I would like to give a A rating, but I am unable to as it was just delivered today, and I have not had a chance to install. That being said the item was delivered with the box completely opened. I do not know if all the pieces are there. At this point, it appears to be a good quality handrail. If you would like to send me another rating in a few days after it’s been installed I would be happy to do so. (I was unable to submit this unless I chose a rating above so I gave average.)



by:

This new handrail is doing exactly what we hoped for! No more having to reach up to get to the handrail. Fit perfectly in replacing the one that came on our Forest River 8263 MBR travel trailer.



by:

Fits perfectly in place of the stock entry handle that came with our RV. So far appears it will work well. 4 stars because the handle is loose in the cradles and moves when u grab the handle to enter. Stock one was tighter.

@Polly That is not good! Luckily, there are replacement caps available on our site, part # SC35GR.


by:

My wife has mobility and balance issues. With our standard entry handle, she was wobbly, especially if ice or snow was on the steps. She has only used this handle a couple of times but is very comfortable.

Install was easy, remove 4 Phillips screws, clean underneath the mount pads, apply sealer (I used silicone) to the screw holes, put the handle back in place and reinstall the screws (new ones are included but I just reused what was there).



by:

The product is of quality. The service agents (this time it was Gwen) and follow-ups are amazing. This is why I choose etrailer for my camper needs.



by:

Fit exactly where original handle was. Went on very easily. Could use addition foam sleeve on the angled upper tho.



by:

Very easy to replace the existing handle with this. Makes entering and exiting the trailer much safer.



by:

Nice handle upgrade. 15 minute install time. New lend-a-hand same brand as original install, so used same holes to mount to trailer. Very happy to have launched longer support to go along with new stairs.



by:

Fast shipping. Perfect replacement fit. Easy installation.



by:

Everything lined up and took all of 15 minutes to remove old and install new.



by:

Perfect fit to replace the grab handle installed at the factory.



by:

Super quick delivery, we are so pleased. We are ordering a second hand railing. This hand railing does everything as promised. Really easy to install.



by:

A real improvement in safety. 5 minute install



by:

Replaced a broken smaller version. This is nice and bolted right in.



by:

I installed one of these at both trailer doors. They have been terrific. After a knee and hip joint replacement surgeries and arthritis in the others, my wife is mobility challenged. Not only do these handrails help her get into the trailer, it gives her more confidence about getting in. You should realize there is a chance there may not be blocking at your mounting locations but this is somewhat mitigated by the fact there are 3 screws per mounting block. Special fasteners may be advisable.

Still working well. I am very pleased.



by:

Installation was a breeze. Product enhances safety and looks good too.



by:

Took all of 10 minutes to install.Bolted up to existing
handrail bolt holes.Gives you
a much more secure feeling going up and down stairs.



by:

The grab rail match the holes from my original handle, so installation was a breeze. Like having the lower handle for my wife's smaller size, makes it great for her.

It works great. Should be on all RVs.



by:

We added this railing when we installed Liperts Solid Step RV stairs on our 5th wheel RV. This railing works great for older campers and our younger grandkids as well. Mounted in the original location that pur previous railing mounted. Would be again....



by:

Love it and it looks great! More orders coming your way. I've been bragging on Facebook :)



by:

We love it. It is perfect for our 3 year old grandson as well as his grandparents!!!! My wife especially feels much safer going down our longer set of stairs. Arrived right away too.

A couple of things to note: on our Coachmen Catalina the bracket points did not match the factory installed folding handle that was there before so I could only use one previously used attach points. The other thing - my bad! - when I went to measure the bottom attachment I had one of the brackets not seated in a groove and thus when I drilled holes and was ready to go - the handle could not do its thing requiring me to drill another set of holes fairly close to the set I just drilled. Grrrrr. Both sets are covered by the housing and made sure they were well caulked! I just wanted to point out for others to MAKE sure the top and bottom are seated firmly before marking and drilling your holes. Again WORKS GREAT after my dufus mistake was corrected!! Thanks for another super product.

