I know this is weird, but I have a Crestline as a company vehicle lol, but it is retired as an ambulance, I use it as a service vehicle on an air force base, I was given the opportunity to choose a vehicle for myself, and I went with one of these, it works perfectly, it's so easy to keep clean, organized and I just love it.
I worked as an EMT in the late 90's till the early 2000's and this was cool to look at.It is nice to see the changes to the bus design. Somethings I laughed at like the harnesses because where I worked those things would never be used.
Chris Ryan Haha same here, the time to put them on, take them off would not be worth it! Maybe if a relative is tagging along but I would never imagine myself hooking in 4 different points!
*SOME PPL MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND, SO LET ME HELP OUT OUR AWESOME HOST....PREPMEDIC* He mentions wind noise a good number of times, yes wind noise is just annoying, but add in that you must ride in that apparatus for 8-12 hrs(maybe up to 48hr straight) shift, you have a killer migraine & your boy/girl friend just dumped you thru a text mess.....SHIT!!!! now that wind noise is like sitting outside during a tornado w/150mph winds!!! OK, that be a bit much, but its true to the point that wind noise can be frustrating especially on bad days when your trying to help or save a persons life.....AWESOME VID PREPMEDIC!!! STAY SAFE BRO.
I really wish they would have room up front for backpacks or bags and whatnot. I work for a city service that is system status so it's not like we have a base to keep our stuff at and I definitely don't want my lunchbox or bag back with the patients
I'm in love. Crestline and their parent company Demers are really the only two options here in central/western Canada. I've worked on both and they both have features I really like, but this seems to have sort of combined what I like from both brands. Can't wait until I start seeing them around here!
I just wanted to say thank you for your vids. They were a contributing factor in my decision to go get my EMT-B. I just finished my class and I'm doing my first ride along Saturday. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Looks a lot like the rigs we have coming into my division. Only thing it doesn’t specifically have is a camera in the pt compartment, I find those useful to keep an eye on how my partner and pt are doing on the long distance psych transfers that we so often get.
This was a great tour! You showed us the whole layout of the Ambo, switches, cabinets, and more. Very much appreciated! Please do this for all rigs. Subscribed.
Crestline is thinking ahead on a lot of areas in the emergency vehicles. Seems very heavy duty, and well thought out. I can only imagine the improvement they have made since you did this review. Great video.
Some of our ambulances where I work have the same wheel base as our fire engines. The long ambulances are nice for space but not as fun to drive. We also have SCBA on our ambulances because personnel from the first due ambulance (often three firefighter/ EMS providers) will augment the crew of the first due engine on fire calls because we often only have 8 units staffed. Furthermore we have a compartment for water rescue equipment due to our location.
We just got some very similar to this one and let me tell you the cot in the middle is life changing! It’s so easy to get to any part of the patient and there is so much more space!
Hey man, we've all been there, it's late at night, you're still stressed about that one embarrassing moment from twelve years ago and you watch ambulance infomercials to take the pain away.
The ccl150 as bin done in conjonction with Demers Ambulances. You guys should ask Demers for a visit of there factory and a showcase of there ambulances.
I wish they would make the driver seat more comfortable by adding air to it and maybe add a little refrigerator and hot plate. These little things would make the corner posted rigs so much better.
Necromante Errante My coolest was a ride along. My crew had just dropped off a patient involved in a dirt bike crash. On our way back I heard something about a decapitation of a limb. I was intrigued and they told me it would be gruesome. I said let's go, we got there and the arm was only hanging on by veins. We airlifted him out of there and I got a ride back to the station. Finally got home at around midnight but was supposed to be home by 8pm.
I'm no expert on it by any means, but that is one nice ambulance. Plus it's made from E-Series so 👌. On another note, I understand the utility focus, and I've also never driven one, but I think for the long durations of ambulance crew missions, the (Going from my E-Series experience) van should be XLT instead of TT/XL. It would add more comforts for the front crew of the vehicle. Regardless, I've always loved ambulances and that certain feeling of life and hope they radiate as they speed down roads blaring their sirens.
