Well that opened up my eyes cuz I am disabled as well I also have two wheelchairs and have a CPAP and I have oxygen at night I really appreciate you showing me this and Thank you're parents for sharing this and all the things that they are dealing with when it comes to this!!!! Thank you Andrew and Shay I really appreciate this and appreciate all the information from this!!! I wish you all the best in health and your family enjoy your time together be safe happy healthy!!!!!!
John , do you have a motorhome ? If so what do you drive? Did you have a lot of Aftermarket stuff put in to make it work for you ? I hope you don't mind me asking. And have to heard if INSPIRE that replaces CPAP. It's great. There are TH-cam videos of it.
Dr.Don I've been wanting to get an RV but with my disability and then everything that comes with it and meds I'm more concerned and afraid of being out there and do it on my own because I need oxygen at night with my CPAP machine and I'm right handed strong I would need to have a RV design around me and my personal needs before my stroke I was driving hazmat and dealing with 100-200 lbs tanks and a limo driver and a tow truck driver driving is not my issue it's being on the road and having something happen I used be able to take care of things and deal with the things that I don't have use of my right hand and or arm and I want to go back on the road it's freedom from being in a room feeling stuck not being able to do do anything that why I love watching Andrew steel and finally get to see an RV that his parents are using I just noticed allot of things that are not good for me I want to be able to get around three sides of the bed and I really don't like the bathroom in there parents I know you can't have everything yes I know that in therapy I have gotten to learn to use the transfer poles near my bed and bathroom and then other tools for dressing I do have an oxygen machine so I wouldn't want the tanks they would not last very long and as much as I want to be outside and back on the road again busy with life I'm afraid of being out there just based on what you see on news and how things are going on outside of this place that I've been in for the last 3 years sure they give you a bed and you're meds and shots and then you have a shower every two days but because of policies and procedures of living in a nursing home they tell you things that scared my family and scared me over time I'm a big guy 336 lbs that if I fall I can't get back up the staff they use a machine so they can get me off the floor!!! I'm sorry Dr Don I didn't give you the answer you were looking for but if I had the money I would be at Newell coach and have them design me a Coach that I would love and I could use back of my size and issues with my health I would hire a nurse to come with me cuz I hate needles and I would not be able to do anything with being diabetic and then I would feel safer!! Of course I'm dreaming!!! But anyway that's that!!!!
Winnebago has a whole team devoted to adapting their motorhomes to people with special needs. If you have the finances I’m sure they could make something suitable for your needs.
This is great, I was told that there were no handicapped accessible in travel trailers, they told me to get a toyhauler, but it did not have enough oxygen energy to run for extended time, so now I am going to make a visit to a Class A.
Like everyone commenting here I really appreciate showing true life situations. With a family member in a chair I was super interested to how well the space and tie downs worked. Brought me to tears to see your mom going up the lift. May they have many gun trips !
Great review and inspirational as well. My mom wouldn't travel 2300 miles on a plane let alone a motorhome and she has zero health or physical issues. Hats off to your mom for not allowing anything to prevent her from enjoying life.
Hi Andrew, We went to the FMCA Rally in Tucson this year and in one of the Seminars a man had this Inspire -He had just bought it 4 months ago at the time -His wife was disabled-He was unhappy with the quality of the house portion of the motorhome-He wanted to know about lemon laws He wasn’t getting a good response on his issues with Winnebago-I hope your parents can get everything fixed -I liked seeing your dad -😃🚌🇺🇸
Glad to meet your dad and take the tour of their new Winnebago. Great video, really interested to hear how well the customer service does. Happy trails!
Thank you to your dad for the great tour. My husband and I full timed RV for 20+ years. The first RV that got us started was a used Itasca by Winnebago we love it but when we went full time got a. Rand new MRV (Midas Recreation Vehicles) but after a few years we decided still not quite right and hubby wanted a diesel soooo we got our pusher and kept that till he passed away and I sold it. Watching your videos Andrew always make think how much he would like some coach your showing. Thanks for sharing this
As someone in Occupational therapy, I commend your parents for not letting health issues stop them from living life. Having gone in many homes to assess for mobility, there are a few things that don't meet disability standards but this is pretty well done for an RV. Andrew you should be proud of your parents! You should find an RV with hand controls for the peddles. Many vehicles have been modified to allow people to live life! Thanks for the video, my therapy friends will love it when shared!
Seems like quite a few bugs should have been worked out before this motorhome went into production. Winnebago also should have flown a tech out to fix some of these problems your parents are having. Problems like this can cause a lot of anxiety for people who are disabled and need things to work properly. I would be very embarrassed if I was Winnebago’s CEO and saw this video. Hope they take care of your parents properly. It was nice of you to give Matt a shout out and gift your parents the mattress. I always like that you don’t hold back in your videos and give a real honest review.
