Getting in and out of your motorhome can be much easier with a well-placed grab handle

FIT AN INTERIOR GRAB HANDLE

Motorhomes are not normally equipped with grab handles by the door, although even able-bodied motorcaravanners can find it a bit tricky to get in and out. But if you do have limited mobility, I think you would be well advised to fit the type of large, fixed, metal handles made precisely for the purpose.

Car roof handle

I spent some time looking on the internet to find a suitable general-use handle, but those I came across all had a 'domestic' appearance.

I finally decided that a car interior grab handle would be ideal as it's compact, folding and neutral in colour. A typical car roof handle might cost up to £50 new, but online I found three used Hyundai i10 roof handles for under £12, including postage.
