• What Had Rail will Replace Mine on My 2019 Lance TT model 1985?
  Hello Mike, It looks like most of the hand rails used to be a 8 screw design, but is now a 4 screw design. I attached an image of the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle for RVs - Silver Rail with Black Foam Grip - Aluminum # AM-300 of the old design so you can see how it used to use 8 screws. The Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle for RVs - Silver Rail with Black Foam Grip - Aluminum # AM-300 you were looking at would be a great option, or we also have it in white # AM-200. When I look at...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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.

• Installing Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle on Aliner Ranger 10 without Door Studs
  The Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200 referenced in your question is a really nice solution for your Aliner Ranger 10 as long as there is enough mounting space above (or below) the line where the camper folds down. The rail features an overall height of 24 inches (outside to outside). As you mentioned since you will likely need to drill through the sidewall to install the unit you will need to obtain longer bolts and a backing plate. These components can just be found at a local...

• 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.

• Replacement RV Handle for a Northstar Truck Camper
  The most popular handle we offer that would as closely match the dimensions and mounting holes of your previous handle is the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200. This is 24 inches tall and would do a great job making it easier to get in and out of your camper. Since you said the mounting blocks used to anchor your previous handle are only 4 inches tall I would not recommend a solid handle like the # AH-150 since it is much shorter at 18-1/2 inches.

• 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...

• Installing Stromberg Carlson Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200
  The Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200 referenced in your question does require a solid underlying surface to mount to on your camper. I really can't say what might be behind the exterior surface of your Aero Cub Hybrid Camper or how far the door frame extends. You can try using a stud finder around the area you are wanting to attach the brackets or even pull away an exterior panel to find a suitable spot. In some cases longer bolts or a mounting plate is needed when a door stud...

• 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...

• What Size Screws are Used to Mount the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-200
  I spoke with my contact at Stromberg Carlson and the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle for RVs, # AM-200, uses #14 x 2 inch screws. In order to mount the handrail you will want to drill 1/8 inch pilot holes making sure that you are drilling into a solid surface. They also recommend dabbing a small amount of caulk in the pilot holes before mounting the handle. This will help to keep water out.

• 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...

• 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...

• 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).

• Recommended Location for Installing Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200 on Keystone Premier
  Installation of any new handle on a trailer, such as the Stromberg Carlson Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200 installed on your Dad's 2012 Keystone Bullet Premier, requires that there be an underlying surface strong enough to secure the mounting hardware and take some of the weight of the person pulling on the handle. Installing the Lend-a-Hand in a new position that did not have a handle before will require first checking to make sure that there is enough structural material behind...

• 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.

• 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...