It's great. I have question about the lift. Is these something that's a aftermarket or Winnebago had this in there design. Your dad is right there is a market for the Handicap that wants to experience the Motorhome dream traveling. These MH Corporations need to step up and put a few out there. Thank you Andrew and your dad for this. I had a friend who had never been in a RV and wanted to travel . And I was looking for away to have one installed. But there us no way for that to happen and use the shower or bathroom with a wheelchair in my 2003 Discovery 39S Freightliner Chassis. I love it.
I think I answered my own question. I was hung up on the lift when I ask my question. It's obvious this was a WINNEBAGO design. Because of the shower and able to move around in the coach in a wheelchair. Where as mine there is noway . Thanks
What a great video Andrew, I love how you didn't edit the flaws or the squeaky lift. That's a true and honest review. I hope Winnebago resolve the issues soon.
Andrew`s father have whatever it takes to review Coaches APPROVED. Andrew can you feature your father in one new coach to review it please❤️👌 we need your father TH-cam channel before end of the year Andrew
Thats a darn good looking coach, I remember meeting your Dad at the Barrett Jackson back in early 2020 just before Covid , he was showing me a new Mercedes Airstream and I started telling him and showing him this video about this guy that is going all over shooting these TH-cam videos on RV's...He looked at me and said "Thats my son"...small world, your Dad is a good man hope all is well with your Pops
Love this video, so fun to meet your Dad! I appreciate the transparency of the issues and hope that Winnebago will get them all taken care of VEry impressed with the measures taken to allow the disabled to enjoy RV'ing. So cool!
Your dad is a natural on TH-cam, should have his own blog!! Very informative for people with a disability. Never saw one of your videos where YOU talk so little LOL.
Wow Andrew you did it!...that’s an awesome video! Thanks for showing your parents beautiful coach and the accessibility features. Being in a wheelchair and an avid RV’r myself that means so much to me to see stuff like that...thanks again! 👊🙂
Wow great video! Your dad is super amazing! This opened my eyes to a lot of things and even inspired me! What a coach! Thanks for sharing I hope they get their slide in order pronto. Cheers Andrew!
Andrew, we love all of your videos! Thanks for taking the time to showcase this accessible coach! (Feel free to do more!) Thanks to your dad for being candid with some of the issues they have had with the coach. It is important for people to understand that is part of RVing. We agree with him that there are some issues with the layout and not being able to get a chair all the way to the back with the slides in. We have a 2001 Accessible Winnebago Journey and we absolutely love it! The advantage of only having slides on one side is the wheelchair user can actually turn around with the slides in. Ours has the same Braun commercial lift and he is right, they are bulletproof. I was surprised by the squeal his was making... our 20 year old lift is completely silent. Anyway, keep up the great work and we look forward to hearing the update about how Winnebago fixes that slide out! P.S. In your travels if you come across a 42+ foot pre-DEF DP with a wheelchair lift, let me know!
The only production coach filling the need and doing it with style at that! good job to Winnebago and your dad for the kind and honest review! also thank you Andrew for bringing the folks to the channel especially your dad he's a natural! Easy to see where your heart and sincerity comes from. He's living my dream of following the kids and grands across the county, without roughing it too much lol
Thank you sooooo much for sharing this video with all these handicap features. We built a handicap accessible house a few years ago then selling our motorhome. You have given me hope to be able to travel again. God bless you all.
Awww.... I sure hope Winnebago has responded to your father. That really is a beautiful rv. I remember when our Father bought an Indian Winnebago back in 70s. He was transferred from Wright Pat AFB to A base in so cal. Family of 5 traveled across the country. All the trips to Disneyland..in it slept 8. Great memories... good luck
I don’t know why in the world I keep watching your videos I’m 70 years old never owned a RV never going to but I really like your videos keep up the good work I’ll keep watching why I don’t know I just enjoy. I am also a subscriber👍🇺🇸🙌
Thanks Andrew for a snapshot of your family life, your Dad seems like a great guy and I'm sure your Mother is a wonderful woman! Nice rig, I enjoyed seeing how dedicated Winnebago is to this type of rig! I have probably seen 99% of your videos but maybe I missed it, why did you move to Florida? Just curious, I grew up in the Midwest and was always a Florida guy, Moved to Boulder City Nevada in 2000 and now in 2021 moved to Queen Creek AZ. Enjoy your time with your folks!
Hey Dad please to meet you you have a great son he teaches us and shows us a lot of good things I'm originally from Puerto Rico but I enjoy his content I can't afford a motorhome now but maybe someday but like my dad always said you dream about it it'll come true nice to meet you sir nice to see you and like I always say Andrew you the best at what you do bro thank you 🇺🇸🇵🇷☺️
what a great rig, my wife also has such needs, it's good to learn there are companies out there addressing such needs. Thanks for the video and GOOD JOB DAD
Hope your parents gets everything sorted out. And your dad was right about not using that slide. When in doubt, dont use. Im the same there.. Also, i like how dad is better at saying goodbye than you or anybody in your videos ever.. Not flustered, not stumbling, just bye and thats that.. Cheers! 😁. Hes better than all the sellers.
