RE: [QUAD-L] Honda Odessey

[Silas Shelburne]

Quadius, 

I just got a new TDX wheel chair, my old chair is a 2003 Invacare storm.  It
was used very little because it wasn't made for a farm terrain, so I
purchased a 4x4 chair.  The only thing wrong with the storm is the tilt
won't work, its probable something simple I never had it checked by a chair
repairman.  If you ever need a part or if you need the chair your more than
welcome to have it, the only thing is its sip & puff controlled.

It's almost embarrassing to say what type of chair I'm in.  I am still using
my 1995 Invacare storm rear wheel drive with a Peachtree headrest.

Since I am going to have to be changing seating systems (currently use La
Bac) and driving mechanisms, would rather stay with a rear wheel drive if
possible.

Re: [QUAD-L] Honda Odessey

[Quadius]

I agree Mike, but unfortunately the chair is getting so old that I am afraid
the VA is not going to allow me to get too many more repairs done.  Not only
that parts are getting harder to obtain.  One of these days something might
break the they are unable to fix and I will end up in bed down until I can
get a new chair in.

The new Peachtree is an absolute travesty.  It's just sad they took
something so good and completely messed it up.

I will  have to wait until they have used Honda Odyssey's.That is good to 
hear   that a Permobile
Will fit into smaller Van, .I know what you're saying Quadius.
 
Good luck with your driving Larry!
 
 
Paul,
That's great that you can drive and get a Honda Odyssey.
 
It seems like it takes forever,to get parts for my PerMobile.Does anyone  
else have that trouble?
Dana
 


I am getting ready to order a new chair and I'm thinking about going with  
Permobile and have even tried out the C500, but I didn't like the fact that it  
was a front wheel drive chair.  I know I wouldn't have fit into a small van  
with a chair as I am 6 foot three when I am stood up.  
I would love to be able to get into a smaller van.

Re: [QUAD-L] Honda Odessey

[wheelchair]

EMC, secondary controls were originally designed for full size van and all  
their room. Dodge was the first to offer the minivan for many years.   Because 
of that EMC, redesigned the Gold Series around the Dodge Caravan and the  
Plymouth Voyagers.  When Chevy introduced the Venture Series minivans, EMC  had 
nothing for the first two years.  Then in 2004, they were able to  readapted  
the Gold Series Controls to the Chevy minivans.  I really  don't know what they 
did for Ford minivans and the foreign cars.
I do know its not any easier than it was 5 years ago with Detroit's design  
changes.  And yes, EMC Gold Series is not cheap

You're very correct that it seems to take a long time to get parts for my  
Permobile which seems ridiculous as it would seem they would have parts in the  
US but it seems like it takes forever.  It is the most comfortable chair I  
have ever had.  If you can believe that I had only had E & J, which  were not 
comfortable at all.
