Video of the Week :: The Perfect Ambulance Camper build

New Jersey Outdoor Adventures recently interviewed Josh Sheldon, an engineer, overlander, and adventurist, who bought a 2005 Chevy C4500 ambulance with a 6.6-liter Duramax diesel engine and built this ambulance camper during the COVID lockdown in a period of six months.

Josh has managed to design and essentially create a compact New York apartment on wheels. We are in love with the fact that he has repurposed Tesla batteries to run his open-sourced home assistant system (which is extensive) that he can access remotely. Wait till you see how he has managed to design a spacious shower that holds a storage drawer, a compostable toilet, and a washer/dryer. I must admit, Josh’s ambulance conversion is one of the best I have ever seen. Now, if only I had the mental capacity to do the same to our Land Rover camper, my life would be complete.

You can get more detailed information about his build on his Instagram account @heyjshel

Luisa Bell has always had a passion for travel, but she never imagined that she would travel the world, with her family, in a self-built Land Rover Defender camper. As the navigator, administrator, and penetrator of bureaucracy, she has led her family to over 65 countries on five continents. Luisa is the wife of Graeme, and their quarter-century together feels like a full century in overlander years. Her two kids and her dog are her pride and joy, and if she could travel with them indefinitely, she would. With a background in immigration law, she has the ability to make the impossible possible and has no plan of settling down or retiring her full-time traveler status.
