Seriously, why haven't more people just used an old ambulance for a camper van? It seems to be the perfect fit! Thank you Devin & April for so many amazing ideas!!! You are both a wealth of knowledge!

I love Devon's perspective on the history of the ambulance and any potential resident spirits. I'm sure lots of babies were born in it, too. Happy Day!
Sweet thoughts!
All the years I worked EMS I never thought about any restless spirits staying behind in them. I remember the first baby I delivered in one. The mother named her after me and my partner and I signed the birth certificate as the "attending physician."
Dena Randi MacDaniel. Hope she's doing well and she's happy.
I've delivered 7 in the back of an ambulance and 3 in home as there just wasn't time. When it's time it's time. As for the spirits of the fallen we followed Native American lore and smudged after a passing.
@@chinacreek1 Amazing. Such great experiences.
Seriously tho!!!!!!❤😊 he's like what about all the great heroes of our time, the first responders who have saved loves in here..... Seriously beautiful build and beautiful people!
Well, as a former EMT for 7.5 years I can tell you that we keep the units very clean. Constantly. If there is biowaste it is disposed off at the hospital. Decontaminated.
I've been thinking of getting an ambulance as my Nomad home for awhile now. I've been in many different ones over the years and I'm really comfortable in them. I love what this couple has done with this one and great choice in the engine and diesel.
I've seen a few ambulance campers and the best thing about then it's they're stacked and packed with storage inside and out and they're made to last. No cheap workmanship. Great choice.
Clever construction on the cabinets (rustic cottage) your rig dosen't look like an ambulance VERY NICE SETUP 🤓✌
I ran ambulance 9 yrs. No worries...the cleaning process is phenomenal after each run and a full disinfecting and restocking...there rules and state law's...I was captain and had to answere for everything...enjoy and be happy..😁🤩
I can't wait to make our dreams of the nomadic life come true.
Me as well
Same here 😁
The other benefit of being a liveaboard in an ambulance is that ambulances are specifically designed to exceed rollover accident survivability standards (You Tube has videos of ambulances being put through these rollover tests).
Having such a strong frame supporting one's home would be quite reassuring.
Ambulances tend to be well insulated too, and it goes without saying that they are meticulously built to very high standards!
That white tile effect wall covering really created the home kitchem ambience and transformed the vehicle into a home.
Likewise the cabinet doors, lovely, homely and warm.
Sensibly, they did not attempt to fit a dedicated toilet and shower room into such a small space in which they had to live.
Their solution meets their needs and that's all that counts.
It was nice to hear how completely at home they felt, and having both worked on the interior it would add to that feeling of having personally built their home.
No two people fit out their vehicles alike and I find it fascinating to see how different people approach the challenge, and starting off with an ambulance gives one a head start due to the abundance of high quality storage cabinets and lockers already in place.
There is a growing community of ambulance liveaboards and a wealth of possibilities for layout and fit out.
This lovely couple have created their cosy, comfortable Travel Cabin and its a real gem!
An excellent example of recycling an ambulance to nomad needs!!
They have enhanced their skills and made wonderful improvements.
They have a can do attitude.
Love this couple, and van.
She is so in love with her man ❤
They compliment each other fairly well. such a sweet, good spirited couple.
What a sweet couple, happy for them.
OMG! I loved her nonverbals and facial expressions as he was addressing living in a small space and quickly resolving squabbles! Too funny!!
She's not the only one traveling
with a cello, I've been doing that
for 30+ years now... YEEHAW!!!
This is one of the best Rv home on wheels make- over that I’ve seen as of now. Great job done👏 Devon and April thanks for sharing your ideas and tips. Bob so glad that you were able to interview this sweet couple. Take care Y’all and stay safe.
We are a Texan couple using a RV Casita for camping & Kayak fishing 😎
nanakarrots I was thinking the same (one of the best)...for me, it was the genuine vibe and good nature of Devin & April, plus the synergy with Bob.
This is a wonderful ambulance conversion. Gorgeous couple too.
I love how April looks at Devon. Lovely!
Love it! ❤️ April and Devon are good friends of ours, and their home is awesome!
Bob, I feel like we have too many mutual friends not to know each other!
Love hut what happened to them? I’m subscribed to their channel and back in June their trans went out. They just stopped posting. I love their vids. Any update on how they are doing?
Bill Public they are doing well.. not sure why they haven’t been uploading though🤷🏼♀️
@LoveHut4Life You’re lucky to know such a nice couple. 😀 Their design is brilliant, makes their rig very cozy.
@@jcubed821 they are in fact wonderful people:)
Concerned about them. Last I heard, they were having transmission problems, I believe, and were working at WalMart to pay for repairs. Have you heard anything from them? Thank you.
Repurposing wood and iron is so rewarding .
What a lovely young couple. I love an ambulance build. They have it set. They said they wer'nt an electricians 17:35 . Looks great. Safe travels and God bless. 😊
This is an incredible rig. I'm impressed with the amount of storage - and they didn't have to start from scratch! Just modify what is already there. Good job.
I was taken to the hospital in a rig like that last year and I just kept thinking what a cool camper it would make. So great to see one of them converted into a home on wheels. Thanks, Bob.
That's a very cosy looking ambulance. And if ambulances didn't save more people than they lost there would be no point in having them.
Couldn't agree more!
CZcams is a wealth of DIY for any skill level.
Great couple! Love that they did the work at the Home Depot. Smart😀
Cozy home. Good job.
Great episode! I expect there will now be a run on ambulances like there is on minivans. I'd be really interested in knowing their budget and their travel paths, and how often April plays her cello. Lots of interesting comments such as how two people harmoniously live together in a small space.
Got to know this great couple in AZ last winter. Super nice folks!
