David, you will get the standard reply "Newmar does not sell parts directly to it's customers, unless they are at the factory in Nappannee"
You can go to any Newmar dealer and have them order what you need. Some dealers MAY ask Newmar to drop ship to your address, otherwise you'll have to go back to the dealer and pick it up. Good luck, ED

David , the best route to obtaining a new grab handle is through a Newmar dealer. Ed.S

I have one laying around at home that you can have. The only problem is it says "Itasca".

My dealers parts guy will mail me parts. I call, order parts, use CC and wait for parts to arrive.

OBTW - Be aware that the Grab handle needs to sealed. I found that mine wasn't and water leaked in around the mounting brakects and where the handle sit in the bottom mounting bracket.

Are you talking about the metal ones that I see just inside some of the Newmars? If so,there is a rv salvage parts place out in Washington state I belive where I saw them on his web site. I will look for the site and post the link if I can find it for you. Other than that I would try a Newmar <STRIKE>Stea</STRIKE> dealer

have you considered finding a heavy duty towel bar at HD or Lowes? You can cut to length you want, and mount as it fits. Otherwise, try CW.

And, if you have a felt pen, you can still scribble "Newmar" on it.

I ordered a replacement for my Newmar and found that in order to use the same screw holes, I had to "trim" the handle with a grinder to get a proper fit. The handle was around $90.00 so it isnt cheap.

Here's a story you all might enjoy. We purchased our Newmar (our first MH-had a toyhauler) on a Thursday a couple weeks ago, and left that Friday for Laughlin NV. While traveling with family and friends all admiring our coach for the 5 hour ride(I was aware of Newmar coaches as being considered top of the line- we were looking at a brand new Fleetwood Fiesta with double slides, but this used 03 put that unit to shame- just the fit and finish alone) we arrived at the Flamingo hotel at midnight. The "Valet" sign said it was full, but I pulled up anyway to let everyone unload thier luggage etc. A Porter came out to meet us and help unload, and a security gaurd came up on his bike and said "I'll help you find a place to park". We thought we were being treated like royalty just because of the beauty of our new coach, but the frosting on the cake was when the Valet Manager came up and said "Mr. Newmar, we have a place right around the corner for you to park"- as he then pointed at our light up handle and said "that is awesome, your name right on the motorhome".
