Title: Im thinking I should hire some Rednecks in Ca
Post by: happycamperbrat on July 19, 2010, 11:24:14 AM
With my son now being in a wheelchair, the health of my mom, my daughter's disability and who knows what the future holds for me........... I really NEED the wheelchair lift. But I got issues with placement of tanks, batteries, awning, etc. sooooo I am bound and determined to move that wheelchair lift to the 3rd member and keep it functioning. Additionally the large columns should be redisigned so that the hydrolics are either below floor or in a box attached to the wall. The switches to make it work should be both in the coach and outside the door in a locked insert. The system has to be redisigned to operate with the coach engine on or off. In planning my floor design, I am going to have to do this before I can do the conversion. This is waaayyyyy above my knowledge and I would have to learn some new talents (which I dont mind if I can learn them right away).

PM me with names, numbers and prices. Thank you!

We've given that idea a lot of thought too as my legs start to give out, so far the best solution came from some of our trusted friends here on the board, they suggested a catapult for me lol.

Where in CA are you?

Don't put your exterior controls in a locked box, use a keyswitch to enable the system each time you are going to use it, and use flush-mounted weatherproof switches.

If I were you, I would look for another coach -- there may be none available with a lift, but you never know what's out there.  You may be able to buy a kneeling coach or one with a lift already installed for what doing a retrofit lift would cost.
