When we were disposing of our wheelchair lifts, they were still attached to the vehicle. In other words, we never transfered the lifts between vans; they require too much maintenance when you try to transfer them.
We'd suggest you check for funding with aid agencies like Vocational Rehabilitation, but a Class A motor home is considered by most agencies to be a luxury recreational item, not a requirement for Activities of Daily Living (the normal standard for providing funding -- Medicare, etc.). But, they may know of vans or lifts being retired; so might the local mobility equipment dealers (Google NMEDA).
If you need more info, PM us. DW is both a retired Vocational Rehab supervisor, a full-time wheelchair user (post-polio quad), and a custom-built Class C owner (Born Free 26' with Ricon split-platform rear lift).
