    Help with Ambulance electrical system

    Hi Jess, I ended up getting a Renogy DCC50S dc to dc converter with MPTT charge controller. I put it in place of the solenoid (I only had one). It has an input from the alternator, where I put the wire coming from the cutoff switch which used to go to the solenoid, an output to the loads (the...

    Ambulance Camper/ Expedition Rig Conversion FAQ

    Hello Everyone, I have a 1996 E-450 type III I am converting very slowly. I'd like to install a Maxxair fan in the ceiling for ventilation, but I'm running into a problem. The roof structure, like the rest of the box, is built from 2x2 square aluminum beams on 14" centers. That leaves 12" of...

    Help with Ambulance electrical system

    Thanks for the reply, Bikersmurf. My battery compartment has plenty of room for golf cart batteries. In fact, it looks like if I took out the sliding tray, I could fit 4 batteries in there. I could leave the starting batteries alone and add some for the module. They'd be a little hard to...

    Help with Ambulance electrical system

    Iggi, Thanks for the help! Two batteries for starting and two for the module was what I'd planned on, but there's only one under the hood. I could break up the pair in the module, I suppose, but I thought I read somewhere that breaking them up was a bad idea? I figured it would be easier...

    Ambulance Camper/ Expedition Rig Conversion FAQ

    It seems surprising to me that they ever allowed it in the first place. Another question, there are some 12v powered devices behind the passenger seat. Picture attached. Any idea what these are?

    It's a motorolla. I'm attaching pictures of the handset and another part I found. There's probably more to it as well.

    Ambulance Camper/ Expedition Rig Conversion FAQ

    Thanks to everyone who has replied. I appreciate all the input. I called Wheeled Coach (REV, actually) but didn't get through to a human being yet. Right now I'd kill for a wiring diagram. I appreciate the advice to take things slow. There are so many little jobs to do, it gets...

    Ambulance Camper/ Expedition Rig Conversion FAQ

    Hello. This is my first post on this site. I just bought a 1996 E-450 Wheeled Coach ambulance. I know very little about these things, but I'm looking forward to learning. I plan to go very slowly and to take a lot of pictures while I decide how I'm going to convert it. My first priority is...
