Moving to the bathroom, you’ ll find loads of custom touches. First, the bathroom is big and open, filled with cupboards, a diesel heater vent for improved bathroom climate control, a sink that’ s half recessed into the vanity( allowing someone in a wheelchair to move underneath for better access to the sink), and then there’ s the bathroom’ s focal point: the shower. But this is no ordinary shower. First, there’ s no lip or water-stop for someone in a wheelchair to overcome. They can simply roll straight in. Regal has also provided two shower heads, grab rails and a shower curtain – all items designed to make caravanning in a wheelchair not only achievable but comfortable.
It continues: the hatches are activated by remote control. Obviously, someone in a wheelchair couldn’ t reach the roof hatches, so it’ s a case of technology to the rescue.
As someone who is not confined to a wheelchair, I am unable to fully appreciate or understand the difficulties that would need to be overcome to travel by caravan. That said, from what I can tell, the RAV addresses such challenges in practical ways. I would imagine that for somebody in a wheelchair, the word‘ access’ would take on new meaning, and it seems a fitting description for the Regal Access Van. That’ s what this van is all about – access.
Yes, the van is fitted with all of the usual equipment – a TV, a sound system, a diesel heater, reversecycle AC – and it is not slapped together. This is Regal we’ re talking about – if you know anything about the team behind the business, you know they take pride in what they do and that it shows.
