Re: Question From a Really Big Guy Maybe You Can Answer
ty for all the responses, I like that RV step stabilizer you linked, I could see easily putting a couple of those in place. Also, I might have to go with the handicapped model as they have wider doors already in place. Not much difference between those and normal ones anyway, they just have the wider door, lots of handholds in the bathroom and stuff to help a person get up from things like the low sitting toilet. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and go down to a dealer and try to walk through a few. I'll bring a small wood step with me, lol319Views0likes0CommentsQuestion From a Really Big Guy Maybe You Can Answer
First, let me say hello and thank you for deciding to read my question. I am 40 years old and have never owned an RV or Motorhome but my wife and I want to purchase one in the next 12 months. I have a few reservations because of my size however. My wife is normal but I'm 449 pounds. I know I can find an RV with a larger bathroom, I've looked at some photos of some used ones with bigger walk in showers and toilets that were not squeezed in a corner. My real concern is if I purchase a 5th wheel model and the fold out steps. I have never actually walked into an RV before but I'm worried about the fold out steps weight capacity and their ability to hold me as I walk up them. I was too embarrassed to call and talk to someone at a dealership, but I felt like online here I could be a bit more anonymous. Do they make a heavy duty set of steps or how sturdy are the normal ones that come on an RV? I recently found out they make Handicapped model RV's with larger entrance doors and even wheelchair lifts. I have considered one of these models as they have a wider walkway throughout and usually bigger bathrooms standard. I don't want to have to go that route unless I have to though. Any info is appreciated.6.3KViews0likes29Comments
