Review: Replacement Grab Rail - For my travel trailer, it was a direct replacement. I expect it to provide the same level of performance. In hindsight, after taking apart the broken grab rail, it may have repairable. It's easy to install, and fit into the previous grab rail screw holes (applying sillycon caulking, 30 minutes(?)).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes getting in and out a lot safer.
*by J***T on January 25, 2025*

My wife and I are doing a lot of traveling in our 1994 RV. As a "Mature" couple were finding getting into and out of the door of the RV was getting a little challenging. The small handle that came with the 30 year old RV worked "ok" getting into the the RV. But, was no help in getting out. After almost falling out the door a few times we realized that it was time to install something that would give us the stability that we need in the last chapter in our lives. This handle makes getting in and out of the RV a lot safer for us. The wide grip area and design gives us plenty of room to place our hands where we are able to the most stability. It is also side to side adjustable. By folding the handle against the door it provides a little added security in keeping the door closed while traveling. The quality is adequate for our needs and it seems to be durable enough to provide the length of time we are going to be traveling.
