Making our motorhome accessible

Thursday, June 18th, 2009 | Accessible Travel, Equipment, Wheelchair

We are back from another camping trip with the motorhome and this time I was able to get some photos of our ramp system. We’ve yet to follow through on ordering some lighter weight ramps, but I still wanted to show what our current system is like. It worked well again this weekend and is definitely something that Rob or I can do if we are alone, although having a second pair of hands definitely makes things much safer.

Ramps have been put into place and Quincy is in her “ramp chair” ready to come out of the motorhome…

We drop the wheelchair down in to the stepwell, which isn’t difficult, and then she is ready to come down the ramp. My handsome assistant is my husband, Rob.

Ta-da!! We are safely down! I think Quincy should be a little happier about the whole process, but I guess she was content in the warm motorhome and not all that thrilled about a walk in the brisk, coastal breeze. Sometimes, she is a typical teenager!
