Reasons To Buy An RV If You Use A Mobility Aid
Posted on: 22 January 2016
Are you disabled, but you'd still like to travel? Does the thought of trying to navigate your wheelchair or mobility scooter through an airport make you reluctant to fly? Travel doesn't have to be something to be avoided. While flying is the fastest way to get to your destination, here are some reasons why you should consider purchasing an RV for your travel needs instead:
Wheelchair accessible: By default, an RV isn't very wheelchair-friendly. Fortunately, there are wheelchair lifts that are made especially for installation in an RV. With an automatic lift, nobody will need to struggle to heft your wheelchair in and out of the back of the vehicle. You'll simply roll onto the lift and be raised into the vehicle. If your RV has a spacious enough interior, this can also give you freedom of movement once inside the cabin. Instead of having your wheelchair or scooter strapped to the back of the vehicle and you being restricted to one seat, you'll be able to use your wheelchair or scooter to move back and forth inside.
Comforts of home: When you go traveling and stay in a hotel, you probably have to make special requests for your accommodations. Even if the hotel tries their best to make you comfortable, it may not be enough for your needs. Instead of worrying about whether the next hotel will have a well-equipped handicap-accessible bathroom for you to use, you'll always have everything you need in your RV. In addition, if you have special dietary needs, eating out while traveling can be difficult. But with an RV, you can have a little kitchen that is stocked with all of your favorites, allowing you to have a healthy and nutritious meal wherever you are.
Freedom to go anywhere: Traveling with a mobility device can be difficult. Aside from airport woes, your destinations are often restricted to places that have wheelchair accessible taxis. Not only can this limit your travels to large cities, the additional fees for ordering a taxi with a wheelchair ramp can make it prohibitively expensive to see everything you want to see. But with an RV, you can go anywhere that has an appropriate road. If you have family in a small town that doesn't even have a taxi service, you can still visit them and enjoy their company. For even more mobility, you can even tow a smaller vehicle behind most RVs, giving you the ability to go wherever you want.
