This product is well made and very sturdy. I would have given it a 5 star if it came with instructions. This handrail should aid my wife getting in and out of our motorhome, she had a stroke years ago and has a balance problem. The only thing I don't like is etrailer lowered the price $31 after I received my order, bad timing.

Great product, well built. If you live in a sunny location, I recommend buying a cover for it as it gets hot in the sun.

Received it today and installed it on my 2015 Grand Design Solitude,Installed easily, Only thing I didn't like was if a bar was installed between lower and upper arms like the non-locking ones would make folding it easier, a little to much flex one handed, and would be nice if they did rail padding like on stock rail

The only problem we had was in this West Texas heat it got HOT. To eliminate this, I put a cover that helps grip and absorbs the heat so problem solved. I love the locks. I use the bottom lock as I can reach it standing on the ground. Locks match the door lock.

Arrived quickly, it was easy to install because it fit perfectly in the drilled holes for the original handle on our Rockwood Signature Ultralite. The children (and other vertically challenged people) are able to use the rail safely and easily to navigate the stairs. It would have five stars except that there is no grip. The handle is smooth. This is okay when it is dry but it becomes slick when it is wet. We are still happy and satified with the purchase. It works great for the most part.

etrailer is always quick with shipments, the handrail arrived a day earlier than estimated. It fit the original brackets on my 5th wheel, so no extra holes in the wall. If the original composite brackets don't withstand the additional leverage I can always convert to the brackets provided.

I installed this longer handrail because my wife had taken a fall with the old handrail. We really like the additional length. It is working great, still on the original composite brackets.

This is a very sturdy hand rail. Easy to install. Worth the few extra dollars for the stainless steel and thicker tubing.

This handrail is the best accessory. We used our trailer about 4 months and access has been easier and safer. Love the lower loop that keeps you steady all the way down.

@Charles It's amazing how something as trivial (for the lack of a better word) as a handle can make things so much easier! Glad you are so happy with it, Charles! What kind of trailer did you install this on?

We don't actually use these on an RV, we use them in the garage. We've installed them next to the three step staircases that lead from the garage to the kitchen and from the garage to the back storage room. (We just installed them on one side of the stairs -- the same side as the door handles.) They are very solid since we were able to screw the mounting blocks into the studs for the doorways. It was nice not having to try to drive any anchors into the concrete floor since they mount on the wall as opposed to a traditional stair rail. We also like the idea that we can fold them out of the way if we need to get a large item through the door or any other time a traditional railing would get in the way.

It didn't have any instructions on how to assemble the brackets that bolt to the trailer . springs nuts washers with no instructions on how they went. I was able to use my original brackets after I ran my drill through the old bracket and new handle in position. It is a great addition to our trailer. It is really nessasry for 5th wheel with 4 steps.

I am very happy with my new hand rail. I received it quickly from etrailer and put it on my 5th wheel. The original railing had 4 screws attaching it so I had to drill 4 additional holes. Everything needed was in kit. Very simple. The entire installation took less than 10 minutes. It works great with my 4 step entry. Looks great too.

I ordered two of these last year and mounted one outside the door and one inside the door of our motorhome. They are priceless! Because of these my 83 year old grandmother can travel in her motorhome with family again. She was having trouble getting in & out, until I installed these awesome grab bars. They installed very easily & securely, folds away perfectly when driving, excellent stainless steel durability, great design, can't recommend them enough. I am very happy with them to say the least. Giving the confidence & freedom of independence to travel again has been priceless to my grandmother & family.

This is a lifesaver for older campers. I am able to reach the handle without reaching up so high. It also gives me much better grip to pull myself up the steps. Do not feel like I am going to loose my balance. Number 1 on my list.

Bought this for my mother who is elderly and my sister who has MS. They needed a hand rail that would fasten to the wall and could move out of the way when we needed to move something in and out the door. This worked perfectly! It is designed for a motor home or travel trailer, but worked perfectly in the garage of my mothers home. She did not want to drill holes in the concrete to mount a traditional rail so this worked great. I had to fasten a block to the wall because the mounting bracket was to wide for a standard stud. I mounted a block across 2 studs and mounted this to the blocks. Well made and fairly sturdy. Much sturdier than the aluminum and plastic block one on my travel trailer.

This hand rail was even better quality than expected. Local rv dealers should learn to carry quality instead of the cheap stuff they might even sell some. This was even well priced for the quality. I will never need another one. My wife loves the better length access as well. Extremely pleased with all portions of the sale including follow up.

