Missing body and trim parts

Missing parts. I missed the return window so I'm stuck. I can find the screws but the protective part covering the screws is missing.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Some small things

Sturdy as OEM on my 5th wheel

Very nice finish, easy install, relatively durable and my elderly mum loves it when she gets in her caravan! What's not to like?

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not the best

The right part for the job

Easy install but mine just replaced a broken part. Otherwise you would have to drill holes for mounting. The first we lasted just over 2 camping seasons.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • 0

Good addition best in case

Nice grip compared to my little one I use 1 3/4 #12 in camper instead of 2 inch, also use 1/8 mylar white because of the surface of the camper has it has few aluminum slides, came out as a good buy just to get my campervan's scissor step ladder up steep stairs, it will help, should have bought a long time ago it won't rely on it

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Having trouble

Great Grip: Grab Bars

I installed this grip on my old truck RV restoration project, works great. Installation is easy, two screws on top and bottom. The handle can move from left to right or stay in the middle during use.

Pros
  • Body
Cons
  • Weight

Nice addition to your van

Pretty good addition to a trailer. Helps climb stairs. Be sure to get into the RV's frame structure for the required strength and stability. Remember to use putty or silicone sealant to caulk.

Pros
  • Spare parts
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Pros
  • Body and Trim
Cons
  • Repair

To fit my retractable camper van

I bought this for my Viking retractable camper van. I needed to avoid the existing "porch light" so I installed it just below where I wanted it. The included bolts worked great to attach it to the RV's body, but I had to purchase nuts and bolts to attach the base to the RV's frame. But everything fits 100% the way it is. The 1/4 inch difference between the depth of the RV body and the frame did not affect the installation at all, everything is fine and strong.

Pros
  • Grab bars
Cons
  • Available in white only
