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

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.

This is an extremely well made product and I was looking forward to the installation and use on my Winnebago motorhome. Unfortunately, due to some latches in the compartments prevented installation in my rig. After several days of trying, I was able to finally communicate with someone at Hatchlift and they let me know that the lift kit would not work for me. Disappointed!If the kit had worked, I probably would have rated at least a 4. The only reason I would not give a 5 was due to their lack of customer service.

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.

This is an excellent product that includes all necessary hardware. Be sure to order 2 kits if you have a wide door, this is recommended in the product description and is good advice. The supplier, Hatchlift, was very quick to exchange heavier gas springs for the light ones that I received. I followed the kit recommendation for my door size, but my door is heavier than the standard that the recommendation is based on. The exchange was happily and promptly done with no hassles.

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

I installed 2 lifts on my water/sewer door on a Forest River Sun Seeker Class C RV. The kit provides everything needed for the install except the tools. I installed both lifts in under an hour. Instructions were detailed and easy to follow. I would purchase this product again even though it seems a bit high priced.

The assembly directions were not correct. The placing and position of the large panel is not correct.when you position the arm in the center (as shown) of that panel it doesn't work. the cylinder bottoms out.No hole choice is working.It is actually about an inch more towards the hinge.I filled the unwanted holes with screws.Oh yes, no Saturday tech support. :-(

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.

Facile d’installation. Le seul petit problème et que les vis autoperforantes ne fonctionnent pas. Il faut faire un trou avec une mèche. C’est mineur comme problème mais les instructions ne sont pas exactes.

Awesome product. Great instructions, easy install. Terrific customer service from Hatchlift.

Item excellent j'adore le tout se travaille à la merveille
