We are looking to start our nomads adventures in 2021, and I am a double below knee amputee. Main problem is showering, as I have to remove my prosthetics, and be seated. In our house, I use a specialist shower wheel chair, however I feel that would be too much of a hassle in a caravan........ Any thoughts, anyone?

Friend of ours, who is a single amputee above the knee, took the shower door off and put a curtain up. She has a chair in the shower with the hand held shower head.
Also she has what she calls a salon chair, small round seat with wheels on the legs which she can move up and down the van on.

Cheers Bob

I think a chair and hand shower would be the way to go, if you've been looking at vans, the bathrooms are tiny compared to those in a house, there'd be no room to move a chair if it would even fit in.
surgicalhouse.com.au/Product.php Maybe something like this? It says it's compact, and it's aluminium so it shouldn't be very heavy.
Otherwise, maybe an external "2-room" ensuite tent would be easier? You'd have the "changeroom" part to put your prosthetics and they seem quite roomy. Handheld and chair in the "shower" part.

Im afraid the current size of most shower units in caravans may be too small for you , however if you are in the position to order a new van and having the ensuite custom made to suit your needs that may be the solution. Im sure that many manufacturers would be able to help you . I admire your vision of wanting to travel our great country. Good luck to you.

Heartfelt thanks for the great input everyone. I'm very mobile on my prosthetics, so wheelchair access isn't a hassle. I've looked over a few floor plans and concur that a shower chair combined with handheld shower and good grabrails will do the job. So if in the future you see a 6 and a half foot ex Kiwi on peg legs, come on over and say hi.....and mine's a red.... Cheers David

My wife is a paraplegic and our van has been built for the wheelchair. It has a wider bathroom with a showerchair. PM me your email address and I can organise some photos and details.

Our van was built by Evolution in Epping Melbourne who specialize in accessible vans. Our van has now done 5 trip across the continent and back, one a complete lap and we have been very please with it.
