This would have to be one of the most commonly asked questions we hear, and the answer is, there’s a shoe to fit every foot.
Both side and rear entry conversions have their pros and cons and depending on your usage, environment and lifestyle, one will be more suitable to your needs, and we are here to help you make the right choice.
Lets start with the basic pros and cons of each vehicle but before we do, lets address one of peoples biggest concerns. Parking!
People make the common mistake of assuming a side entry vehicle will be hard to park and maintain safe and clear access. After multiple field studies we can confirm this is not the case, there are many options when parking a side entry including kerb side where you can drop the ramp directly onto the foot path or nature strip.
