RV Transport for Elderly Mom
I'd like your thoughts on bringing my mom from Chicago to Denver in our small Class C. She is 94 and in assisted living. Recovering from a broken leg, the cast is off, but her mobility is still limite...

Of all Mom's choices for transportation she wanted to go in the RV. The trip was great. We camped one night and she did ask if it was secure, (she has never been camping) but slept pretty well. She was able to use a stationary walker to get to the toilet and I had a handicapped chair around it so she did fine. We stopped for meals and to use the facilities, and at dark for one night, but we pretty much drove straight through all 990 miles. She was pretty exhausted when we got home tonight though. Otherwise it was a very successful trip. She was comfortable on the couch although she was in pain the first day from a procedure done on her leg, she was still interested in the scenes going by outside.
Mom really thought she was destined to spend the rest of her life rather secluded in a small facility and now she has a new home in a larger one and close to her great grandkids too. I'm hoping she loves it.
If an elder has Alzheimers they are apt to be afraid and act out on such a trip but Mom is just a bit forgetful and is always happy to make progress such as walking with the walker to the bathroom. So it was a good fit for her. Just thought I'd let everyone know it went well.
Thanks for the good wishes and prayers.
