Visitor's story....

You may remember when I talked about a Travel Supreme in Wisconsin that I had seen. Well this was a wheel chair accessible motor home because the man was in a wheel chair and needed to be able to come and go without help from his wife or driver.

This was especially nice when he just wanted to go for a ride in the campgrounds. The arm lift system allowed him to exit and enter the motor home without any needed assistance. The overall set up of the interior fit his needs as well.

He was able to move about anywhere in the inside without as much as a problem. He was able to use the bathroom and shower, which was set up for a handicapped person and could do anything he needed.

The kitchen area had lower shelves on one side that were perfect to keep the things he would want at any one time. He was extremely impressed with the way the motor home was constructed and set up for a handicapped person.

Because of the super arm lift, you lose no addition space inside as well. It folds away nice and neat until you need it again.

The need to travel is not just for you and me, it is for everyone and manufacturers realized this need when they started making these arm lifts for vehicles. They were instrumental in putting them into motor homes to allow everyone no matter who you are to camp and travel in comfort with ease.

Now, you will not find this east to do in a popup camper, but if you need a wheel chair accessible motor home, you can find one by talking to a dealer and expressing your needs.

This includes the lift and the interior of the camper.
