• Will the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle Fit a Cougar 22MLS?
  Hello Paul, Welcome to etrailer, I'm glad you found us! Most likely, the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 will work on your Cougar 22MLS. I just can't say for certain based on the RV model alone since I don't have the construction details or wall layout for every camper. The easiest way to verify the fit is to measure the mounting area next to your entry door. The mounting brackets on the # AM-533 are spaced 19-1/4 inches apart, measured from center to center, so...

• Could Strombreg Extend a Handle # AM533 Fit on 2022 Jayco JayFeather
  Hey Norbert, the Stromberg handle part # AM-533 is designed to fit standard mounting handle applications but we don't have a way to know if your Jayco has that currently. So what you can do is measure the distance between the mounting brackets you have now and if that distance is 19-1/4 inches this would fit and work great. If you have a different distance that you measure let me know and I'll see if there's an alternate that would work.

• Recommended Replacement Folding Grab Handle for a 2023 Jayco Jay Flight Travel Trailer
  Well you're right, that's not normal. What likely happened is that you may have just got a defective unit and it'll just need to be replaced. I recommend checking out the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-533. This replacement handle is virtually the same as the Camco Fold-Away RV Grab Handle # CAM42175, only this is going to be made in the USA with better quality materials, is a bit larger at 37" tall x 25-1/2" wide, and is also made from powder coated Aluminum...

• Troubleshooting Wobbly Lend A Hand Grab Handle
  Hey Brenda, A wobbly hand rail is never fun! I would recommend taking a Phillips head screw driver and re tightening the 4 screws you used to install until they are hand tight again. Over time the screws will come somewhat loose so it is always good to re tighten them over time. I wouldn't use a drill to tighten to avoid stripping the screws. Re tightening them will help with the sturdiness. The plastic caps falling off would possibly be fixed with tightening the screws back down as...

• Will Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle Mounting Match Camco Short Folding Handle
  Hey Tim, thanks for the photo! The Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 probably doesn't have the exact same bolt hole placements as your current Camco Short Folding Handle, so you may have to repair some holes to ensure you don't have any leaks. Attached are some photos showing the distances between the mounting holes that you can reference and compare to what you currently have.

• Will Lend-A-Hand Extended Assist Rail Fit Standard Lend-A-Hand Mounting Holes
  Hello Bud; I'm assuming what you have in the picture there is the standard Lend-A-Hand. The Lend-A-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 is designed to fit the same mounting holes. That third hole you see on your handle now is for OEM use and not required for aftermarket installation. Depending on when it was produced the # AM-533 may have 3 mounting holes but we don't have a way to control if it does or not. If you end up with one that only has two all you need to do is take...

• Availability of a Hand Rail for MORryde Flip Tread RV Steps
  The Handrail for Second Generation 4-Step MORryde Steps # MR73AR is designed to be used with the StepAbove steps. Unfortunately this rail will not work for your MORryde Flip Tread RV Steps # MR42UR. That being said, the best solution is to add a folding handrail that attaches to the RV itself like the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-533 or the Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail # AC-544. I have attached a picture showing the # AC-544 handrail installed next to...

• Recommended Hand Rail For A 2017 Jayco Jayflight SLX
  The first thing that comes to mind is a folding grab handle since it will permanently install to the side of the camper. A really good option is the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533. The handle itself is 37" tall and 25-1/2" wide so there is plenty of railing to grab on to. It can be installed on either flat or corrugated surfaces, you just want to be sure it is secured to the wood framing or a wall stud. The picture below shows one installed on a camper very similar...

• 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...

• Handrails and Steps That Will Improve Handicap Access Into a Pull Behind Camper.
  Yes, something like the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 can replace the original grab handle to make it easier to get in and out. The best thing would be to replace the steps with some like the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear # TLA8003. These steps are designed to telescope all the way to the ground(door height of 25-1/2" - 36"), which makes the first step solid versus the bounce that you will normally feel with retractable steps. You can...

• Would You Be Locked In Your Trailer If the Lend-a-Hand Grab Handle Was Closed Over the Door?
  Yes, unfortunately! If some rapscallion happened to close the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-533 over your door while you were still inside, you'd effectively be trapped. You can see at the 0:50 mark in the video attached that the handle would need to be lifted and swung away from the door to free you from the trailer. This is in-place more so for a safety feature, that way when you're traveling down the road the grab handle isn't able to move around freely potentially...

• Is There a Handrail Available for the Solid Step XF RV Steps
  I have a different solution for you, but I contacted the manufacturer and there is currently no handrail available for the XF series of steps. You could use the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-533. This has a more universal fit because it will attach to your RV, opposed to the steps.

  The Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 has a distance of 19.5" from the bottom of the top mounting bracket to the top of the bottom mounting bracket. It appears that the measurement Stromberg has on their site is in reference to the distance between the handle grab bar itself at 23.5". I have included images below that will show the measured distances for the mounting holes.

  The measurements 37" tall by 25-1/2" deep are the overall height and depth of the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle # AM-533 when mounted on the camper.

• What is Purpose of Shim Kit for Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle
  The shim kit part # 5991-SM is designed to push the handle part # AM-533 out a little further from the body of the RV so that it can close around a door that sticks out further from the outer wall. So if your door closes mostly flush with your RV wall you wouldn't need the shim.

• Is There a Handrail Available For The Lippert SolidStep Fold-Down Steps
  I do have an option for you but the Lippert Handrail for Victory Step Manual Fold-Down Steps part # LC726866 is designed for the Victory Step fold-down steps. From your photo, it looks like you have a Lippert Solid Step like part # LC698799 and there is not a handrail available that mounts directly to the solid step. However, you can use the Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs - Black with Black Foam Grip part # AM-533 which is going to attach the door frame stud and give...

• Handrail For RV With Flip Tread Steps
  We have a handrail option for you, but the MORryde hand rail won't fit the Flip Tread steps, just the StepAbove steps because the Flip Tread steps have a different type of frame to accommodate the collapsible treads. So the best option will be a hand rail that mounts directly to your RV: - Lend-a-Hand Extra Large Folding Grab Handle for RVs # AM-533 This is a large, 37" x 25-1/2" handrail that will secure directly to your RV and give you added support and stability as you make your way...
