Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles

Yes.. Many disabled individuals are not getting assistance as to the kind the public believes they are. Social Security disability is based on many factors. I have received checks from , but have ended up twice to repay all that i received.. Yet, during this time received , my husband was unemployed. SS is figured on dollar for dollar of unemployment of spouse received, lessens the payment/ deducts your disability paid. It needs to be factored on that YOU can not work, and YOU are the one, not spouse deserving, and not HOUSEHOLD income earned.. Especially when it takes 2 to 4 incomes now days to just make the basics of life to live. Costs for housing and such are so high. When you don't have medical coverage, or can't afford and end up going into bankruptcy too, then government agencies tell you "we'll help, don't worry " and you have to have a bankruptcy to repay, or lose what little you already have left, there is major something wrong with the whole system.. Vehicles cost money. those that manufacture shouldn't lose out on , they too are in need of earning a life. But, it would be nice if the government would pass a deduction to them, that would be to the consumer.
Try living at home, and never being able to afford to go out anywhere.. thats not living.. In one change of one day, you could find yourself injured and disabled, and in the same situation.. think on...

since 1986. Having been a supplier of standard Ex-Motability cars for over six years, we noticed that adapted wheelchair cars were selling at very ...

i have a power chair i am able to walk inside the vehicle if i have walls to hang on to or bars in the roof to hold on to and are there rentals of recreational vehicles already adapted for wheelchair users i am just wanting to travel but cerebal palsey makes it difficult to use small spaces and not hurt myself in the process including the fact all the r.v. i have seen have a bathroom i cannot use nore do they have a shower i can use the bed is no big deal but getting clothes on me is going to be more harded in tight spaces if anyone has experience in this and know of a way to get an r.v. adapted i would be so thankfull thanks everyone

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 need to buy my stepson a vehicle in Oklahoma to drive and he's in a wheelchair. I'm wondering if the state of OK provides any grants or assistance in purchasing this type of vehicle?

Probably not, but some of the car makers do. Any local place that sells handicap accessible vans can help with this.
