That “bathroom” design is really cool, I’ve never seen a setup like that, most people have their toilet in their kitchen or under a couch..
-
No nonsense honest guy living a great life! That’s happiness.
-
$120K for this rig is money well spent imo, I would do it in a heartbeat. Hmmmm I need the ambu first so I am going to start looking, today.
-
That "drying drawer" idea is great.
-
Now 🤔 that's what I'm talking about a ride

Very nice. That ambulance was quite a find. It's responsibly well thought out, with conveniences and practical applications. It does place the focus on living. Thanks for the tour!

I saw this build over a year ago. This didn't show the TV or sound system. What an awesome build!
-
Your "monster" is awesome! I'm still in my beautiful e150 triton. No build. I have a bed, dressers, etc love nomadic life style, such freedom! Saving a lot of money, no bills. I have 1200 solar in several panels flex, 2000 inverter, and 1750 watts in 4 generators and smaller cells to charge snake things. I love it! Peace, joy, love, and safety on your life journey!
-
The the bathroom is pretty smart!!! And why did the park buy this vehicle and only use it for 14,000 miles? I have so many questions lol.
-
Great rig, great guy, he is really responsive to comments on his channel..

Perfect rig!

I wouldn’t consider that a tall fridge as much as a fridge you put up at eye level, lol. Either way- much better to do it the way you did it anyway! I don’t know how people bend to find their stuff everytime in those tiny fridges. Would drive me bananas!
