Yes, we do offer ADA-accessible vehicles to rent! We understand that accessibility is key to a comfortable and enjoyable RV adventure. That's why many RVs on Outdoorsy are listed as "ADA-accessible", meaning they include features and accommodations designed to help Guests with physical disabilities travel with comfort and ease.
Features that Make an RV Accessible
ADA is an acronym for the Americans with Disabilities Act. "ADA-accessible" RVs may include a variety of features to enhance ease-of-use. When searching, you might find vehicles with:
Wheelchair Accessibility:
- Wider Pathways and Doorways: Designed to accommodate the width of a wheelchair for easier maneuvering.
- Ramp or Lift: Some RVs have specialized wheelchair lifts, while trailers like Toy Haulers may use a rear loading ramp for access.
- Open Floorplan: An open layout, often with "pop-outs" (slide-outs), can make turning a wheelchair easier.
- Tie-down Securement: Dedicated points to safely secure a wheelchair during transit.
Mobility Aids:
- Grab Bars: Located in important areas (like the bathroom) for stability and assistance.
Accessible Bathroom:
- Roll-in Shower: A shower designed for easy access.
- Roll-under Accessible Sink: Allows a Guest in a wheelchair to roll directly under the counter or vanity for closer access to the sink.
Seated-Position Access:
- Accessible Cabinets and Storage: Designed to be reachable from a seated position.
- Accessible Kitchen Appliances: Positioned for use while seated.
Other Comforts:
- Vehicle height adjustment, adjustable headrests, and extendable dinettes.
