Re: [QUAD-L] i want this van......opinions?
I too am tired of my big lift van. I find it scary. We have a mini van with ramp lift but I can't drive it and can't get up and down the lift by myself. So, if I got a mini van I could drive, I would need to get a power chair. I don;t want to do that but? Do they convert a smaller type of van with a lift ramp? so it would be not so big and awkward. I have a full size ford now but it is 19 yrs old and should be replaced. Any thoughts on good smaller vans for a lift ramp?

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.

Have you considered, visiting a NMEDA Certified Mobility Dealer and try out several different types of vehicles. The evaluations are free and you can gain so much tangible information. Remember knowledge is power. Best Wishes In a message dated 6/17/2014 9:57:21 A.M. Central Daylight Time, sbell...@cox.net writes: I too am tired of my big lift van. I find it scary.

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.

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.