Your Dad is a very cool guy! Bless him for all the effort he puts forward to take care of his wife! Pretty confident he'll get the factory to take of the issues he's discovered on the coach. Wouldn't be very good publicity if they didn't!
Winnebago could learn something about mobility coaches from their acquisition Newmar. Plenty of space and maneuvering space in a Ventana or Dutch Star with the wheelchair lift
Thanks so much for letting the rest of the RV community know that YES indeed there are RV's out there that are handicap accessible! Really enjoyed your video and thanks to your family as well for giving us the knowledge as to how to deal with handicaps while RVing!
April 30th 2022 Wow THX! For the review of your New Winnebago Inspire Diesel pusher, I’ve watched so many of your TH-cam videos & have most certainly gain some knowledge from; your post! But Now I have to Thank your Dad for his informative information about Freightliner being own by Mercedes-Benz that I didn’t know & thanks to your dad I do…. Mercedes Benz name stands for durability….. & it’s comforting knowing freightliner chassis is own by Mercedes Benz……
Thank god for the ADA. I am 63 years and I remember my mother back in the 60’s having to buy two pairs of shoes with different sizes because of her handicap. My father worked at Dr. Scholls in Chicago and the discount helped. I remember one time after the ADA Laws were in place my mother was surprised that she was able to get a pair of shoes for one price instead of two. I told her that was because of The President GWB. Even though her Politics were different she was grateful. The sad thing about the automotive industry is they are not accommodating to disabilities unless you pay for it. Keep us informed on your Dad and Mom’s adventure with the RV. As always you are one of the best in promoting this industry and the RV reseller. Keep up the good work and as Siskel and Ebert would say you get two thumbs up 👍👍
Andrew and dad I want to tell you this was an inspiring video I didn’t even know these type of things existed what a wonderful coach and so glad you could take mom everywhere with you God bless all of you
So glad to see someone who is building rigs for those with disabilities. We made our own changes to my parents RV after my mom had a stroke. I think its important for those with unfortunate circumstances to be able to live as normal as possible and being able to travel and camp is huge! Thanks for sharing with us.
Well like the coach says inspire….. this was definitely an inspiring video! This was a real review in all senses… yes any new purchases no matter how much research you do to check those boxes sometimes have glitches. I hope soon that Winnebago will take care of the issues! Awesome to have your dad give a real review and nice to see you and Shay got them a new mattress… Hopefully it does the trick for them… as always keep up the great videos
Your Dad is a jem! Hopefully he can get someone to work on that slide. Thankyou for showing this coach, it's wonderful to know that people who have special needs are not forgotten & left behind!
Great video, especially with your dad! It's nice to get a "senior's" opinion on things that the younger crowd is not sensitive to. It's also nice that Winnebago is sensitive to designing an RV for folks with disabilities so that they can also enjoy the camping experience. I wonder if Winnebago is still using "bonded leather" in their units as they will start to peel in only a few years as I have experienced with my Forza. Most RVs in this price range are using that type of "leather". I hope Winnebago considers all of your Dad's comments!!!
Andrew and family; Thank you for sharing your parents RV! My wife and I are now 61 and I've been doing a bus RV conversion myself. In 2020 I had Covid; Praise God! I survived it; I was on oxygen for almost the rest of the year, I was still trying to work on it, or dream up ideas! LOL! I had concentrator in the bus. My wife has handicapped issues, and now waiting for a liver transplant. It's been 2-1/2 yrs now, we have to stay within an hour drive of the hospital. We are blessed to drive our "work in progress" project around CT. This is so inspiring to know they make stuff like this manufactured! Cool that they have provisions for CPAP storage & use in the bedroom, great bathrm. It's also so inspiring that this doesn't stop your mom & dad from doing their dreams, even with challenges. God bless! AL & Diane from CT.
What a wonderful family you have. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! We used to have a Winnebago and we loved it. Keep us posted about the issues and let us know how the solutions.
I have to say Winnebago has won my heart with this RV for the disabled. But my heart really got sold to that one RV you showed with the front kitchen and that chair lift for I'm not in a wheelchair yet. I wish I could have gotten my hands on that front kitchen.
Hi Andrew. This was a great and informative video. Lots to research for a disabled individual. I'm also interested in the mattress that sponsored your video. Looks awesome and I like the variety of sizes. Your father seems like a nice guy and I am glad they are able to enjoy the RV lifestyle. I am a little surprised that you didn't hook him up with a Newell from the Motorcoach Store!! Take care!
