Hand Rail for steps into camper

[castlewood57223]

We currently have a very small hand rail for getting into the camper, as a matter of fact my wife has to be on the first step just to reach it.  I can barely get my hand around it, when climbing in, so it is tiny.
So we're looking at replacing it, and getting one of the longer swing out 24" hand rails for the steps into the camper.

My question is any pros or cons on brands, if you have one you really like that you replaced your hand rail - what brand is it?

Thanks all!

We had a swing out hand rail on a trailer years ago and I really liked it.

Couldn't tell you the brand as it came with the trailer new.

We broke the one that came on ours and I had to quickly replace it the day we were planning on leaving for a trip.  I believe it was a Camco model and it was almost a direct replacement for the one that was installed.  The installed one was broken because someone used it to climb sideways down the steps with their full weight on it.  They are meant for straight up and down the steps and don't have support for side pressure.

Thanks everyone for the comments, and will keep that in mind about the lateral forces on the hand rail, we sometimes do crazy things if we are in a hurry, this is good to know info!

Thanks!

Here's a decent looking one I came across from an old thread.
