What it is

If you need a wheelchair, an RV is one of the few travel options that gives real independence: your own toilet, your own bed, no assistance staff, and the freedom to go wherever a vehicle can reach.

Why people choose it

Plan around width, not overall length. Roll-in showers and ramps need interior width, so most accessible coaches are 2.5 m wide or more. Check bridge limits and campsite dimensions before you book.

What to check before you buy

In many countries, driving with a medical condition or a disability requires extra certification. Check with the licensing authority in your country before you finalise the plan.
