Yes, found it a great help for getting in & out. Make sure there is enough space to take the fixings on the interior of the wall. Mine stood in storage for the first winter after fitting and when I came to open it up the lock had seized up, rusted inside and I had to drill the lock out to get into the van. Maybe a bit of insulating tape over the key hole or some grease would stop this

I've got the milenco one, easy to fit with a bit of care,I had to get longer screws because hobby caravan walls are thicker than UK vans,it does make it easier to get in or out of the van as well as making more secure
