My wife is handicapped and it is difficult for her to climb the steps into the motor home. I am investigating power lifts that would make this chore easier. Does any one have personal experience with these lifts. There are a limited number of companies who make them but so far no one has one in Northern California for me to view.

Don,
Did you ever find a suitable solution to your question? If not, may I respectfully suggest that, depending upon your wife's ability to negotiate a gentle (ADA approved) ramp with the assistance of a steady hand rail, you may be able to adequately address the matter without needing to install a hydraulic or electric lift system.
There are a number of portable aluminum ramps which can be easily adapted to the doorway width and brackets can be fitted to the coach to provide a firm anchor point for a hand rail from the base of the ramp to the coach.
This approach encourages a person to continue the use of their personal mobility for as long as possible. Please have a certified Rehabilitation Physical Therapist consult in the matter to be certain this is within her capabilities and can be done safely and beneficially.
Best wishes to your and yours,
Jim
