It’s estimated that about 1 in 4 Americans and 1 in 5 Canadians live with a disability. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to explore the open road, regardless of where they come from or their mobility needs.
Although RVs are not required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines, many RV manufacturers remain committed to providing wheelchair users with opportunities to explore the wide-open road. As popular RV attractions and destinations have grown to accommodate people with disabilities, people who use wheelchairs need a way to reach them, and RV manufacturers have risen to this meaningful challenge.
Today’s accessible RV options range from spacious Class A motorhomes to compact camper vans, each offering different advantages depending on how you travel and what features matter most to you.
Here’s a closer look at a handful of well-known factory-ready wheelchair-accessible RV models.
1. Newmar’s mobility lineup: Dutch Star 4311
For travelers looking for a high-end Class A diesel motorhome with an accessibility-focused design, the Dutch Star 4311 remains one of the strongest contenders. Spacious living areas and wider pathways make moving around easier, while several features improve accessibility:
- Roll-in shower
- Lowered switches and appliances
- Widened aisleways
- Adjustable kitchen table
- Open kitchen and living space
Beyond accessibility, the Dutch Star also includes several premium residential-style features, such as available radiant heated tile flooring, Apple CarPlay®, and a retractable 50" Samsung® 4K LED TV.
The Newmar Dutch Star 4311 combines a luxury diesel platform with a floor plan that enhances accessibility throughout the coach, and the Dutch Star remains one of Newmar’s most popular motorhome lineups.
2. Newmar’s mobility lineup: Bay Star 3811

3. Newmar’s mobility lineup: Northern Star 4011
Designed with accessibility in mind, the Northern Star 4011 includes several mobility-focused features. This generous floor plan enhances maneuverability while still delivering the residential feel many Class A buyers seek. Accessibility-focused features include:

4. Winnebago Roam (used)
Although the Winnebago Roam is no longer in production, it remains one of the best-known examples of a mobility-focused camper van and demonstrates the continued need for accessible RV options in smaller, easier-to-drive platforms. Key accessibility features include:
- Under-vehicle wheelchair lift
- Powered sofa beds
- Lowered countertops and controls
- Bathroom grab handles
- Wheelchair tie-down systems
- Flexible storage solutions
- Optional pop-top sleeping area
The Roam combines mobility-focused features with the maneuverability of a Class B camper van and is still available on the used market.
5. Accessibility-modified toy haulers
While fully wheelchair-accessible toy haulers are uncommon from major manufacturers, they’re often adaptable, mobility-friendly RV platforms.
Because they feature large rear ramp doors and open garages, toy haulers may offer greater flexibility for wheelchair maneuverability and custom accessibility modifications than other RV classes.
In recent years, manufacturers like Dune Sport have offered toy hauler models specifically designed for wheelchair users, while other platforms, such as Alliance RV and Genesis Supreme, have become popular bases for accessibility-focused modifications.
Choosing the right wheelchair-accessible RV
The most complete wheelchair-accessible RV for you depends on how you travel, how often you move between destinations, the amount of space you need, and your day-to-day mobility requirements.
For many travelers, Class A motorhomes offer the most complete factory-built accessibility solutions, with spacious interiors and mobility-focused layouts designed directly into the coach. Compact Class B camper vans prioritize maneuverability and easier driving, while toy haulers may provide additional flexibility for travelers interested in customized accessibility setups.
As accessibility-focused RV design continues to evolve, manufacturers are offering more mobility-friendly options across multiple RV categories. Whether you prioritize residential comfort, compact drivability, or customization potential, today’s RV market provides more opportunities than ever for travelers who want to explore the road with greater comfort and independence.
