So let me get back to this....... One of the things a handicapped person needs to consider when shopping for their van:..
Do I want to drive from my wheelchair ? or Do i want to transfer out of my chair to the driver seat?

It didn't take long with the black bumper on the front and I was ready to do something out back. Same story here , I picked up an aftermarket unit in primer . I talked a friend at work into helping me plasma cut out a hole in the new bumper for the trailer plug. Sent her off to Linex and got it...
Next to go were those terrible fiberglass molded steps . I thought about just removing them and going stepless , but the wife nixed that idea . She needed a step of some description to get in. I had long thought I wanted some Aluminess steps and started to order a set but every time I talked my...

Super excited to see the positive feedback ! I'll believe I get started then. The first year almost will be lacking in photos , I hadn't planned to do a build thread at first . All the challenges I have encountered motivated me to try to create some sort reference that others might find while...
