Several years ago, I got into a conversation with a nice couple who pulled into the spot next to us at an RV park. I had noticed that they had a lift installed on their coach and was intrigued to see it work. They invited us over later in the day and as we again started talking about their accessibility needs and it turned out that the wife could walk just fine but had issues when it came to negotiating stairs but especially getting into and out of bed.
They weren't hesitant to show us what they used to assist her in this task so they took us into their bedroom and demonstrated the lift they used.
I can't remember the name of it or even exactly what it looked like but it was similar to this:
Bestcare Lifts (Model No. PL400H)
However, they didn't use a sling but he had built a small chair-like hanging platform for her to sit on to be lifted so she could slide on and off the bed to the platform.
Again, my memory isn't sharp enough to remember exactly how it worked but when they showed it to us we though it was ingenious. It also was relatively light, maneuverable in a small space, and could be folded up --or disassembled quickly, can't remember which-- so to be put out of the way when traveling.
