Buttons Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hello all, This looks like a nice place to be! I'm Jenny and Ive just brought a RAF Ambulance 2a. If your interested its item number 170149955203 on the good old ebay. I have done up a few landys before.... But nothing this big! We plan to turn it in to a camper. Keeping it original on the outside but making it suitable for camping with children on the inside! I must be mad! Anyhow....

Marmite!! Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hi Jenny, welcome to the forum, you're in good company here as we're all mad :nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Good afternoon Jenny, we really are gentleman here I do assure you. And if you belive that...... welcome to the world. Please keep it original, they don't honestly make that good a camper very cramped. Much easier just to buy a family tent. Check the back end, they have a nasty habit of chewing half shafts. RAF ambulances also should be fitted with two plugs to keep battery charged and engine hot, for crash starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Blimey- youve got your work cut out on that! I just sold my series 3 ambulance, looks like youve got the same Marshall body on the back as mine did. Mostly aluminium though, so rust shouldnt be a problem (up top anyway!). Welcome here, you'll find us all a friendly bunch. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttons Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Apparently its rare cos its split tripple charge can anyone comment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 All ambulances are split charge, the device looks like a large coil. Thats so the extra lights and such like don't flatten the vehicle battery. A triple charge I think not, the clue is RAF, that will be the input for ground power so both batteries are always at full charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEnfield Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hi Jenny; Welcome to the friendly forum,................... :-) Use to own an army version, me self,.............out of all the landies I owned, it had the best heater,....................got way to hot for me, even with vents and windows slid open as far as poss.

Jack Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Welcome Jenny and good to have you here - looks like you are going to be at home here. Don't worry about the cleaning duties as Gus is still on cleaning detail - its those post war vehicle owners, they have no manners don't you know and they are taking up all of the clubhouse carpark with bits of old armour :roll: Usually at this point I send the Dancing Girls along but that isn't going to be much use to you so I am y well have a word with the 'Essex Guys'......it should be interesting! Best wishes. Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny666 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 another landy owner lol.....maybe we should take over us landy owners lol anyway welcome to the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Jenny, Jack may be the boss, but if you check out the fine print, you are still destined for clubhouse cleaning duties. Once the septic tank has taken his turn you will be ready in time for Trafalgar Day. Bring your wellies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Daymond Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hi Jenny, it would be nice to see your site when you have it up and running, I keep forgetting to stop and take pictures, or I'm doing something so oily etc that it would be just my luck to ruin the camera.

abn deuce Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Never would have thought it was in as good a shape as it was simply with a very through steam cleaning and finding those important bits in there as well , Well Done . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