The first box unit I ever saw had no cover over the rear tire under the bench. You lift the bench and you could see the tires under it. Things sure have changed a lot in the last 40 some odd years.👆
That’s a great review! Good job 👏... looks like a great bus! Love how u can adjust the temp of the box from the front!! One thing that I don’t like about it is the angle that the siren control is mounted... looks like it would be uncomfortable wether u r driving or not...
I always wonder why Medix and Leader ambulances never have enough cup holders and somewhere to put our personal items. Like you guys do know we do average of 12-24 hour shift right?
Where's the provisions for the two way radio ? When I did radio installs, shiny brand new ambulances always lacked a way to put the radio in, running the rear control head cable then dealing with the NMO mounts in the roof. Hopefully you guys have provisions for these things.

Shame we can never get anything like this in the UK, all ours are pretty much standard and at times not fit for purpose, as we are going away from box vehicles and going to van conversions. The simplicity that is incorporated into the vehicle is amazing but has, from what I can see, took staff into account and the types of incidents we go to is amazing.
I would like some more information on your electrical system. Currently work for a large EMS system in NC and we are in the process of a complete redesign of ambulances. Anything we can do to cut down time and ease and simplicity of issues is great.
CPR harness? A lot of our units went back to The thumper style units for compression. A lot of wasted space plus shaded GLASS instead of plexiglass. The sprinters are mostly used in this area for basic transport. We also hate the Battenburg stripes, they blend in way too much with the led lights since most local companies and fire service have done away with light bars.

Only one large O2 cylinder? I'm used to have 2 large ones and 1 small as a reserve on ALS units (saw the other ones later in the video now; Strange to have them in the side door) The electrical cabinet seems huge, I mean really huge. Maybe ours seems smaller as a part of it is in the patient compartment and another part is behind the driver and co-driver's seats Like the dual access compartment on the right side; Don't have that at the provider I work for right now, but the one where I was trained, they had a dual access compartment there as well. CPR seat? Do they do manual CPR during the ride and don't use e.g. a Lucas? We have the IV hooks under a cover in the center roof console, with straps holding them in place; They shakre around during the ride but they are secured. One thing I really don't like which seems to be common on American ambulances: the stretcher located directly on the bottom. Imagine an uneven road and a patient with spine injuries ...
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos same here, that side compartment looked big enough for two and maybe even a couple smaller ones as back up for field/long distance carry.
Options are available for two O2 cylinders or 1 O2 and 1 medical air. Reserve O 2 can be mounted on the door or just in front of the attendant seat on the street side ALS cabinet. More info on the website ccl150.com/
29yrs as a medic & 4yrs as an EMT before that & I didn’t see anything that was earth shacking. Actually the last earth shacking thing I saw was when we went to strobe lights around 1988.
Those things are horrible lol, type 2 ambulances are a joke, the ford transit seems to do ok but I still wouldn't want one of those Van's to show up at my house in an emergency lol
People who deride trauma twinkies (type 2's) have never used one in a busy city or had to go seriously off-road on jeep trails. I've put my RWD ford E350 twinkie in places in the mountains that the type 1 4x4's the FD uses couldn't get. And threading them through traffic is amazing. I love my type 1's and 3's (medium duty's are objectively stupid unless your rig also DESPERATELY needs a hydraulic system for rescue gear) but there are certain situations where a twinkie is just untouchable.
I really hate the light layout. It still astounds me that emergency light manufacturers just don't understand the idea that rhythmic lights are hypnotizing at lights and cause tired or intoxicated drivers to meander towards them. Lights need to follow randomized, non repeating patterns. All ambulances should have rumblers, too. Rumblers are so effing incredible for short distances and clearing intersections that I don't understand why they aren't on EVERY emergency vehicle. People get the HELL out of the way when you turn on a rumbler. Those light and siren controls do not fall easily to hand. That looks like a nightmare for people who don't like to use the hands-free siren setting. I also don't see anywhere NEAR enough lights controls. I want high intensity, low intensity (For night) fogs, directional scenes, a secondary rear-only, and scene emergency (no lightbar and simple all-round blinkers) Whoever thought an interior third brake light was a good idea is a f**king lunatic who has never worked at night. Fifty bucks says that thing is gonna have a strip of medical tape over it within a week of service. And whomever laid that cab out and thought "yeah there will never be a time where the medic needs to recline in his seat, he can totally sit bolt upright" is a moron. I don't like a sliding door over a sharps container. When I have a sharp, I don't want to be doing ANYTHING except moving my hand to the sharps bin and placing it inside. Any extra steps is just added danger. The one thing I have only ever had in one ambulance that I wish all of them had was a proper thermostat in the rear compartment. Most of the rigs I've ever had have only had air conditioners with "off" and "frozen hellscape" and heaters with "sauna" and "turkish prison" The oxygen bottle system is nice. Other than that, it's kind of a crap looking barebones private EMS setup
@@YawinsomeYawinsome yeah, but here in spain, they would be useless, because we have 3 people in the ambulance, and it wouldn't be comfortable for them
is a Great Size after Read the Comments. I personal think an extra Height and Width Box Height Add 5 Inch and Width Add 6 to 9 Inch Or Less Outter Storage space (- 3 Inch) each size Left and Right Side create more inside Room in the Box for ambulance Worker.
