Handicapped access to RV's
My wife had extensive injuries from a car wreck that put her in a wheel chair for 10 months and until just recently, kept her out of our RV. We are in our 70's, and through this experience, we have come to have a real appreciation for what handicapped folks deal with every day. There seems to be lots of individuals that are either temporarily or permanently unable to negotiate stairs at home or in their RV's. I looked extensively for a temporary, reasonably priced solution for the RV that wouldn't require a complex modification, and finding none, ended up designing and building a device giving her access. My question is, are we the only one's frustrated with this lack of options? There seems to be unlimited products for anything else you can think of for an RV, but for the handicapped, not much. Of course, there is always the option of buying a special unit designed from the ground up, but that seems like a radical and very expensive solution. Is it just us, or, are we the only ones that found ourselves in this pickle?
