Dick Mason's Motorhome Page



We have a 36 foot 2000 Foretravel U-270 motorhome of which we are very proud!
 
 

Of course nearly everything I buy has to be improved somehow.  Our Foretravel is no exception.

Below is a portion of the modifications I have made to our Foretravel.  Some of these modifications were made to assist my wife who is mobility limited, while others were convience changes. 
 

Accessibility Changes:

Betty had a severe case of Rheumatoid Arthritis and could walk only on a flat, smooth surface.  She could not climb steps at all.  She also could not reach above her shoulders. 

Sadly, Betty passed away in April, 2005.  The following couple of sections show many of the changes I made to assist her.  Several of these changes have since been removed, but many remain.

 

Handicap lift and ramp


 

Handles, Switches, and Refrigerator Latch

These project were done to improve the utility, safety, or pleasure of driving the coach.
