Hi all, the rear offside manouvering grab handle on my 1995 Elddis Whirlwind Xli feels decidedly wobbly when grabbed !

I have a nasty suspicion that the screws that secure it to the van might be not affixed to anything substantial ie rotten wood (Gulp).

And has anyone experienced a similar problem, and is it a common occurrance that can be resolved fairly easily ? 

The grab hadles on my Glass Fibre van were loose.

I bought some of these at my local DIY store and cut the drill bit end off them.

Then filling the hole with Stikaflex, I screwed the fixers into the hole and then the handles back in place through the fixings. They have never budged since, although I am wary of putting any real pressure on any grab handle on any van. They are just not up to the job and are more cosmetic than practical.

We have a Motor Mover and therefore grab handles are not really required.