Great addition. Only problem was the hardware. Should have been stainless steel. The galvanized steel bolts react w/ alumimnium. Added a backing plate

My wife recently had hip surgery and coming down the four steps from our Toy Hauler made her uneasy as the stock hand rail was not long enough.
Installed with ease in about 20 minutes.
4 of the 8 existing holes lined up but that was not an issue as the screws provided we self taping and long enough to provide a solid install.
Had my wife try exiting and re-entering the rig and she really likes this rail...feels very sold and safe.
Seems well build and looks great!
Really like that it folds back for travel like the original...
Good investment/addition
Also, I really appreciate the ease of the order process and followup by a rep with customer service...
The only thing so far that would make this even better would be a rubber grip the entire length...like what comes on the standard rail supplied by the OEM.
That said we have ordered some rubber wrapping from E-Trailer...

Was easy to install no drilling on our Montana 5th wheel ,same manufacturer as the original handrail so same screw hole pattern just unscrew old one and install. bingo done
Wife has put her stamp of approval on it as she is unsteady on her feet and this one has a longer extension so she is able to grasp it on her way up the stairs sooner

Fit perfect without drilling new holes. This handrail replaces an ITC unit that the plastic catch locks broke off of. The all aluminum brackets are a good upgrade.

Well made and all of the parts were on the package. Free shipping was fast and it was well boxed, with no damage. I am actually using it in the residential setting. Has a lot of different applications besides travel trailers.

- Mounting Hole Spacing For Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail AC-530Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out. The mounting holes on the Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail # AC-530 are approximately 23-3/4" apart on center. Based on the measurement you provided, it sounds like you'll need to drill a new set of holes in order to mount the rail.
view full answer... - Purpose of Third Mounting Screw/Hole on Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail for RVsHey Bryan! The third screw and mounting hole on your Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail for RVs # AC-530 is strictly for OEM use and requires a backing or washer/plate. You do not need to use it when installing the rail on your trailer. See the picture below. What kind of trailer do you have?
view full answer... - Recommended Handrail for Fleetwood Bounder MotorhomeThe 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...

- MORryde Safe-T-Rail - How Tall Is The Portion That Attaches To The Wall Of The Coach?Hey Bob I got in touch with my contact am MORryde and they sent me a dimensional drawing of the MORryde Safe-T-Rail # MR54BR. The drawing indicates that the portion that attaches to the wall of the camper is 52.2" tall overall. This is including the secondary mount bracket, which ships loose with the assembly. The dimensional drawing you see on our web page (also pictured below) does not show the fully assembled rail, but the rail without the secondary mount bracket attached (see top right...

These hand rails bolt on to the wall stud of your coach and includes the hardware. I recommend the Foam Grip Wrap for Lend-a-Hand Grab Handles for RVs # FP-1002-R to...

