Description

Shortly before I received my power chair, we purchased our mobility van. We worked with the vocational rehabilitation team from the Commonwealth of Kentucky because I was still working at team. They agreed to cover the cost of the accessibility upgrades if we bought the vehicle. We worked with Superior Van & Mobility in Lexington, KY, to purchase and configure our vehicle.

Side or rear ramp?

We ultimately chose a side entry. The rear entry option’s main advantage is finding a parking space. Side entry vehicles have the primary advantages of the rear seat and additional storage. We wanted the rear bench and the storage.

Locking pin?

The locking pin allows you to lock your chair into the van without needing the tie downs. We chose not to do this because the pin on the chair tends to get caught on things and can dig into the dirt and grass. The convenience in the van wasn’t worth the limitations outside of the van.

We are happy with our van. Always explore your options before finalizing any purchase whether new or used, from a dealer or an individual. We have had a good experience working with Superior and recommend them if they service your area.
