Disability friendly (or accessible) caravans are holiday (or even permanent) static caravans or lodges specifically modified to accommodate people with disabilities, particularly those who use wheelchairs or have limited mobility.
The key features of an accessible caravan often include ramped access, wider doorways, spacious interiors with sliding doors, lowered counters and sinks, and wet rooms with grab rails and shower seats. Some accessible caravans also offer specialised features like bed hoists or trapeze bars for assistance, and close, convenient parking.
