Hi, I'm looking at vehicle options to transport me, my scooter, and my assistance cat, on fun days out.
Currently I have an estate car with boot hoist, but it can only carry my small scooter. The ideal vehicle would be a van or WAV type vehicle with automatic powered rear access ramp. I've been doing some googling and all the WAV vehicles I've seen have a manually deployed ramp. Well that's no use to me on wet dark winter nights cos I suffer from chronic pain and am so unsteady on my crutches that I'm not up to faffing around with manual ramps.
Ideally I would like a van with an automatic powered rear ramp and tailgate (I don't need rear passenger seats). I thought if I got a van with a high roof then I could ride the scooter up into the back of the van and scrabble round to the driver's seat. The only downside to this is modern vans all seem to have a metal bulkhead between the cab and luggage area. I wonder if the bulkhead can be unbolted and removed?
But I can't seem to find a UK converter who does a powered ramp and tailgate conversion? Anyone know of anywhere?
