What is a good handle for across my screen door, I have seen these on several rigs. Are they worth it?

I installed a Camco Screen Door Cross Bar (google it and you'll find multiple references from many retailers). FYI, Lippert's "Screen Shot" is different. It's a self-closer device for the screen door, not a grab handle.
Is the Camco worth it? I'd definitely install it again. The DW and I use it every time we go to close the door (from inside) or open the door as it gives us something to push against.
Installation is not hard, but pay attention to the directions and "measure twice..." before installing the hardware.

Camco, again... without it there is little to hold when opening/closing the door. I added a second bar a little lower which makes it easier to grab (the door) from grade on entry. I have no issue with folding step clearance, but best to "dry fit" first.Mike & Sonya

Definitely check for clearance. With my 2600rb there was plenty of clearance and the handle could mount at any height. The new 337rls has slightly different stairs that don't have as much clearance. Because of that I had to mount the handle fairly high up. Not an ideal location but better than not having the grab handle.Charles and Susan

Well, started to install handle and any where on the left side the steps hit while holding the handle in place, not hard and I can shut screen door door. Do you think this will be a problem? One thing it will hold the steps from jiggling. I do have the handle up from opener about 6" from top of horizontal center of screen. Still deciding if I should go a head and install2021 Reflection 303RLS

I can't say if it will be a problem, or not. I had plenty of clearance on my install... might suggest since you already purchased the handle, go ahead with the install and see if the benefit of the handle outweighs the contact with the step. Worst case, remove the handle and fill the four small screw holes. No harm, no foul.Mike & Sonya

Simple install ….measure lots drill once.
makes it easy to close the screen door and the entry door when screen door is attached.
well worth the money. These should be standard equipment.
About $30.00 Canadian at Canadian Tire.

Cooper -- agree completely with the cross bar. I also recently installed Lippert's Screen Defender (my dog had damaged the pet screen my DW had installed!) and also Lippert's Screen Shot. Now that they are installed I wonder why I waited so long to put them on...highly recommended!Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself.
