converting an Ambulance to a camper

[STED9r]

Looks like a Taylor build, though could be Wheeled.
Taylor, probably the worst mod box put there.

Sounds like you better document everything you do very well, you will likely be getting several help requests if it turns out well.

Talk to Russ Long at Longs custom metal craft in Tacoma 253-471-8554. He can build anything and he has done many semi to 5th wheel hauler builds from the ground up. If you can think it, he can build it.

First you need clean the heck out of every nook and cranny...these things can hold some nasty stuff from all the sick pt's they see.  Trust me on this, there is a ton of documentation supporting this.

Then I would do is get a generator to power the external 30 amp outlet.....this will insure you can use the lights and heater while still keeping your block heater going and battery charging. 

Next....I would buy a used gurney and modify it to be a comfy cot.  This will allow you to take it in and out.  If you have company over you could take it out and giving your company more leg room. 

An awning would be super nice too....maybe one of the back and one off the side. 

OH......Almost forgot, if you have the funds and it has not been done yet.....I would certainly change out all the interior and exterior (scene lights) to LED.  The halogen bulbs can be expensive and don't last long....especially if you are on bumpy roads. 


I will keep thinking as there are endless possibilities.  I work out of these things and have always thought they would make a cool hunting rig.  Looks like you found a really nice one.

Sounds like a re-do of what was in the Corey Ford stories of the "lower 40" hunting and fishing club.

Not a wheeled coach it doesn't have corner extrusions. My guess is a MedTec by looking at the rub rails and interior cabinetry. A MedTec would be decent.

That's awesome, are you going to update the thread through the build?

No exp with med tech. Could also be a Mckoy Miller looking at action panel. Looks like it has an inverter in it so batt charging and ac power there.

So were closing in on a manufacturer somewhere between Elkhart and Goshen Indiana. Hahaha!

Awesome! Love overhaling stuff for hunting. We took the box off a uhaul truck and welded it to a 30 foot expanded metal trailer. All complete with outdoor heated shower, fridge, flat screen and surround sound. two small lazy boy style chairs, bunks, carpet, AC, wood panelling, front porch, and big storage cage in the front. Yeah its a little overt the top, but when you get started on a project like that its hard to stop adding stuff.  Already thinking about taking the box off putting a bigger one on for more space!  Good luck with your project! Keep us updated!

do you have any pics?

[Whitpirate]

Looks like it could be a fun and expensive project!

Its a McCoy Miller Box,  I'll check it out in detail tomorrow, I'm surprised at the response, I will keep pictures of the progress.  Probably headed to Utah or Washington, both have cattle farms and easier to register F350s with modifications.  found a "sunday camper" site that has a cool truck tent topper and a canopy that wraps around.  Gotta collect more cans for this project!!

[MarkyMark]

Many models of the McCoy Miller have a low voltage switching system that controls most of the systems on the box including lights and hvac. Just want to give you a heads up in case you're not familiar. Maybe that stuff won't even matter to you. Sounds like a fun project. Good luck and keep us posted!
