Does anyone know of any camper/caravan that is wheelchair friendly? The doors on caravans just aren't wide enough for a wheelchair and my research so far finds that manufacturers seem reluctant to modify door width. Any help appreciated. Thanks

At the last caravan show in
Brisbane there was a van built for wheelchair access.
The van was also previewed on TV.

John,
These guys are great. This bloke has been a para for a few years and got fed up with being planted next to the shower block every time they travelled. Now he can set up anywhere an able-bod can go.
They launched the caravan at the
Melbourne Caravan Show this year. No lifter, but a full easy access ramp that folds away and a wide door. And it doesn't stop there, inside is very spacious with plenty of room for the wheelie to manouver. Great shower etc.
I'm not on the payroll, just a fan. Anyway, have a look, it's pretty unique.

Daintree.
