Lori or anyone,

What is the difference in price?  Do you always buying new vans?

Thing is ... the pros & cons DO make it difficult to decide.   Common sense here but I've had 3 full-sized vans with 3 different lifts.  With the full I liked the indoor maneuvering space and easier to travel with that space.  I DON'T miss the bulk of it, the gas hogs they are or the longer wait on the lift unfolding, loading, refolding ESPECIALLY in freezing weather.   I now have a Braun Entervan (minivan) and love to just zoom up the ramp ... little wait.  Better gas mileage.  And not so bulky to drive around in.  The lowered floors make a bumpier ride (bothers my back) but if it's not lowered I can't see out.   So I have no idea which choice to make next.  I WANT to put a ball on the back to pull a small U-haul and I'd like the bigger indoor space but, then again I love the mini-van ramps.  *sigh*  Choices, decisions, ugh!   Lori Michaelson C4/5 complete quad, 25 years post Tucson, AZ   -------Original Message-------   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 08/10/05 13:37:12 To: quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: [QUAD-L] Mini ramp van   Minis are nice, but only if they are right for you.  If you are living in a big city with limited parking, the minis are nice.  If you are employed or upwardly mobile, the minis are very nice.
