| Welcome to The Enabled RVer! Worldwide there has been a growing Disabled Freedom Movement and the individuals with special needs are seeking new travel choices. Access-travel has become popular and familiar to many traveling by air and sea. Now, with the help of many, the RVing community is able to enter a whole new frontier with the special-needs traveler in mind. In preparing this web site, a few interesting things happened. When I mentioned the term "access travel", some people didn't know what it meant so I had to explain it. When I used the term "RVing", some were not aware of the some 30 million RV enthusiasts. So, here's what I've done. I am developing a series of articles which will be important to you. You'll find features on great destinations, weekend getaways, accessible RVs, part-timing and full-timing, and schooling or working on the road. Can all of these features be possible in an access-travel site? Sure they can! I hope that you find this free information helpful. Just follow the links on the left side of this page to start your your Internet travel adventures. Making Your Voice Heard The Enabled RVer will start a series of quick polls to better understand the needs of special RVers. The voting is quick and simple. Just click on the correct button to record your vote. Thanks for helping!
