Video Transcript for Review of Stromberg Carlson - RV and Camper Steps - AM-01

Today we're going to take a quick look at the DuraGrip replacement soft rubber grip for one inch diameter handrail. This is going to be an easy way to replace that foam grip on your handrail with a nice plastic and rubber grip.So these are just going to snap together around your handrail, and provide you that good grip to get in and out of your RV, or maybe put on your ladder to get up and down from the roof.Basically, the way it works is we'll have three plastic strips, or tape strips to go around the circumference of our handrail. These are going to provide grip for our grip itself so it doesn't slide up and down on that railing.So you're just going to put these horizontally around your handrail. Something like that. And you want to make sure that these are spaced three and a half inches apart, which should line up with those clip points on our grip.Once you have those in place, you can snap this together around it, and whenever those are going around a tube that's an inch in diameter, it actually grips really well. Right now it kind of springs apart, but I tried it on something ...

on one of the tripods we actually have here in the studio, and it worked pretty well going around that.And then once you have that gripped around, you can use the two zip ties. One at the top, and one at the bottom. Something I like about the zip ties that they include with this is that they're a little bit different design than the typical ones you get. A lot of times those are going to go through and kind of come out at an angle, and they leave a little gap of space. These are actually going to slide in in this direction, so they're going to lay flat whenever you have them tightened down.

So that's kind of cool. Makes it a little bit tighter grip. Of course, if you have to adjust your handrail, maybe move it somewhere else, you can always replace those with different, or your typical, zip ties, but I like the design of those.So you do want to kind of make sure that you get these in the right spot the first time since you probably won't be able to take off that tape strip and replace it. It seems like something that's going to stick really well the first time, but if you try to take it off, it might tear or just not have the same sort of adhesive properties. So be careful whenever you're placing this.

It just needs to be in a nice area that's going to be nine inches long, since that's how long our grip is itself. So you can see there.The overall outer diameter of that is going to be about two inches wide at the widest point of our hand grip there. And these are going to be made of, again, a plastic and rubber construction. The plastic is going to be that gray part. The black is going to be rubber.

And these are going to be rot resistant, and provide you a nice long lasting, durability. They just snap in together. And that rubber is going to have a good, soft grip. So it's firm enough that you don't have to worry about your hand sliding anywhere, but it gives you a nice ergonomic hold for getting in and out of your RV.Again, these are going to fit pretty much any tube that has a one inch diameter. So whether you're using it on your RV, your other vehicle, or a boat, it's going to work out really well. You just need to have that nine inches of space to get that in place. And this does come with a two year warranty.That's going to do it for our look at the DuraGrip replacement soft rubber grip for one inch diameter handrail.
