Last summer I blogged about our friends Penny and Tim driving up to Maine from Alabama so they could join us in eating lobster. Denny and I met Tim and Penny when we workamped together back in 2004 but they had to give up the lifestyle when Penny developed a problem with balance and had to start using an electric scooter to get around.
Traveling in their van kind of got the travel bug activated in their systems so I started looking online for some sort of wheelchair lift or modification that would allow Penny to enter a travel trailer easily while on her scooter. I located a video on YouTube that a gentleman had posted of a lift he and a friend had created and got in touch with him to see if he could make a lift for my friends' travel trailer. He said yes, I gave his information to Penny and as a result our friends are now working for the summer at a campground in North Carolina and loving being RVers once again.
The bad news is that they immediately got a job after having the lift installed instead of meeting us out on the road somewhere for some serious celebrating but hey...it'll happen. ;)
Without further ado--Penny's "lift to freedom".
What a wonderful idea. So glad it works for her.