Andy, ❤😇💖 You are no doubt the skin of your daddy. 😁😇 Wow! Your dad have an affinity for fine motorcoaches (and motor engines). This really is an excellent tour of a beautiful motorhome equipped for the immobilized citizens. I watched this video a few times to find if there is something missing with no success. All points were covered thoroughly. Thank you for sharing this tour. Congratulations to your daddy for his purchase. Well done. P.S. Just becareful when handling devices that appears hard to access. Manuals comes in handy ( sometimes) 😆 🤣 😂 ❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖
Mold will develop on the bottom of the mattress if you don't put some type of moisture barrier between it and the plywood base. This will happen with any type of mattress when placing it on a plywood base. Not sure why my earlier comment was deleted regarding this...you would think people would want to be warned about this.
I know a man who has recently lost both legs, above the knees, who could use an RV like this. He used to be a vanlifer in Canada. I'd buy an RV like this for him in a gesture of international friendship. This would be perfect for him.
I have been saying for years the camping world is ignoring and missing out on a whole group of people…the disabled. And when the rv industry does come up with something wonderful like that wheelchair accessible RV it’s totally out of budget or comfort zone for the majority of us. How many people can really afford a wheelchair accessible dIesel pusher RV? Not me so I had to think outside the box. I and my adult daughter who is mentally and physically disabled and wheelchair dependent have been traveling around the USA for quite a few years visiting family and friends, camping and exploring our National Parks & Monuments. My daughter is totally dependent on me now for everything…dressing, feeding, bathing and pottying. I am also the motor for her wheelchair. For many years we tent camped but when she became dependent on her wheelchair it became more difficult not only tenting but just getting to the tent sites so we hung up our tent and limited the number of adventures we took every year and started staying in hotels. But it was expensive and tiresome for me to have to carry everything from the car into the hotel room and then back out every morning especially if we were only staying one night. I thought there had to be another way for us to continue to camp and travel. In 2018 on our way home from Mount Rushmore we were sitting in a rest stop in New Mexico and I watched a guy go to the back of a cargo trailer, pull the ramp down and go inside. Suddenly a lightbulb went off. I thought why couldn’t we do that? For over a year before this trip I had been searching for a camper. I joined multiple Facebook groups for small tiny campers. I knew I wanted something small that I would feel comfortable towing. It had to be in my budget $$ and under 2,000 lbs and without a lot of bells and whistle‘s. I looked at Casitas, A-frames, Lil Snoozy, rPod, Scamp, Airstream……. They either had the floor space but were too big and too heavy or they were the right size and weight but didn’t have the room that was needed for the wheelchair and her potty. I went to rv shows, rv dealers I emailed companies and said I don’t need the bathroom or the kitchen. We just need a safe place to sleep. I got the same answer, we can’t leave anything out. I am not a handywoman so buying a cargo container was out of the question. So after 6 more months of searching I found what I was looking for. In the Fall of 2019 we drove to Elkhart, Indiana and picked up our 14’ toyhauler/camper. It weighs in at 1500 pounds. Its dual axle, has a ramp on the back, two side windows, a side door, a place to sleep, lights, ac and a bit of countertop if the weather is bad we cannot cook outside. If we stay in a campground we can hook up to electrical. I did have a few modifications done, added 300 watts of solar so we can boondock and on one end of the bench/bed cut out an area to fit my daughters potty chair. It took some searching and thinking outside the box but it has exactly what we need to continue traveling and exploring. I hope that others with challenges in their life can find their own way of staying or getting out there exploring and enjoying life.
LOVE THIS!...and your heart to live while we're living!!!....soooo many forget simplicity is key! Great story, great momma! Blessings on yalls travels! Been on road almost 7 wks, longest ever...been amazing!
I had to take mine back to the dealership after buying brand new and the technician told me that it’s up to the customer to find out what’s wrong with your coach that’s Their system
That’s Winnebago slap it together let the customer fix it, warranty is only part of it, lost camping time after spending 1/4 million on a coach is not acceptable
We had a 2 hour walk through on our Montana 5th wheel to BE SURE it all worked before completing the deal. Havent had any issues with our baby and she's almost 2! Cant say same re our last minute new thor class a [we were not as educated😏]!!...but WE gotta inspect ,or hire outside inspection before we know or see issues, yes, even with n e w... happy travels, campers🕊
I have a 2020 Winnebago took it three times to the factory in Forest City Iowa. Don’t screw around with techs or dealers. They were the nicest people. Each item was from sub companies that manufacture for Winnebago. Really had nothing to do with their assembly quality. Oh I am from Nevada, so worked out well. Vacationing and stopping for repairs.
Andrew, any chance that each "reading" light can be dimmed by holding the button down to cycle through different brighteness levels? If so, then the next time turned off then back on hopefully it remembers the previous dim setting and doesn't come on blindingly bright. So glad they are able to enjoy the road in this RV trying to focus on accessibility. Best, -Mark
Funny. My wife and I have different opinions on left and right for beds. She like your father determines the orientation lying in the bed. I say it’s standing at the Foot of the bed facing the headboard. In that instance the buttons are correct. It’s all about perception lol.
