very strong looking railing, what a handy friend you have. Your steps are deep like mine. I added a six inch step at the bottom of mine cause the jolt
my knees took coming down were telling me I was getting old :roll:

Looks like a great idea and he did a good job. Oops, should have just said your friend since it could have been a man or one of our very talented women.

Very nice! You'd never know it wasn't original with your trailer. Warn him he might start getting orders from your RVing friends! Nice little side business!.

Christine, you've talked about that before and that fix is perfect. And looks just like it was always there. Wonderful job between you and your friend.

I am going to have to figure out how to get a handrail like that for the right hand side of my stairwell for Mom. That sure looks like it would make it a lot easier for her getting up the steps.

thanks all.....

If anyone is considering a rail.. so went to a machine shop and see he was nice enough to come out and measure and make one for me... I think its made one heck of a differnce in getting up and down the stairs... I thought it was alittle pricey, but the guy isnt the owner of the shop and so he had to charge me more than he would have otherwise.. i am still very pleased with it....
