Needs some modifications, looks and works great!

The handle bracket on my 2002 Monaco Knight lines up with the center holes, top and bottom, and I had to drill different holes. The handle is made of transparent plastic and can be shortened if necessary. I cut off about an inch. The doorknob panel then covered the old holes nicely. All in all it was a good lineup. As a side note, I really like the backlit pen. It's not too wild to have a white light next to a door as it attracts insects. I changed the LEDs to amber and there were no issues…

Nice grip, good construction

I needed a new grip for my 93ft RV and couldn't find a factory Fleetwood grip so I settled on this lighted one. I had a flashlight installed next to my standard grip so there were cords nearby so it wasn't hard to light. This pen seems pretty solid and comes with a built in LED light, so I just connected the positive and negative wires together. Mine runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and due to very little traction I'm not worried about it draining the batteries and I have a solar panel. I…

Better than the original

Wanted everywhere! Camping World couldn't even help us with a replacement for our 2002 Fleetwood Pace Arrow grip! We called Fleetwood back and luckily found a very helpful assistant who directed us to Revane. It wasn't accurate as it didn't cover all of the original holes. But it's done much better. The original had medal back plates with plastic caps to hold the grip (ours rotted dry and eventually flew off the track). This product has strong medal holders with a pin inside - it won't go…

Inaccurate description - poor quality - incorrect dimensions

I ordered this item based on the product image shown at the time - and still shows up on a number of websites for the same part # 0055300L - which is a massive one Rectangle shows chrome tips and product description 2 inches wide. This tip size and shape was important to me as I needed this item to cover a sheared bolt in the rear of my RV. When the product arrived it was not as described and was sent back to Revain for a refund. The manufacturer undermined the quality and integrity of the…

AP Products (0055300L) Illuminated Auxiliary Grip

Upon inspecting my new shiny grip, I noticed a small defect in the chrome on one side, but was able to place it so that the defect was not very visible. The acrylic pencil wasn't entirely perfect, but it was perfectly acceptable. Overall size is 17 inches (despite Amazon's specs showing it's 21.1 x 18.3 x 10.6 inches - where did THAT come from?!?) - I needed a slightly shorter handle so I cut approx 2 inch acrylic off. Part turned out great. The light is a small incandescent bulb held in a…