You 2 have really made a beautiful home, so much storage space!!! And it appears you both did a lot of studying and research to find the perfect equipment etc. for your home. Thinking to 2 years later when I'm viewing this you must be in Alaska, enjoy all the new and exciting adventures that lay before you. Great Job!
April and Devin that's one of the best ambulance RVs I've seen! Welcome to the good life!
I’m so jealous of the lifestyle, thank you for sharing. I will continue living vicariously through all of the RV nomads.
Good story and great couple showing how to live the life.
I live in one too. Well it feels like it as I work NON stop in it.
Are you an EMT?
@@AmboLife Bingo 😎
I really like the idea of an ambulance love the storage that’s already built in
You two are adorable! It’s such an awesome looking vehicle. Refreshing to see ones putting their artistic qualities into their home, good on you.
I bought an ambulance two years ago. So far O have only used it as a covered truck! Anxious to use it! Very inspiring!
Love this couple's attitude and ingenuity!
I love these two people, both individually and together. Thank you for sharing.
Lovely Couple and great rig, glad that they have been able to fulfill their dream!
I got your bumper sticker, Ambo Life, April & Devon, it's awesome!!! So happy to see you guys are okay, haven't seen you in awhile!!!
Another great interview! I have been looking at ambulances and the three main things that draws me to them is strong engines that have GREAT towing capability, cabinets with electrical installed, and lots of storage. I plan on using the ambulance as a mobile office, and pull a travel trailer for my living space. That way I have the space to work with A/C, power, and plenty of storage, but have a home with all the necessities like a kitchen, bed, and bathroom built for me that and made to travel. So I guess I'm kind of a nomad and a full time RVer hybrid. Thank you putting out such valuable and entertaining content.
What a great home! You both look so happy there! Best wishes from Seabrook N H .
This is the 2nd ambulance I see. They are truly practical. They make a good home and offer a lot of storage. 👍🏼
What a very beautiful couple you have found, Bob. They have done a wonderful job at putting their home together; very inspirational. Blessings to you two. Jove
This is my favorite video so far. I just bought my ambulance 1month ago, and kind of didn't know where to go with it. I just knew I wanted a bed, a kitchen, a full shower. Must haves. I just really didn't know where to put everything! I knew I did some kind of way, keep the original cabinets as well. I'm a solo female on my on, it's literally just myself and God. You all have given me so many great ideas! You all literally have me super excited, I can't wait to get started!!! A million thank yous. I'm planning an Alaskan and Canada trip, I hope I meet you one day. You guys are super chill, and super awesome. May God bless yall forever.
Nice couple ,great interview ....like that rig 👍👍👍
Good to see a Massachusetts couple. They did a great job on the ambulance. Enjoyed the tour. Marilyn from Massachusetts.👍🏻
Thanks, Bob, for letting us meeting April and Devon. Inspiring and informational couple, wonderful look at what an Ambulance can be.
Great build and super nice couple .
I loved this rig and the couple are amazing. Positive vibes always overpower negative vibes and I really enjoyed their positive vibes. Thanks again for another great video! Please keep doing the vehicle tours! My husband and I get so much inspiration from them.
So enjoyed Devon and April. Their home is so fun and cozy.
I was impressed at their ingenuity, knowledge and willingness to share it with Bob and his viewers like me!
May this couple experience Gods best is their Nomad life.
I'm 6'2" and work on my county's ambulances. They would work well for people that are 5'10 but not me. Now I'm speaking of a type III AEV. A type III is a cab and chassis with the box added on. AEV is the manufacturer. They have a incredible amount of storage.
That’s a nice van
I love this couple (especially how she looks at her husband when he's talking). They're gorgeous, as is their van :)
Such a wonderful couple. Thanks so much Devon and April for sharing with all of us and giving us great ideas and courage to do what you are doing. Thanks Bob for your caring. Blessings, Teri
One of the best builds or no builds I've ever seen. Great layout of stuff.
I was wondering about the energies in the ambulance. Lots of compassion lingering there!
Great couple and van set up! Who knew ambulances are good for van life!
Love it, and for some reason I wasn't surprised when she showed her cello. My problem is what guitar to I bring and which ones do I leave at home. Should have stuck with a violin!
Great job, love the color and creativity throughout!
We Love April & Devon!!!! See you guys soon in Minnesota 💚
I love the answer they had at the end about what they feel about the many people who take "rides" in Ambulances... they prefer to respect the very POSITIVE aspects of what it represents: "saving lives" What a lovely couple and amazing thoughts on their new home.
What a wonderful couple.
They are a delightful couple with a smart home on wheels
Hi April and Devon Good to see you are doing well and are back on the road. Missed following your travels. Stay safe and enjoy the adventure.
Good Morning, Brother Bob and All!
Holy cross-over episode batman!!!!!!!!!!!!! love you folks
They are awesome! I appreciate their honesty about their fears and philosophy of life.
glad to see Devon and April. I've been following them for awhile and appreciate all their video lessons, and April's cello playing!
This is one of the best road homes I've seen. Good idea to invest in a great engine, and I've heard that ambulances are much more sturdily constructed than RVs. Wish they would have given some attention to those cool round spice jars in the kitchen.
Loved the part at the end about the spiritual aspect of an ambulance. Thank you so much for sharing.
If I didn’t know they were a couple I would have thought they were siblings, meshed together well. Nice rig. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Bob for this great interview with a delightful couple. After much vaccilating over what vehicle to invest in, I feel convinced that this is the nomad vehicle for me. Perfect size and shape and I share their belief about all the positive energy that saved lives in this space. Wonderful video!
Me and my wife and son are preparing for the van life well class c but still we’ve decided that he would benefit from the healing that nature can provide and he loves outside I hope to meet a great group of freinds along the way cheers
What a lovely couple and a great build!🚑
