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.
by: Tim 03/05/2024
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: Paul N03/13/2024
Very easy to replace the existing handle with this. Makes entering and exiting the trailer much safer.
by: Jon 02/14/2024
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: Richard10/23/2023
Everything lined up and took all of 15 minutes to remove old and install new.

Replaced a broken smaller version. This is nice and bolted right in.
by: Kirk 10/31/2023
Installation was a breeze. Product enhances safety and looks good too.
by: Robert 07/24/2023
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.

Great product easy to install.
by: Dan02/02/2019
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: Ernie 06/29/2023
Much better handle than stock for my wife who has had a hip and knee replacement.
by: Sheri 03/21/2023
Love this extra large grab handle. I'm short so getting up in our RV was a challenge for me to reach the handle the rig came with. This larger one will solve that problem.
by: John T04/13/2019
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: Lonn06/08/2023
Much improvement with etrailer since 2020. Responsive and helpful!
by: Robert 06/07/2023
I’ll tell you tomorrow when I install it on the trailer
by: Doug 07/27/2020
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: Dick 07/29/2023
It is going to be real helpful
by: Dayna10/25/2017
Love it and it looks great! More orders coming your way. I've been bragging on Facebook :)
by: Jim06/14/2020
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: John T.07/08/2019
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: Gene 08/04/2020
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: John04/04/2022
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: Dan 06/14/2023
works great
by: Richard07/18/2019
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.
by: Sheila 04/11/2023
It saves a lot of falls....Awesome prod uct!!

- Replacement Springs For Stromberg Carlson Lend-a-Hand Folding Hand RailWe 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.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Folding Grab Handle for a 2023 Jayco Jay Flight Travel TrailerWell 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...
view full answer... - Folding Hand Rail Recommendations for Entry Steps on 5th Wheel TrailerWe 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.
view full answer... - Does Lippert SolidStep Have a Handle Available?If you were referring to a handrail, there is one available that would work with the Lippert SolidStep # LC791572. The handrail # LC799640 is made specifically for these steps. The Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-533 mounts to the side of your RV door, locks when in use and locks again in the stowed position when it is not in use. I've added a link to a video review of this handrail for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Recommended Hand Rail for Electric Steps on RVThe TorkLift GlowGuide Handrail # TLA7621 referenced in your question is designed to work with TorkLift scissor step assemblies. It can technically be used on assemblies from other manufacturers, but you will not be able to physically attach the handrail to the steps. This is because the handrail will use mounting brackets specific to the TorkLift step design. In order to use this with the electric steps on your Holiday Rambler RV, you would likely need to extend the vertical rail down...
view full answer... - Hand Rail for RV with Folding Triple StepSince 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.
view full answer... - What is Purpose of Shim Kit for Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab HandleThe 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.
view full answer... - Will Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle Clear Awning Arm When StowedThe Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 is 25-1/2" wide so it will cover that distance on the side of your 2016 Fleetwood Storm when folded down. You won't have any problems clearing the awning arm when you stow the handle for travel. This will fold on top of the door so it will lay flat without hitting the awning arm.
view full answer... - Diameter of Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab HandleI went out to the warehouse and found that the diameter of the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 is right at 0.99". We actually carry the Foam Grip Wrap for Lend-a-Hand Grab Handles # FP-1002-R that you can use for this application! Attached are review videos you can check out as well.
view full answer... - Is There a Handrail Available for the Solid Step XF RV StepsI have a different solution for you, but I contacted the manufacturer and there is currently no handrail available for the XF series of steps. You could use the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-533. This has a more universal fit because it will attach to your RV, opposed to the steps.
view full answer... - Will Lend-a-Hand Grab Handle Require DrillingTrailer 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...
view full answer... - Mounting Hole Spacing On the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab HandleThe 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.

- Handrail For RV With Flip Tread StepsWe 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...
view full answer... - Replacement Lend a Hand Handle for 2015 Forest River Cherokee 16BHS Camper TrailerYes, the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-533 that you referenced will fit your 2015 Forest River Cherokee 16BHS. The mounting bracket dimensions will be the same as what you have since this was designed to be as universal as possible and fit that standard bracket dimensions on RVs that is 19-1/4 inches apart. The extra dip in the handle will also be easier for kids to reach. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Hand Rail For A 2017 Jayco Jayflight SLXThe 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...

- Does Stromberg Carlson Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle AM-533 Include HardwareThe Stromberg Carlson Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 does include four mounting screws for installation on an RV door stud. The handle can mount on either side of a door but it folds in only one direction (toward the rear of the RV when mounted on the passenger side).
view full answer... - Can TorkLift GlowGuide Handrail be Used with Other Brand Scissor Steps The TorkLift GlowGuide Handrail # TLA7621 referenced in your question is designed specifically for the TorkLift scissor step assemblies. I spoke with my contact at TorkLift and he said that this unit can technically be used with other brand units, but you will not be able to physically attach the handrail to the steps. This is because the handrail uses mounting brackets that are specific to the TorkLift step design. In order to use this with your existing scissor steps, you will likely...
view full answer... - Handrail Recommendation for Use with SolidStep RV SystemSince the SolidStep RV Steps fold up into the interior of the camper you'd need to use a hand rail that attaches to only the outside of the camper like the Stromberg # AM-533. This folds out when needed and would work great. The # AP-101 wouldn't work with a SolidStep.
view full answer... - Replacement Exterior Folding Handrail for 2015 Grand Design 385TH Toy HaulerRV makers don't keep track of items such as the door railings that they install on their trailers but since the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 can fold in either direction it should work great for your Grand Design 385TH toy hauler. The distance between the mounting brackets is 19-1/4-inches so you can compare this to your handle mounts. If you cannot find a door stud for mounting you can locally source long bolts and a plate to provide a secure mounting point. Four...
view full answer... - Handrails and Steps That Will Improve Handicap Access Into a Pull Behind Camper. Yes, something like the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 can replace the original grab handle to make it easier to get in and out. The best thing would be to replace the steps with some like the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear # TLA8003. These steps are designed to telescope all the way to the ground(door height of 25-1/2" - 36"), which makes the first step solid versus the bounce that you will normally feel with retractable steps. You can...
view full answer... - Availability of a Hand Rail for MORryde Flip Tread RV StepsThe 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...

- Recommended Handrail for Use with Lippert SolidStep AssemblyThere 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...
view full answer... - Is There a Hand Rail Available for MORryde Flip Tread StepsMORryde does not offer a hand rail for the Flip Tread Steps like the part # MR42UR so you'd need to use a folding hand rail that attaches to the RV like with the Lend-A-Hand part # AM-533.
view full answer... - Is There a Handrail Available For The Lippert SolidStep Fold-Down StepsI 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...
