I have an RV that is totally wheelchair accessible. UVL (under vehicle lift), roll-in shower, raised toilet, and roll-under sink. My husband and I traveled for many years in it and he has passed away recently. I have done all the driving etc., but I feel like someone in a chair could be getting good use out of it.
Thanks,
Maureen

Probably your local Craig's List would be a good start. Good luck to you. We're all sorry to hear about the passing of your husband.

When I look for wheelchair motorhomes the easiest search sites I found are Rv Trader Online and Disabled Dealer Magazine.

When we were looking for ours, we searched everywhere we could find. The most helpful was RV Trader.com. We are in Texas and purchased in California. The larger the broadcast area, the more response.

Cragslist is also a good area, but people can not look nationwide, only locally ( using the search feature ).

You may be surprised at how quickly you sell ( if priced correctly ), there are not a lot of units with full accessability out there.

Good luck

Don't know if there is a site like here in Canada (Canadian Paraplegic Association), they have a swap and shop section and I have seen vans, home, motorhomes etc for sale on it. When we bought our Class A we bought a StrongArm lift off it for a fraction of new cost. When it got here it was in mint condition and I had talked to the previous owner and they had put it in a van and after 2 months his son passed away so had no further need for it. Brother in Law and I made a rear entry to the MH and installed the lift. I made a lot of changes inside but it works pretty good.

Biggest problem I see in construction and RV's is no one is thinking about people that have trouble with mobility and that problem is growing as we are part of an aging population.
