Essential Measurements
If you are eying the Safe-T-Rail and think you'd really like to upgrade your trailer with this unique design, the next thing you need to eye is the side of your RV. This will work perfectly on many trailers, but there are some situations that might make it incompatible or require some extra work during installation.
The Safe-T-Rail needs to be mounted on a completely flat surface that is free of any obstructions. The bottom bracket will hug the corner of the door frame at the bottom (as shown). So check the following things:
If you have rubber seals or trim that can be removed, that's OK. Just know you will need to be ready with the tools to cut and seal those areas to prevent any water damage.
When you remove your old grab handle, you're going to need to be ready to repair the screw holes to prevent any water damage. This can be done with some simple silicone caulk or sealant. You'll also need caulk or butyl tape to seal the screw holes when mounting the Safe-T-Rail to keep moisture out.
There are 2 upper mounting brackets included. The longer bracket may be needed to cover up screw holes from your old grab handle. This not only helps to keep out moisture, but it makes sure the outside of your RV still looks nice. If the shorter bracket covers any old screw holes, the longer one is not used.

Replace your RVs grab handle with a proper handrail that feels like your staircase at home. The lengthy 54" rail helps stabilize you from the first step. Folds flat against your RV with a sleek, low-profile look that won't obstruct the door.This rail will work nicely with my new Brophy 4 step just added to my 1999 Lance 1010 truck camper. My wife and I will appreciate the extra safety factor.
My fiance purchased your torklift stairs for our truck camper. I purchased this hand rail to help with balance issues on the stairs. It's works perfectly. I would have given this 5 stars but a nylon washer and a nut were missing. The second washer and bolt we're just loose in the box. It was an easy fix. Altogether though I love the steps and the handrail. Easy to open and close. Sturdy enough to feel safe.
We’d been looking at these since the Tampa RV Show 2 years ago, but I was hesitant to try it because, based upon the installation instructions, I would have to cut a piece of trim beside the door. Finally decided to give it a shot. We couldn’t be more pleased with this product. Installation was far easier than I had expected, and the Safe-T-Rail is far more sturdy than the previous hand/grab rail that we had. Highly recommend the product and eTrailer.
etrailer gets 5 stars
UPS not sure, package arrived with damages, will not be able to inspect until I get off work this afternoon.
Awesome product. Should come standard on all Rv’s. Easy to install. I put one on both doors to my 5th wheel. Makes the stairs much safer with a rail as long as the stairs are. Super simple deployment. Secure during travel.
Excellent hand rail. Very stable and is easier to enter trailer
Very effective rail, strong, sturdy, and it collapsese conveniently all the way out of the way. I actually attached it to the upper wall at the top of my attic stairs to supplement the lower side handrail, to support seniors walking up the last few steps. I had looked at shorter swing-aside ones, but they were too short. The only problem was that the instructions you provide apply only to attaching to the metal walls of an RV. You should provide them for house walls, use studs, etc. And it would be nice if you had other colors, at least a powder coat white.
Excellent choice for RV handrail. Instructions were provided but you get better guidance from the video.
My wife and her sister did not like the Stromberg-Carlson handrail because it wobbled side-to-side too much. Your handrail had some wobble. So, I added 2 nylon washers (see photo) to cure the issue. I also suggest you offer this handrail in white as black gets too hot to use when it is on the west side in the summer. I intend to paint mine.
Product is fine. Directions included are awful. Watched your video and like the written instructions it skips the part about extending the rail to expose the second whole from the top. Sounds simple but everything starts with exposing that hole and getting that first screw in place. One other comment I would like to add. I wish the textured rail surface was more of a rubberized material to offer a better grip
Absolutely fabulous upgrade to my Cameo 5 th wheel. Very easy to install with the help of the how-to videos as well !!! It is much safer than the old style hand rail. Love it !!!
This hand rail is exactly what I wanted! Fast delivery and excellent communication from Lauren. THANK YOU for a pleasant purchase experience.
As always it is a pleasure to order from etrailer.
Works great and is very sturdy. The clevis pin hole is not correctly drilled making it difficult to impossible to insert.
Very stable. Makes entering the fifth wheel safe and comfortable.
Install was easy, nice to have something to hold onto going in and out of our fifth wheel
Fit on Cedar Creek 34RL2. Did have to remove aluminum trim towards bottom of door.
We bought this handle about a year ago and we love it. It's well made and we've had no issues with it. We do recommend this product that we bought from etrailer.
Installation Instructions somewhat pres umptive.
Very sturdy, well built. Install isn't really hard but directions are weak and could be much clearer. When drilling holes into a trailer clarity is important.
Excellent. We didn't end up using it but gave it to our friend and it fit their trailer and needs much better.
Packaged very well. Took about half an hour to install. Looks great on our 2017 grand design Imagine 2600RB!
The Safe-T-Rail is solid as a rock and a huge improvement for older campers like me
Haven't installed product, but am confident product will perform as advertised.
The 5 stars is for Etrailer's service. Can't be beat
Seasy to install. Had my 3 year old grandson try it and he made it up and down without falling. My wife is more stable on the stairs with them. What I have been waiting for.
