Exactly. But if you put it up as an assist, then if you do slip, you're going to automatically reach out to grab hold. From what I remember when we installed assist bars for my mom, thst was the biggest danger - if the assist bar isn't strong enough to help you when you lose your balance, then it becomes dangerous because your instinct is to grab it to stop the fall and it can't handle that - so you do more damage than without it.

I did say temporory Since I do not know the practiclaty of installing true assist bars in a RV shower and I know that it would not be possible in a campground shower. IMHO They will work just fine to help stablize a person and would be better than nothing at all.

Sorry. Just remember all that with my mom's install and it's a very quick change from an assist to a support and many folks aren't aware of the difference with these devices. I know my mom didn't understand the difference - if it could keep her steady, then it could get her back on her feet.
