THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED
The question is did you find a mobile living lifestyle or did it find you?
In November of 2009 I crashed on a mountain bike and broke my neck suffering a spinal cord injury. This trip-over-your-shoelace type accident left me paralyzed from the chest down with limited hand function. As an adventure athlete, I figured my days of adventure were over. Turns out, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
With my level of injury (c5/6), there were only a handful of vehicles that could be adapted for me to drive. It’s nearly impossible for me to disassemble my wheelchair independently which leaves me with the options of a minivan, a full-size van, and possibly a couple of highly modified and super expensive specialized vehicles. Because I tow a trailer occasionally, a full sized van became the obvious choice to suit my needs. So that’s what I went with, a 2003 GMC
