The TorkLift GlowGuide Handrail # TLA7621 referenced in your question is designed to work with TorkLift scissor step assemblies. It can technically be used on assemblies from other manufacturers, but you will not be able to physically attach the handrail to the steps. This is because the handrail will use mounting brackets specific to the TorkLift step design. In order to use this with the electric steps on your Holiday Rambler RV, you would likely need to extend the vertical rail down to the ground with a rubber foot. We do not currently have a bracket available that will allow the unit to be attached to the steps on your RV.

A better option might be a more universal design like the Lend-a-Hand # AM-533. This handrail will mount to the RV sidewall next to the door with the included hardware. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out.
