Does anyone know where to purchase a exit door grab bar. They are usually installed on the right hand side of the exit doorway. I have a 2007 georgie boy but I believe they are universal. I checked with various suppliers and I know they are standard equipment on newer motorhomes.
Any leads will help.

Regarding grab bars....I guess I didn't make myself to clear. I'm trying to locate an assist bar that attaches to the interior part of the coach. It's purpose is to assist you as you exit the coach. It's normally located on the right hand side of the doorway as you are exiting the coach to step down to the ground. I tried all websites and rv supply places and all they show are entrance bars.

Once you find an interior grab bar, your next chore is finding something solid to secure it, otherwise it will just pull out.

My moho came with an interior grab bar mounted just inside the edge of the door frame. I assume that like houses, there is extra reinforcement around the doors.

If all else fails, you might contact Forest River, who made my rig, and buy one from them.

Our 2007 Bounder has one also - maybe a call to Fleetwood if Forest River isn't able to help...
