RV Handle Extension

A few of us were talking about the front door and how as we age it is getting difficult in opening the door from inside. Especially if it is an Atwood Entry door. Now most people know me and as always I do my best thinking at night - while sleeping. So this is what I came up with.
Rough drawing is a Revision A, but currently working on Rev B if needed. I am awaiting word from my first experimental unit. Which I just installed on Saturday (11/16).

Tools needed
Torch with propane bottle, Stove may work also but I have not tried it.
1 Ft 3/4 inch PVC
1 90 Degreed Elbow
Sandpaper
Paint
