Wheels on Wheels is about a full time wheelchair user living part-time in her minivan.
Hi! My name is Joan and since a car accident in 1985 I have been living life as a full time wheelchair user as the result of a spinal cord injury. I am now starting a new journey. I quit my job and will be selling my home and moving into my Dodge Grand Caravan. Come along on my journey to see how I tackle the unique challenges of setting up a van for living/camping as a person who is unable to stand up. I plan to do a lot of travelling so hopefully there will also be good information on accessible activities along the way.
Please enjoy my videos and feel free to make comments and suggestions that might be useful to me or anyone who views the videos.

I have had my new shower for several months and have not been able to use it due to broken legs and the inaccessibility of it. Here is how I fixed the problem.
Does the medical system really understand my needs as a fulltime wheelchair user.

Good video of how you tackle the challenge of a shower. Thanks for the inspiration.
Your welcome!
Glad you got something that worked! How fortunate that you had someone nearby who could fabricate that. And how good you are at the research to have found them!
Just determined! That's all. LOL
❤ Fantastic! How are you securing it in? Ratchet straps or is there something built on it? Enjoy.
Yes Ratchet straps. Not thrilled with that part yet. I am finding them difficult but that will get better as I use them more.
Right on! Does it swing away from your back door as well?
No. And I think that is going to be a problem but after all the time and effort it took to get here i have had to let some stuff go. Maybe in future I will be able to get it modified.
@ totally get that nomad life is all about compromise! Sometimes you gotta give some things up. You probably already know you can get a separate piece that will allow what you have to swing away, but you’re likely already pushing your tongue load of the van.
@@Keepinitwheel306 I did not know that. You mean like something I could purchase at Amazon or somewhere to add to my carrier? I will look into it but i think your are right about that. I had asked about a swing away but he felt it was too heavy.
that's exciting!!! A work in Progress but well worth the effort!!!! Adventure on!!!
You Bet!
Yippee!!! 🎉 It's great to see that smile on your face! Big thanks to your fabricator!!!
Yes it feels good to be almost done after so many months!
Oh, I'm so happy for you. That is a great addition to your Van. And it's gonna be a great addition for your outings. 🎊
Totally agree!
I am so happy for you. You have solved your problem of getting your carrier needs fixed.
Thank you! Me too!
Are you going to come down to Quartzsite this year? I would love to meet up with you!
I am planning on it. Look for me at the RTR. I plan to be there in time for that. Will you be there?
that is awesome!
YOU ARE THE COOO0LEST!!!!🎉 WOW!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ha Ha. Thanks!
That sounds exciting!! And so jealous!!! Adventure on!! What a view!
Well whenever you get the post, I will be here to watch. And until then have a blessed one.😊 That was a very nice fireworks display.
Thank you!
Looking forward to seeing the rack for the front drive! If you don’t find an upholsterer, you could always just wrap it is shrink wrap until you’re out of the snow. That’s what I did the year I took my basketball and racing chairs on a rack. I wasn’t using them in the snow anyways haha
That is a good idea. Never thought of it. Maybe I will run into you somewhere when I get south.
@ I’m already in So Cal, do let me know if you end up on the coast
@@Keepinitwheel306 Ok i will. i had hoped to do some travel in California too this winter.
Great fireworks!!! Excited for you to travel in January - hope all work for the front bike gets accomplished. Always great to hear from you!
I am excited too. Thanks for posting!
Will you be going to the RTR? I think that was a Diwali fireworks display.
The fireworks were on Halloween but maybe some celebrated it as Diwali too. Yes I hope to be at the RTR. Introduce yourself to me if you are there.
Sounds like a great plan. Thanks for the update. Fireworks were awesome. ☮️
thank you!
God bless you..❤❤your independence n encouragement for so many.
Thank you!
Good for you! I had a stroke a year ago and I'm tired of putting my life on hold too. I'll be heading out in a cpl months
Will you be in a camper or van or something? Where do you think you would like to go?
@out-spokenwheelsonwheels5870 I'll be in a chevy equinox. I'm gonna head to gettysburg for a few days then to ny then probably up to Canada. Eventually heading out west for awhile
@@aaslacker Chevy Equinox! Small! That sounds fun though. I want to go accross the states and come up the east coast to go back to Canada after this winter too. You are picking a time when it is starting to get cold in Canada. Hope you can stay warm. The prairies are not a nice place in winter. Hope you can get through them before it gets too cold and windy.
@@out-spokenwheelsonwheels5870 I'm one of those weird people who loves the winter lol
@@aaslacker It does have its nice points but I want warmth now. Lol
So wonderful to see you out like that. My dad was born in Wallace, ID and I have cousins in MT near the border.
It is really beautifull there. I could live there easy!
Amazing!!! What an inspiration you are!!! 💯🤗👌👍🤓
Thank you!

This kind of video is interesting. Hope you can make more videos like this.
Thank you for letting me know that you liked it. I like getting the feedback so I can have an idea what kind of videos to put out.
20:00 When people were upset and my coworkers at the pharmacy would say stuff like that, I took pride in recognizing that the way to solve the problem was to actually solve the problem. I was doing that as a teenager and 20 years later, no one else does that in any industry. If you are sincere, then I can relate somewhat. While I’m not confined to a wheelchair I have mobility issues and other health concerns that are made worse by the ignorance of these people who swear on oaths but unfortunately self awareness and incorporating seeing things from the patient/customer perspective aka not judging them for trying to understand and advocate for themselves. I found they waste time and resources just to act this way towards anyone “different.” Calling someone a Karen is actually a compliment.
That was a well thought out comment from someone who has been there. Appreciate hearing your thoughts. I agree that no one seems able to understand where anyone else is coming from any more. It can be so frustrating. Thanks again for commenting.
Some people put a computer fan into the gutter guard on their window and it creates an air conditioner.
i had not heard of that. I will look into it
that was a great watch Joan! Enjoyed the tour and the sights! What a great accessible gem!~!
Thanks Tony! It was a really great trip!
i love this video. I could almost fell the breeze as you were biking.
Awe! Thanks. glad you enjoyed it.
😅your bike. Is awesome!
Yes I really like it too!
Tremendous video of a fantastic trip! Thanks for the beauty hits 🤩. I'm appreciative of the silence when you stopped by some of the animals. That was great having a moose photo bomb your picture of a dear 😄! Not many people can say they've had that happen. I'm very happy that you have friends to go adventuring with and hope you can get your rig worked out to carry the equipment soon. Looking forward to the next trip. Stay well and enjoy your life.
Thank you! I love it. Never thought of it as a photo bomb. How appropriate. Haha
That looked like it was so much fun in such a beautiful place.😊
It was! Best trip this year!
Well done on an epic bike ride, what a distance you went. Im glad you found these paved footpaths. Great animal sightings and footage, thankyou for sharing.
