RV REVIEW
Now, out of the couple who ordered this van, one is in a wheelchair. The other partner is able to sleep against the front wall on the conventional flat mattress. The outer mattress, though, can be raised and lowered at the push of a button to facilitate easy transfer from the wheelchair to bed, and the foot and back rests can be raised too.
The RAV is filled with similar wheelchair-friendly touches. Take the kitchen, for example. First, the customers asked Regal to lower the overall bench height by about 50mm. No problem. The customers also wanted a bench extension that slides out from beneath the main bench – that way, the person in the wheelchair can move their legs under the extension, allowing them to use their arms at the bench extension without having to reach.
The kitchen is equipped with a four-burner cooktop, griller and oven, as well as a microwave below the bench( again, making access easier).
