I've recently had the Dahl docking station installed in my Mercedes sprinter. It's so much better than my old Permobil restraint system which was a terrible design. I'm now using a Quickie 700 in my van. However, I have been thinking about getting a second wheelchair. Somebody on here has given me some ideas but I was also thinking about getting another Permobil. However, I can see we might have a problem. Apparently, Permobil F5 wheelchairs either come ready prepared for Dahl, or you can buy the parts and have it already to work with your current Dahl docking station. Now, this is where the problem lies. If I purchase an F5 that is already fitted with Dahl I may not sit in the same driver's position because I've obviously been measured for the Quickie and the bit that clamps to the chair maybe in a slightly different position on the Permobil. I'm not sure if there's any way around it because apparently, there is no room for adjustment on the Permobil, it fits in one place and one place only. Has anyone else had experience with this?
