- Its not easy to camp in a wheelchair. I am fortunate that I have a wheelchair friendly trailer with a great layout. Beds in trailers are not the most accessible. I can't get on either side of the bed in my trailer and so I have to make it work be getting on the end and sliding myself to where I need to sleep.

i just love how you don’t give up. i know someone who got into a car accident when he was in high school and he got paralyzed so he has to be in a wheelchair. he is so kind and i love his wife. he literally acts like he has a perfect life and i don’t understand how people like this can do it!
Well the alternative is to be miserable and being in a wheelchair and being miserable would be pretty awful so I think we opt for positivity most of the time!
You say that the most annoying part is having to grab and slide all your nighttime supplies as you scootch your way up the bed. What amazes me is that you always seem to manage to avoid hitting your head into that cupboard (hanging locker?) above and beside your right side. I'd always smack my head into it everytime! And you are so flexible and coordinated!
Very good realistic video ... Thanks !! 👍👍👍
You're welcome!
Those blue pads are sure a useful item!
If I need to use a wheelchair later in life, I know that many things are possible to do, thanks to you and other youtubers. 💪
Well done young lady.
Where are you from? Where do you plan to travel in your van?
@@EmpoweredPara We're in Bakersfield, California. Where it is seriously 113° today. Ugh. So the wife is definitely wanting to go somewhere cool and green.
This video just popped up across my news feed. It looks like a really nice comfortable trailer. And at least if you start throwing a temper tantrum and decide to start throwing yourself in the floor. You don't have very far to fall. And you have a soft place to land.
Lol. True!
I’ve always understood the absorbency benefit of a Blue Pad but I never thought about how the underside of them would make moving around so much easier. That’s great! When you put one on the seat of your wheelchair, does that make it harder to stay put in your chair?
Hi n I luv how u made things work 4 u from Braun uvl lift, bathroom/shower use n how 2 transfer to n from bed. Would having a small bar be put in ur bathroom help u with transferring better? Also do u do strength training for ur arms n have massages/exercises for ur legs? Can u also do video on how u cook in the trailer? thks rox
I do strength training most of the time but I haven't in about a month. I should get massages but I don't lol. I do stretches every morning for my legs. I can totally do a cooking video in my trailer!
@@EmpoweredPara Just curious, how much control or feeling do you have in your lower body? Awesome job
@@downwardspiral4297 zero control or feeling
@@EmpoweredPara Interesting. Do you prefer being barefoot because your shoes give you issues at times?
@@downwardspiral4297 I am only barefoot in the morning at at bedtime!
Hello I have a 21year old handicap girl and we love camping so could you please send me information about the wheelchair lift for getting her in and out of the camper. That would be awesome for her. Thanks Nick
It's called a Braun Under Vehicle Lift or UVL for short!
