George started the topic That is one solution… in the forum
RVing with Special Needs 1 month agoWent to Reno yesterday and saw how this guy solved the wheel chair to the RV problem. Was wondering how he got all that into his trailer until I walked around front and saw his diamond plate trailer for hauling it. (Later I saw his Pick Up which was all diamond plate from the cab back.)

RVing with Special Needs 2 months ago · updated 1 month, 2 weeks agoMy wife has Rheumatoid Arthritis and found getting into our Cougar 297RKS painful and awkward. So I made some changes. First I replaced the 3 step, stairs with a 4 step version that has mostly 7 inch steps rather than 9 inch!! They are the “Elkhart Tool and Die Quadra Step”. Very easy to install, and the owners were very helpful with my…[Read more]

Now he’s dedicating the next few years of his life to show others with disabilities that they too can hit the road on a cross-country adventure.”

Stumble across this link today. Early days for the blog but could yield some interesting info as he goes.
“Qchair’s Traveler is currently nearing completion of modifying a 2005 Wildwood LE 29 FBSRV toy hauler to be fully wheelchair accessible. We chose a toy hauler as it offered the greatest usable space and the easiest way to create an…[Read more]

I posted this in the newbie section and then found this group so I am reposting it here hoping for suggestions.
I would consider myself a pre-newbie as we have not yet made the move to purchase an RV. We are into the action part of our plan and hope to be in our RV as fultimers by the end of the year. By action part of our plan I mean that…[Read more]

This would be ideal for campground RVing. Easily fits in our rig and saves me doing the pushing. The $2000 price tag is a bit beyond me as I have something else in mind.

What a great item. Would maybe insurance cover some of it??
-
Depends on your insurance and doctor I suppose. Medicare pays for my wife’s wheelchair. I will have to ask the firefly guys about that part.
I sent them an email but they haven’t got back to me.

They just go back to me. It appears that if you would qualify for a mobil wheel chair (like a Hoverround), that is if you can’t use your hands/arms to push the wheels of a regular wheel chair you would qualify for Medicare/Insurance support. See the link:

We’re going to give it a try.

Excellent article. Thanks for sharing. All those devices are really helpful but the best accommodation come from friends and family like you.

Nice steps, Hope you guys have many-many camping adventures together down the road!
Happy Trails!!!
Nice upgrade Brent! Looks like just the thing for folks that need a little help into the rig.
Thanks for sharing.
It’s a great solution. Being a safety nut, I recommend keeping an eye on the step’s rivets. I don’t know if it’s the same manufacturer (Elkhart Indiana is where many rv companies are based), but our rig came with a 4-step unit. We received a recall notice from Keystone to fix defective rivets that eventually break. All they did is drill them…[Read more]