Great video and review on the Winnebago. Really pretty coach and paint job. Love the blues in the paint. What is the Corgi's name? We've had two Corgi's over the last 15 years and love the breed.
Maybe this was mentioned, didn’t read the comments but the light panel he doesn’t like over the bed appears to be upside down, rotate it 180 degrees and right will be right, left will be left.

John , do you have a motorhome ? If so what do you drive? Did you have a lot of Aftermarket stuff put in to make it work for you ? I hope you don't mind me asking. And have to heard if INSPIRE that replaces CPAP. It's great. There are TH-cam videos of it.
Dr.Don I've been wanting to get an RV but with my disability and then everything that comes with it and meds I'm more concerned and afraid of being out there and do it on my own because I need oxygen at night with my CPAP machine and I'm right handed strong I would need to have a RV design around me and my personal needs before my stroke I was driving hazmat and dealing with 100-200 lbs tanks and a limo driver and a tow truck driver driving is not my issue it's being on the road and having something happen I used be able to take care of things and deal with the things that I don't have use of my right hand and or arm and I want to go back on the road it's freedom from being in a room feeling stuck not being able to do do anything that why I love watching Andrew steel and finally get to see an RV that his parents are using I just noticed allot of things that are not good for me I want to be able to get around three sides of the bed and I really don't like the bathroom in there parents I know you can't have everything yes I know that in therapy I have gotten to learn to use the transfer poles near my bed and bathroom and then other tools for dressing I do have an oxygen machine so I wouldn't want the tanks they would not last very long and as much as I want to be outside and back on the road again busy with life I'm afraid of being out there just based on what you see on news and how things are going on outside of this place that I've been in for the last 3 years sure they give you a bed and you're meds and shots and then you have a shower every two days but because of policies and procedures of living in a nursing home they tell you things that scared my family and scared me over time I'm a big guy 336 lbs that if I fall I can't get back up the staff they use a machine so they can get me off the floor!!! I'm sorry Dr Don I didn't give you the answer you were looking for but if I had the money I would be at Newell coach and have them design me a Coach that I would love and I could use back of my size and issues with my health I would hire a nurse to come with me cuz I hate needles and I would not be able to do anything with being diabetic and then I would feel safer!! Of course I'm dreaming!!! But anyway that's that!!!!
Winnebago has a whole team devoted to adapting their motorhomes to people with special needs. If you have the finances I’m sure they could make something suitable for your needs.
Seriously, call their HQ to get in touch with their team.
Great to meet Mr. Steele. Mr. Steele you have a fine young man for a son.
This is great, I was told that there were no handicapped accessible in travel trailers, they told me to get a toyhauler, but it did not have enough oxygen energy to run for extended time, so now I am going to make a visit to a Class A.
Like everyone commenting here I really appreciate showing true life situations. With a family member in a chair I was super interested to how well the space and tie downs worked. Brought me to tears to see your mom going up the lift. May they have many gun trips !

It seems that the light switch above the bed is installed upside down. Hence the reversed buttons.
Seems like quite a few bugs should have been worked out before this motorhome went into production. Winnebago also should have flown a tech out to fix some of these problems your parents are having. Problems like this can cause a lot of anxiety for people who are disabled and need things to work properly. I would be very embarrassed if I was Winnebago’s CEO and saw this video.

All new RV's are like this, all of them.
Omg, you sound exactly like your Dad, I love it
My sister is in Wheelchair and this is a game Changer right here
It's great. I have question about the lift. Is these something that's a aftermarket or Winnebago had this in there design. Your dad is right there is a market for the Handicap that wants to experience the Motorhome dream traveling. These MH Corporations need to step up and put a few out there.
Thank you Andrew and your dad for this. I had a friend who had never been in a RV and wanted to travel . And I was looking for away to have one installed.

Awww.... I sure hope Winnebago has responded to your father.
That really is a beautiful rv. I remember when our Father bought an Indian Winnebago back in 70s. He was transferred from Wright Pat AFB to A base in so cal. Family of 5 traveled across the country. All the trips to Disneyland..in it slept 8. Great memories... good luck
Nice to see a handicap RV im a brain stem aneurysm and 8x strokes survivor. Watching from northern central West Virginia
I don’t know why in the world I keep watching your videos I’m 70 years old never owned a RV never going to but I really like your videos keep up the good work I’ll keep watching why I don’t know I just enjoy. I am also a subscriber👍🇺🇸🙌
Thanks Andrew for a snapshot of your family life, your Dad seems like a great guy and I'm sure your Mother is a wonderful woman! Nice rig, I enjoyed seeing how dedicated Winnebago is to this type of rig! I have probably seen 99% of your videos but maybe I missed it, why did you move to Florida? Just curious, I grew up in the Midwest and was always a Florida guy, Moved to Boulder City Nevada in 2000 and now in 2021 moved to Queen Creek AZ. Enjoy your time with your folks!
