Camco Handrails: Safer Entry and Exit for RVs and Boats
When stepping in or out of an RV doorway or onto a boat deck, a secure handhold can make all the difference between a confident step and a dangerous slip. Camco — a trusted name in outdoor, RV, and marine accessories since 1966 — brings that same commitment to quality and practicality to its line of handrails and grab handles. With decades of experience designing products for real-world outdoor use, Camco understands the stresses these safety fixtures must endure: UV exposure, moisture, road vibration, and repeated daily use.
The Fold-Away Design Advantage
Camco's flagship handrail offering is the Fold-Away RV Grab Handle, available in both black and white powder-coated aluminum finishes to match a wide range of RV exteriors. The fold-away mechanism allows the handle to rotate flat against the side of the RV when not in use, reducing wind drag and minimizing the risk of snagging on brush or awnings during travel. When you need it, it swings out firmly and locks in place, providing a secure grip for entering and exiting the coach.
Camco constructs these grab handles from durable aluminum to prevent bending or breaking under load, and the weather-resistant design holds up through seasons of outdoor exposure. The mounting brackets and included hardware make installation straightforward, typically requiring only basic hand tools.
Versatility Across Applications
Beyond the fold-away model, Camco also offers a Multi-Purpose Fixed Length Handle built from anodized aluminum with a distinctive ergonomic tear-drop cross-section — a shape that is more comfortable and durable than conventional round tubing. This style of handle is designed to serve equally well on RV steps, boat rails, trailers, and even residential entry points, making it a flexible solution for anyone who needs reliable support in more than one setting.
The anodized aluminum construction resists rust and corrosion, which is especially important in coastal or high-humidity marine environments. A TPE hand grip provides a firm, comfortable hold even when hands are wet, and the handle is designed to float if accidentally dropped in the water — a thoughtful detail that reflects Camco's deep roots in marine and boating hardware.
