How to Install Stromberg Carlson Soft Touch Handle for RVs

Updated 02/10/2015 | Published 02/09/2015

Question:

How is the handle actually installed? Does the two ends have a flange that is screwed into the RV wall from the outside and then the handle is attached?

To install the Soft Touch Assist Handle, # AH-150, you will place the Soft Touch rail at the intended mounting location. (The mounting holes of the Soft Touch rail are offset, allowing you to secure the rail to your coach's door frame.) The weight the rail will support depends on what it's mounted to so be sure you secure it to the door frame or a stud in the wall of your coach.

You then mark the four mounting hole locations and pre-drill holes using a 1/8" drill bit. Then place waterproof caulk over the holes to prevent moisture from entering your coach's wall. Prior to the caulk setting up, mount your Soft Touch rail using the provided fasteners and you are done.

I have included a video review of this part for you to check out.
