Hi my name is john, my wife had a stroke 2 years ago and is now left without the use of her left side. We have been able to get her into the caravan with a push and a shove lol and the aid of brut force. But we have a problem getting her out, while she can stand in the doorway she is not able to lower herself onto the first step outside the caravan.
Help any ideas pleaseeeeeeeeeee its a Danette 14foot, old bur solid.
are you good at diy perhaps you could make her a ramp that slots over your step hope that might help failing that visit your local mobility centre they might be able to help you or the extreme either a crash mate or parachute
yes cannot remember where but i have seen a step that lowers itself down and up electrically.these were made for motor homes but could be adapted for a caravan i think.i will try to find out for you.
------------- the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
i beleive ricoh make an electric step and lift in a narrow version for use with motor homes/caravans, i shall have a search for you. there is also a scissor type lift around that folds down to about 4" and raises to around 2`, i will try to find it, not cheap tho if i remember rightly
Most of the folks I know have had adaptions done by KC mobility, I know they do a seat hoist into a motorhome, or footplate hoist. Depends which is best for the customer, I seem to remember one of the folks at the centre saying that they will pick up and return to your doorstep, not absolutely sure about that though!
Hope that is what the person is after, their address is-
other sloution i have seen adapted to use as a walking aid is to get a proper scaffolding plank which are light weight and they act as a ramp from the awning to the doorway (not the wooden planks) they seem to some sort of reinforced board with some kind of non slip material covering them....im sure someone knows the kind i mean
Not 100% sure. 99.9, but I believe that if you have a structural adaption made then you can claim the purchase tax back from HM, could be a few grand off a new van!
