\nThe RV has a 45-liter water tank and a water heater. The water and the RV are heated with electricity or with liquefied petroleum gas. There is also a gasoline-powered spare generator.<\/p>\n

The RV also has 2 TV sets that run on electricity and 12-volt battery.<\/p>\n

Users comments<\/strong>
\nHelena and her husband began to look for a used RV, but couldn\u2019t find one that met their needs. Then they checked the different brands and chose Polarvagn, since it is made in Sweden and it was easy to talk to the factory.
\nPolarvagn makes individual modifications for wheelchair users, but that solution was too expensive for Helena and her family. Instead they ordered a standard configuration RV with a 70 cm wide door and Helena\u2019s husband made all of the other custom modifications:
\n– removal of existing shower walls and cabinets next to toilet to make room in the shower
\n– shower curtains sewn
\n– plastic floor covering welded to floor by shower
\n– ceiling lift installed
\n– roof reinforced with aluminum beams on top of RV for ceiling lift
\n– wooden ramp
\n– cabinet by entrance redesigned to allow for a larger turning radius<\/p>\n

The goal was to make everything as convenient as possible. For detailed information, contact the user through spinalistips@spinalis.se<\/p>\n
