Simple base option. https://www.gmcoachwork.co.uk/platinum- ... e-colorado
Other options. https://www.gmcoachwork.co.uk/drive-from-wheelchair

UK lowered floor VW. Shows an old models. But the new one is very nice. With fancy trim, all modern electronic toys, like auto lane following, auto braking and follow cruise, etc and they do camper versions too. I want this but in black... https://www.gmcoachwork.co.uk/drive-fro ... e-panorama drive from.

IF you find a US version, post a link here because I can import a left hand drive one cheaper!!!

I was originally referring to an old VW bus, but the van you linked to is sharp looking a spacious!

It looks like the old Chevy Astro's, but no one ever built a dropped floor version of the Astro (only a raised roof).

Oh. The only VW vans that are really big enough are what you call a eurovan. They do drop floor versions, drive from, side and rear entry. Thats the commercial transporter van or the well built and luxurious Caravelle based on the same chassis.

This is the current T6 transporter commercial van... Not even the caravelle.
These are not disposable like the typical honda/toyota/chrysler disposable minivan. They are really well built. Quality materials, quality plastics, super quality paint, and its rock solid and built to love and last!

Only thing I don't like is the under-the-van lift. Dust, mud, curbs, speed bumps, etc have ruined many under the vehicle lifts around here.
