And speaking of big boy E450's.... Tribe of 5 Ambo goes home tomorrow

Very nice.

I was talking with a friend about conversions like this; his problem is he can't find anything without a huge rear overhang. But that ambo would be great!

Looks nice. What tires are those on the Ambo?

Did you have 5 of the same ambos all at the same time? Looks like they're set up for personal use, not ambulance use (no red lights).

I always liked OzRockRat's ambo.

I'd love to know where they plan to drive such a large RV off road. It would seem the coach would fall apart in fast order if driven beyond a nice smooth sandy beach. Gutsy call for sure.

Is this type of conversion common? I've seen some 4X4 RVs but generally were much smaller.

True, these coaches are not built for any off road use. All of the class c rigs we've done are strictly for beach use.

Oh no, that would be WAY too many! 2 of these big boys back to back is enough, ready to work on a little van again

Correct, all that we have converted here are retired ambos. We do have our kit on one in service up in Canada though.
