Ambulance As-Is: Our 2005 Chevy Kodiak C4500, The Way it Was When We Got It

Well, we did it! We had been looking for a bigger vehicle for our family camping trips; our minivan was just too cramped for our family of five and all of our gear. After weeks of looking at full sized passenger vans and motorhomes (that may not be reliable, or were out of our price range,) we found a 2005 Chevrolet Kodiak C4500 ambulance for sale right up the street from our house that seemed too good to pass up.
I figured that before we move in and fill it full of our junk that I should document the way it looked when we bought it.
I am sure that the "Fambulance" will evolve as we travel and identify what we'd like to change, and it will be neat to look back and see where we started. Join us as we dive in to "van life" as we convert our ambulance into a mobile camping wagon.

That looks clean and ready for camping already

You got an excellent lay out in this ambulance👍😀. Get you a jack knife sofa or a north/south murphy bed placed where the squad bench is, on the driver's side a micro wave/ convection oven, a dominic refrigerator, get you a portable induction eye for cooking, and you are all set😃. You got space in the driver's side rear next to the back doors for a 24x30 wet bath and all that is just to get started but hey! It's enough to go RVing🚙. Happy camping. You got lots of water tank spaces for your white/potable water, grey water and black water collection tanks. I work in these things for 35 years so I'm not just blowing smoke. You got a great potential R.V.

Good deal for a medium duty for sure. I just picked up a 2002 International with almost the same box. Cool rigs!

Looking to do an ambulance conversion, they seem readymade for campers.

So awesome. I found your video because I’m considering a similar rig for our retirement adventure. Isn’t it time for an update video??? 😉

About your side ''scene lights'' activating when you open the ''main entry door'', look at the left side of the doorway at that switch sticking out to turn on the lights. Remove the switch to stop the lights coming on, or replace the lights with LED's that don't draw so much or provide so much light, OR, change the light that activates from that switch to an INTERIOR light only.
