Wheelchair cover for shower

[BlueandGold]

Anyone ever heard of wheelchair cover that would allow you drive in the shower and forget this transfer crap?

I haven't, probably because power chair batteries are so close to the ground that anything that would cover them would impede driving, it would seem. There is a lot of wiring as well, that is not as exposed from rain coming from above, that within a shower, would be at risk. "Water" even in the absence of flooding is listed in the Permobil warranty, for example, as an exclusionary event.

I wish it were possible but I can't think how. But if anyone invents something that keeps the battery and wiring dry, there is a market!

Not to mention the corrosion that would get into the mechanics of the suspension, seat tilt-in-space, elevation, recline, etc. A cover wouldn't prevent the moisture from collecting in all these moving parts. It would more effort drying out and lubricating everything than transfer to the shower chair.
