Handicap Accessible Camper Rental

[MsHershey]

I know this is a long shot but I figured if anyone knew this fabulous community would. My husband is a bilateral amputee. We are planning a trip for 2024 with our DD, SIL, and grandson. DD and SIL is renting a camper. At this time we plan to book a handicap accessible cabin. However, I would rather rent a camper for the cost savings. So my question is does anyone know of any handicap accessible camper rentals that would deliver and set up in Fort Wilderness? I tell you, finding handicap accessible accommodations outside of hotels is a huge struggle. This is a market that is definitely underserved.

I appreciate any feedback.

I would strongly suggest you stick with the cabin which will have a ramp and a H/A bathroom. Your accommodations will make a huge difference in your/his comfort after a long day.

We had a class C and also a camper years ago. I now have a knee replacement and vision issues and walk with a cane and use an ECV at the parks. Campers have narrow hallways, tiny bathrooms and typically a bed that is squeezed in between two walls. There is no way I could use either of our RV's now mostly due to the steps and bed accessibility.

Hopefully your family will have a golf cart rental you can share as the property is huge and it will enhance your stay. Enjoy!

I agree a cabin will be a better fit .

Yep, go with the cabin. Handicap Accessible RVs usually have to be custom made. There are a few Class A's that are now making a few accessible but they are few and far between and not rentable. The ones you rent at the Fort are usually travel trailers. We have a fifth wheel and both my MIL and FIL are unable to get into it. They are both able to walk but the steps are very steep, the grab rail is not long enough. No way a wheel chair would get into the bathroom.

A good friend is a paraplegic, they had a Class-A that was ADA modified with lift and all the bells and whistles. You won't find anything like that in a rental fleet IMHO, they are far to expensive and require way to much of a learning curve to operate. When they sold theirs after 3 years, they got more then they paid for it due to the backlog for construction. I know several others that have considered a Toy Hauler to use the ramp, but the angle of the ramp was to much for electric wheelchairs and a challenge for those in manual wheel chairs, plus as noted unless specficially designed the insides are insides are to narrow. As mentioned I'd stay with the Cabin, I'd trust Disney more then any RV rental for ADA accessibility.

I think you may find that the cabin may be less expensive or at least the same as renting an camper, after paying the nightly rental rate and the campsite nightly rate, which can be a lot, depending on the season. But I agree with everyone else that a cabin would be better, I don't think you will find sufficient rental camper options available.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. We will go the cabin route and also rent a golf cart. Thanks again.
