What disability?A disability need not prevent someone from enjoying the many pleasures caravanning can bring. In fact, for many, horizons have been broadened and their lives enriched thanks to a determination not be beaten.A disability need not hinder someone's enjoyment of touring and sightseeing, but rather to enhance the pleasure of the experience and to allow them to enjoy it more intensely. They also realise more clearly how limited their lives would be without the stimulus touring and travel provide.

Anything is possible
Caravans and wheelchairs at first glance appear an unlikely combination. However, with the right conversion it isn't impossible, as more and more disabled caravanners are proving. Most caravan manufacturers can supply modified versions of their models, often at no extra cost. |

Folding campers too can be modified to increases the door width and provides ramps to accommodate a wheelchair.
This can be done to special order at no extra cost for the conversion and a small charge for the ramps, providing the camper is made to order. | |
disabilityWORLD.com was established in 1999 by William and Don McQueen.
They have been working since then to setup a comprehensive directory of information and web sites for the disabled.
www.wheelgotravelling.infoWe found this excellent amateur website for the disabled, 'Pete and Wendy's information pages for the less able'.
Wendy is paraplegic and uses a wheelchair. Here you can find out a little more about ourselves and information about our travels and wheelchair access in the places they have visited.
