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 go.

Why people choose it

Plan around width, not 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 booking the trip.

What to check before you buy

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