I ordered mine from MX, a motocross mail order company, paid about £40 very happy with it.

Ebay - search wheelchair ramps. I used for heavy lawn mowers and carp porters for years. I prefer the extra width of this type (they fold in half for storage)

. . has anyone done the Pepsi challenge (or preferably owned both) between a Wheel Chair Assisted vehicle with integrated ramp / Van with fold up Ramp (as in this post) - pros cons between both . . .?

Yes ... i now have a wheelchair ramp built in on a Peugeot Expert Tepee (same as in photo) .... I use for work and fishing (permanantly remove rear seats) .... Its a bit extreme but nothing works better in my experience because the load height is that much lower.

Is it a WAV vehicle or did you do it after purchase?
Apols interested but also looking to buy WAV vehicle for fishing but wondering whether normal van with ramp would be better / worse. WAV vehicles generally in better nick with no bulkhead etc . .

I agree with Chuffy.
I use the same ramp, which is made to clip on to the tow bar a my Transit Custom.
The barrow is fully loaded and powered straight in, it normally weighs anywhere from 60-100kg.
The ramp takes the weight no problem and you can straddle the ramp easily.

yes it is a WAV vehicle ... Benefits of WAV is they are cheap second hand, no VAT, have service history and can be very low mileage ... i bought mine with 22,000 on the clock

. . that was my thinking - most do have decent history, low miles, haven't been thrashed etc. Add blackout to glass = van!
