Posted in Guides January 31st When it comes to discussing vans there is a lot of different terminology, if you are new to the van world you will often hear long wheelbase LWB or short wheelbase SWB and these refer to a specification of a van.
But what exactly do they mean? Looking at short wheelbase van and a long wheelbase van the difference is essentially the length; long wheelbase vehicles have a clear extension on the end which causes the wheels to be further apart. Also, an easy way to tell the difference on most makes and models is to see if there is a gap in between the sliding door and the rear wheel arch, if there is a gap then the van is not a short wheelbase. However, certain models have a larger sliding door or extend from behind the rear wheel instead.