Hey Dad please to meet you you have a great son he teaches us and shows us a lot of good things I'm originally from Puerto Rico but I enjoy his content I can't afford a motorhome now but maybe someday but like my dad always said you dream about it it'll come true nice to meet you sir nice to see you and like I always say Andrew you the best at what you do bro thank you 🇺🇸🇵🇷☺️
what a great rig, my wife also has such needs, it's good to learn there are companies out there addressing such needs. Thanks for the video and GOOD JOB DAD
Hope your parents gets everything sorted out. And your dad was right about not using that slide. When in doubt, dont use. Im the same there..
Also, i like how dad is better at saying goodbye than you or anybody in your videos ever.. Not flustered, not stumbling, just bye and thats that.. Cheers! 😁. Hes better than all the sellers.
Your Dad is a very cool guy! Bless him for all the effort he puts forward to take care of his wife! Pretty confident he'll get the factory to take of the issues he's discovered on the coach.
Wouldn't be very good publicity if they didn't!
Winnebago could learn something about mobility coaches from their acquisition Newmar. Plenty of space and maneuvering space in a Ventana or Dutch Star with the wheelchair lift
Thanks so much for letting the rest of the RV community know that YES indeed there are RV's out there that are handicap accessible! Really enjoyed your video and thanks to your family as well for giving us the knowledge as to how to deal with handicaps while RVing!
April 30th 2022 Wow THX! For the review of your New Winnebago Inspire Diesel pusher, I’ve watched so many of your TH-cam videos & have most certainly gain some knowledge from; your post! But Now I have to Thank your Dad for his informative information about Freightliner being own by Mercedes-Benz that I didn’t know & thanks to your dad I do…. Mercedes Benz name stands for durability….. & it’s comforting knowing freightliner chassis is own by Mercedes Benz……
Thank god for the ADA. I am 63 years and I remember my mother back in the 60’s having to buy two pairs of shoes with different sizes because of her handicap. My father worked at Dr. Scholls in Chicago and the discount helped. I remember one time after the ADA Laws were in place my mother was surprised that she was able to get a pair of shoes for one price instead of two. I told her that was because of The President GWB. Even though her Politics were different she was grateful. The sad thing about the automotive industry is they are not accommodating to disabilities unless you pay for it.
Keep us informed on your Dad and Mom’s adventure with the RV. As always you are one of the best in promoting this industry and the RV reseller. Keep up the good work and as Siskel and Ebert would say you get two thumbs up 👍👍
Andrew and dad I want to tell you this was an inspiring video I didn’t even know these type of things existed what a wonderful coach and so glad you could take mom everywhere with you God bless all of you
ANDREW THAT IS YOUR DAD NO QUESTION VERY WELL SPOKEN LIKE YOU SAME MANNERISMS AND ALL
So glad to see someone who is building rigs for those with disabilities. We made our own changes to my parents RV after my mom had a stroke. I think its important for those with unfortunate circumstances to be able to live as normal as possible and being able to travel and camp is huge! Thanks for sharing with us.
Well like the coach says inspire….. this was definitely an inspiring video! This was a real review in all senses… yes any new purchases no matter how much research you do to check those boxes sometimes have glitches. I hope soon that Winnebago will take care of the issues! Awesome to have your dad give a real review and nice to see you and Shay got them a new mattress… Hopefully it does the trick for them… as always keep up the great videos
Much needed, especially for our Wounded Warriors!!
I hope there are ways to reach out to this community and help them.
Your Dad is a jem! Hopefully he can get someone to work on that slide. Thankyou for showing this coach, it's wonderful to know that people who have special needs are not forgotten & left behind!
Great video, especially with your dad! It's nice to get a "senior's" opinion on things that the younger crowd is not sensitive to. It's also nice that Winnebago is sensitive to designing an RV for folks with disabilities so that they can also enjoy the camping experience. I wonder if Winnebago is still using "bonded leather" in their units as they will start to peel in only a few years as I have experienced with my Forza. Most RVs in this price range are using that type of "leather". I hope Winnebago considers all of your Dad's comments!!!
Your father is wonderful!
Imagine that, having problems with a new coach! (Yes sarcasm) I hope Winnebago takes care of their product!
Andrew God Bless your Mom and Dad may they many good yrs with there Coach.
