Title: Inside assist handle
Post by: oldmattb on November 12, 2020, 08:50:21 pm
The nice matching carved wood ones...

We have one just inside the entry door.  We have one next to the fridge. We have one across from the fridge.  We have two over the bed.

Is this normal, or part of an upgreade package?  Or did a previous owner like hand-holds?

Not OE. But, makes good sense for one with mobility issues (or who frequently make runs around the coach while the driver is taking those S corners in the mountains).

Definitely not OE, other than the one by the entry door.

Doesn't mean someone didn't have FT make them, especially if they are the same wood as the rest of the coach.

The one by the entry door is a natural.  The two in the kitchen we don't use a lot.  The ones over the bed are a winner!  We like them a lot.

You could use the ones over the bed for upper body exercise - prone pullups!

I have the ones over the bed. Look factory and stout. They've taken a beating from my head and not budged.

LOL. It has been different for us.  We grab the handle before rising, so the hand position serves as an index to avoid the head bump.

Between bedroom cabinets and the front TV cabinet knocking all the hair from my head and a fair amount of hide you think One would learn but noooo. Got to wham that sucker regularly. Mirrors on the front of a Unicoach have a pretty good punch to Matt.
