I take it you mean the type that swing out to act as a hand rail, and swing in and lock to prevent opening of the door.
Perhaps the first thing is, you need sufficient space on the inside wall beside the open side of door to fit the standard securing plate. The rail/lock fixings go right through the wall.
If insufficient space for standard though wall fixing with the internal plate, then an optional extra fixing kit is available to affix from outside only.
DIY fitting if competent, but drilling into structure of caravan involved, so not really any easy going back if you get it wrong!
Personally, I'd be double checking there was no hidden cabling running in wall cavity before drilling through, probably unlikely, but easier to check than rectify damage.

This is the handle you have described I have checked and there is space to fix it as described in the instruction you have sent I will check again, the door opens to the right so frame brackets are not necessary, drilling the first holes is not too much of a a problem it’s matching up the other fixing that’s going to be a bit tricky because you have to drill from inside

I have fitted one of these on my Bailey Series 7 Pageant Burgundy, I was lucky that there was space behind, however the frame for the sliding flyscreen was in the way, I did mamage to move it and return it afterwards.
As for drilling, use a longer pilot drill bit and ensure the hole is accurately aligned, you can increase the hole size from either side prior to fitting the bolts.
