Laredo 318RL Stairwell Hand Rail
2010 Model.
Recently there was a good post on installing stairwell Handrails but I could not figure out how to apply it to my RV. The stairwell makes a sweeping curve to the right to the upper hallway. Both sides are covered with a hardened panel that fits the curvature nicely.
Us getting old folks really would like something to hang onto when going up and down. There is some flex in the wall covering and I cannot really get a good idea if and where a good structural member would be. Also if one could be located, fastening a rail to it would surely cause a dent in spot in the paneling.
My only thought thus far is to go inside the pantry on the left side and cut an access panel in its wall to get a look see as to what and where any supports are behind the wall.
I would appreciate any ideas before I start cutting into the back panel if and when it warms up here in IL. thanx
