The wheelchair-lift and other modifications

After verifying with Mobility Specialists that this motorhome was a good candidate for the necessary modifications, we made the purchase. 

They did a great job of adding the door and integrating it with the lift so that it all operated with the same remote. I could not be happier with the fabricator that I used!!

By removing the loveseat and cutting a hole in the now vacant area behind the passenger seat a wheelchair-lift was installed.





Because the model of RV that I chose has a full-wall slide I have plenty of elbow room.  After purchasing a shower seat ($30 from Amazon.com)  and, building a ramp ($0. for materials found in my garage) for the step up into the bedroom I was good to go.

    1. The whole thing is really cool!! If you get to close the lift has a beeping noise. My dogs are learning WAIT and, I don't have to do anything. (It's a win – win)

    1. Are you talking about doing your own fabrication and installation? I suppose you can, but that's way over my head.
      Or, are you talking about a use in your house?

    2. Can you tell me the make and model of the lift that was installed? We purchased a Bus and are converting it. We can't seem to find info on lifts that have a great than 48 inch drop.
      Thank you!

  4. However because you are going through a dealer, you should expect to pay a premium. valutazione camper laika
