I understand your concerns. In general, the market for wheelchair accessible RV is small enough that most customize an existing RV instead by adding wheelchair lifts and modify existing hardware and entry and showers and such.

Here's a link to more links that may help.

I went to drop my step-son's off at their bio-mom's apartment for visitation. She had just upgraded to a 2 bedroom because her & BF moved in together. I get there and I'm like "Why are the counters & cabinets so low?" Wide hallway/bathroom, and other accessories in shower/tub. She tells me that the apartment complex gave her a good deal on the unit because it had been vacant so long. After I left I thought - good that she got a good deal ($200 less than other units) on rent but then it got me thinking, what if a tenant with the need for the accommodation applies? This unit will be unavailable because the apartment complex rented to non-PWD's (who have absolutely NO need for the accommodations). Then it got me thinking - Did this apartment complex break the law? I can see if they were PWD and no units available but that's not the case.

To all the knowledgeable people - Did this complex break the law by renting to non-PWD?

I will ask Renting & Real Estate folks if they know. I will post the link to this question for your knowledge. Thanks!
I have no idea when it comes to apartment housing. I don't know if in order for them to be a housing complex that they actually have to rent these accomodating units to persons with a need. This is something I am interested in knowing. Apparently there must be laws as this complex does have dedicated units. But do the laws require the tennants be disabled?
Here's the question & answers from the renting & real estate category. Take a looky at what landlords have to say. Hope I can get a good answer!

Jd: I like your thinking! I bet they never listed it at all an jumped on the band wagon that she had a need for a 2 bedroom and they had a need to fill this particular unit. Would they have listed the unit as a handicap accessible unit at a discount, probablu a person with needs might have aquired. Great answer and well said. Thanks!
Jd: Thumbs up for to him please!
This makes me think about the whole handicap bathroom stall thing. Sorry... I'm still on this... SO it's OK to rent a dedicated PWD apartment unit for 12 or more months to a non-PWD but not okay for someone to use the handicap stalls for 90 seconds - 3 minutes. Wow where is the prospective?
IDK what type of funding but I do know this complex has broken their own law regarding felon tenants. They allowed a know felon to live in a unit when they advertise that the complex is felon free & no felons allowed on premisis. So I figured that by renting to a non-PWD they might have broken this law too. If they are indeed getting a tax credit by offering these accomodations then shouldn't they be reserved for one with needs? It really makes no sense to make a unit accomodating to just rent it to anyone. JD makes a good point that if a person with needs would have acquired they probably wouldn't have been offered the discount. What I am going to check into is if it is a law that if you have an apartment housing you must have dedicated unit/units. I think in a rental home situation if a tenant becomes disabled the landlord by law has to make changes. Just curious to know.

It depends on the nature of the housing.

Some housing (because of the way it is funded) must keep separate lists for different types of units. They may have a senior list, a disability list, and family with 4 or more children list - and specific units get filled from specific lists, if there is no one on a list - they can fill it from another list.

Some housing must have accessible units and fill it ONLY with people who fulfill certain requirements. It may need to stay vacant forever in theory. But I know of no where where there is not a waiting list for accessible housing. In my city, the city low income HUD housing accessible units can ONLY be filled with people with disabilities.

Laws refer to the access of the common areas and a percentage of the rental units and do not address who the units are actually rented to. It is the funding resource that addresses who rents the units.

My sister has MS and has recently been approved for a motorized wheelchair, but doesn't have it yet. She can't walk very far, so even a ramp is a problem if it's longer than a few yards. She would need fully accessible facilities for the bathroom and shower. Would she be able to come into the Aquatic Center?

Going to visit Tyler, to see the sights. Would like recommendations of a nice hotel that has wheelchair accessible rooms and shower (roll-in best) and full breakfast in the mornings.

I was there for 3 weeks once and stayed at the Hampton Inn it was nice.
