    I'm looking at helping someone standing, not in a wheelchair
    or scooter. Perhaps using a walker.

    Experience, recommendations, would be appreciated.

    If you have a side entrance it is doable not with the cab door.

    No experience, however a friend was in contact with these people last
    year but instead sold his RV - decided he and wife were too old to spend
    more money for one last trip.

    Large swingout handles on the exterior will help a lot. Many of us older people have balance issues and need the support which will instill confidence. Or, get a toy hauler :-). Good luck.

    I know a few folks that have an RV and are similarly burdened. I'll ask
    them and those around them in case there's something useful I can reply
    with.

    Take care and be well all,

    Yep! We completely agree. Been using some. Don't "need" them (yet),
    but was getting ready in case we did. Helpful they are.
