I need to find away to get my electric wheelchair (pride puma) into my
golden eagle camper van.
I saw this on ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tail-Lift...CommercialVehicleParts_SM&hash=item35d5460bec
I'd need to find someone to fit it for me, and to go and collect it too,
really don't fancy driving mh to get it
So any advice please? Thanks in anticipation

Lucy

Hi Lucy

Don't buy the one in the first post.
It's an old cable operated model and by the sound of it the cables are on their way out, it'll cost a lot more than the asking price to renew them.

I'm not familair with the model in the second post, looks as if it's a fully hydraulic model so should be more reliable and cheaper to maintain (less to go wrong).
The main problem with all these lifts is the mods required to the vehicle in order to fit them. You really need a rear dorway so the operating gear can be bolted between the chassis rails. The cost of buying any used one is likely to be dwarfed by the cost of installing it.

Thanks gaspode.
I was thinking of using a ramp when I saw the first one.
Finances are prohibitive on buying a new one.
Value the help though

Hi
You will have to be careful with weight also as these lifts are very heavy and not many motorhomes will have the spare capacity for one especially when you also need other equipment like your chair on board.
It may help if you could tell us what the exact details of your motorhome are, weights etc as there are some specialist lifts on the market that may suit you but they don't come cheap.

Thanks James,
Don't have this info, but will try to get it.
Looks like its going to be a portable ramp
for now :roll:
