- After 8 weeks in NY it was time for us to head back out on the road and see what kind of beauty and adventure we can find. Of course it was near 90 degrees across the route we planned to take so the new A/C was a life saver!!
My name is David and with my dog Lefty we live full time in our converted ambulance RV. I made this change to my 'standard' life and you can too! 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 diesel engine and a 4 speed + overdrive transmission. Lefty is a 65lb Staffordshire Terrier (best I can tell) that came from the Verona Street Animal Shelter in March 2014 at the age of 9 months. We have been living full time in the campulance since July 2019.
good quality video
Thanks Chuck
Me and you and a dog named boo, travelin' and livin' off the land
I'm glad y'all stayed cool in that parking lot and got a pretty good night sleep
Staying tuned for your journey y'all take care and be safe and we'll see you soon
Thanks Darryl - the AC was a game changer!
Yay for coolness and Lefty looks so comfy! Drive safe and Colorado or bust!
Safe travels David. Cheers!
Thank you Richard :)
Driving over 1000 miles away from home, in a huge vehicle your not used to. Yup scary and exciting 😎
Are you able to open that cabinet when it's raining and hot? Lucky looks very comfortable, that's for sure.
👍👍👍
Start trying back roads, may take you longer, but you may see some AWESOME sights. This is AWESOME !! Yall staying cool !!! A Katrina tip get solar lights, cheap ones for side walk lights in day take them out, bring them in at night save your solar for your essentials
Thats a great idea. My interior led lights use a very low amount of power so I'm ok with using them a few hours a day :)
Ventline V2111-11 Exterior Wall Vent for RV Range Hood
Ventline Louvered Exterior Sidewall Range Hood Vent
You could get this^(google ) and install on that exterior door so you dont have to open it up to use the a/c
Plus with this vent, no rain inside area and no one will hit that door
Good idea scout! Thank you!!
Not sure where you're at now but the best plan would be to get off the toll road at I-75 or I-69 and head down to Indianapolis and take I-70 across Indiana and Illinois.to avoid Chicago like the plague. I lived in Indy for 40 years until 2013.
BTW... We stole your idea to put an A/C in that driver side rear cabinet. Our cabinet is taller than yours and we had doors to the inside. We used one of our shelves to set the unit on and closed in around it with some 3/4" plywood pieces. Eventually we will cover the inside with the luan we have been using in other areas.
Well, I stole the idea from Bob. He had a cabinet with inside access like yours. He ended up putting in his back window because his door blew shut and choked the AC so be sure you've got a good door system. So far its working great for us!
Good info - that's all behind us now and we didn't get near Chicago. The trip was good up until Colorado and climbing the mountains!
@@TheCampulanceMan What is Bob's channel?
Bob is one of my viewers that came to visit me when we were in NY. His youtube channel is soloadventures and he's a super nice guy!!
Way was your battary consumption at 10:30 pm when you shut off the AC?
I'm sorry David I can't recall the specifics from that trip. Generally, the A/C uses 440w when the compressor is running.
