Stromberg Carlson AM-533 Lend-A-Hand Extended Assist Rail - RV Handrail, RV Handle Grab Bar by Door, Camper Hand Rail, RV Step Handrail, Trailer Door Handle, Grab Handle, 37" Overall Drop, Black

Purchased to assist someone on/off the top of the attic ladder. I mounted it to verticle 2x4 that is next to the attic opening, so you need to reach over a couple of inches but it is perfect. When going up it becomes uncomfortable for some once they reach the door panel as it prevents the front of your foot from stepping onto the rung with the ball and arch of your foot - necessitating the need to grab ahold of something just as you begin to run out of ladder to hold onto. Although the hand rail is a few inches to the side, it is perfectly placed to continue up the last 4 rungs while remaining upright - vs either ending up on all fours to come off the ladder, or being precariously perched, doubled over with both hands and feet on the top rung! Naturally going down without the hand rail was just as horrifying - for both the individual and the one watching! Although now it's quite comical, it truly was an unsafe situation. Unfortunately it is typical of most attic access points. And companies addressing it are charging several hundreds of dollars for for a rail quite similar to this one! Actually this rail is even better bc it moves - the mechanism that allows it to fold flat agains the side of your trailer or motorhome works perfectly when needing it out of the way for moving bulky items onto or off of the side of the access way when bringing things up or down. Restricting the movement from the sides was my only concern about adding a rail up top, but the ability to move it out of the way makes it PERFECT!I will definitely be buying another when I find the right RV as well as for future attics.Overall the functionality, build quality, design and installation ease of this rail is great. I definitely recommend it for anywhere a railing would be of assistance.Note, this is NOT built for or meant to be a deterrent and will not hold your weight if leaning against or over it. But it's perfect to steady onself and even to pull yourself up or let yourself down - just like a handrail should.

Works fine. If needed, the Stromberg website has a little more information as far as size comparison to your existing handle. This replaced my 800 model perfectly. The old mounting pivots must come off because the handle and mounting pivots can't be dismantled without modification. The job is very easy. No screws or instructions are included - use the old mounting screws and seal properly.

Very lightweight and easy to install. Very helpful on hilly, and unlevel campsites.

Fit good and sturdy

is a little wobbly but it does its function. It was supper easy to install. do recommend watching some YouTube videos before installing to get a general idea. Be sure to find the studs on the RV that way it holds strong!. Overall it is not a bad product for the price. It did come with screws which are pretty big and hold on strong to my RV. Would recommend buying.

Bolted it on. Loved it

Perfect and easy to install! String and sturdy!

I got this to replace the smaller on on my truck camper. It's almost 30" off the ground so I wanted a longer handle to grab as I was going down the steps. the thing is the grip is only on the vertical section but I use other sections. Since it rains here a lot I was concerned that the bar could get slippery. I added some hockey tape (cloth tape) to the top section. Probably not necessary, but does provide a much surer grip. The bar fit right into the old holes (I through bolted it some as they were not hitting any structure) I used some butyl putty under it to keep water out of the holes. It does wobble a bit between the bar and the plastic base, because of the way it's designed to fold. It certainly seems strong enough for it's intended use- to prevent a fall, not to stop one that's happening. The extra range allows me to use it all the way up and down the steps. It's made in the USA which is a plus also. The box was a little smashed mostly because it's mostly empty, but the part was just fine.
