Hello, I too have a prosthetic BKA situation. With adaptions it works out well, a helpful spouse is mandatory!! :)
To navigate inside the RV I use one of those 5 wheeled mechanics stools. It is slim enough to get thru bathroom door and stay out of the way in the cabin. It makes a level camp site even more important less your scooter drifts away when parked.
Good Luck, it will be fine!!

hello again friends:
dw appreciated all your comments as i read them to her in the hospital.
Her 2nd surgery was longer. 2 1/2 hrs compared to intial 1 hr. surgery. Still has staples and stiches to be removed sometime. Yes she fell once in her room, but luckily just sat down and no injuries.
May all your travels be safe friends, and dw says listen to your body if the md wont and seek further help.
