    I'm feeling like buying a decommissioned ambulance would be about the same as getting a used transit, with all the electrics installed already, including batteries, and only need to do the inverter and panels. Almost no faffing about with installing storage, maybe just a flam vault and a lockbox for the really expensive stuff. Almost all of them have 1-3 seats already in the back, so seating for the crew is sorted. Most good condition ones I've seen are £5k at 110k-170k miles.

    Yeah, good call. It'll probably also have some basic insulation behind the walls too. Ex ambulances have often been ragged hard - but they've also been regularly serviced and looked after.

      That was my reasoning too. Likely a used transit with the same mileage, not a fleet vehicle. Ambulance services run their vehicles hard, but they're very well maintained. There's a service standard that most fleets just don't need to hit.
