    If you drive still, what is some of the equipment you have in your car? Do you use hand controls? Do you have an accessible van?

    If you dont drive, what kind of vehicle do you use to transport? What are some problems you have when getting in/out of the car?

    Made a mount that goes into the hitch of our van that allows the upper part of a Hoyer lift to fit into. When we go camping I use it to get my wife to the bathroom and into a large air mattress that we back the van into a 10 foot square pop up canopy that I put walls all around. I used to lift her but I managed to get a hernia so I had to get creative. She loves camping .
