  • AMAZING, IMHO, this is the best ambulance/van conversion I have seen. I even like the interior and exterior colors. For my old body, I would have a small ladder to get up into the bed. The only change I would make is to the curtain in front. I like to have a cockpit curtain that you can pull around by the windshield for privacy. That way, you can use the front seats for storing your clothes when you go to bed. It also creates a larger visual interior. The hot tub? Well, that was pure genius!

I love the permanent bed, I love having a bathroom, the kitchen space looks sufficient, and I really want a dining area like that. But I also want something that will have an open floor space for active and playful cats! Vans are awesome, but something like a bus, box truck, or ambulance just seems to give a bit more width and floor space. I might end up copying this layout one day!! 😆 🥰

    • Yeah not in the video, but it seems like its under the sink based on where everything else was said to be located (There's no drawer pull for under the sink but the cabinet space ends on the sides -- so the grey water's likely accessed from the outside rather than inside). Seeing as he also mentioned automation for all the locks and the water heating, I'm thinking they may have somehow automated their grey water dumping too? Likely they can plug a hose in somewhere on the outside and pump it out.
