Winnebago Builds a More Accessible RV to Help Everyone Get Away

For those living with a disability, one of the many privileges that can be diminished is the privilege of spontaneity.

Whether it’s jumping in the car to go for ice cream or jumping in the car to go to the beach for a week, moments of inspiration can be complicated by the addition of a wheelchair. Or by chronic pain that must be managed with medication. By dietary considerations most people don’t have.

“We took lots family car trips before our younger son needed a wheelchair, back in the first seven glorious years of his life,” said D’Agostino in his story. “He and his older brother would climb in the back seat of our blue station wagon, and they were always good passengers – sharing Goldfish, no one fighting about who was touching whose side of the seat.”

Now that his younger son is on wheels and requires medications injected through a tube into his belly, the idea of a spontaneous weekend road trip someplace, while not impossible, often seems that way, D’Agostino added.
