### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent hand hold addition to our new camper.
*by A***R on July 21, 2025*

This was very easy to install. I just held the new handle in place , marked right through the holes onto my camper with a a drill bit and marked all 4 locations. Then moved the handle and drilled the holes completely. After that, I installed the handle with the supplied fasteners. It only took 5 minutes. Product does a great job providing me a secure handhold while entering and especially exiting my camper
