Distance Between the Mounting Brackets on the Lend-a Hand Folding Grab Handle

Published 12/20/2012

Question:

The entry handle on our Chalet Arrowhead is fine for getting inside, but no help when exiting. Would like to install Stromberg Carlsom AM-200 folding grab handle but have space concerns. What is the outside measurement between top and bottom of the mounting brackets? Also, this trailer does not have a frame per se, but rather is made of structural panels. Would mounting with through bolts, washers and nuts be better than the supplied screws? Thanks for your help.

I went out into our warehouse and measured the distance between the mounting brackets and found the distance to be 19-1/4 inches. Check out the video and picture I attached to see this measurement.

The mounting brackets themselves measure 3-7/8 inches tall.

Using nuts, bolts and washers to install the # AM-200 would work very well as an installation procedure.
