My mom is needing these for her garage step, she is only 125 lbs. Will these support her? Thanks for info!** A: I'm close to 200 lbs and it supports me just fine. I have it in my garage going into my house 3 steps and it works great **Q: Does the handle lock into place? How does it stay in position without giving in to folding position?** A: I have a question for jwood1964 - do you have to lift your handle up to change positions and then drop it back down once in the position you want it in, from folded to unfolded? If so, the this is called locked in position. **Q: the video and trailers description says the mounting holes are 19 1/4" and the measurement on amazon says 25 1/2". What is it ?** A: top hole to bottom is 24 1/2, next is 22 1/4, third hole is 1 1/2 from other top/bottom holes. Definitely not same as original grab bar mount. **Q: Can it be installed horizontally on rv? my steps are on a small deck that go towards the side of my rv not straight down?** A: Anchor points on your trailer, would determine if this would work. I personally would try mounting a hand rail to the floor of your deck. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great item that works *by H***Z on May 2, 2026* Bought this because the original one was small and this makes it easier for kids to grab on to. No issues! Simple install. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good buy! *by B***R on April 21, 2026* Great replacement handle for the camper. The kids are able to hold on all the way down the stairs, and makes me feel more secure about them walking down the stairs! Easy to put on, and looks good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome for Attic !! *by T***A on June 27, 2021* Purchased to assist someone on/off the top of the attic ladder. I mounted it to verticle 2x4 that is next to the attic opening, so you need to reach over a couple of inches but it is perfect. When going up it becomes uncomfortable for some once they reach the door panel as it prevents the front of your foot from stepping onto the rung with the ball and arch of your foot - necessitating the need to grab ahold of something just as you begin to run out of ladder to hold onto. Although the hand rail is a few inches to the side, it is perfectly placed to continue up the last 4 rungs while remaining upright - vs either ending up on all fours to come off the ladder, or being precariously perched, doubled over with both hands and feet on the top rung! Naturally going down without the hand rail was just as horrifying - for both the individual and the one watching! Although now it's quite comical, it truly was an unsafe situation. Unfortunately it is typical of most attic access points. And companies addressing it are charging several hundreds of dollars for for a rail quite similar to this one! Actually this rail is even better bc it moves - the mechanism that allows it to fold flat agains the side of your trailer or motorhome works perfectly when needing it out of the way for moving bulky items onto or off of the side of the access way when bringing things up or down. Restricting the movement from the sides was my only concern about adding a rail up top, but the ability to move it out of the way makes it PERFECT! I will definitely be buying another when I find the right RV as well as for future attics. Overall the functionality, build quality, design and installation ease of this rail is great. I definitely recommend it for anywhere a railing would be of assistance. Note, this is NOT built for or meant to be a deterrent and will not hold your weight if leaning against or over it. But it's perfect to steady onself and even to pull yourself up or let yourself down - just like a handrail should. ## Frequently Bought Together - Stromberg Carlson AM-533 Lend-A-Hand Extended Assist Rail - RV Handrail, RV Handle Grab Bar by Door, Camper Hand Rail, RV Step Handrail, Trailer Door Handle, Grab Handle, 37" Overall Drop, Black - RVGUARD RV Screen Door Cross Bar Handle Adjustable from 21-5/8 Inch to 28-5/8 Inch with Sturdy and Secure Non-Slip Grip - TONDA RV Furnace Vent Screen, Bug Screens Heater Vent Cover for Camper with Installation Tool and Silicone Rubber, 2.8 x 1.3 Inch, 2 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/45882906-am-533-lend-a-hand-extended-assist-rail-rv-handrail](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/45882906-am-533-lend-a-hand-extended-assist-rail-rv-handrail) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
