I'm trying to picture what you want to do. The original grab handle is on the outside near the door latch. If you added one on the other side, it would be blocked by the opened door.

You could add a loop grab handle mounted on the other side but on the inside of the camper. Something like this one. https://www.safarist...ez-grab-handle/

Never used the grab handle. I use the sink or the door frame. We all have a way in and out, just mine. jd

Am I the only one that backs out of my Hawk? Just seems easier and safer for my old legs ;)

Backing out is much easier and safer for me too. Don't use the grab handle very much.  Ron

I always use the handle. Installed beefier screws and through bolted the upper. All you have to do is fall once or twice and you will always use some kind of hand hold(unless you a slow learner).

I will pay more attention. I know I use the handle on entry.
We back out and I think I use the door frame or the refrigerator handle. I also curious about location of opposing grab handle.

Embarrassed here. :( Didn't even think about not backing out.

Exiting facing rear would be especially hazardous at night with snow or ice on steps for old legs like mine.

I wouldn’t be embarrassed, I only thought of that when I read someone mentioned it.
