RVer Carries Motorized Scooter Wherever He Goes
He does everything with it including set-up and take-down of his Country Coach motorhome. He tows a truck behind his motorhome and behind his truck is a lift for his scooter.
This lift is made by Bruno and fits into the receiver hitch on his pickup.
It swings out of the way so the tail gate comes down for access to the truck bed.
An electric motor lowers the floor frame to the ground so Ed can drive his scooter onto the platform. The lift floor frame is adjustable to accommodate several sizes of scooter. Ed likes the grooves because they catch and hold the tires.
Once the scooter is on the lift Ed uses the electric controls to lift it off the ground. A mechanical arm moves down and secures the scooter onto the lift as it moves up into the stored position. No other tie-downs are required.
Wherever the RV road takes this former Air Force pilot he always has his motorized scooter. The lift folds up when not in use.
In the video below Ed demonstrates how his lift operates. Ed and Jean Grabman are wonderful people and I am proud of Ed for RVing despite his disability. He is an inspiration for the rest of us. Jim Twamley, Professor of RVingLabels: Disability Tools

There are many more of us out there traveling in RV's-go to handicapped travel club web site. We pull a full sized Ford van with a wheel chair lift behind our diesel pusher.
