle bus and Allstate insured it as an RV for around $165 a year and the DOT registered it as a van, which it actually is anyway.
    You don't have to do everything all at once. When you think about it, you need to be comfortable (Heat and Ac) 365 days a year, be able to cook, sleep and have access to a bathroom. Then over time you make changes with a lot less stress on you. You can also spread out the cost. Plus, until you live in a van or bus, you won't know what you really need and want so it's easier to build it right the first time.

    Terrific video - I have been following David for about a year now. He is a master at mechanics and all things solar. I don’t have a mechanical bone in my body but still enjoy his channel. He is also very humble which is so refreshing in the UA-cam world. Of course and no offense to David, the real stars are his graceful and sweet daughter when he travels back to NY and without a doubt his dog Lefty who steals the show in every video!

    An enjoyable binge watch to get caught up, even with some of the info being way over my head 😃. Some nice upgrades and changes have been made since this tour was filmed.
    Glad to see The Campulance Man finally featured here

  • @mph5896
    @mph5896 2 роки тому +3

    Smart guy. He picked a decent drivetrain and got a southern vehicle that should be rust free. 7.3l Diesel is a very good engine, available in 1995-2002 ambulances. I worked as a paramedic for over 10 years and have personally owned ambulances. Stay FAR away from any 6.0l/6.4l Ford Diesel. Also I would pass on the 6.7l if you are on a budget. Diesels are REALLY expensive to fix if they have internal engine issues. A set of 8 fuel injectors could cost you $4-5k. The 2011 and Newer Ford V10 gas engines in ambulances are decent. Chevy duramax 6.6l is a decent diesel, BUT still expensive to fix. Chevy 6.0l gas is a very solid engine but really hard to find in an ambulance.

    • @melissahoffman4687

      An electric ambulance might fix that problem. No more gas. Just solar panels with an inverter or generator.

I'm loving the ambulance build instead of a van right now after watching this. Much appreciated, Kimberlee from Santa Clara, Utah. Near Zions and Bryce Canyon. 👍✌❤ P.S. I love the American Flag in the blower vent. 🇺🇸 #Patriot
