Grab handle for 19'

I am having ETI install a grab handle in the bathroom. Any advice on what brand to buy, also best location. I need it when using the shower and toilet. Thank you for any help.

ETI, installed a grab handle for us, as well. They supplied the grab handle, it is the same handle they they use for the handle used to enter the trailer. We also asked them to install a handle on the right hand side of the door, inside the trailer to facilitate exiting the trailer.

Can you use the handle with the shower curtain closed?

We haven't used the handle for shower use and curtain would make it difficult to hold onto,, you might ask ETI if they could install a handle on the shower head wall.

I just use the sink as a handle.

It's been a while, but be careful of using the bathroom sink as a handle. It's not. I remember reading (early years ago here or on FiberglassRV) where the owner had a hard time reattaching the bathroom sink because it became "unattached." It's not a handle, it's a sink.

This looks good. For an OleMan like me one on each side would certainly help in both entering and exiting th' trailer.

I would think it would be good to have a handle inside the door on the left so that it could be grabbed with the left hand on exiting the trailer, and then grab the one on the exterior with the right hand.

I think we need clarification. We were in the bath and now we seem to be exiting the trailer. Need to be more explicit.
