How does it work?
The VMI Northstar E-Series manual conversion is available for Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans. This is an economical package for those who will travel with a companion.
Your driving companion simply opens the passenger side sliding door and pulls out the nearly effortless manual slide-out ramp, allowing easy access to the lowered floor interior.
The VMI Northstar E-Series conversion is engineered to create 10” of additional headroom in the doorway and van interior, without compromising ground clearance. This provides a comfortable fit for most adults using manual wheelchairs, power chairs, or scooters.
What makes VMI Northstar E-Series Chrysler/Dodge conversion different?
The Northstar E-Series is an economical manual conversion.
VMI conversions (Northstar E-Series, Northstar, and Summit) provide more headroom in the doorway and front seating positions than other Chrysler/Dodge conversions, making this a good fit for taller drivers or passengers.
This conversion also has a longer center floor area than other Chrysler/Dodge conversions, providing more maneuvering space for larger wheelchairs, power chairs, and scooters.
VMI’s Northstar E-Series conversion includes tumble forward 3rd row seats, which provide more cargo space than any other lowered floor conversion minivan.

Financing Options for Wheelchair Accessible Vans
We work with lenders who understand our industry and accessible van conversions.
Extended term financing is one popular option for many accessible vans. For New vans, 10-year financing is available. For newer model Pre-Owned vans, the financing term is usually less than 10 years, but longer than typical banks or credit unions. You may also choose a shorter term loan and/or pay off the loan early with no pre-payment penalty.
Low interest loans are also available if you do not need extended term financing.
If you already have a strong relationship with your bank or credit union and do not need extended term financing, we will provide any information your lender needs to consider financing for your wheelchair accessible van.