IT's always very interessing to see ambulances from other parts of the world. In the US the ambulances are normally bigger than in Europe. In Scandinavia the ambulances are normally very small compared to this one. They've got very lint distances too but small and narrow Streets. What's the weight of this ambulance when it's fully loaded?
@@artur4390 I'm from Germany. Our actual Emergency Care Ambulances are 4900 kg. Ambulances from other Companys are up to 5.8 tons. Our mobile ICU is 10 tons. But that's because we wanted much room inside that was not possible with lighter vehicles

Thank you for your feedback! The weight of your ambulance depends on how its outfitted. Please contact a Dealer in your area for options and pricing. CCL150.com
This set up is what we had 20-30 years ago with out F-250 ambulances. Crestline really needs to look at how we have our Sprinters laid out in Australia. Not wanting to write an "ours are better than yours" sort of comment. Just would like to see our North American cousins work in vehicles designed by EMS staff FOR EMS staff. The ergonomics in this needs huge improvements. Many thanks for the time and effort to make and upload.
@PrepMedic what's revolutionary about this bls transport vehicle that makes it a Prototype I feel like this was a clickbait paid advertisement. You definitely lowered your self in my books and this is my first video with you.
Well 1. It is a prototype..... sorry if you were watching to see a flying bat mobile or something.... items like the remote diagnostic electrical system, powder coating, and noise dampening are all items not found in many rigs on the road. 2. It isn’t a BLS or ALS transport rig. It is an empty shell. 3. Yes, I got paid to make the video which is disclosed fully in the description
Thank you for your question: CCL150 is a model aimed to optimize payload, at an affordable price, while still offering a highly durable product. For more information, please contact a Dealer in your area CCL150.com.
"Lifetime warranty"? Whose lifetime? Oh, yes, it's the same as every other such promise. When it (whatever part) fails it's passed it's lifetime, says the manufacturer.
The warranty will specify a "lifetime" period. I'd think a vehicle would be 10-15 years. What "Lifetime" means is that the paint doesn't expire before the rest of the rig. For example, 15 year powertrain warranty, but only 5 years on paint. Something like that.
Crestline ambulances has a proprietary powder coat paint called CrestCoat. Because of its proven durability, Crestline stands by its LifeTime Paint Warranty meaning lifetime of the vehicle. For more information contact a Dealer in your area CCL150.com
And those are the quirks and features of 2020 crestline prototype ambulance. Now it's time to get it out on the road and see how it drives.

Maybe ours seems smaller as a part of it is in the patient compartment and another part is behind the driver and co-driver's seats
Like the dual access compartment on the right side; Don't have that at the provider I work for right now, but the one where I was trained, they had a dual access compartment there as well.
CPR seat? Do they do manual CPR during the ride and don't use e.g. a Lucas?
We have the IV hooks under a cover in the center roof console, with straps holding them in place; They shakre around during the ride but they are secured.
One thing I really don't like which seems to be common on American ambulances: the stretcher located directly on the bottom. Imagine an uneven road and a patient with spine injuries ...
Every ambulance I've been on has them on the side like that
@@whiteboysixty5 what do you mean by "them"? O2 cylinders, electronics compartment, ...
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos same here, that side compartment looked big enough for two and maybe even a couple smaller ones as back up for field/long distance carry.
