Oh I get the idea now....

Can we have a picture with the bumper fitted?

Can you open the rear door with the ball fitted?

The pin to lock the hitch in is as simple as putting your under the bumper to see what your doing but the extra height and and not having all that bulk at the back of my car as defiantly worth kneeling down for. I had an engineer look at it and he didn't want anything to do with it, wollongong needs a new auto engineer. If the unthinkable does happen I guess i'll deal with it if it comes up.

I was going to cut the pipe off but it was still lower than I wanted, and I think what I came up with was alot better plus I got to send it back and put the cash back in my pocket.

I should have kept the templates and pumped a few out. I didnt think it was going to turn out as good as it did.

The rear door clears the ball by 10mm, cannot open it with a trailer on and thats the only down side.

Finished tow hitch from under bumper you can see the hole for the pin lugs on the underside are for chains

Hole in bumper for hitch and lights

Any one who has an old ambo needs to get these


they clean up the ugly edge and add some very handy storage

Added this little lip to stop things falling out up steep hills, works a treat

My water tanks that I made to fit down behind the rear wheel arches in beside my drawers, just under 40 litres each

My BBQ and fridge, light in rear door that I fitted it runs off the aux battery.
Can anyone tell me why the rear door on my transperter is not earthed? Found it a bit odd

Hi Augie, I have also picked up an ex ambulance T5 and I'm starting a bit of work on fit out, I stumbled on this site when I was doing a bit of research into house batteries. My van came with bilstein shocks, springs, a small lift and locking rear diff and seems pretty comfortable in moderately rough stuff. I was wondering if you have patched the holes in the roof that the ambos put in to mount lights etc. Is the roof epoxy based or will plain polyester resin do the trick?
