Difficult but serious question

A close friend of mine is a recent widower after 38 years together with the last 18 years being home bound care taking. It has been a long and difficult journey. Today he said that he would love to go on a camping trip with us as it has long been his dream. We would love to share this experience with him. However, he is nearly 400 pounds. My first concern is his safety, my second concern is his comfort. My third concern is if he can actually fit through the doors, manipulate his way in the tight spaces, sit at the dinette, use the bathroom... I have a 25 ft TT. How can we make this work? Any suggestions? Is there anything I need to be aware of? We're really good friends and can address the necessary issues but I want to be sure to treat him with the caring, dignity, and respect he deserves. Thanks in advance for your help!
  • Caravan together.
    You in your RV and him in a rented RV.
    IF he doesn't drive then one of you drive it for him

    That way HE can have his privacy and not be embarrassed taking care of his personal/private needs

    At his weight/size he would have better results using CG bathroom/shower facilities.
    Dressing/sleeping in his own RV would be more practical also.
