Hatchlift RV Door Lift Kit – Light-Duty Hydraulic Strut for Secure, Easy Access to Storage, Cargo & Compartment Doors – Durable and Reliable Support – Fits RV Doors 21 to 27 Inch in Height – Standard

These go on very easily. Instructions are simple. About the only thing I will say is you need to predrill the plates for the piece the strut attaches to. Predrill them before installing them on the door. The door in this situation is just a foam core door and you don't want to drill all the way thru the door. So mark up the plate before installing and drill a small hole so the self taping screw will go in easily. Then install the plate to the door.

Great product! Easy to install. My only issue is, I wish you could order cylinders with a little less strength in them for doors like mine. My doors are VERY cheap and lightweight. SO much so that the inner panel on 1 door is now moving around inside the frame. Not the Hatchlift's fault. It works great and I'm sure it will work better with heavier doors. The reason I use them is because when the doors are open and the wind blows the doors smash into the side of the camper.

Bought two of these hatch lifts to put on the cargo door for RV. Installation took about an hour and a half for both. All the parts were there except it didn't come with self tapping screws as it says it does. So had to drill pilot holes in the cargo door to install. If you don't feel comfortable doing drilling I would suggest finding some self-tapping screws at a local hardware store. Otherwise make sure you use a variable speed drill and just run it at a slow speed to get through the door and any metal pieces that might be within the cargo door. Once everything was installed and the gas Springs connected, it worked perfectly. One additional thing to note is that the cargo door that I have flips up a whole 180°. You can only go 160° with these gas springs. So I just used a right triangle calculator that I googled and then figured how far out the top of the cargo door had to be from the side wall. Then cut a piece of wood at the correct length and put it at the top of the door so it kept the top of the door out to create the 160 degree angle. Hopefully you understand what I am talking about. The piece of wood that I used was 10 and 1/4 in long. I would recommend this product to other people but with the caveat that it doesn't come with self-tapping screws so be prepared to drill or go buy some self-tapping screws.

You only receive one ram and for my instalation 2 were required and I had to order a second oneDouble you cost but it was worth it to get the installation hardware.

These struts are a life(head) saver for under slide-out applications. The directions for install were great and the easy adjust hole slots make it simple to get the correct height adjustment once installed. I now love opening my storage hatch.

Instructions were not clear. I initially installed the metal plate according to the directions and once I installed the shock, the door would not close more than 3/4. I had to lower the position of the metal plate and lower the mount on the inside of the door as well just to get it to work. Other than that, the product seems to work now.

They worked hard to solve our issue. The lift for our RV bunk door works great!

Great kit and easy to install. They work like a charm for my baggage compartment doors on my 5th wheel. Highly recommend Hatchlift!
