Knees are Going, Need a Lift

Wife and I want a new TC but the climb in is getting difficult. Looking for ideas on mechanical lift to aid mobility. Have seen these on Class As (mobile-lift.com) and this as a hitch lift for pickups (pbhitchlift.com). Anyone have experience with adapting to use with a TC? Anyone "invented" their own assistance system? Thanks for the advise.

    Sometimes, Someday, what we want and what we can use easily differ. My backpacking days were great! But they are gone. Buy a TT.

    For rear door camper, maybe something like this receiver lift?

    For a side door camper, maybe a ramp and rail that folds over the outside of the door?

    Think about bed height too. You may want go for a large camper where the floor is above the bed rails making access to the cab over bed easier.
