If you'd consider a Class A, the Thor Axis and Vegas are have low step-in heights (although I'm not a big fan of Thor products). Then there's no in-and-out of a tall truck either. Ideally, a pristine Winnebago Rialto is the easiest access, but finding one would be the tough part. . . . never confuse education with intelligence, nor motion with progress stevenal • View posts Newport, OR, USA Senior Member Joined: 03/16/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/05/22 01:19pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator 1) Replace TC with something else? Never. 2) Replace arthritic wife? Too tough to train a new one. 3) Replace wife's arthritic knee? Winner!! Surgery occurred in June, and she was able to get into the camper bed in November, and still getting stronger. Of course TCing was not the only consideration. Mid-60s is too young to be giving up the things we love to do. '18 Bigfoot 1500 Torklifts and Fastguns '17 F350 Powerstroke Supercab SRW LB 4X4 3 tons • View posts NV.

I wouldn't hesitate to get surgery on the knees, there are options now that weren't available 10 years ago. If you do nothing, it will only get worse. Despite my numerous procedures, I'm doing quite well. 2007 Lance 1131 1997 GMC K3500 crew cab supercharged dually Pete_k • View posts Stantonville Tn Senior Member Joined: 03/18/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/12/22 05:41pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Know of a guy.

Sadly, they haven't been made in a number of years, so the only options are restoration.
