Thank you. Very helpful.

Can you help me find a G wagon that can be converted for wheelchair accessibility?

[@Eva_H]

Are you looking to privately fund a G wagon? Do you reside in the UK? (I’m assuming the answers yes). If I can have answers to that question, I may be able to answer your original question.

@@Eva_H no, sir, I live in USA. I am a quadriplegic myself in a power chair, but I am looking to see if I can get a G wagon trunk that can be modified. I just need to be a passenger.

@@AR-il7gn Ok if and I stress IF you have the money for one are you able to buy one? FIRSTLY and more IMPORTANTLY you’re going to have to find a conversion company that does CONVERSIONS ONLY FIRST and take it from there. EXAMPLE let’s say you have a pick up but you want it converted (let’s say the ATC conversion for example) you could go in talk to somebody who does conversion only with full bespoke (full custom) then you have a plan. Ultimately, you have to go find somebody who can do a full custom conversion FIRST, BEFORE you buy the vehicle (assuming you have the funds to do so). In terms of entering/exiting the vehicle, do you need to be in your wheelchair or are you fine on a normal seat? Again you just need to find a conversion company that can go through options. The only mobility company I know of in the US (I don’t know if they do custom however) is Startracks mobility. You’ll want to talk to them first BEFORE you end up buying a vehicle. I hope this is helped somewhat? I live/reside in the UK so I have little familiarity with the mobility companies out in the US specifically doing vehicle conversions but I do like to look what sort of conversions are out there? (generally speaking) especially on that side of the Atlantic. Again, I don’t have a solid familiarity but if you reach out to Star Tracks mobility somebody there may be able to help (at the very least they can put you in touch with somebody who can help). I know they’re based in Indiana which if I’m not mistaken is on the East Coast and that’s all I know about personally (as a company). Apologies for the ramble, I hope this has helped in giving you some form of information that you didn’t have before at the very least. Take care you, alright?

Hey mate I totally love you and your vids. I’ve got Motability coming to mine for an assessment for this type of vehicle, I’ve had quite a few cars off them but now I need my big electric wheelchair full time so hopefully I will be able to transfer onto drivers seat. Anyway thanks for all you information and you could be a comedian your quite funny cheers. Michael
