Get some balance in your life with this heavy-duty folding rail for RVs, portable restrooms or support vehicles. The stainless steel grab handle can assist you going up the stairs and offers some stability while you are stepping down.Our original aluminum factory handrail was yanked off by the storage company employees. We ordered this new stainless steel one from etrailer.com. The original had 4 screw holes. This new one had three. Only one screw hole lined up with the new handrail. My husband had to drill the additional two holes. He said that the included screws were 3 inches which would be too long for most RVs. One of the best features of this new model is that there is a lock so the handle can not be placed against the door with you inside by pranksters. Photos - damaged origianl handrail and installed new handrail.
The folding handrail was installed in 2023 and has functioned exactly as expected. Although I weigh more than 200lbs, as long as I don't hang on it like monkey bars, swinging my legs in the air, it has held up just fine.
Only thing that was an issue was the fact that I did not notice the need for that 1/8” space next to trim for the cover to fit. I also feared running those 3” screws all the way through the wall so I picked up some 2 1/2 inch pan heads to use. Far cry from the garbage handrail that comes factory. I slipped on step and snapped the plastic stops right off on the original.
The had rail was just the thing to replace the small old one. The new one installed easily and has a great sold feel when entering and exiting the trailer also when you fold it closed over the door you can lock it into place for extra security!
I was impressed with the quality of the product! I didn't expect the machined blocks, they are so solid. Delivery time beat expectations. Thanks for a great job!
The rail is installed on my horse trailer and ready for camping this weekend.
The trailer handle is just what we wanted. Even though it was more expensive then other handles, the quality is what we were looking for. It's heavy duty and we are happy we found this one after looking at others.
Simple installation. Very satisfied!!!

Handrail holding up very well. Went through the AZ summer heat very well! Would not hesitate to recommend to others.
Easy installation and strong
Bought this to use in a semi-permanent install at the back stairs of a house with 3 steps and 3.5' rise ground to back door. Needed something for 90yr old mother to help get up stairs and this works great. Mounted blocks on to wooden siding with one set of vertical holes picking up an interior stud with 6" long hex head wood screws, the other set of holes using 2.5" screws into just the siding. Replaced spring loaded mechanism with SS bolt hardware and 2" diameter fender washers / locking nuts. Now it is solid but still can be taken off house leaving blocks behind for painting. Aluminum and stainless materials should last for years. Only question is how long foam piece lasts, but guess there are things to use if needed. Most excellent.

As mentioned it is installed on the back door of house vs a trailer application. Materials are holding up well, with the use of aluminum and stainless steel expect it to last for 20yrs. Even the rubber hand grip has not deteriorated although only seeing sun a couple hours a day seems like that will last 10yrs. Assume rubber will be first to go so just would use bicycle handlebar padded tape to replace if that day ever arrives. Quality product.
Thank you for making such a fine product, I installed it on a brick wall for a friend who will use it for added security when climbing the step to her back door entering her kitchen ,she is elderly and recently had back surgery and needed something to support her when asending and desending the steps to her home. Thanks again. C.W.Hartsell

Great I installed another one at another entrance
Excellent product, the fit and finish are of the highest quality. After a year of continuous use the handrail has been without flaw. It is very well built and far surpasses the other choices for holding handrails. Not one speck of rust and mounting materials supplied were exactly as needed.

No issues, no rust, no problems at all.
Excellent handrail! We actually use it in our garage for safety and support where we have 3 steps down in entering the garage from the kitchen. It swings out of the way when we want to bring a large object into the kitchen through the garage.

Great! We use it for safety every time we take the steps from our kitchen to the garage as well as the reverse.
Far superior product; much better than its plastic counter part the fittings are solid billet aluminum and the stainless grab bar looks great. After installing it, I’m confident it should last a lifetime.
The mount screw spacing is right-on vertically but be aware you will have to drill two holes on both mount fittings horizontally. However you will be happy with the finished product.

Perfect, solid as when first installed!
This is Heavy Duty. Love the all aluminum blocks, no more pulling screws through cheap plastic. The stainless steel handle is never going to fail. I suppose at some point I person might wear out the foam handle, but, that is going to take a Long Time.

This thing is still perfect. Very good purchase. It will be on the camper long after I am done with it.
Just received the handle so don't how it will perform. It looks great though with cast aluminum mounts and the handle itself seems to be real stainless rather than the cheaper anodized aluminum others advertise as "stainless steel". Well worth the extra cost. Best, Johnny

It is still working. Hangs on the side of the trailer, folds out when needed. Helps old persons up and down. Would buy again AAA product.
Quality built. Much more substantial than your standard RV handrail. Easy install
This is the best built folding handrail out there. Extremely sturdy and very well made.
Well worth spending the extra money. It fit our Cameo fifth wheel's original holes perfectly without having to drill new holes. We added the shims that etrailer sells and that made the fit dead on. I highly recommend this folding handle.
The original handrails were made with plastic bases which broke when the handhold was grabbed. Very dangerous. I replaced both handrails with these which have metal bases which are very sturdy and much safer. I recommend these handrails.
The product was top quality ,the grab bar is stainless the brackets are a solid block of aluminum
Installation was easy,and it's rock solid
Our class A motorhome is very tall it has 3 steps to enter and this bar will make it safer to enter and exit our rig
Etrailer ROCKS the service was top notch,I will purchase from them in the future God Bless,Tom
This is a quality piece. Real stainless steel and not aluminum or plastic. Rated for 200 pounds. Nice to know we have a margin in case we need it to hold on.
Good price and was shipped really fast.

Excellent, quality product
Nice hand rail I had to add support wood in my wall old truck camper added security to my door with the locks
We bought this handle after the manufacturer installed handle on our camper broke off while using. After a year, this handle has held up to a lot of use. It is much higher quality than the original, using stainless steel rather than plastic parts. We are very happy with our purchase.
We love our new folding handrails. We love the fact that they lock given we were having trouble with our front door opening while we were driving. This solves that problem and gives us peace of mind. Super easy to install.
This is a nice heavy duty handle. The brackets are all stainless steal and won't break like the plastic ones do. My only complaint is it came with no instructions. While it is not rocket science to install you have to make sure that the brackets are square and in line with one another or else the handle will not seat correctly. I need to make some adjustments to mine to get it working better. I think it is well worth the extra money over the plastic alternative, which I had and broke.
Great product, easy to install. Drastically improve the safety of entry and exit from trailer. And adds a bit of extra security to unit when your away. Great value for the money spent.

The handrail is GREAT! I would recommend it to anyone who wants to upgrade their original handrail. The rail is sturdy. And, although I can not imagine it, I do appreciate that this rail can not lock us inside the RV by jokesters. That image could keep me up nights. Two thumbs up.