- What are the Dimensions of the Camco RV Handle # CAM42175 when Folded Outward from the Trailer?The dimensions of the Camco Fold-Away RV Grab Handle - Aluminum - Black # CAM42175 when folded outward is 14-1/4 inches from the side of the trailer. For a handle that extends to at least 21 inches, I recommend the Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail for RVs # AC-530. The Stromberg Carlson handrail gives you 23.9 inches of length from your trailer's side. In addition, the handrail has the same folding capability as the Camco Fold-Away handle.
view full answer... - Handle for Horse Trailer for Easier to Get In and Out ofHardware is not provided with the Easy Grip Assist Handle # PLR6612-A since most applications are unique enough that one set of hardware would not fit every application well. You would not need a gasket setup either. Another option you might like is a larger folding handle like the Stromberg Carlson part # AC-530 which is much bigger. I attached an install video for this as well.
view full answer... - Removable Handrail Compatible with Lippert Solid Step # LC678027The 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...
view full answer... - Stromberg Carlson Folding HandRail Recommendation for RV with Triple StepFor a triple step the better suited hand rail option is the part # AC-530 which is 38 inches tall. The part # AC-544 would be a bit too tall and would not be ideal.
view full answer... - Replacement Hardware for Stromberg Carlson Folding RV HandrailThe hardware for the Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail # AC-530 is no longer available as a kit. You would have to purchase the entire kit. If you will be drilling and mounting into a stud you will only need the correct screws which are as follows. (6) #14 x 3” Phillips head mounting screws, (2) #8-32 x 3/8” pan head screws for securing mounting bracket covers.
view full answer... - Installation and Hardware for Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail for RVsThe Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail for RVs, # AC-530 is a complete kit, it has the needed mounting hardware. The rail and mounting hardware are not sold separately. To install, you must make sure that the rail's mounting blocks are positioned in front of a wall stud or the blocking behind the door.
view full answer... - Extended Handrail For Trailer That is Longer Than 18 InchesHey Kari, You can add a longer handlebar for your trailer to more safely traverse the stairs, and what I like is Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail for RVs # AC-530. The handrail extends out 24 inches from the sidewall, so you're getting an added 6 inches from what you currently have.
view full answer... - Replacement Handrail-Only for Stromberg Carlson RV Handrail AssemblyWe do offer a replacement handrail # SP5110-HR from Stromberg Carlson for their Econo Porch Trailer Steps # EHS-102-R and # EHS-102-R-HR. We also offer complete handrail kits # AC-530 (a 38-inch folding handrail) and # AC-544 (a 45-inch folding handrail) which include mounting hardware.
view full answer... - SolidStep Fold Out Steps For 2013 Coachman Chaparral 5th WheelSince your door way width at the narrowest point is 30” and your entry height is between 35” to 44”, then the Lippert # LC791575 Solid Step is the best fit. With bigger steps you may want to consider a bigger hand rail support. The Stromberg Carlson # AC-530 Folding Handrail is the perfect solution. It is easy to install and is very strong. When you install the SolidStep it will just be natural to remove the old rattle-bang stock steps that came on your trailer. The Lippert # LC664640...
view full answer... - Does The Stromberg Carlson AC-530 Hand Rail Come With Metal Or Plastic Mounting Blocks?The Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail for RVs # AC-530 will come with hardened plastic mounting blocks. This does not by any means suggest weakness though, and they are rated up to 200 pounds. These mounting blocks are also lockable, which is a very nice feature.
view full answer... - Replacement Handrail for Winnebago Sightseer Class AThe Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail # AC-530 could be used as a replacement for the handle on your 2007 Winnebago Sightseer Class A, and if you've already got a similar Stromberg Carlson handle on your coach it's likely that this is a direct replacement. We don't have a database that tells us if parts like this were used on your coach, but I can tell you that this handle has 24.625" between the two arms that mount to the coach. I've linked a photo that shows these dimensions, as well...
view full answer... - Does Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail Fit Certain RVs and Trailers or Is it UniversalIt is possible that the Stromberg-Carlson had rail # AC-530 will fit the stock brackets on your 5th wheel trailer. But this is considered a universal fit item. But if if the rail part does not happen to fit the brackets or the bracket spacing, the unit does come with its own brackets that you can use.
view full answer... - Recommended Folding Handrail For A Trailer That Does Not Require Interior SpaceI took a look and all of the MORryde handrail steps like the Handrail for First Generation 3-Step MORryde Steps # MR93RR that you have all require 33" of clearance inside your camper. I went ahead and checked out some other alternatives that you may be interested in, however they are a bit different than # MR93RR . Check out the: -Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail for RVs - Stainless Steel # AC-530. This handrail will mount next to your door on your trailer, measures 24" wide x 38"...
view full answer... - Recommended Handrail for a 2020 Jayco Precept With 2 Electric StepsAll of the removable handrails are going to only work with 3 or 4 step manual steps, so for your situation I'd recommend going with the Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail for RVs # AC-530. This handrail measures 24" wide x 38" tall, has a max weight capacity of 200 lbs, and will install to the exterior of your trailer and fold away when not in use.
view full answer... - Solution for Handrail on 2020 Coachman PrismIf you want to install a handrail on your 2020 Coachman Prism it will have to mount to the side. The design of your TreadLite PowerStep will not work with the Stromberg Carlson Rail Mate # AP-101. As you already saw, there is no surface to install that mounting plate. Instead, I recommend a rail like the # AC-530 or # AM-533. This will mount next to your door and can fold down when not in use.
view full answer... - Handle Recommendation for Use with Lippert SolidStepsWe have hand rails like the part # AC-530 that can be installed on your RV that would work well with the SolidStep part # LC678025 that you referenced. But we do not have a step setup that fits directly to the Soidsteps.
view full answer... - How Much Does the Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail WeighThe Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail part # AC-530 will add 5 lbs to the weight of your trailer.
view full answer... - Handrail Option for RV with Lippert SolidStep RV StepsWe have hand rails like the part # AC-530 that can be installed on your RV that would work well with the SolidStep part # LC678027 that you referenced. But we do not have a step setup that fits directly to the Soidsteps. The SolidSteps were designed to give you a much wider step that's also incredibly stable so typically a hand rail isn't quite as needed.
