The reason I brought a 83.5 Vanagon GL($3000) was to transport my son who is
handicaped and wheelchair-bound.
The center seat was removed and tiedown anchor strips were mounted in 4
places-behind driver and passenger seats,in front corners of rear bench
seat-adjustable tiedown straps fitted with hooks at other end for the
wheelchair.There are 2 6ft folding aluminum ramps for access/exit van.All
this was done by Labron Mobility for approx Can$700 in 1995.
The Vanagon can't be beaten for space to move a wheelchair around in or the
big door for access-no tilting the w/chair to get in and out.
And now I have the chance-I would like to thank those who post their
problems/solutions and the archives-it has helped me big time since I got my
computer begining this year.
