Amerivan by ElDorado National
Setting New Standards
ElDorado National Company originally began in 1956 when two brother in southern California invented and started producing the first cab-over pickup truck camper in the recreational vehicle industry. After nearly 50 years of growth and evolution, today we stand at the pinnacle of the commercial bus industry as the largest volume producer in North America.
To Further expand and diversity out product line, in March of 2001, we acquired the mobility van division from the premier wheelchair lift and personal elevator manufacturer, Ricon Corporation. The operation was moved from California to our new, 250,000 sq. ft state-of-the-art facility in Salina, Kansas. Having both commercial bus and mobility van divisions in one location affords numerous benefits in both efficiency and distribution. In addition to commercial products such as the PT and VersaShttle, our van mobility division offers the Amerivan as well, designed specifically for personal use. All models carry on the tradition of quality and value our commercial bus products have long been known for.
"Setting new standards for quality engineering, creative design and meticulous craftsmanship, the Amerivan provides practical solutions to today's mobility challenges."
Amerivan adheres to the finest details of quality design and construction. Clearly, the Amerivan is built to last... One of the many reasons why Amerivan owners are among the most satisfied in the lowered floor minivan market. Every ElDorado National component of your Amerivan has undergone rigid testing for safety and performance. And the crash-tested Amerivan design meets or exceed all applicable U.S. vehicle safety standards.

Because Life is a Moving Experience
When I built my first three-wheeled scooter in 1962, I didn't realize the solution to my personal mobility would eventually change thousands of lives. I soon discovered there were many like me who refused to let physical limitations keep them from the places they wanted to go.
It was the start of a new company, and the beginning of an industry that would slowly change the public's perception of people with disabilities. Today, over 45 years later, I'm happy to say I'm still hard at work helping people lead full and active lives. Though our company has grown into a world-wide corporation, our commitment to helping individuals has remained the same from day one.
Having personally used my mobility aids from the beginning, I invite you to place your confidence in the products bearing my family name. Because – as I've known all along – Life Is a Moving Experience!
Sincerely,
Ralph Braun
Founder & CEO

Howell Ventures
Sure-Grip Hand Controls
About Us
The beginning was almost tragic, the outcome truly remarkable. Keith Howell, president and founder of Howell Ventures Ltd. was in his early teens when he became a quadriplegic. As in most teenage boys, Howell still carried the desire to drive a car and be independent. After trying several styles of manual hand controls, Howell settled on one that dealt best with his disability. The only problem was that the manufacturer of the particular style had gone out of business. So, Howell set about to manufacture a set of controls that would emulate the easiest style of driving that he was able to find.
Twenty years later, Howell’s “SURE GRIP” hand controls have become a leader in the disabled driving aids market in both Canada and U.S.A. Howell Ventures consists of a major manufacturing facility, with its corporate office located in Upper Kingsclear.
Just recently, SURE GRIP hand control’s unique “push rock” acclaimed style of driving—push forward for brake, rock back for acceleration—has been promoted by the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) as the fourth recognized style of driving for the disable under nationally recognized terminologies. This endorsement brought a lot of industry credibility to Howell’s design.
Simply, the SURE GRIP hand control was constructed to serve people with perhaps the highest level of disability. The controls operate with very little hand strength and, unlike any other hand control on today’s market, the unique vertical handle allows the operator virtual two handed contact with the steering wheel—something no other product offers. SURE GRIP, while recognized early on as the product most appropriate for the most difficult cases, soon gained acceptance as the easiest to use control on the market for all users.
It means a great deal more to a disable person than it does an able bodied person. I remember thinking that I could not be the only one who would benefit from this style of driving. Boy was I right!
