Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
We had a hand rail up next to the door but it got pulled out which stripped the screws from the framing. I assume that there are 2x somethings that frame the door correct? What type of screws should I use to mount this handrail so that it doesn't pull out again? I had thought to drill all the way through to the inside, use a flat metal bracket then bolts all the way through. I'd put the smooth head on the inside and the nut on the outside. Would this work?
Probably so, but be sure you seal the bolt holes so there is no chance of water migration from the outside. Use good high grade bolts as most places sell cheap grade 3 bolts. I would suggest at least grade 5 but grade 8 might be overkill.
