From the pictures it looks like Nor-Cal Mobility did a great job installing the Braun Millennium wheelchair lift. While Braun makes a wide range lifts not all have the ability to extend to the ground on a raised 4wd van. While we will lose some interior space when the lift is stowed it shouldn't be a major problem and of course worth it for those folks who will get their first off road experiences in this rig. It will be very interesting to get this setup out in a variety of terrains and see how it works in sand, rocks, mud and such.
Nor-cal was a huge resource during the design and build process, they also were able to get thing installed in record time. One thing we don't have that a chair users would is automatic door openers. It was an additional expenses and since I can walk and open doors we opted to wait and see about adding the openers later.
I hope to be in Fresno at Sportsmobile West in a few days to help finish up the final details before we talk the rig to SEMA. We have been very lucky throughout this project to receive the support of our sponsors and the enthusiasm of the public. SEMA has even come on board with a very gracious donation of a 20x30 ft split island booth #30193. If you are planning to attend the show please stop by and check out the W.A.V.E. for yourself.
