We met a couple that travelled with their son who spent most of his time in a hospital bed. They had purchased a used Greyhound bus that already had a full size lift on it, and converted it to a motorhome for themselves.

As suggested above, a smaller bumper pull toyhauler might be your best bet to modify to your needs.

I modified a Burr Handy lift to access the trailer, but sometimes I just pick her up and carry her in to the couch.
