Who We Are
We buy and convert decommissioned ambulances into custom, functional, and unique camper homes for the everyday, the every week, or the every year. Our ambulances are all designed to provide all of the comforts of home from hot water showers to farmhouse sinks and butcher block countertops. Each ambulance conversion is given an animal spirit to guide its new owners. Let us introduce - “The Gecko”
“The Gecko” is designed for anyone looking to make some changes to their “colors”. “The Gecko” is decked out with plenty of power and water options to make it perfect for individuals, couples and even families with its sitting for 4! We believe that camper conversions should not be a hassle for new owners, so we make sure our conversions come with the latest in portable solutions for all your power and water needs.
We also love to deliver our ambulances direct to customers anywhere in the United States. Just ask!
The Gecko
“THE GECKO” IS BOTH A CLASSIC BUILD AND A COMPLETELY NEW TAKE ON THE AMBULANCE LAYOUT. THE GECKO CAN HOLD 4 PASSENGERS, SLEEPS 2 ON THE FULL SIZE MATTRESS (54X74”), FEATURES A FARMHOUSE SINK, BUTCHER BLOCK COUNTERTOPS, A FLIP-UP DESK, A 57L REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER, MICROWAVE, AND ENOUGH STORAGE AND CABINETS TO HOLD YOUR BIKES AND ALL YOUR GEAR, THERE IS EVEN ENOUGH FLOOR SPACE FOR AN ADDITIONAL TWIN MATTRESS!
“THE GECKO”, TRUE TO ITS NAME, CHANGES INTO THE ULTIMATE LOUNGING HOUSE ON WHEELS WITH THE SWINGING DOOR CHAMMOCK, THE 42 INCH COUCH FOR 2, FLAT SCREEN TV, AND FOLDOUT AWNING! BUT “THE GECKO” DOESN’T JUST LET YOU RELAX, IT LETS YOU COOK ON THE BUTANE PORTABLE STOVE TOP, THE BRAND NEW MICROWAVE, AND HYDRATE WITH A BRAND NEW TOP OF THE LINE BERKEY WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM.
AFTER A LONG DAY IN WILDERNESS, YOU CAN COME HOME TO A HOT OUTDOOR (BUT PRIVATE) SHOWER. “THE GECKO "" EVEN MAKES SURE YOUR WASTE IS PROPERLY HANDLED BY THE BRAND NEW THETFORD 92306 PORTA-POTTY FLUSHING TOILET IN THE SEPARATE TOILET ROOM. ONCE YOU ARE SETTLED CLIMB INTO THE BRAND NEW FULL-SIZE BED AND TURN ON YOUR 22” FLAT SCREEN TV FOR SOME NETFLIX AND SLEEP :)
“THE GECKO” IS TRULY UNIQUE. IT HAS CHARACTER AND CHARM, BUT IS ALSO ROUGH AND READY FOR A FAMILY AND A GOOD TIME. IT IS BUILT TO GROW WITH THE OWNER, WITH ALL COMPONENTS EASILY SWAPPABLE AND UPGRADABLE. “THE GECKO” ALSO SWITCHES QUICKLY BETWEEN MULTIPLE WAYS OF POWERING YOUR LIFE, ENSURING YOU ARE NEVER LEFT IN A BIND.
DRIVING “THE GECKO” IS AN ACTUAL PLEASURE! SHE IS SLOW, BUT SHE HANDLES VERY SMOOTHLY AND THE HIGH QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL BUILD SHOWS. IF YOU CAN DRIVE A VAN YOU CAN DRIVE AN AMBULANCE! I USUALLY SET THE CRUISE CONTROL AT 63 AND JUST RELAX. I AIM FOR 14 MILES PER GALLON! “THE GECKO” COMES EQUIPPED WITH A BRAND NEW FRONT AND REAR FACING CAMERA WITH RECORDING AND BACK UP ASSISTING CAPABILITIES. THE DUAL REAR WHEELS AND THE UNIBODY CONSTRUCTION KEEP YOU IN CONTROL. “THE GECKO” CAN EASILY BE UPGRADED TO INCLUDE A TOW PACKAGE.

Things I DON’T Like
I WOULD ADD ANOTHER 200 WATT SOLAR PANEL FROM BLUETTI TO MAKE 600 WATTS OF SOLAR
DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT DOESN’T RETRACT WITHOUT HELP
AC WATER PUMPS REQUIRE USER TO TURN SWITCH ON AND OFF. NOT BAD FOR SINK BUT CAN BE ANNOYING FOR SHOWER
BARN DOOR COULD BE SWAPPED FOR SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES LESS INTERVENTION TO GET TO REFRIGERATOR, LIKE A CURTAIN. BUT I DO LIKE THE LOOK OF THE BARN DOOR
ROOM TO MAKE PARTY DECK ON ROOFTOP
ADD PERMANENT LADDER
EXTREMELY MINOR OIL LEAK FROM FRONT SEAL. COMMON PROBLEM. NO NEED TO CHECK BETWEEN OIL CHANGES
