Google!

Anything with a flat floor, can have a ramp/lift and a wheelchair tie down fitted. And those things are huge like busses. Most of them are probably suitable.

This one has space for a wheelchair:

There is a firm near Nuneaton that builds / converts motorhomes with wheel-in showers, hydraulic w/c lifts, profile beds, overhead hoist and tracking...whatever you want. They were at one of the disability roadshows last year and they have at least one fully w/c adapted motorhome available to hire. Sally and I went to their factory last year and were going to hire one for a few days, but our circumstances changed.
Can't remember the company name but if you really can't find them send me a pm and I'll hunt for their literature, could take me a day or two though. Mark

Thanks Mark
We worked out that it was cheaper for her to live full time March to October in a motor home whilst she is racing and rent during her off season.
She is trying to self fund to get to Rio paraolympics but travel costs and a mortgage mean the math just doesn't add up to let her do enough races to rank high enough.
Looks like we need to find a mobility show for our next girls day out.
