Using a standard RV entry door paddle latch may seem like an economical way to enter your RV, but have you ever considered its ergonomic issues? Paddle latches tend to be difficult to use because of their small size. It’s not easy to get your fingers under them in order to get your entry door to open. Additionally, the size presents problems when your entry steps are closed, and you have to engage the latch from the ground. Good luck reaching it! The Lippert LatchXtend RV door handle makes it easier to access the latch while providing more leverage for opening your RV door. This RV door handle extends your reach by 14 inches, offering a larger and more comfortable gripping surface when compared to a typical paddle latch. LatchXtend is ideal for kids, seniors and those with limited mobility who have difficulty applying the necessary force to open a standard paddle latch or have trouble reaching the RV door latch safely. Additionally, our easy open RV door handle helps eliminate tricky footing when it comes to opening your entry door. Most campers require at least two to three steps up to reach the door handle on the entry door, so you have to ascend your steps, grab the handle, then walk backward down the steps to get the door open. With LatchXtend, there’s no need to step backward. Simply ascend a step or two, reach the handle, then swing the door open in front of you. LatchXtend also comes in handy when your unit is in storage, and you can’t access your steps to reach the door handle. With our RV door handle extension, you can simply unlatch the door from the ground, then climb in. The LatchXtend camper door handle replaces the existing latch on your RV door, providing a permanent attachment to your rig. It’s easy to install and is compatible with any right-handed door that has a standard paddle latch. In addition, this RV door handle upgrade is constructed from cast aluminum and steel — perfect for a permanent setup in the outdoor elements.

This is one of the best items I could have ordered for my RV. I myself hated doing the RV stair dance, you know going up the stairs to open the door and then back down so you could open it to get inside. With this handle the door can be opened from the ground and then go up the stairs. It was also easy to install. Very happy with this item.

Man oh man. Everyone uses their door a lot right? Get this and you’ll love it. As a guy with normal hands I felt like the original small door handle was awkward. Plus you have to walk up the steps to open the door. This thing operates the door latch so smoothly and effortlessly! It’s all metal so it feels strong. Best camper mod there is! I’ve seen this before but what sold me on it was actually using it on another’s camper. Night and day difference! It’s super easy to install.

This product was easy to install. Just a few minutes and it is in. Door opens much easier than the factory handle. You cannot go wrong with this handle.One note of caution, the safety rail will not folder toward the door after this is installed.

This handle is a good solution to the high reach door handle that it replaced. Quality is good and supplied template makes install reasonable. You do have to drill two 1 1/8 inch holes in the door for the bottom support. Happy with the results and has improved access to my rv.

This thing is great. Makes it so much easier for the kiddo to get the door open on my taller 5th wheel. You do have to drill thru the door for the lower mount. Also wish it came in a 2 pack keyed alike so I could have done both of my doors with 1 key.