By the way the factory install handle got put on our bedroom door as it only had a solid grab handle. Left that in place and put the folding handle around it.



by:

The lend a hand replaced the regular grab bar that came with trailer being disabled the lend a hand works better than the original bar what is best about it larger or longer bar to hold onto as you go up or down the stairs the original bar does not have that the extra length. I'm really glad I put this on the trailer you won't go wrong by putting this on your trailer



by:

I bought two of these for our travel trailer. My wife has mobility issues and this has very helpful to her. They were relatively easy to install. Most trailers have very limited blocking in the wall so it is best if they can be attached at the same attachment points as the original handles. Not the same holes just the same general location.



by:

Great product easy to install.



by:

The extended handle makes entering our trailer much easier. I would especially recommend if someone has limited strength in there arm/shoulder. The installation was very easy as it used the same mounting holes as the original handle.

  • Does The Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle Fold To The Left Or Right?
    Hello Karen. The Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-533 folds to both sides. So it can be folded to the left or to the right depending on your application.

  • Recommended Hand Rail For A 2017 Jayco Jayflight SLX
    The first thing that comes to mind is a folding grab handle since it will permanently install to the side of the camper. A really good option is the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533. The handle itself is 37" tall and 25-1/2" wide so there is plenty of railing to grab on to. It can be installed on either flat or corrugated surfaces, you just want to be sure it is secured to the wood framing or a wall stud. The picture below shows one installed on a camper very similar...

  • Folding Hand Rail Recommendations for Entry Steps on 5th Wheel Trailer
    We do! We have a variety of style available but my top 3 are listed below: - MORryde Safe-T-Rail Telescoping RV Hand Rail # MR54BR - Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-800 - Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-533 I'm linking some review videos as well as our selection of hand rails for you to reference in case you want to see some other styles we carry.

  • What Are the Measurements For the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533?
    The measurements 37" tall by 25-1/2" deep are the overall height and depth of the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 when mounted on the camper. I have included an image below showing the measurements for the mounting blocks and the bolt pattern. The mounting holes are spread 23-3/4" from top to bottom on the hole centers. We do have the Lippert Entry Assist Handrail # LC799640 you may be able to use if you have the GEN 3 steps. To tell you can simply check for the mounting...

  • Replacement Springs For Stromberg Carlson Lend-a-Hand Folding Hand Rail
    We do offer the Replacement Hardware Kit # 1091 and Replacement Foam Grip with Hardware # FP-1001-R which will allow you to replace the springs on your Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533. Both kits include the bolts and springs which hold the handle to the mounting hardware. Currently the springs themselves are not available by themselves.

  • RV Step Rail Recommendation That Has Round Handle
    I would agree that a round handle for RV steps would be easier to grab and would feel more natural than a square shape. A better option for you might be the Lend A Hand Handle part # AM-533 which does have a round handle shape and has a pad for grabbing onto that helps as well.

  • Availability of a Hand Rail for MORryde Flip Tread RV Steps
    The Handrail for Second Generation 4-Step MORryde Steps # MR73AR is designed to be used with the StepAbove steps. Unfortunately this rail will not work for your MORryde Flip Tread RV Steps # MR42UR. That being said, the best solution is to add a folding handrail that attaches to the RV itself like the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-533 or the Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail # AC-544. I have attached a picture showing the # AC-544 handrail installed next to...

  • Handrail For RV With Flip Tread Steps
    We have a handrail option for you, but the MORryde hand rail won't fit the Flip Tread steps, just the StepAbove steps because the Flip Tread steps have a different type of frame to accommodate the collapsible treads. So the best option will be a hand rail that mounts directly to your RV: - Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-533 This is a large, 37" x 25-1/2" handrail that will secure directly to your RV and give you added support and stability as you make your way...

  • Mounting Hole Spacing On the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle
    The Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-533 measures 23 3/4" from the top mounting bracket to the bottom mounting bracket and the holes are spaced 1 1/8" on center. I have included a diagram showing these measurements for you to check out as well.

  • Weight Capacity of Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle
    The Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 does not have a specific weight capacity. According to Stromberg Carlson, this is only to assist and not weight bearing. Typically this is installed by driving the screws into a stud so it will be very sturdy.

  • Will Lend-a-Hand Grab Handle Require Drilling
    Trailer manufacturers don't keep records of the exact parts they have so there would really be no way to know if the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 will mount exactly inline with the existing door on your Keystone Springdale. The mounting brackets of this handle are 19-1/4" apart so you can measure where your current grab handle is to see if it has that distance. If it does not you will need to drill to install the grab handle. I have added a link to a video review...

