Question:

We have a 2021 Durango 283rlt 32 foot gooseneck trailer. I’m wondering if there is a adjustable handle for coming down the steps?

Hello Rich, thanks for reaching out. We do have a great option for adding a solid, adjustable handhold to your setup.

A really popular choice for 5th wheels like your Durango 283RLT is the MORryde Safe-T-Rail Telescoping RV Hand Rail # MR54BR. It mounts to the wall next to your entry door and gives you a sturdy grab handle when coming in and out. When you’re done, it folds flat up against the trailer so it’s out of the way.

This style works well with a wide range of step setups and gives you a much more stable, confident feel going up and down, especially if you’re dealing with uneven ground. As long as you’ve got a flat fiberglass wall surface next to the door, it’s a straightforward install and a big improvement in stability.

What step is on your Durango now?

We added one to our 2022 Grand Design 2930RL. Easy installation and has been a great addition. Beats the heck out of the old hand rail/handle we had.

We love our MorRyde Safe-T- handrail. So convenient to deploy and we like that it goes the whole length of the steps going up or going down. So much safer that the one the rig came with.

One of the easiest and best upgrades that you can make, especially for older RVers or those with gait or mobility issues. Far better than the folding loop design and it extends much further for improved ease of use. Safety pin insures that it will stay closed for travel. It even came as standard equipment on our 2025 GrandDesign Reflection, that’s how much of an improvement it is.

@GordonD Hey Gordon, thanks for sharing! Yes I have been seeing a few campers out there with the MORryde hand rail from the factory. I guess they are catching on!

it was easy to add to my North Point. The rail is on the left side. not much space needed. extends all the way to last step. 4 steps. my wife easily gets up and down without fear of falling. telescopic adjusted to her liking.

@SpecialK Thanks for sharing, sounds like a great upgrade! Glad to hear the install was straightforward and that the telescoping adjustment made it comfortable for your wife to use. Having that extra stability on the steps really makes a difference for confidence getting in and out.
