The rear tires are known to have negative camber and wear out the inside tread quickly. It's a known problem.


We bought an Accord 10 years ago that had the same problem. It's a Honda thing.

Hey thanks. Do take care of yourself.

Even with what is going on now, I still wake up and I still give thanks to our Good Lord every morning.

That's the spirit man, Im praying for you. You are one of my favorite posters and I'm sorry you have to go through these medical issues. That little cabin you built with your wood that you cut was truly awesome.

As far as a van goes I'd look at a Mercedes Sprinter.

Full size with windows. Will need camera viewing all around. Wife will be the driver.




If cameras all around are what you need, Honda is the only one that has this option to my knowledge. They have the blinker cameras

Why can't any of the car companies make a good looking van? Well the Mercedes is OK but the others are ugly

Which ones to buy and which ones to run away from?


A girl I know (wheelchair bound) said to choose the conversion company first then look at the vans they specialize in.

Superior (that is the one she used) has a location in Baton Rouge. Looking at their website, it looks like they specialize in converting Dodge Grand Caravans, Toyota Sienna, Chrysler Pacifica, Chrysler Voyager, Ram Promaster, and Honda Odyssey.

Superior

Good luck to you!

This made me remember my Dad had a van with cowboys painted on it when he met my mom
I’ll see if I can find a picture of it next time I’m there

Good luck & best wished to you Fish

I always wanted a conversion van when I was a kid. The ones with shag carpet on the walls, a bed, refrigerator, etc. There were some cool things in the 70s.

We use a Ram Promaster for our company delivery van. Tall roof offers plenty or room, rides surprisingly well and can easily carry 1,800 pounds.

We have almost 100,000 miles and other than an oil leak from a line it has been very reliable.

Engine is noisy. Lots of rattles.
