Forest River Van
A passenger van engineered for versatility.
With commercial passenger vans emerging as the fastest growing ground transportation segment, Forest River Van delivers the most versatile product in the market today. Whether you are transporting patients, hotel guests, commuters, or residents, the Forest River Van model offers a variety of flexible floor plans and seating configurations. With similar options as a small shuttle bus, this van is a cost-effective option when passenger capacity needs are 15 passengers or less. In addition, there are floor plan options for up to four wheelchairs, making it the ideal handicap-accessible wheelchair van for sale.
If you want to grow your transportation fleet quickly, vans are an excellent choice. They offer quality and versatility at a lower price than commercial buses. If you’re considering a passenger van for sale, we encourage you to look at the Forest River Van.
