Shane: Hey, guys. Shane here with here etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Lippert Components SolidStep Handrail. This handle is designed to work with the SolidSteps. It's going to be a powder-coated aluminum construction. We're not going to have to worry about rust or corrosion.
It's going to come with all the necessary hardware to get it installed. It's going to allow you five inches of adjustability to adjust your height, whether you want it a little bit higher, a little bit lower. This handle is going to be 36 inches tall by 27 inches wide. So we have plenty of handle that we can grab onto to help us getting in and out of the camper, whether we're on the ground or coming out of the camper.This handle is going to be a stationary handle, so once you put it in place, it's going to stay. It's not going to fold up.
However, you can leave it on and fold your steps up inside when you're in storage or when you're storing your camper. Keep in mind if you have furniture like we have here, we have a couch there. This handle will not be able to stay on because it hits the couch. But they make it easy. They have clevis pins.
You pop the pins out, you can pull the handle out, and set it inside the camper until you're ready to use it the next time.The installation process is pretty simple and straightforward. As I mentioned before, it's going to come with all the hardware. One of the brackets at the top is going to mount directly through four of the holes that holds your locking plate in place. You will have to drill four holes for your new bracket at the bottom, not that big a deal. Once you get it installed, it's very sturdy.
Again, it gives you something to grab onto to give you that extra stability when walking in and out. Maybe you have mobility issues. But if you tie this with this one, now you have a handle from the top down to the ground. Keep in mind, this handrail is only going to be designed for the quad steps or the triple steps. It will not work with just the double steps. That's going to do it for a look at the SolidStep Handrail.

Entry assist handrail for SolidStep manual RV steps helps you safely enter and exit your RV. Powder-coated handrail installs easily onto your steps and stays secure when in use or while being stored.
I added this to my Solid Step and it works as intended. My Mom has Parkinson's and this helps her enter the RV. I leave it in while traveling.
My wife and I are both over 80 years old. We installed the Lippert rv step because it was getting difficult to get up and down the old steps. We added the hand rail. They were easy to install. I would recommend these to anyone. They are solid and well built.
A great complement to the SolidStep stairs. Much easier to enter the 5th wheel and very sturdy.
We have a Gen 2 step. I was able to use this with the addition of two 6” by 12” aluminum plates.

Great
The pin that’s holds the railing needs to have holes for a cotter pin.Mine kept falling out!
This handle is sturdy enough to be serviceable. It wiggles a bit more than I'd like, but that's due to the removable nature. It takes a bit of doing to use the pins that hold in place. It'll take practice to get good at it. But it will keep us from falling down the stairs and that's the important point.
Not super sturdy but works well enough. Fairly easy to install. Folds up well in conjunction with RV steps.
Not impressed. Very wobbly in the brackets. It works but could certainly be better.
Works OK but would be better if it could be mounted on inside of step to keep it closer to grab.
It works just like when we got it new. We have used it every day for one year.
This is a huge help with getting in and out with the security of a longer rail to hold onto. Install took about 45 minutes, highly recommend!

Railing is still performing well. No issues with finish or strength of rail after constant use we are full-time RVers. Still highly recommend!
This is a high quality addition to our 5th wheel. Sturdy, easy to install, and came just as promised.

Probably one of the best additions we added to our 5th wheel. Added stability to all who were coming inside.
Great compliment to the solid steps
I love products that just bolt on to you existing product. Lippert did a very good job on the design of the hand rail

After a year if using the hand rail I still believe its one of the best upgrades I have done to my Rv
I had problems with left knee, friends of or had step handles on there camper, really helped getting in and out. Purchased handle for our camper. Know have new knee but handle give lots of support. Very easy to install, well worth the money even if you don’t have a bad knee
Order was processed quickly, and the order came complete and undamaged
This has made it so much easier for some members of the family to use the stairs. Existing handle can not be reached from the ground. Major game changer. Very easy to install.
Great Finish is holding up a year later and me and my wife full time
Fast friendly service
Easy install and very useful. My wife is the one who wanted it, and I didn't think I would use it much. Turns out I use it all the time. The steps fold up with the handrail attached which is very nice. I don't know if that is the same for every trailer, but it is for ours. The handrail combined with the lift assist makes the steps complete.
Works great
Easy to install. Makes a world of difference getting in the camper!
Easy setup and helps getting in and out of trailer.
Upgraded to a new 5th wheel a couple years ago, which had one more step to entry, three instead of two. The handrail near the door works well most of the time, but if we need that extra step at the bottom or are on a slanted pad, getting to the ground felt a little unstable. This additional handrail was relatively simple to install (drill some new holes in existing stairs). It definitely provides the added security going in and out of the rig we were looking for. And it folds up with the new railing not bothering any interior features so we can leave it attached as is all the time.
Once installed this assist handle is in just the right place to help my wife get in and out of our trailer. Installation was pretty easy but I have to wonder why the bracket is not designed to use the holes that are pre-drilled in the side of the steps instead of requiring me to drill new holes.

Still very happy with this rail. We are taking as many weekend trip so my mom with Parkinson while she can. This was a game changer for her to enter trailer. I would buy it again.
