thank you for the heads up on the shims. will contact the vendor tomorrow.Dave Tyler has one on his Big Horn and I have one on my Landmark. Both our spouses love them. If you order one, make sure you actually call the company and get the shims for the handle install--these are necessary to bring the handle out so it will close.

Well. Its a done deal. Made my own shims. The shims Strongburg-Carlson supplies in only 3/16"Dave turned me on to this as well. We put on Torklift steps which we love but this hand rail makes the total entry/exit system really stable.

which won't allow the handrail to fold closed without touching the door handle. Mine are more like 1/2".

Thanks....We opted for the AC-544That's different than the ones Dave and I put on. It appears to extend further out and has that vertical brace. I like it.

Looks great and sturdy. How does it look close and does mount in the existing handle mounts. I have a 2017 Bighorn Traveler 37SS. Thanks
Stromberg-Carlson also makes an extended rail system AM-533 , that mounts exactly ,and has the same footprint as the original. It extends out 25" ,and down 36" i believe.I'm going to throw this in. My Stromberg Carlson is a bit different but the mounting blocks look the same. Stock Heartland blocks have two mounting holes while the SC blocks have four. I mounted SC blocks with screws in the original holes and then drilled two more to complete the installation. Fortunately, there was solid material behind the new holes which held the screws solidly.

ilk post mine folded tomorrow,but in the meantime.Awesome sounds pretty good. If you have a picture of it folded in would love to see it.
Here is a couple of shots. handrail closed, and a view to show how far it comes down in relation to the steps. Also, one shows a "gap" between the vertical brace and the door handle ( the 3/8" shims from S.- C. would allow it to rub and I didn't want that )ilk post mine folded tomorrow,but in the meantime.
