Due to my weight, and girth, they can't lift me onto one of those scooters either and my wheelchair is too wide to fit through the doors. How can I go back to shopping at Wal-Mart?

I became disabled following an operation 2 years ago & have very limited ambulation with a walker. I also have a severely handicapped adult step-son who is confined to a wheelchair and is completely non-ambulatory.
I am looking to purchase a good used mini-van to install a wheelchair lift into.
My wife has a friend whose husband has been disabled for many years & he swears that the only van that he is able to scoot off his scooter into is a Toyota Sienna ?
Consumer Reports apparently rates the 2005 Toyota Sienna very highly but Edmunds rates the 2001-2006 Honda Odyssey very highly ?
I have found 2004-2005 models of the above vans with 25,000-35,000 miles on them.
Which van is the best to convert to a wheelchair van ?
Pros & Cons of each van ?
Are there better mini-vans to convert to a wheelchair van ?
many people use Dodge Grand Caravan or Chrysler Town and Country--
you need to have a lowered floor so there is head clearance when you go up the ramp---
