Handicapped RV

People with disabilities and the physically challenged can read this and learn how specially customized handicapped RVs can transform vacations in excitement level, variety and scope.

This is a website that has been created to bring a wealth of information to people who have disabilities or physical handicaps. People who may need to know some things about the topics surrounding the subject of disabled mobility and handicapped accessibility and transportation.

This includes (but is not exclusive to) specially adapted and wheelchair accessible vehicles for those with disabilities that are not able to use regular means of transport. It also includes such facilities for those who want to get into RV'ing but were unaware that it was possible.

Example of a Fully Wheelchair Accessible RV

Below is an example promotional video for a wheelchair accessible motorhome: The Newmar Canyon Star 3911. This is to provide a visual example of the kind of vehicle that is available.


Full details including price and purchase options can be obtained from the official website at www.newmarcorp.com.

Facilities for People with Disabilities

There are many different types of facility designed for use by people who are physically limited in some way to make their lives much more comfortable. Add to that they provide the ability to perform normal tasks with ease and dignity that every person should have access to.

These range from the simple things like special handicap ramps set in place for wheelchairs to gain access to public buildings and getting on and off the sidewalk with a smooth and trouble free operation. We also look at more complex areas such as vans that have wheelchair access, those special vehicles that have been adapted or created from scratch to make getting around not just possible, but with the ability to do so with relative ease and in comfort.

Wheelchair Accessible Vans

These are adapted or customized versions of regular vans or MPVs that are designed specifically for transporting the physically handicapped, including wheel chair users.

They are generally fitted with handicap ramps, which are electronically powered ramps or wheelchair lifts designed specifically to aid entry and exit of the vehicles.

Handicap vans are perfect for transporting people with physical mobility limitations around town or to visit places of interest or even just the stores for a day of shopping and then bringing them home again. There are many towns and cities with municipal sectors responsible for providing a service for those who need it. There are also many volunteer groups who provide these vehicles and a trained driver to offer many free transportation services to people with mobility issues.

RVs

rvBut of course, if it's the thrill of driving off in your very own, specially adapted and customized handicap RV motorhome, this is a pretty useful site to read through.

You'll enjoy getting all the info on disability friendly, wheelchair accessible RVs and their accessories and additional customizable extras as well as some of the ways in which these vehicles can be used by their owners.

Handicap RVs are explained in the article with the same title you'll find in the navigation section in the right side bar of this page. But to give you a brief overview, we're talking about the specially customized or adapted recreational vehicles otherwise known as motor homes such as the Winnebago or Hymer that are popular with folks who like to have a vacation in their own mobile house on wheels.

These vehicles have been adapted to the needs of people with disabilities to enable them to fully use their own wheelchair friendly RVs the same as any regular folks. So anyone can have the same level of freedom to go wherever they want to go in a vehicle that doubles as a place to sleep and eat and relax along the way.

Accessories and Products to Aid Mobility

To further extend the usefulness of this website, we have added several pages that provide reviews and links to third party vendors that sell a wide range of products and accessories to improve accessibility and mobility for those that need them.

This includes wheelchair accessoriessuch as products to improve the comfort and practicality of wheelchairs, walker accessories and those for several other purposes such as accessories for showers, bathrooms, and mobility aids such as motorized scooter accessories.

Just to recap: This site covers the many specialized transportation methods for people with disabilities. That is in additions to peripheral, related subjects such as handicap bathrooms, showers and bathtubs; ramps and accessibility aids; vans and other specially adapted vehicles such as the handicapped RVs that the site is named after.

As well as these we have a good collection of related themes and topics of interest for people that like to get around.

We hope you will get a lot out of this website and hopefully enjoy reading our originally written articles on a variety of subjects related to the needs of people with physical limitations. They have all been created by the site's author, written in plain English and in a way that is easy to understand and digest for anyone who has an interest in this subject matter.