Options are available for two O2 cylinders or 1 O2 and 1 medical air. Reserve O 2 can be mounted on the door or just in front of the attendant seat on the street side ALS cabinet. More info on the website ccl150.com/
Thanks for your feedback! The CCL150 has the option for dual O2 cylinders. Please contact a Dealer in your area for options and pricing CCL150.com.
29yrs as a medic & 4yrs as an EMT before that & I didn’t see anything that was earth shacking. Actually the last earth shacking thing I saw was when we went to strobe lights around 1988.
Very cool
Hi ! Nice review !
nice looking rig. it does look kinda small. is this the only model that you did a tour of or will there be a new video soon of a different rig?
Thank you for your feedback!
LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A PRETTY BOY AMBULANCE WAITIN TO SIT ON A CORNER WAITIN FOR THE REST OF HIS GANG TO SHOW UP
As long as it’s not one of those god awful vanbulances 😂
Those things are horrible lol, type 2 ambulances are a joke, the ford transit seems to do ok but I still wouldn't want one of those Van's to show up at my house in an emergency lol
Leroy Jenkins some are alright, the large Mercedes ones are easily big enough, but I wouldn’t want a small ford as my ambo tho haha.
My fleet is nothing but older and newer ford vanbulances and it’s rough in the older ones being 6’2”
The mercs are awesome
People who deride trauma twinkies (type 2's) have never used one in a busy city or had to go seriously off-road on jeep trails. I've put my RWD ford E350 twinkie in places in the mountains that the type 1 4x4's the FD uses couldn't get. And threading them through traffic is amazing.
I love my type 1's and 3's (medium duty's are objectively stupid unless your rig also DESPERATELY needs a hydraulic system for rescue gear) but there are certain situations where a twinkie is just untouchable.
Super
I like our EMS buddies Frazier ambos, I prefer driving my tower-ladder.
Wow that’s interesting
Is there space in the cab for 2-3 radio holders, and/or department radio units? Such as a speaker mic, and the dispatch radio?
Yes! Several consoles are available.
@@JohnScullin Awesome! I'll inform my department, we are due for a new bus.
Yes. Please contact a Dealer in your area for options and pricing CCL150.com
@@CrestlineCoach Thank you!
I really hate the light layout. It still astounds me that emergency light manufacturers just don't understand the idea that rhythmic lights are hypnotizing at lights and cause tired or intoxicated drivers to meander towards them. Lights need to follow randomized, non repeating patterns.
All ambulances should have rumblers, too. Rumblers are so effing incredible for short distances and clearing intersections that I don't understand why they aren't on EVERY emergency vehicle. People get the HELL out of the way when you turn on a rumbler.
Those light and siren controls do not fall easily to hand. That looks like a nightmare for people who don't like to use the hands-free siren setting. I also don't see anywhere NEAR enough lights controls. I want high intensity, low intensity (For night) fogs, directional scenes, a secondary rear-only, and scene emergency (no lightbar and simple all-round blinkers)
Whoever thought an interior third brake light was a good idea is a f**king lunatic who has never worked at night. Fifty bucks says that thing is gonna have a strip of medical tape over it within a week of service.
And whomever laid that cab out and thought "yeah there will never be a time where the medic needs to recline in his seat, he can totally sit bolt upright" is a moron.
I don't like a sliding door over a sharps container. When I have a sharp, I don't want to be doing ANYTHING except moving my hand to the sharps bin and placing it inside. Any extra steps is just added danger.
The one thing I have only ever had in one ambulance that I wish all of them had was a proper thermostat in the rear compartment. Most of the rigs I've ever had have only had air conditioners with "off" and "frozen hellscape" and heaters with "sauna" and "turkish prison"
The oxygen bottle system is nice. Other than that, it's kind of a crap looking barebones private EMS setup
Any plans for videos at your new job sam? Hope to see your new equipment
In america everything is big, in spain, we have a mercedes sprinter, for all ambulances
Best day ever was switching from a vanbulance service to one with F-450s. So much space for activities!
@@YawinsomeYawinsome yeah, but here in spain, they would be useless, because we have 3 people in the ambulance, and it wouldn't be comfortable for them
@@YawinsomeYawinsome It's not like you cannot mount a box on a Sprinter (as seen on this cahnnel before: ua-cam.com/video/mRjY4oREB-8/v-deo.html)
@@vollelektrolysierer5773 This is one of our two stretcher modular units

Was that up in the headquarters in Saskatoon ?
