Cool video of a 4x4 ambulance conversion!

Hi everyone.

It's been way too long since I visited but if anyone is curious to see how my Hambo turned out (Ambuland Version 2.0) have a look at this video from a friend of mine. Don't mind the poor sound quality for the 1st minute or so, it gets better once we move inside. And for those who've followed my builds for all these years you'll be able to put a face to the name

And little secret here, it may go for sale soon...

Cheers
David

I'm impressed with your approach to "double duty" >> Shower, Sink table, Seat elevators, etc.
WhitH expressed it perfectly with "Thoughtful and well executed"

Very cool build David. I've always been curious of more specifics on your rig.

Very cool rig, and great workmanship. The stove is a unique touch.

I did get a laugh at the captions on the screen when you were talking about the front bumper "...Canadian made it still and frigid lights..."

Glad you guys enjoyed it. My buddy insisted to make this video, I guess he's trying to become a youtuber! But he did a bunch of the mechanical mods on it so I couldn't say no

I'm thinking to put it up for sale so it might not be a bad idea to have a video showcasing it. I haven't mentioned it before but I'm kind of going on the dark side! This is the new project that I've started a few months ago. Started off as a Fire Truck that I brought in from Japan and will be turning it into a camper with a similar box as this ambo, just a tad larger.

Cheers!
David
