Travel Lift Chair use

We have just posted a video of our 94 yr old mom entering and exiting our motorhome using the Travel Lift Chair I recently installed with the help of a friend. I am a bit awkward doing it myself, the DW was taking the video and it will work smoother when she is inside to better guide mom. I could have operated it from the inside but wanted to be outside to double check clearances, etc.

Anyone that has interest in such a product can watch and see how it works for a senior citizen with another senior citizen operating it.

Just type in the name Travel Lift Chair and it and a few others will pop up.

    Mom acted like she wasn't real sure about this...
    She made it. Great, that you made this possible for her!

    Pretty neat, and very nice of you to make those accommodations for your mom. Dutch_12078, thanks for the direct links. :)

    I do have one question. Is there a seat belt on the seat? Your mom might feel a bit more comfortable and confident if she was belted in. I know it doesn't look high, but things like that can be a bit unnerving and having a belt to help secure one's butt in the seat can make one feel more secure.

    Happy & Safe travels for all!

    Actually there is a belt you can put on, for the photo shoot we just didn't use it. We talked about it later and will use it in the future. She will also feel much better when her daughter is inside to guide her in while I operate it from the outside.
