Caravanning holidays are a very British thing. Perhaps you have fond memories of when you were young, spending a week of your summer holidays on the coast at your favourite caravan park. Or, perhaps you are a family who has always loved outdoor fun and owns their own caravan. One thing that can be said about caravans however is that they are not designed for mobility-impaired people in mind, the thought of getting up and down putting you off using your caravan again. This is why you should invest in caravan steps for disabled access. There are dozens of varieties available, as well as adaptable ramps for wheelchair users.
Caravan Steps for Disabled : Static Caravans
If you own a static caravan, then investing in some caravan steps for disabled used will allow you to continue to enjoy your family breaks away in the sun. Steps can be purchased with handrails, and with shallow steps that are perfect for those with limited movement in their legs. Getting old doesn’t mean having to put a stop to enjoying your caravanning holidays. Caravan steps can be permanent or temporary. This means that you can even enjoy a caravanning holiday when you don’t own your own static caravan.
When holidaying, check with the campsite you will be visiting to see what facilities they offer for disabled users. Some will have adapted bathrooms, and tarmacked areas that are easy for wheelchair use. In other cases, you may choose to invest in a power step that will gently raise you to the level of the caravan door.
Ramps for Caravans
As well as caravan steps for disabled use, you may like to invest in a wheelchair ramp that can be used with your caravan. If you choose a modular design, one ramp can be adapted to various situations. The same ramp you use at home can be used for your caravan, ensuring at all times that you set the gradient of your ramp correctly.
Static caravans and holidays are set high off the ground for a reason. The majority of camping sites with static caravans are by the sea. They need to be raised above ground level for flood prevention. What this means however is that getting in and out of your caravan can be a challenge. If you are in a wheelchair, then a ramp is a perfect solution. Once again, these can be permanent or temporary. If you own your caravan, a carefully built ramp from your local provider will allow you the freedom you need to keep on enjoying your caravanning holidays.
If you love to travel around different sites in the UK, a foldable ramp can be the perfect investment. Even if the campsites you visit are wheelchair friendly, you can keep your ramp in the back of your vehicle for trips out to places where wheelchair access is more limited. Never allow your reduced mobility to stop you enjoying caravanning holidays. There are solutions for all sizes of caravans, both trailers and statics that will fit your needs.
