Driving Dilema | Arthritis Information

I recently bought a small motorhome that I love to drive.  My problem is that I have RA and lower back pain, plus sometimes I have bursitis in my hips. 

 
I need to find a good seat cushion that will make my driving easier.  I don't want to have to give up driving.  My dog and I stop and take frequent walking breaks, but my back and hips still hurt.
 
Any suggestions for a good seat cushion to ease the pain?  Thanks.
You might take a look at www.1800wheelchair.com  (don't type wheelchairs, thats another site) Look under pillows and supports, and then therapeutic seating.  Good luck, hope you find something and happy trails to you.
 
Joie, Thanks.  That is a good website.  I finally found my Homedic car seat that I got pre-RA.  I'm going to give that a try on my next trip.  I can plug it in and have a back massage and heat while I'm driving.  If that doesn't work, I saw something else on that website that I will try.  Thanks again.
