Wheelchair in an RV?
I've located some narrow wheelchairs on line that may work in my fifth wheel. Are any of you using one? Any advice appreciated.

Will you be able to climb the steps to get into your fifth wheel? If not the entry door may have to be widened because lifts need extra room even when used with narrow wheelchairs. This site has a lot of different types of lifts - http://www.startrackslifts.com/
Another option might be to buy a used RV that has been modified - http://www.disableddealer.com/item_search.asp?category=1020
We fulltime in a small class C that has been built to make it accessible for me(Karen). It has a Super Arm lift, a wider door, the dinette is cut down to half and the bathroom door and a wall section has been replaced with a folding door. With just those few alterations I have access to everything in the motorhome and room to spin in a complete circle at either end.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Actually. I'll have assistance getting in. I'm not driving yet so a friend will be able to help. Yes, it's a bit awkward but I'll still be getting therapy and hopefully will be more mobile soon.
