5 Awesome & Accessible Rigs On Outdoorsy

As a writer for Outdoorsy, I love writing about road trips and experiencing the great outdoors. As an occupational therapist, a topic I love even more is accessibility in the outdoors.

Accessibility is pretty simple. It means access for everyone. Access to places and transportation despite any physical limitations. This could refer to someone who uses a wheelchair, walker, or other device for mobility.

With that topic in mind, let us present a list of the most awesome and accessible rigs ready for rent on Outdoorsy. 

How do you find an accessible rig for rent on Outdoorsy?

Before diving into some specific accessible rigs on Outdoorsy, let’s review how to find an accessible rig. It’s key that you have a good knowledge and understanding of what type of accessibility needs will be required for your trip.

Will a ramp be needed, or perhaps a large step? Will grab bars and a shower bench be required in the shower? For those who use a wheelchair for mobility, what are the dimensions of the chair compared to the dimensions of pathways in the RV. Ultimately, we recommended contacting the owner about your specific needs and requests to make sure that specific rig can accommodate and be a good fit.

Here is how to start your search

Step 1: Search a specific location

Step 2: Shift your attention to the filters.

Step 3: Click on “Amenities”

Step 4: Click on “Handicap Accessible”

This is the best way to start your accessibility RV search. Note that more detailed research and communication with the RV owner may be required to make sure the RV is an appropriate fit for your needs.

Now lets get to showcasing some of the coolest, handicap-friendly, ready-to-rent rigs on Outdoorsy!

Denver, Colorado

This rig is a unique, custom-made camper. This is ideal for someone with accessibility needs as it has a ramp to the entrance. There are also grab bars and a hand held shower head located in the shower.

For travelers looking for a more extravagant rig with more amenities, the one below can’t be beat. This rig is a class A RV with a wheelchair mechanical lift. There is also a fully equipped accessible bathroom, with foldable shower bench, as well as grab bars that surround the shower and the toilet.

Napa, California

This rig, another accessible option, is located in northern California. This is a spacious trailer with access through stairs, but more importantly a ramp. Who wouldn’t want to go for a wine tasting in this rig!

San Antonio, Texas

This cool travel trailer is located in San Antonio, Texas. The ramp makes the rig accessible, yet it’s also one of the smallest, most lightweight rigs on the results page.

Syracuse, New York

The last accessible rig does not have a ramp or a lift—however, it does have a set of very wide steps. This makes the entrance accessible for travelers with crutches or a walker. A wheelchair could also be bumped up or bumped down with assistance of one or two people to transfer in and out. Not to mention it’s a beautiful airstream!
