That's a great looking van. So glad you finally got it. What a saga! Just a couple of observations from someone who's been through a similar process (in case it helps other viewers). (1) I went with VMI, because their vans have a separate battery backup for the ramp, in case the main battery dies. Braun didn't offer this when I bought mine. (2) That low-effort braking system is something I could really use, but I'm uncomfortable with the big hunk of metal sitting right in front of the knee. I know my legs aren't much use, but I still don't relish the idea of smashing my kneecap to a pulp in a front-end collision. Still, the DME industry is so backward and amateurish that I doubt anyone else makes anything safer. (3) VMI configurations generally have a bit more space in the back, making maneuvering bigger chairs easier. (4) You probably weren't given the option, but a retracting pin on the bottom of your chair would preserve your ground clearance. Before I got one, I bent the pin on uneven ground and curbs a couple of times, than found I couldn't secure the chair to the van. A retracting pin solved this problem.

I didn't know that contracting pins were a thing! I've definitely gotten stuck on a few buts of uneven pavement. If I'm ever up for a replacement pin I will definitely ask about this!

Hello, love your van. I have the Braunability Chrysler Pacifica Van, with the transfer seat installed. I usually transfer from my Wheelchair to the drivers seat or just drive my car that has the Braun Chair topper installed.

[@DisabledInNature]

The Pacifica was the other option we almost went with!! The Sienna is less roomy in the middle space but she gets the job done 😎

[@twofzerot]

@@DisabledInNaturethe Pacifica is huge in the middle!

[@lewisbale1]

​@@twofzerotYes it is, most of the time when I go camping I just sleep in the van instead of my tent. My wheelchair is manual so I can fold it up and put it between my seats.

Nice van, I’m looking at the current generation of Sienna’s. I currently have Grand Caravan BraunAbility foldout but I’m looking at a VMI Infloor because of length of my Permobil powerchair

[@twofzerot]

I have a 2023 odyssey with in floor ramp for sale. If interested in knowing more about it, please get in touch.

Would have loved to see you drive it!

[@LizzyFerretOfficial]

Niiiiiice 👌🏽
Would a TetraGrip steering wheel spinner help distribute your effort a bit more & reduce the load on your shoulder? Just a thought 🤔
