Choosing the right wheelchair van isn’t just about finding a vehicle that fits your budget – it’s about understanding which accessibility features will actually work for your daily life. At Paul Sherry Conversion Vans, we’ve helped thousands of families navigate these choices, and we know that what looks good on paper doesn’t always work in real life.

This guide breaks down the features that really matter, from different types of lifts to entry configurations, so you can make decisions based on your actual needs rather than marketing brochures.

Entry Options: Side vs. Rear Side Entry Wheelchair Vans

How it works: You enter through the passenger side door using a ramp or lift system.

When side entry makes sense:

• You [...]

Think about where you actually park. Grocery stores, medical buildings, shopping centers: most of the time, you're pulling up to a curb. Side entry wheelchair vans let you load and unload safely from the sidewalk side, away from traffic and other vehicles.

No more worrying about having enough space behind your van. No more blocking other cars while loading. Side entry gives you the flexibility to park in regular spaces and still have full wheelchair access. It's the practical choice for families who spend time in the real world.

Get the latest safety features, modern technology, and full manufacturer warranties with our new side entry wheelchair vans. Custom order exactly the configuration you need, or choose from our in-stock inventory.

Quality pre-owned side entry vans offer proven reliability at prices that make sense. Every used van is thoroughly inspected – both the vehicle and the side entry equipment – before joining our inventory.

Getting around shouldn’t feel like an obstacle course. But if you’re facing mobility challenges that don’t involve a wheelchair, that’s often exactly what it becomes. Maybe your current car is too high to step into comfortably. Or maybe you’re constantly worried about falling while trying to get out. Whatever the case, transportation shouldn’t feel this hard.

At Paul Sherry Conversion Vans, we talk to folks every week who are frustrated with how their vehicles just aren’t cutting it anymore. Maybe your walker doesn’t fit in the trunk. Maybe long walks from the parking lot are exhausting—or just not possible anymore. You might even be juggling medical gear that your car can’t handle.

If that sounds familiar, know this: it doesn’t have to stay that way.

When Walking Aids Become a Hassle

If you use a cane, walker, or crutches, you probably know how annoying it is trying to fit them into a car. It might [...]

Getting the right wheelchair van shouldn’t be held up by financing worries. We get it – these vehicles cost more than regular cars, and the whole process can feel intimidating when you’re already dealing with a lot. At Paul Sherry Conversion Vans, we’ve been helping families figure out the money side of things for decades, and honestly, there are more options than most people realize.

Look, we’re not here to talk you into financing if you can pay cash. But most people need some help with the financial side, and there are actually more options out there than you might think. We just want to make sure you know what’s available so you can decide what makes sense for your family.

Let’s talk about one of the biggest decisions you’ll face when shopping for a used handicap van: side-entry or rear-entry? It’s a choice that goes well beyond preference – it’s about how your van will work in your actual life, with your specific needs, in the places you go every day.

At Paul Sherry Conversion Vans, we’ve guided countless families through this decision. We’ve seen the relief on people’s faces when they find the configuration that just “clicks” with their lifestyle. So let’s break down these options in plain language to help you figure out which might work better for you.

The Basics: How Each Van Setup Actually Works

Before diving into which might be right for you, let’s get clear on what we’re talking about.

Side-Entry Vans: Coming in From the Side

Picture this: You pull up to a parking space, and a ramp unfolds from the passenger-side sliding door. The floor inside has [...]

Let’s be honest – the travel bug has bitten all of us pretty hard lately. Road trips are making a massive comeback, and more travelers are discovering what van enthusiasts have known for years: nothing beats the freedom of having your comfortable home-on-wheels. But before you start hunting for that brand-new, shiny conversion van with all the bells and whistles, let’s talk about why used travel vans deserve your serious consideration.

1. Your Wallet Will Thank You

New conversion vans are gorgeous, but they come with price tags that can make your credit card break into a cold sweat. Pre-owned travel vans offer a refreshingly different approach to adventure.

Think about it: that two-year-old conversion van has already taken the biggest depreciation hit, but it still has plenty of adventures left in it. You’re essentially getting someone else’s financial loss as your gain – with features and amenities that were top-of-the-line just a short time [...]

Entry Systems and Interior Design

Power ramps and lifts offer convenience and ease of use, though manual systems provide reliability and often come at a lower cost point.
