Question from Reader:  I have a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country and need to have the floor lowered and made into a handicapped / wheelchair accessible van.  Someone told me you can’t convert anything older than a 2008.  Is this true?

Answer From Superior:  Yes and No.  First, if you haven’t already, please speak with one of our associates so we can understand your specific situation.  The case may be that there are other options less expensive than a conversion that can accomodate your mobility needs.  However, if the person in need of the handicapped van will be staying in their chair when traveling, there are a couple of options for your existing van.  In order for your van to undergo a Braun Side Entry Full Power lowered floor conversion, they are no longer accepting chasses that are older than 2008 models.  So from that perspective, your friend is correct.  However, we do work with other conversion companies that can offer rear entry conversions on models as old as 1998 (there are some limitations, so please call to discuss).  Also, if a Braun Side Entry Lowered Floor Automatic Conversion is the way to go for you, please remember that we accept unconverted vehicles as trades towards a purchase of new, preowned or used mobility van!  There are many ways to go that will depend on your mobility needs and financial situation.  I would suggest exploring them all with one of our mobility experts before you move forward.
