New member with a few questions

Hi all,

First post so sorry if it's all been asked several times before.

Late last year I bought our first motorhome, the deal was too good to pass up so I jumped in at the deep end, it is a 6 berth chausson flash 03, I have 3 young kids and soon found a few small issues.
I have advertised the camper for sale this weekend, if I sell I would make a few small changes to the next purchase but if not I am happy to make the most of it.

The Dinette which converts into a double berth is a bit short for adults, it is 5'5", are all dinettes this small or is mine just a bit tight? It also has 4 belts around it but I could not see 4 people seating there on a journey.

I think a double berth or u- lounge would suit the young kids better, they are two small for bunks but that said the lower bunk is easily big enough for 2 kids.

I now think now that a right hand drive will work better also as it is for weekends in Ireland , if we get to go abroad there will be an adult in the passenger seat where as at the moment we drive a car separate if it is a close location we are going too.

Now the big one, my older boy is 5 1/2 years old and has cerebral palsy, I would like to be able to widen the entrance door for a wheelchair and fit tracks for transport, has anyone seen a door widened for a chair?

Any thoughts

Thanks

I am sure you could get the door widened by a coach builder, but I guess it would be expensive and you would loose valuable storage space inside, I think Ken's option would probably be better. The other option would be a van conversion with a wide sliding door on the side but with two young children you would have to opt for a large Mercedes type van.

The main thing to remember is for every child travelling you need a seat belt.

Is it still the case that rear facing seats don't need belts by law ?
