Disability Mods

I have arthritis in my knees and when I first got the MH my knees would throb after 1/2 hr ride. There is an extended point at which my knees feel better but my slide in back of the chair prevented that. So I sat in my car and measured the knee angle with a protractor and duplicated that angle in the MH by raising the seat up which helped immensely. I used a block of oak and longer grade 8 bolts to fasten the seat back down. I also used a 4 x 4 in block of oak to place my heel on just before the gas pedal further extending my knee in a more comfortable position. I can now drive about 3-4 hrs before the throbbing sets in. My second mod is that I always wear shorts so I can rub on Bio freeze or another arthritic rub before the pain gets too bad. My third trick which my wife hates is when I fully extend my leg and rest it on the doghouse for a few mins. I like the lower dog house of the WH chassis for that reason.

I can see this forum isn't very active but maybe because of the things we are all going through. You definitely sound great and with it. I sure hope you get all the mods done to suit you!! God Bless!!!

Must have missed your first posting. We aren't really disabled yet, just getting a lot older and unable to do a lot of what we used to consider normal. Sounds like you are doing a good job of coping, and we all wish you the best. Stay in touch and let us all know what other changes that will help us. We have so far raised the toilet with a riser.

There are others here.
