just a thought...let us know what you get, and some pics after it is finished

I just learned about another event guy who did remodel an old ambulance. Its worth looking into. As i understand most have diesel engines, that might be a plus for longivity but a bite in the fuel budget. They gotta be cheaper than the crazy used Sprinter vans I've seen. 2 years old with 15,000 miles and around $30K (almost the price they sold for new). Still hammering at this one.
