I do not see where you live? We are in Ohio. I would submit you find a club. FMCA has nice clubs all over USA. The folks there will be very accommodating as will most RVers except the drunks and those thinking they own the camp areas.
Find tools that give you leverage and you'll get familiar with power drills for screws very soon. My back and knees are gone I take my time and hookup sewer line, it is the most difficult. Both my rotator cuffs are blown out and lifting is difficult, nothing over my head.
We own a Class A and have none of the leveling from the outside some RVers must contend with. Our tow car is a pain in my body to hook and unhook. I now have a small garden roll around chair I use. So long as I do not have to bend over I am good to go. If it hurts I stop for a while. If detractors complain I tell them to do my work under my supervision and as soon as possible i will get out of the way.

Ops/Mod if this is not appropriate then feel free to merge or delete if you think it better and I can repost under a single topic.
This question is being asked because of my bout with arthritis (family inheritance). While I'm not disabled, I have lost some of my physical mobility due to having 2 hip replacements and pain and loss of strength in my hands and legs. Heavy lifting (100 lbs perhaps, one time) or lighter weights repeatedly would not be possible. Since I will be on my own, could this pose a hazard if there were no assistance around?
Search did not return anything using the key words I could think of.
