Stromberg Carlson AM-800 RV Assist Foam Grip — Black Left‑Hand Mount, Cushioned Non‑Slip Handle

The Stromberg Carlson AM-800 Black Lend‑A‑Hand foam grip is a left‑hand mount assist rail that adds a cushioned, durable handhold for safer entry and step use on RVs, campers, and outdoor stairs.

Designed specifically for recreational vehicles and similar mobile homes, the AM‑800 pairs a soft foam grip with a robust mounting design so you can steady yourself while entering or exiting your RV. The black finish integrates discreetly with most vehicle exteriors and interior trim, while the unit’s construction is aimed at repeated outdoor use. It’s compact, easy to grip, and intended to reduce slips and stiff motions when moving on uneven ground or steep steps.

How does the AM‑800 improve entry and step stability?

The foam handle provides a slip‑resistant surface that’s comfortable to hold in all seasons, while the length and shape are optimized for natural hand placement. It’s especially useful when balancing on narrow or moving surfaces such as RV steps. The solid mounting supports reasonable body weight transfer during steadying movements.

• Soft, non‑abrasive foam for secure, comfortable grip
• Ergonomic diameter for most adult hands
• Black finish hides dirt and complements vehicle trim
• Left‑hand orientation aligns with many RV door layouts

Will this hold up outdoors and during travel?

The AM‑800 is built with outdoor use in mind; materials resist routine wear from weather and frequent handling. The foam grip and hardware are selected to tolerate exposure when used on exterior doors or steps. Proper installation and occasional inspection will help maintain performance over many trips.

• Durable grip material designed for repeated contact
• Corrosion‑resistant mounting components for exterior use
• Simple wipe‑clean surface maintenance

How do I install the left‑hand mount and what should I check?

Installation uses standard fasteners into a solid substrate—typically an RV sidewall or door jamb. Because this model is left‑hand oriented, confirm the rail’s position before drilling. On right‑side installations or weaker mounting surfaces, add backing or reinforcement to ensure a secure attachment.

• Mount to a solid surface or reinforced backing plate
• Pre‑mark holes and use appropriate-length fasteners
• Consider extra backing for thin or hollow panels
• Verify orientation (left‑hand) before final attachment

What sizes and situations is the AM‑800 best suited for?

The AM‑800 is compact enough for most RV entrances and narrow walkway applications while offering a full handhold for adult users. It’s intended for step stabilization, doorway assistance, and as an aid when negotiating uneven ground near campsites. It’s not a primary load‑bearing safety rail for climbing or heavy support.

• Ideal for RV and camper entry doors and exterior steps
• Useful for travel trailers, motorhomes, and camper conversions
• Works well as a supplementary assist rail for stairs and ramps

Who is this for? The Stromberg Carlson AM‑800 is aimed at RV owners, weekend campers, and anyone who wants a reliable left‑hand assist rail for vehicle entry or small outdoor steps. It’s a practical upgrade for people seeking a comfortable, weather‑resistant handle that blends with vehicle styling and adds steadiness during loading, unloading, and everyday ingress/egress. If you need a right‑side setup or a certified load‑bearing grab bar for medical use, consider alternate models or professional installation and reinforcement.
