'95 e350 Campulance

Picked up this 1995 E350 Ambulance last October and have been slowly chipping away at building it into a camper.


This is after picking it up from the fire department in Ohio. Drove straight through back to Florida.


After gutting the "ambulance" interior.


Adding a new window..


Added a roof rack and vent fan.


Insulated, ceiling lights installed and most of ceiling is up.

Still very much left to do. Currently building out the platform for the bed and thebrest of the interior.

 

Love it!

 

Interesting build. Like the wood ceiling, but the sooner you ditch the ambulance look on the outside the better. Also, make sure you disinfect that thing thoroughly.

 

Fun fact, I work for the company that makes the parts you used for the roof rack. At least I think you used SteelTek.

 

Yes it is steeltek. Great product. Had to switch the set screws that came with the black fittings over to stainless due to rusting but steeltek took care of it!

 

Haha small world!

Yes! Campbulance gang! I’m doing something similar with a 93 e350. Looking forward to more pics

 

Keep posting the progress. Looks like a fun project.

 

Horton bodies are supposed to be pretty solid. I wouldn't know I have never owned an ambulance.

Awesome project OP Cant wait to see more!

 

Buddy of mine started building one of these a couple years back. I was blown away when he fessed up to how much of the interior build out was original to the ambulance when I'd assumed it was all custom. These seem to be the easiest conversions compared to just a "body in white" van like you often see.

Looks like a fun project!

 

You should see if you can get orange/amber covers for the red lights. Then you could legally use them as hazards.

 

I’ll do you one better, get clear lenses and set them up to illuminate the whole camp site. Fronts work the same way, just weren’t hooked up by then. But it looks like OP already did so in the later pics

 

I was more leaning towards the lightbar on the front panel above the cab.

 

6/7 update...

Finished the ceiling on Saturday and put a coat of sealant on it.


Have most of the interior walls mocked up in place just waiting on a few more things to come in.
Iceco fridge and slider came in today to so I got that setup.

 

Does the fridge slider go both ways? that'd be cool.

 

@Abeyancer

You need to see this.

 

Well hot damn, that's awesome!!!!

Did you just use clear urethane as the ceiling sealant?

 

No only one way. But for my needs it is fine.