Yes Terry. All made front raw aluminum, painted, assembled, mounted on the chassis, commissioned and shipped from Saskatoon Saskatchewan Canada
@@gordonmclean1711 Terry? Who the hell is Terry!?
is a Great Size after Read the Comments. I personal think an extra Height and Width Box Height Add 5 Inch and Width Add 6 to 9 Inch Or Less Outter Storage space (- 3 Inch) each size Left and Right Side create more inside Room in the Box for ambulance Worker.
Thank you for your feedback!
How did I get here but since i use to be obsessed with emergency vehicles. in 2006
IT's always very interessing to see ambulances from other parts of the world.
In the US the ambulances are normally bigger than in Europe.
In Scandinavia the ambulances are normally very small compared to this one. They've got very lint distances too but small and narrow Streets.
What's the weight of this ambulance when it's fully loaded?
Im from Luxemburg, our ambulances are similar but still smaller; their weight is 5.3 tons
@@artur4390
I'm from Germany. Our actual Emergency Care Ambulances are 4900 kg. Ambulances from other Companys are up to 5.8 tons.
Our mobile ICU is 10 tons. But that's because we wanted much room inside that was not possible with lighter vehicles
@@manuelschmidt1081 In bavaria they got some that weigh 12 tons der-autotester.de/iveco-eurocargo-als-intensivtransportwagen-itw-des-roten-kreuzes-in-bayern/
welcome in france, we use profiled van, under 3.5 tons
very narrow, very small.
The cube ambulance are for medical unit
Thank you for your feedback! The weight of your ambulance depends on how its outfitted. Please contact a Dealer in your area for options and pricing. CCL150.com
This set up is what we had 20-30 years ago with out F-250 ambulances. Crestline really needs to look at how we have our Sprinters laid out in Australia. Not wanting to write an "ours are better than yours" sort of comment. Just would like to see our North American cousins work in vehicles designed by EMS staff FOR EMS staff. The ergonomics in this needs huge improvements. Many thanks for the time and effort to make and upload.
Ok, I buy one.
Nice!
Thank you for your feedback!
@PrepMedic what's revolutionary about this bls transport vehicle that makes it a Prototype I feel like this was a clickbait paid advertisement. You definitely lowered your self in my books and this is my first video with you.
Well 1. It is a prototype..... sorry if you were watching to see a flying bat mobile or something.... items like the remote diagnostic electrical system, powder coating, and noise dampening are all items not found in many rigs on the road.
2. It isn’t a BLS or ALS transport rig. It is an empty shell.
3. Yes, I got paid to make the video which is disclosed fully in the description

Can you sell this ambulance to Norway??

Where would the stair chair go?
Did you see the part with the cabinet that had a stair chair in it?
Lmao stupidity at its finest
Thank you for your question! The Stair Chair is stored in the C3 compartment. For options and pricing contact a Dealer in your area CCL150.com
Do american ambulances not have an heatet infusion compartment?
I heard ..pretty standard setup quite a bit for a prototype
Pretty much
"Lifetime warranty"? Whose lifetime? Oh, yes, it's the same as every other such promise. When it (whatever part) fails it's passed it's lifetime, says the manufacturer.
The warranty will specify a "lifetime" period. I'd think a vehicle would be 10-15 years. What "Lifetime" means is that the paint doesn't expire before the rest of the rig. For example, 15 year powertrain warranty, but only 5 years on paint. Something like that.
Crestline ambulances has a proprietary powder coat paint called CrestCoat. Because of its proven durability, Crestline stands by its LifeTime Paint Warranty meaning lifetime of the vehicle. For more information contact a Dealer in your area CCL150.com

You should come to Ireland Sam and review wilker their really good leading the way in Ireland and the UK at the moment
Have you seen the new ford transit ambulances? I'd be curious of your opinion on them.
I live in Saskatchewan
How is that my problem?
I'm surprised you didn't show any radio or intercom equipment, as new units have a lot of communications gear.
that would typically be installed by the agency, post production. As every agency can be different in comms needs.
Thank you for your feedback - we will consider showing this in our next video.