  • Is There a Handrail Available For The Lippert SolidStep Fold-Down Steps
    I do have an option for you but the Lippert Handrail for Victory Step Manual Fold-Down Steps part # LC726866 is designed for the Victory Step fold-down steps. From your photo, it looks like you have a Lippert Solid Step like part # LC698799 and there is not a handrail available that mounts directly to the solid step. However, you can use the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs - Black with Black Foam Grip part # AM-533 which is going to attach the door frame stud and give...

    There is a handrail available that will attach directly to the Lippert StolidStep Assembly # LC791572 and it is the Lippert entry Assist Handrail # LC799640. We also have options that will attach to the trailer/RV that will work well. I recommend taking a look at the Stromberg Carlson Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-533. This 37 inch x 25-1/2 inch rail will mount to either side of your door to offer stability as you climb the steps. It features locking mechanisms that secure the...

  • Recommended Handrail for Fleetwood Bounder Motorhome
    The hand rail with the largest handle would be the Stromberg Carlson # AM-533 you'd looked at. The hand rail also features a padded handle on the lower end of the bar for a comfortable grip when you're climbing that first step. I have no way of knowing what hole spacing was used for the handrail on your motorhome, the manufacturers don't keep track of that information so there's no way to look it up. However, I've provided a photo showing how the mounting holes are spaced for you. Each...

  • Could Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 Be Prevented from Pivoting
    The folding mechanism of the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 is a spring loaded mechanism that moves up to allow it to fold to either side. If you wanted to lock this out it would be a matter of preventing the handle from moving vertically so that it can swing. We don't have a recommended way to accomplish this but I am sure it wouldn't be too difficult to pull off.

  • Hand Rail for RV with Folding Triple Step
    Since we don't know what steps you have on your RV you'd have to go with a universal style of hand rail like the Lend-a-Hand part # AM-533 which attaches to the side of the RV and folds up against it when not in use.

  • What is Purpose of Shim Kit for Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle
    The shim kit part # 5991-SM is designed to push the handle part # AM-533 out a little further from the body of the RV so that it can close around a door that sticks out further from the outer wall. So if your door closes mostly flush with your RV wall you wouldn't need the shim.

  • Mounting Bracket Separation and Hole Dimensions For Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle
    The Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 has a distance of 19.5" from the bottom of the top mounting bracket to the top of the bottom mounting bracket. It appears that the measurement Stromberg has on their site is in reference to the distance between the handle grab bar itself at 23.5". I have included images below that will show the measured distances for the mounting holes.

  • Does MORryde Have a Handrail For 3 Steps That Mounts On The Right Side Of The Steps?
    The MORryde StepAbove RV Steps # MR98RR only have provisions for mounting the Handrail # MR83AR on the left side of the steps. This is as most doors are on the passenger side and open towards the right which would cause them to contact the door. If you have a door that opens to the left I recommend using the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533. This oversized handle will extend 25-1/2" to make entering and exiting your camper easier.

  • Mounting Hole Locations on Lend-a-Hand Folding Handrail for RV
    The Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs - Black with Black Foam Grip - Aluminum # AM-533 have brackets that have three holes in each. I went out to our warehouse to measure for you and the holes from top bracket to bottom bracket are all 23-3/4 inches on center. On each bracket there are two holes vertically and they are 1-1/8 inch on center. Then there is one horizontal hole aligned with the top hole of each bracket and to the right of it which is also 1-1/8 inch on...

  • Will Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle Mounting Match Camco Short Folding Handle
    Hey Tim, thanks for the photo! The Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 probably doesn't have the exact same bolt hole placements as your current Camco Short Folding Handle, so you may have to repair some holes to ensure you don't have any leaks. Attached are some photos showing the distances between the mounting holes that you can reference and compare to what you currently have.

  • Recommended Replacement Folding Grab Handle for a 2023 Jayco Jay Flight Travel Trailer
    Well you're right, that's not normal. What likely happened is that you may have just got a defective unit and it'll just need to be replaced. I recommend checking out the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-533. This replacement handle is virtually the same as the Camco Fold-Away RV Grab Handle # CAM42175, only this is going to be made in the USA with better quality materials, is a bit larger at 37" tall x 25-1/2" wide, and is also made from powder coated Aluminum...