Andrew and family; Thank you for sharing your parents RV! My wife and I are now 61 and I've been doing a bus RV conversion myself. In 2020 I had Covid; Praise God! I survived it; I was on oxygen for almost the rest of the year, I was still trying to work on it, or dream up ideas! LOL! I had concentrator in the bus. My wife has handicapped issues, and now waiting for a liver transplant. It's been 2-1/2 yrs now, we have to stay within an hour drive of the hospital. We are blessed to drive our "work in progress" project around CT. This is so inspiring to know they make stuff like this manufactured! Cool that they have provisions for CPAP storage & use in the bedroom, great bathrm. It's also so inspiring that this doesn't stop your mom & dad from doing their dreams, even with challenges. God bless! AL & Diane from CT.
Thanks Allen. We also have a large oxygen concentrator on board!
What a wonderful family you have. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! We used to have a Winnebago and we loved it. Keep us posted about the issues and let us know how the solutions.

Well done Andrew and Father !! We appreciate your efforts
I have to say Winnebago has won my heart with this RV for the disabled. But my heart really got sold to that one RV you showed with the front kitchen and that chair lift for I'm not in a wheelchair yet. I wish I could have gotten my hands on that front kitchen.
Hi Andrew. This was a great and informative video. Lots to research for a disabled individual. I'm also interested in the mattress that sponsored your video. Looks awesome and I like the variety of sizes. Your father seems like a nice guy and I am glad they are able to enjoy the RV lifestyle. I am a little surprised that you didn't hook him up with a Newell from the Motorcoach Store!! Take care!
How nice it is to see your parents. Another well done video, Andrew and Shae.
Great information for disabled individuals. Glad you did the video. It will help lots of people with disabilities 👍👍
Great video. Safe travels to you and your family.
Andrew this is the best video that you have made so far to date. Fantastic you and are great together great job!!
Bless your dad is wonderful amd I wish your mum and dad all the best 💜
Great video and awesome to see your parents are traveling
Great to see your dad and to see the rv companies are thinking of us disabled people. Straight on Mel's dinner menu.
That is an awesome RV with the ADA accommodations! Was in the school bus business, the Q-strain and Braun products are top quality...
Andy, ❤😇💖
You are no doubt the skin of your daddy. 😁😇 Wow! Your dad have an affinity for fine motorcoaches (and motor engines). This really is an excellent tour of a beautiful motorhome equipped for the immobilized citizens. I watched this video a few times to find if there is something missing with no success. All points were covered thoroughly.
Thank you for sharing this tour.
Congratulations to your daddy for his purchase. Well done.
P.S. Just becareful when handling devices that appears hard to access. Manuals comes in handy ( sometimes) 😆 🤣 😂
❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖
Your Dad is adorable (& you guys sound the same!) You are blessed 🙌
Andrew you have your Dad’s voice 💜
Hey Winnebago may be a good idea to take care of Andrew Steele parents just saying lol
Pops explains it nicely. Your new co-host about to take over 😆
Andrew I am sure you can pull some strings with any further defects on this RV.And I hope your mum and dad have happy memories in the RV
Great video Andrew. I had no idea the RV's with lift were available from the factory.
Great video Andrew. Great unit for your parents to travel in. :).
Wow, that’s beautiful! Love the colors.
Really like ur dad. Glad he has found a Rv to fit his needs.
Nice looking coach. Great job Andrew and Shay. 👍
That’s a beautiful rig Andrew and the wheelchair access is fantastic.
I notice dad wearing the infamous Mel's Dinner shirt Fort Myers FL! Best food in nation. Naples FL has one too.
The coach is amazing an the bed too.
Looks like that light control over the bed was put in upside down. If you unscrewed and spun it around it would be correct. Great video.
Love seeing your dad in this video!!
Mold will develop on the bottom of the mattress if you don't put some type of moisture barrier between it and the plywood base. This will happen with any type of mattress when placing it on a plywood base. Not sure why my earlier comment was deleted regarding this...you would think people would want to be warned about this.
Your dad is a total awesome dude which is why you are an awesome guy Andrew
Andrew your dad and mom are rock stars!
I know a man who has recently lost both legs, above the knees, who could use an RV like this. He used to be a vanlifer in Canada. I'd buy an RV like this for him in a gesture of international friendship. This would be perfect for him.
Wow, you'd buy him such an expensive gift? That's very generous of you! Not many thinking of others these days
Pretty cool. The tv on a slide would be a great hack for the slide out issue
I have been saying for years the camping world is ignoring and missing out on a whole group of people…the disabled. And when the rv industry does come up with something wonderful like that wheelchair accessible RV it’s totally out of budget or comfort zone for the majority of us. How many people can really afford a wheelchair accessible dIesel pusher RV? Not me so I had to think outside the box.
I and my adult daughter who is mentally and physically disabled and wheelchair dependent have been traveling around the USA for quite a few years visiting family and friends, camping and exploring our National Parks & Monuments. My daughter is totally dependent on me now for everything…dressing, feeding, bathing and pottying. I am also the motor for her wheelchair.
