• Alternative Entry Steps for 2017 R-Pod 179
  The R-Pod 179 usually comes with a single-step pull-out stair unit like either 24-inch-wide Flexco # SMFP-1200 or the 20-inch # SMFP-1120. Both are single step assemblies but they differ in the amount of drop/rise. You may have enough ground clearance to install a different step, one that either has 2-steps to reduce the height of each step up, or one that has a better step height. You just want to ensure you do not reduce the trailer's ground clearance by installing a step assembly that...

• 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...

• Will the Lend-A-Hand AM-300 fit on my 2021 Wildcat T282RKX & Will I Need to Retrofit it?
  Hello Mike, Yes, the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-300 is a great added safety feature to any camper including your 2021 Wildcat T282RKX. The # T282RKX is installed into the door stud, the only time that it would need to be "retrofitted" is if you cannot locate the stud, at that time you would need longer screws and plates to securely attach it. You can check for the stud by using a stud finder, or by knocking on the outside to listen for the difference between the hollow...

  In order to replace the spring loaded bolts inside the plastic mounting brackets for the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-300 you will need to first remove the handle from your trailer/RV.

• 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...

• Replacement Fold Away RV Grab Handle For a Nash 23D With ITC Stow and Go Handle
  The Camco Fold-Away RV Grab Handle # CAM42176 is going to be the closest to your ITC Stow and Go handle 86472-2. The Camco is 26-3/4" from the top of the upper mounting bracket to the bottom of the lower bracket against the wall. The ITC is 27-1/4" from the top of its upper mounting bracket to the bottom of the lower mounting bracket. The Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-300 that you found is only 24" tall overall so one set of mounting holes would need to be patched.

• Removable Handrail Compatible with Lippert Solid Step # LC678027
  The SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps # LC791575 does not have a handrail that is available as an add on part. However, you may want to consider using the Aluminum Hand Rail for 4 Step Scissor Stair # AHR4 that will give you a 43 inch removable handrail. You will need to determine how to attach it to the steps as it is designed for the scissor steps. I've attached a video to assist. Your other option is to use a folding handle that may be longer than your current RV handle. For this...

• How High Do You Place The Top Of The Handle For the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-300?
  The Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-300 does not require a specific height where it must be mounted. Typically you will mount the top handle just above the door handle or in place of the upper mounting holes on your factory grab handle. This will help to reduce any visible holes after the new handle is installed. I recommend also checking with how the handle feels going out of the camper and down the steps as this is generally when the handle is most important. You want to be able...

• Will SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps Fit a 2014 Keystone Laredo
  1: Thank You! We appreciate the comments about our site. 2: If you have a 30" to 36" inch opening then you could certainly use steps # LC791575 but for 26" to 29-7/8" use # LC791574 . 3: I am confident the steps will work with little to no modification of the steps or the RV. 4: There isn't an LED light option for these particular steps. That is something you normally see on powered RV steps but not the manual ones. 5: There are handles that can mount to the RV but not to the steps....

• Recommended Lippert SolidStep 4-Step Model for 5th Wheel Trailer 29-3/8 Inch Inside Door Measurement
  Based on the RV door measurements you provided, I recommend going with the Lippert SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps # LC791574. This particular 4-Step model is designed for 26" to 29-7/8" wide RV doors but it will work with the slightly larger dimensions you mentioned, as it features an adjustable flange that will allow it to fit just fine.

• Can the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle for RVs AM-300 be Set to Swing One-Way Only
  Stromberg and Carlson didn't have pranksters in mind when they made the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-300. They designed it to be easily installed on either side of your RV door with the 4 screws that are included. It does not come with a way to lock one side, so it will continue to be able to adjust either way once it is installed.

• How Do I Access the Internals of the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle, part # AM-300
  I went out and pulled a Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle For RVs, part # AM-300, from our warehouse. I took it out of the packaging and found that the only way you can access the internal pieces is to have the # AM-300 removed from your RV. The backside of the mounting bracket is open and you can easily access the internals of the handle once it is removed from your RV. While I was inspecting the # AM-300 I came to the conclusion that the most likely reason your handle would not lock...

• Can The Lend-a-Hand Folding Handle for RV, # AM-300, Fit On Both A Right Hand And Left Hand Door
  The Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle for RV, # AM-300, is designed for a right hand door that will open left to right. I called the manufacturer (Stromberg-Carlson) and they said that because of the design of the hinge with the spring actuator in the middle of the hinge that allows you to fold the handle, the mounting holes had to be offset to one side. They said that the right hand door was used more on RVs than a left hand door. It can be used on a left hand door application, but if you...

• Will Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle Mount to Camper With Right to Left Opening Door
  I walked out to our warehouse to look at part # AM-300, and found that it will fold in either direction so that you can use it on a door that opens left to right, or from right to left like your door opens. The mounting screws are offset because there is a spring actuator inside the plastic that is directly in the middle that allows you to fold the handle. The Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle, part # AM-300 will work on your Lance Pickup Camper with door that opens from right to left.

• How Does Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-300 Attach to Travel Trailer Typically
  The mounting brackets on the Lend-a-Hand part # AM-300 have mounting holes that allow you to run either the included screws through or if you needed to come up with a better nut and bolt setup based on the application you can do that as well. You will need a flat surface for this to mount to though. Aside from that it really can be made to fit most applications.

  If you are replacing an existing handle to install the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-300 on your camper then you will indeed have a couple of pre-drilled holes leftover that can be easily cleaned up.
