Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Hi friends I am being picked up in about an hour to go get my new van. They have to do some work on it after they have my wheelchair, so I will spend the rest of the day at the adaptation facility. I am so excited and can't wait. laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 a I picked up the van and drove it directly to the dealership. The seatbelt chime and light would go on and off while driving. It is also running rough. They gave me a loaner while they look at it. I really hope I can get it back tomorrow afternoon. I still haven't mastered backing up the ramp. I plan to practice in garage, as I want to master it before driving off the edge of the ramp. Thanks for being excited for me. I was excited too, for a bit. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2004 17:13:08 -0500 > To: > Subject: Re: van > > Laurie, > Congrats on finally getting your van.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Laurie, What wonderful news! You have been waiting a long time for this new van. Take some pictures so we can see it. Enjoy it! Kathy, grandma to Audrey, 32 mos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Laurie, I am sorry you are still having problems with your van. I had to get a rental when my van first came in too. It is very frustrating, but once you get your van for good, it is so rewarding. I can't wait for the day you finally get it and I know you can't either. Do you have a rear or side entry ramp? Is it a ramp or lift? I have a side entry ramp. I was wondering why you have to back up the ramp. I go in forward. I did have to turn quite a bit to get out forward and am starting to go down backwards, as I also keep my manual chair in the van, so I can get tangled up it that. I don't go down backwards very often. A little to nerve wracking! I am hoping you get your van soon.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 a I have a side entry ramped mini-van. I think they want me to go in backwards to get the lock down to work properly, but I am going to try turning my chair around inside. It is a very large chair, but it turns easily. I just have to play around with it when I get the van back. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2004 22:21:11 -0500 > To: > Subject: Re: van > > Laurie, > I am sorry you are still having problems with your van.
