Welcome to Handicapped Access, which is a specialist blog catering to people with physical or mental handicaps or to give the correct term, those with disabilities. The aim is to create a series of posts that cover many different aspects of this subject including mobility issues that appear when going out of doors and getting around town, as well as accessibility issues with regards to public buildings, areas and recreational facilities.

It also goes inside the private home and looks at the layout and design to see where improvements can be made to make it easier for a person with disabilities to get around and make full use of all the rooms and facilities that a modern home can offer.

Additionally, we’ll be looking at the transportation side of things such as handicap vans and other specially adapted or refurbished vehicles that are used for transporting people around as well as personal transportation in the three or four wheeled, electrically powered handicap scooters that you see more and more of around the place.

The general idea is to make this blog into something for everyone who is touched by any form of mental or physical handicap or disability, however you prefer to say it. So hopefully as I go along and add more and more articles to the mix, there will be something that relates to most of the people who find me and want to read me! That would make it all worth while and a glowing reminder of just what can be achieved when you put your mind to it. So let’s get this thing on its way!

The open road is a place that is enjoyed by the kind of person that loves the freedom of not being restricted or hampered by the kinds of rules and restrictions that taking a vacation in a fixed resort of hotel entail. It is all about breaking free of being told where you have to be and where you have to go. You can have your own vacation on your own terms in an RV that is really a luxury home away from home, just on wheels!

But this is all very well for the able bodied person or members of a family that can enjoy this kind of vacation. What about the person with disabilities that has to get around in a wheelchair? Well, there are ways of traveling the open road with a physical handicap in a specially modified type of RV that is designed around the needs of the physically handicapped.

These RVs have all the special fixtures and wider access that wheelchair users require, with motorized ramps for getting in and out to wider aisles, doorways and special bathroom fittings and fixtures to make your stay in one of these motor homes away from home as comfortable and accessible as your own home. Well, just about, anyway, considering the limitations on space. But many RVs of this class are large and have plenty of space inside for moving around, so even that is not a problem.

So if you are getting ready to plan your next vacation and want it to be something a little different from the usual, humdrum hotel stay, or resort that caters for users of wheelchairs, then consider one of these amazing RVs. You can rent them if you can’t afford to buy one (and who can these days?) and the costs are a lot less than you might imagine!

without comments

There are several great benefits to renting an wheelchair accessible RV over buying one outright. If you are a person with disabilities but do not want to feel restricted and love the idea of driving along the open road on vacation, then using a specially adapted RV for wheelchair users is a great option. Here we’ll take a look at some of these benefits.

One of the main RV rental benefits for wheelchair users is the cost when compared to that of RV ownership.

For instance, there is the cost of insulting the vehicle year to year, not to mention the cost of storage when you are not using it, assuming you are not able to keep it safely on your property.

Renting for the Short Term

Renting a handicapped RV is novel approach to that. You might want a handicap parking signs in your old age. I would recommend the path this a multitude others have taken with specially modified Winnebago. Here’s how you can start out too. How come? When it draws a parallel to accessibility, reading the fine print can save apprentices a ton of grief where there are new handicapped ramps products coming out all the time. That is how a disabled badge can work for you. Many ordinary citizens employ this aspect of wheel chairs.

Handicap RVs

I do realize that I would talk less about that when you’re the one who has to look at me. After all, how do you handle handicapped RV? That’s all that was in it. If only they had somebody to tell them this info was as good as they say it is. You need to be able to identify wheelchair access strengths as well as customized motorhome weaknesses.

Renting a handicapped RV is a great choice if you only feel you will ever use it maybe once a year for two weeks or so. You just pick it up when and where you need it, then give it back when you’re done!
