• Can the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200 be Mounted to an Aluminum Surface
  You can use the included screws to mount Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200 to the aluminum mounting surface. Or, if the aluminum surface is thin or otherwise not strong enough by itself for just 4 screws then you can use bolts and nuts obtained locally along with a backing plate to secure the handle. You would put the bolts through the mounting holes, through the aluminum surface, and through the backing plates and then thread on and tighten the nuts. The backing plates will disperse...

• TorkLIft Glow Steps for 2014 Lance 1995
  The TorkLIft # TLA8102 will be a good fit for your trailer if the "Entry Height" is between 18-1/2" and 28" and the Mounting Bracket width is no more than 25-1/2". To determine Entry Height, measure from the ground up to the top of the the bracket frame that held the old steps. The product page has a picture showing how to measure. Then, determine the "Mounting Bracket Width". If your mounting bracket is no more than 25-1/2" wide then the # TLA8102 is a fit. If you have different measurements...

• Troubleshooting Stromberg Lend a Hand That is Loose in the Mounts
  If the spring loaded handle of the Lend-a-Hand part # AM-200 is loose in the mounts there really isn't a way to tighten or fix that since it's a spring setup that's not replaceable. What you'd need to do is replace the entire handle.

• How to Install the Lend-A-Hand with a Backing Plate
  Installing the Lend-A-Hand # AM-200 using a backing plate would disperse the force across a wider area than if simply installed using bolts into the metal/fiberglass panels, so spreading that weight across a larger area is how you avoid damaging the wall. If you can't locate a door stud to install this into, your best bet would be to use a backing plate that was larger than the area that you're installing the handle to; this unit is 24" tall, so I'd recommend using a plate that was at least...

• Could Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle Lock You in RV
  Your concern about being potentially trapped inside your RV is certainly a valid one, and also a common one with the Stromberg Carlson Lend-a-Hand. While there isn't a way to easily stop it from pivoting across the front of the door, there truly is nothing to worry about here as it will not trap you inside your RV. If some mean individual did try and do that to you for some reason, all you would need to do is push your door open and the handle will flip back into place without issue. I...

• How to Tighten Up a Loose Lend-a-Hand RV Handle # AM-200
  If the black base to the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-200 is loose it sounds like you will need to tighten the two screws that attach the handrail to your trailer. The screws will be phillips head screws and with a phillips screwdriver you should have no problem tightening up the # AM-200. Check out the picture I attached to see where the screw holes are.

• Where is the Best Place to Install Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200
  The answer is wherever works best for you! Generally the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200 is mounted on the exterior wall of an RV or trailer right next to the door opening. If you have a door that opens outward then you will want to place it on the side opposite of the door hinges. Otherwise you will not be able to use the handle when you open the door. I included a picture from another customer showing where they installed it

• How To Determine If There Is Backing Needed to Mount the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle
  Generally speaking, there will be sufficient backing directly beside the door on your trailer so that you can effectively secure the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle part # AM-200. If you push on the metal exterior that should then give you a good idea where the supports are located. If you need to be exact though then you would have to reach out to Jayco as this is not information we have available.

• Clearance Between Surface and Handle of Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle for RVs
  I measured the brackets of the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-200 and found from the surface to the edge where the handle locks is approximately 1-5/16". Since you measured your awning support and it is 1-3/8" then you will be fine using a single 1/4" Shim for Stromberg Carlson Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handles for RVs # 5991-SM.

• 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...

• Where to Mount the Stomberg Carlson Lend a Hand on a Trailer
  I would mount the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200 on your trailer wherever would put it in the most convenient location for you. Most likely this would be the handle you would grab over the current one on your trailer so if you wanted to mount it over it you would be just fine.

• Where Should Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200 be Installed on Trailer
  The mounting location of the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200 really just boils down to personal preference. Most people install the mounting brackets as close to the door frame as possible though that they have an easier time reaching the handle (see attached picture).

• Will the Replacement Hardware Kit for Stromberg Carlson Lend-A-Hand Fit Other Grab Handles
  The Replacement Hardware Kit for Stromberg Carlson Lend-A-Hand and Mini Lend-A-Hand Grab Handles for RVs part # 1091 is an exact replacement part for the Stromberg Carlson Lend-A-Hand and Mini Lend-A-Hand grab handles as the title states, it is not really a retro-fit type of product so I am not sure I would have much advice on how to do so. However, I can confirm that the grab handle this kit is designed to work with has a 1" diameter. That said, the best option for you would be to just...

• Distance Between the Mounting Brackets on the Lend-a Hand Folding Grab Handle
  I went out into our warehouse and measured the distance between the mounting brackets and found the distance to be 19-1/4 inches. Check out the video and picture I attached to see this measurement. The mounting brackets themselves measure 3-7/8 inches tall. Using nuts, bolts and washers to install the # AM-200 would work very well as an installation procedure.

• Preventing the Lend a Hand Folding Handle From Folding In and Blocking the Trailer Door
  That is a pretty cruel prank someone could pull, and dangerous. You would need to either prevent the handle from being folded towards the door by blocking the path or secure the handle so it sticks out all the time. Since you would need to fold it in while traveling, the first method is the way to go. You would do something as simple as inserting a small screw or something else adjacent to where the handle pivots on the door side so it cannot be put in that location. I have incldued a...

• Recommended Grab Handle For Opus Trailer with 14 Available Space by the Door
  I may have a solution for you, but the Replacement Hardware Kit for Stromberg Carlson Lend-A-Hand and Mini Lend-A-Hand Grab Handles for RVs # 1091 is designed to fit the Lend-a-Hand # AM-200 model grab handle and only those handles. You might be able to retrofit it to something else but that wouldn't be something we would have knowledge of. With that said, I recommend just using something like the Assist Handle for RV Entry Door - Chrome Plated # 3729482-000-023, which will attach to...

• Fitment of Stromberg-Carlson Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle on Grooved Trailer Siding
  The Stromberg-Carlson Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200, is a universal fit item and is generally up to the installer to figure out how to best attach the handle. Typically, on newer trailers there is a wood support behind the framing of the trailer on the left side. It sounds like you may have a vintage trailer with the grooved frame. If this is the case then you will want to check for the wood, because it may not span the entire door frame. To accommodate the grooves you may...

• Availability of Replacement Grip for Stromberg Carlson Lend-a-Hand Folding Grip Handle # AM-200
  Our friends at Stromberg Carlson do not offer a replacement foam grip for the grab handle you mentioned. The good news is that the foam grip is the same type that is used on bike handlebars. The foam tube is an off-the-shelf item that you should be able to find at your local bike repair shop. Getting the foam tube on the handle is a little tricky, but spraying some aerosol hair spray on the metal tubing will act as a lubricant allowing the foam tube to be worked into the desired position....

• Installing Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle on Ridged RV Siding
  The Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200 referenced in your question is a universal fit item that just requires installation to a strong enough underlying surface behind the RV outer wall. I went out to the warehouse to take some measurements of the mounting hardware. The actual mounting brackets measure 2-5/16 inches wide x 3-7/8 inches in height. I recommend measuring the space between the raised portions of your siding to see if the brackets will fit between them and onto a flat...
