Lippert LatchXtend™ RV Door Handle Extension

Why You Need an RV Door Handle Upgrade 

When you think about a typical RV entry door paddle latch, it may seem economical, but it has some ergonomic issues. Small paddle latches are hard to get your hand under in order to get your entry door open. The small size presents problems, especially when your entry steps are closed, and you need to engage the latch from the ground. In most 5th wheel applications, paddle latches also tend to be very high off the ground, making them difficult to reach for many people, including children. The Lippert LatchXtend RV door handle makes it easier to access the latch on your entry door. 

Enjoy Easier Entry Door Access 

Extending your reach by 14" and offering a large, comfortable gripping surface, you can enjoy easier access with more leverage for actuating the latch on your door. This is a perfect solution for kids, seniors and those with limited mobility who may have trouble reaching the RV door latch safely or have difficulty applying the necessary force to open a standard paddle latch. In addition, the LatchXtend easy-open RV door handle helps prevent falls from entry steps. Since most 5th wheels and travel trailers require at least two to three steps up to enter the rig, you’re often faced with having to ascend your steps to grab the handle, then take a few steps backward down the steps to swing the door open. With LatchXtend, you can avoid this tricky footing! Instead, you can ascend a step or two, easily reach the handle, then swing the door open in front of you — no need to step backward. LatchXtend also comes in handy when your unit is in storage, and you can’t access your steps. With our RV door handle extension, you can simply unlatch the door from the ground, then climb in.
