Re: Van modifications for a wheelchair

[Guest guest]

If the person is planning on remaining in the wheelchair while in the van one of two choices is available. You can either have the roof of the van raised or the floor of the van lowered. That is because the wheelchair sits taller than a regular seat and if the person sitting in the wheelchair is tall, he will hit his head on the roof of the van if one of these modifications is not done. I researched these van modifications for about two months before I decided on the rear entry - for convenience and price.

We have a lowered floor. We are getting used to using it - we only have it for two

weeks now. Still in all these modifications are expensive - but necessary.
