All,
I have a good friend that will be looking for a coach, about 30', to be used for voter registration. It needs to be handicapped accessible from the
side and possibly through the rear. Obviously a specialty coach. It needs to have a head and genny power. It can be used or new. Does anyone know
where we can start to look for something like this?
Thanks,
John

That is a tall order. I cant imagine anything that would come close.

I would think of a
Few things that come to mind. Buy a school bus with a wheel chair lift, but that may be too slow and work for access. Add a bathroom.

Take a GMC and rebuild the rear cap for a 36" door.

You are probably looking at a trailer. If you look at the custom ice houses they build around here in MN and wisconsin. 36" door, drop it easily
to ground. Many do come with bathrooms now.

Newmar makes a couple models with a lift for wheelchairs. One model I can think of is the Canyon Star 3911. They have been making them for years.

Have you given any thought to a used bus? Some of the newer ones have wheel chair lifts. Some even kneel down. You might have to put your own bathroom
facilities in though. You don't even have to buy one, some dealers will lease them. Church, school, muni, articulating, you might even find a double
decker. Goggle used buses for sale and prepared to be overwhelmed. Hope this helps.

Did I do this right?
 
Hi John, I believe Bob Donahugh is offering to build a GMC to sell to customer specs. He is well experienced in handicap accessible. He does
quality work and is not slow..

I read Bob D.'s e mail re his 36"entry door and wheel chair access coaches, and believe his was trying to indicate it can be done, but not volunteering to do it.
Now - if you could convince him to - it would be top quality, affordable, and a Gr8 solution.
I have seen both of the coaches that he has refurbished for his wheel chair bound wife - and they are top quality.
They are well planned, well executed, and I believe would be the best solution to the problem, if you could convince him/pay him enough to do one.
JMHO! just my humble opinion!
