THE BACKSTORY
A year ago, my wife and I determined we were not going to allow Parkinsons Disease to sideline us
from America’s favorite pastime. PD had, after 12 years, brought her legs to a standstill, but she was
still able, with my help, to transfer from chair to wheelchair. So, with a few very special upgrades to
a great quality camping trailer, with a proper floor plan, it became possible for us to hit the road
again!
A PERFECT MATCH!
To begin with, my wife could not navigate from a wheelchair up into a full-size pickup truck, but she
was able to transfer into our family car. Therefore, we searched for a camper under 8,500 lbs. fully
loaded, just about the weight limit for an automobile. I did a ton of research and came up with the
perfect match of vehicles, the ORV 19MKS and a Dodge Durango R/T. Tip: This car has plenty of
power and weight to easily handle the RV we fell in love with. The Durango pulls this size of
camper, loaded with almost 80 gallons of fresh water, up the steepest slopes we have ever come
across with power to spare. (We live in Pennsylvania with a ton of hills and mountains to get over).
The 19MKS comes standard with off-road ground clearance, X4 suspension on an integrated Aframe
chassis, which will get you safely to most remote sites.
ACCESSIBILITY!
The next hurdle…. if you can’t walk, how do you get up 3 steps into a camper! A company called
CoachLift came to the rescue with their marvelous RV Lift, a chair driven up and down with a 12v
motor and bolted to the side of the camper. This feature is truly the key to this whole entire project.
( YouTube shows many videos of how this operates). Maybe you are still able to navigate a few
steps that have shorter 4-inch risers, so you also are in luck, because included with this wonderful
camper is a custom set of aluminum stairs which are completely portable and fold up into a
suitcase size that fits right into the storage compartment. This set of stairs is made by RV-Co
Manufacturing.
SAFETY AND COMFORT FEATURES!
This 19MKS has a lot of very comfortable features for a smaller RV such as a large walk-in shower, a
nice slide-out for TV viewing, a Queen size Murphy Bed/Dinette table combination, which opens up
the daytime floor space considerably. (The Queen mattress is the best combination of soft and firm
I have ever experienced) There is plenty of open floor space for a wheelchair to operate in without
bumping into things. A few grab bars have been added to key locations for easy transfers.
TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE THE JOURNEY!
A 32” Samsung QLED TV provides a “virtual window” to the outside world for the disabled person
who can’t just pop in and out of doors. The video for this virtual window is provided by 2 outdoor
PTZ HD cameras mounted on either side of the camper. This feature greatly lessens that “shut-in
feeling” for the one who is handicapped, plus the cameras can be accessed from a smartphone
while away from the RV, which provides great security. The standard frosted door window has
been replaced with clear glass. The stock Jenson TV speaker is replaced with a Yamaha SR-C20A
soundbar. A Winegard Air360 system provides dependable Internet via a cellular service plan and
also provides your local WIFI. A 5.5-gallon pressure tank has been added to the water system which
enables the water pump to relax and stop the cycling on and off every 5 seconds. It operates just
like your water system at home. A must-have accessory is the Haloview BTC128 rearview camera,
already installed, along with the dashboard wireless 7-inch monitor. Another reassuring device is
the Tymate TM2 wireless tire pressure monitoring of all four camper tires.
POWER PLUS!
Now if all of the above is not enough, this camper really shines, sporting a custom upgrade to its
stock electrical system. This Off-Grid system uses Victron Energy products to supply 20,000 watthours
from four 51v Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries. The system can be charged from Shore
power of course, but also from 1,200 watts of 4 BougeRV solar panels on the roof, and an additional
1,500 watts from your car’s battery charger as you drive down the road! The solar power source,
plus DC conversion from the tow vehicle can easily keep your camper powered up for weeks at a
time without ever having to search for shore power. The heart of this system is a 5kW Victron
Energy Multiplus-ll Inverter/charger along with a Cerbo GX and a Touch 50 monitor screen.
WATER SUPPLY THAT DOESN’T STOP!
What helps tremendously with extended Off Grid camping are the extra-large holding tanks,
including 78 gallons of fresh water, unheard of for this size of camper! These tanks also have built-in
heaters for cold climates. We camped in sub-freezing temps in complete comfort thanks to the
extra thick walls, (an Outdoors RV Manufacturing hallmark), and a very efficient propane furnace. In
fact, this camper is so outstanding in so many important all-weather comfort areas, it could easily
serve as your Tiny Home.
COMPLETE! ROAD-TESTED AND PROVEN! LIKE-NEW BUT BETTER!
Consider the fact that this unique, “only comes around once” camper has been tested and proven,
all the bugs worked out and is in PERFECT like-new condition after 2,000 miles of travel. This is a
hard one to part with, however we are now looking for a new owner that will appreciate its
uniqueness and embrace RV travel once again just when you thought it was over. This RV requires
absolutely nothing else for you to purchase. Included are all your camp setup accessories so all you
need is a 2-inch hitch receiver and you’ll be completely ready for road adventure once more!
