Wheel Chair transport.

Tabbieannecamper

We have a 2015 T@B 320 that we love to camp in and is in like new condition. We recently came to need a wheel chair for my wife to use. Our TV is a 2016 Toyota 4 Runner. I would like to know if anyone has developed a way to carry a folding wheel chair. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.

Does your enquiry include a ramp into and out of the T@B - or just an efficient way to store the wheelchair in your tow vehicle?

Thanks for asking Tabaz, I was inquiring to see if anyone has figured out a mount on a TV with their T@B connected?

What is the weight?  Have you considered moving the tongue box forward and having a mount fabricated to rest on the frame?

A few photos of it folded with dimensions might give others some ideas for you to consider.  Perhaps it could fit in a particular model of bike rack mounted to the front frame?

@Tabbieannecamper are you able to lift the folded chair into your T@B for transport?

One thing to consider is whether or not a smaller “transport” chair is a viable option. We had one for my husband during the latter portion of his terminal illness, and it was hugely helpful in part because its lighter weight and smaller size meant it easily fit into just about any car. I have physical limitations of my own and was still able to lift it into and out of an SUV. Once my husband passed on, it went to a family who needed it as a second chair, precisely because outings with the regular chair were too difficult.

The disadvantage of a transport chair is that it’s designed only to be pushed, and not propelled by the user’s arms. They have four small wheels, no big ones. Many people find they can still propel themselves by “walking” their feet, but that obviously depends on their condition.
