Review on Stromberg Carlson AM 200 Assist Handle by Will Anderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Timber frame door installation and gasket installation

This product was easy to install but required a few extra steps to ENSURE the installation was sound and watertight. Insert heavy-duty mounting screws STRONGLY into the trailer's wooden (or metal) door frame. Before installing the pole, fill in the area around the Clear RTV pilot holes, then place a waterproof mat on the trailer wall. (see ASIN B0774DKKXV). The mat forms a watertight dam under the handlebar mounting hardware. Tighten the mounting screws and cut off the excess waterproof mat. Finally, caulk everything around the base of the handlebar mat to the trailer wall with a waterproof RTV. Let it dry, it's all good to get into your RV. We go hiking a lot with my 90-year-old mother-in-law, she is a very enterprising woman. But we have vision problems. Getting into the caravan required their extra help, so this pole made their access easier and safer.

Pros
