That’s pretty personal. Are we going on a date? Excellent questions Good advice. I kinda felt halfway through this thread that the contrarians found me. It was worth the exercise of articulating my reasoning, deciding to start finding local diesel mechanics to talk to, and maybe even leave...

NGL I’m certain my van is stealthier. I wonder how decommissioned ambulances are generally perceived as or if they’re noticed after the decals & lights are removed. Have you seen Dave’s rig from YT Campulance Man? I think that’s pretty low-key. Also, I’d have to stay at the more tolerant parking...

I guess I decided against the renovated TN ambulance mainly on account of the AC hole cut out of the back wall and doors. I do stealth camping and think the AC unit hanging off the rear is going to be too much of a flag. Also, I want to start out with all of the ambulance cabinetry. In the...

The bid exceeded my budget so I did not win that one. Now I’m watching 2 that close on Friday: A Ford with very low miles very far away in WI and a Chevy with very high miles (261k) in TX 😵‍💫 I feel like I’m playing slots 😂

😂 Spot on otherwise!

I’m sorry for all y’all grief & struggle

Nope! Dying in your sleep is for cowards. Imagine saying that to our founders. Dawn Blanchau and Steve Irwin died doing what they loved.

As I say to others in “real life,” Sure they make you feel really good when you go to sell, but see how your money isn’t worth anything!” 🙃

I had a closet hanging shoe rack for a while. Is that what you mean? Pictures are worth 1000 words as the proverb goes. Anyway the shoe rack did alright for a while except for shoes falling out of it. I decided to build a door-mount shoe rack.

Yeah, something is telling me to keep the “commercial vehicle” door shut & locked. It’s really 2 things, though: Besides lack of storage for all my many hobbies, it’s also I need something that’s adequately maintained and to sell my van to someone who has the capital to get her back up to speed...

The gray one in the back always started chattering when we pulled into a park. Once I opened the van-coop door-porch, though, they would stand there a minute to make sure there wasn’t anything that would jump out and eat them.

I learned a lot when I attempted to raise chickens in my van. I couldn’t afford the gas to drive 13 miles one-way to the property while working for poor mountain town wages. I’d go to community parks and let the chickens out to stretch, forage, and bask. Unleashed dog owners would freak out. I...

I did see that in GA code last night. That’s why I plan on calling the state commissioner on Monday. I’m not the first one to buy an ambulance to convert & won’t be the last. Some places in the code noted that it’s unlawful and a misdemeanor to mislead drivers that the agents are responsible...

Maybe it wasn’t clear. My county tag office says ambulances are commercial vehicles. They’re the final authority on it? Then I may be asking for big trouble with the IRS, federal, state, and DOT authorities all looking for income, employees, documents, and CDLs generated by my “commercial”...

BAH! I just called Roamly and they do not insure converted ambulances. They also sounded sketchy & unprofessional 👀

I’ve seen published reports on repair costs per make and 5-year costs of ownership. I think they were for typical passenger cars, though, and probably don’t cover ‘90s models. So I have no idea how to work out a vehicle repair & maintenance budget.

Absolutely. I like that rig but not the aquisition process 😆

It’s raining here all weekend so I’m digging into if ambulances are legitimately required to be registered as “commercial.” It appears to open a big can of worms: IRS income reporting, reporting employees, documentation, CDL license to say the least. I did find the state commissioner referenced...

The Ford is still available. Seems like the seller might be having a rough time selling it, so I’m rolling the dice so to speak to see if I can snag the 2011 Chevy with all the cabinets. The auction closes on Monday.
