Re: [QUAD-L] i want this van......opinions?
Looks nice. I have a full-size Econoline van, rear suspension is pretty stiff, makes for an uncomfortable ride. I wonder if anybody around 6 feet tall can fit inside a minivan like this?

Ron, it is difficult sometimes to get insurance for modified vans that have been in an accident. Check into that first.

Ron, The door opening in most hcap vans is 53 tall. As stated by others spend some money for an unbiased checkout of what the damage entailed. If it's damage to the frame, run away.

If the vehicle was selling for $19,500 I would jump on it.But not at the price being speculated on EBay. Best Wishes In a message dated 6/16/2014 11:18:44 A.M.

RE: [QUAD-L] Jealousy
Seven years ago I would have agreed with most of you about bowel care, but after suffering a twisted intestine and going through a lot of misery and finally getting it stabilized. I was under the care of a great Gastroenterologist. He had me keep track of everything I had to eat for 90 days, but also had me keep track of the length of each bowel program and the results. I almost didn’t believe him that he would be able to help if I did this, but thankfully I did. He suggested that I do a bowel care every day, preferably first thing in the morning after a cup of coffee or tea and cetera. I thought he was crazy, that would really shorten my time to get anything else done while I had an attendant! But the last four or five years had been so difficult with bowel care I thought I would try. He also started me on Align, Benefiber, and Miralax plus a multi vitamin. It took a couple months to find the right combination, and I worked closely with him. Presently we use only digital stimulation, and my usual routine takes 15-20 minutes. Once in awhile I will have a day or two without anything, and I have an occasional bout of diarrhea, but that is sort of normal for anyone not necessarily just the quad. I do have an overhead lift so that I can sit on the commode chair, and I am sure that is a great plus for this program. Being a C4 quad I cannot sit upright very effectively so that my body is relatively straight in the commode chair, so the lift is a great blessing. We all know that every one is so different, but I thought I would share just in case it helps somebody else. But I credit my gastroenterologist for caring enough to work closely with me. I also have a colonoscopy every five years and he has been very happy with those results. Joan in very windy and very tired of the wind Reno J
Re: [QUAD-L] Jealousy
That's awesome you can get done in 20 minutes. I always have a concern if I eat and take to many laxatives I will bend over and constantly have mishaps. At least you found your personal ingredients that work.

Re: [QUAD-L] i want this van......opinions?
I'm familiar with that van. I haven't tried it yet, but I did talk to an owner down here in Tampa and they were very pleased with it. Yes, someone six-foot tall can fit in it depending on how tall there chair sits. As far as I know, this van has the most had clearance of any mini size van.

Re: [QUAD-L] i want this van......opinions?
I tired of lift vans and my next one is going to be a ramp style. I would rather have a fold up ramp instead of in floor. This thing I wonder about the transition is when I go down the ramp with my quad hands I might run into the car next to me if they are close.
