    My name is David and with my dog Lefty we travel the country in our ambulance conversion RV. I made this change to my life and you can too! Like, subscribe and comment! Lefty would appreciate it - he wants the adventures to keep coming!
    The Campulance is a 2002 Ford E450 Marque Commando 164 Class III ambulance powered by the Ford 7.3l Powerstroke turbo diesel engine and a 4 speed 4R100 transmission. Lefty is a 68lb American Staffordshire Terrier (best I can tell) that came from the Verona Street Animal Shelter (www.vsas.org/) in March 2014 at the age of 9 months. We have been living full time in the campulance since July 2019. #ambulancelife #vanlife #staffordshireterrier

    Not sure why people would cry if the motorcycle is from "overseas". The only good bikes, IMO, are made in Japan and Germany/Austria. I guess people don't realize that Kawasaki, Suzuki, Honda, and Yamaha are Japanese companies. BMW is German. KTM, GasGas, Husky, etc are Austrian. You don't really have any good options from USA/North America for the type of bike you want.

    Hi David and Lefty! I love being anywhere there is water. I live close to the Columbia River in SE WA State. My friend has a silver lab who she takes to the river just about daily…..Hope loves to jump off of the boat docks! She doesn’t care if it’s hot and summer, or freezing and winter, Hope is going in the river and swimming. Even when they leave the docks and are just walking alongside the river, she is always getting in to swim. I really enjoy watching yours and Lefty’s adventures. I don’t have a dog anymore, but I do have my Mom’s 2 cats I took in when she died.

    When you were talking about pans falling off the shelf in the other video, i didn’t comment because I was sure someone else would comment the same “fix”. I sew and this fix is obvious to me because I’ve done similar. Fabric and Crafts stores like JOANNS, and probably Walmart, sell rolls of waistband elastic in different widths and stiffnesses. I would suggest getting 1 to 1.5 inch rather stiff waistband elastic and run a few strips vertically up from the face of the shelf. Pans can be pushed between and through the strips easily and the strips will then gently retain the pans from sliding forward.

    Lefty knows exactly where he is. My dog knows every rest stop across America that we have stopped on. So, do tell what went on in your attic Dave...was it haunted?? Lol why didn't you get in the water with Lefty? My dogs love the waves and I can't keep them out, even if it's cold water. Lefty likes the local calm stream near the house. What a beautiful beach. Is there camping there?

    • @TheCampulanceMan
      @TheCampulanceMan  3 місяці тому

      Teenage stuff.... and the walls were covered with pictures of dirt bikes from all of the magazines. And black light posters :)
      No camping at that area, no, but there is a camp in Webster, about 15 minutes down the lake from there. We've stayed there several times when we're here.

    I definitely get what you're saying about the water!!! 💯. Whether it's the Ocean, a Lake, a River, or a Stream, the sound of water is healing. The smell too. Sometimes I treat myself to a med spa day, or a spa day, and they always have a fountain of some sort inside. That is why people flock towards the Ocean for beachfront property. Or they live by a large Beautiful Lake. Or they hike by a stream that's trickling. It heals the heart the soul and the mind most definitely!! 🇺🇲🗽👍