For many years we tent camped but when she became dependent on her wheelchair it became more difficult not only tenting but just getting to the tent sites so we hung up our tent and limited the number of adventures we took every year and started staying in hotels. But it was expensive and tiresome for me to have to carry everything from the car into the hotel room and then back out every morning especially if we were only staying one night. I thought there had to be another way for us to continue to camp and travel.
In 2018 on our way home from Mount Rushmore we were sitting in a rest stop in New Mexico and I watched a guy go to the back of a cargo trailer, pull the ramp down and go inside. Suddenly a lightbulb went off. I thought why couldn’t we do that?
For over a year before this trip I had been searching for a camper. I joined multiple Facebook groups for small tiny campers. I knew I wanted something small that I would feel comfortable towing. It had to be in my budget $$ and under 2,000 lbs and without a lot of bells and whistle‘s. I looked at Casitas, A-frames, Lil Snoozy, rPod, Scamp, Airstream……. They either had the floor space but were too big and too heavy or they were the right size and weight but didn’t have the room that was needed for the wheelchair and her potty. I went to rv shows, rv dealers I emailed companies and said I don’t need the bathroom or the kitchen. We just need a safe place to sleep. I got the same answer, we can’t leave anything out.
I am not a handywoman so buying a cargo container was out of the question. So after 6 more months of searching I found what I was looking for. In the Fall of 2019 we drove to Elkhart, Indiana and picked up our 14’ toyhauler/camper. It weighs in at 1500 pounds. Its dual axle, has a ramp on the back, two side windows, a side door, a place to sleep, lights, ac and a bit of countertop if the weather is bad we cannot cook outside. If we stay in a campground we can hook up to electrical. I did have a few modifications done, added 300 watts of solar so we can boondock and on one end of the bench/bed cut out an area to fit my daughters potty chair.
It took some searching and thinking outside the box but it has exactly what we need to continue traveling and exploring.
I hope that others with challenges in their life can find their own way of staying or getting out there exploring and enjoying life.
LOVE THIS!...and your heart to live while we're living!!!....soooo many forget simplicity is key! Great story, great momma! Blessings on yalls travels! Been on road almost 7 wks, longest ever...been amazing!
Great video thank you for sharing.
You got a great spokesperson & Dad all in one!!
NICE DEMO . . . YOU ~ ROCK ! !
I had to take mine back to the dealership after buying brand new and the technician told me that it’s up to the customer to find out what’s wrong with your coach that’s Their system
That’s Winnebago slap it together let the customer fix it, warranty is only part of it, lost camping time after spending 1/4 million on a coach is not acceptable
We had a 2 hour walk through on our Montana 5th wheel to BE SURE it all worked before completing the deal. Havent had any issues with our baby and she's almost 2! Cant say same re our last minute new thor class a [we were not as educated😏]!!...but WE gotta inspect ,or hire outside inspection before we know or see issues, yes, even with n e w... happy travels, campers🕊
Great video! I really enjoyed your Dad! 👍
Your dad has a nice ride I love it looks good hope Winnebago does it right and fix his slide
I have a 2020 Winnebago took it three times to the factory in Forest City Iowa. Don’t screw around with techs or dealers. They were the nicest people. Each item was from sub companies that manufacture for Winnebago. Really had nothing to do with their assembly quality. Oh I am from Nevada, so worked out well. Vacationing and stopping for repairs.
new oné ektrc
Seniors are priceless!!!!!
You must bring him back ASAP
Andrew, any chance that each "reading" light can be dimmed by holding the button down to cycle through different brighteness levels? If so, then the next time turned off then back on hopefully it remembers the previous dim setting and doesn't come on blindingly bright.
So glad they are able to enjoy the road in this RV trying to focus on accessibility.
Best,
-Mark
So nice to see your Dad rocking life no matter what speed bump life gives him.
Liked seeing Esther too!!
Excellent information thanks
Andrew, your mother is lucky to have a husband like your father. He seems like a great man.
Excellent video !! No reason why everyone should not be RV ing!! My son is Disabled and loves camping !!!
Your dad explains things so well
Funny. My wife and I have different opinions on left and right for beds. She like your father determines the orientation lying in the bed. I say it’s standing at the Foot of the bed facing the headboard. In that instance the buttons are correct. It’s all about perception lol.
Yeah I personally would go with laying in the bed as you are looking straight up at it. "Should be" an easy fix to pull it out and reverse it.
Great video and review on the Winnebago. Really pretty coach and paint job. Love the blues in the paint.
What is the Corgi's name? We've had two Corgi's over the last 15 years and love the breed.
Maybe this was mentioned, didn’t read the comments but the light panel he doesn’t like over the bed appears to be upside down, rotate it 180 degrees and right will be right, left will be left.
Always thought that IF developers made MORE such RV's / Homes for handicapped individuals, more capable folks would see the benefits for us all.
Andrew, like you, your Dad is unique.
