My 30 second mod

So, I wanted an EASY way to close the open door without grabbing the rubber gasket on the dutch door. I also did not want to make an unnecessary holes in the camper and did not want to spend a ton of money. Here is a picture of my new grab handle that took 30 seconds to install and that includes opening all the packaging!




I got them on amazon. You can buy only one (one handle )or pay a little more and get two (two handles). I splurged and got two and plan to put the second one on the tub ledge so my short legged kiddos have something to stabilize themselves with as they try to get in and out of tub (especially once their feet are wet!).

hmmm... it is not showing my pictures... I am not sure why... the album is here: my trailmanor album

I have seen these and have thought about putting one outside by the door. Can you check and see if they will hold their suction before I buy one? Good idea on the inside!

Just curious where you are using 6 of these? Maybe you have places that I have not thought to put them that would help me?

Great I've been looking at these and found them @ Harbor Freight for I think $7.00. Not really excited about drill any wholes in the shell. Thanks.

Mark, I went out and tried it out. I updated my album so you could see where the placement works. It did not work in one location because the RVIA sticker caused one of the suction cups to not stick. However, moving it a little made it work well. Hope that helps. (It should also be noted that we did just clean our camper and if it were dirty you would have to wipe off that location before applying or I bet it would cause issues...)

I had the same problem. Can't post any thumbanails [need my 12 yo grandson to help men]. I made a loop of the same material as our dog's leash. We attached one under the rubber strip with the far right screw and one in the middle with the middle screw, behind the rubber. Works ok for us. Olga

I have not used mine outside but inside it sticks to the door even when collapsed for a couple weeks and also during travel. It must be the difference in the type of paint? Jackie

In case you were looking for a more permanent solution, I have been pleased with the handle they use on the Elkmont....but you would have to drill holes. Seems to be very solid.
