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.

faster delivery than expected and arrived in pristine shape. Perfect fit as a replacement and comes with attaching screws that fit. Handle replaced a handle that was caught and bent. Works well and is strong and sturdy when extended and fits tightly against the door when folded in.

Works like a charm, easy to install, 6 screws. 62 yr old woman installed. Got a great price when buying. Highly recommend.

Like the product. It was easy to install. After install I did add a Broom gripper to Hold it when retracted. It felt like it was a little shaky/ I added the gripper so it wouldn't scratch the trailer. When we are using it, it works well. Another problem I have with it, the screw holes do not have caps. the screws are exposed, and I feel that water will get in.

Just as described. Easy install with basic tools

Fit good and sturdy

Purchase this item from my father who has a hard time getting in and out of his trailer. Easy install and he loves it! Highly recommended.

Looks really good and a lot more handle to use. Had to shorten the vertical pieces but was easy to modify.
