Vepagoo 23 in 67Lb Gas Struts Lift Supports - Heavy Lid Duty

In this review the Vepagoo 23 in 67Lb gas struts prove to be a practical choice for anyone replacing or upgrading heavy lid supports on RV bed storage, trailer basement doors, boat hatches and similar applications. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a 67lb/298N force and a 23 in extended length that handles lids roughly 34-46 in wide and weighing about 53-74 lbs, delivering noticeably smoother lifting action than lighter alternatives. Installation is straightforward when measurements match, and the included L-type brackets add useful mounting flexibility.

Key Features

• 67lb Force: Provides sufficient lifting assistance for medium to heavy lids so opening and closing feel controlled rather than abrupt.
• 23 in Length: The 23 in extended and 13.55 in compressed dimensions make it suitable for common RV and trailer bed storage lids where reach matters.
• L-type Mounting Brackets: Brackets and ball ends can be unscrewed and rotated to fit a variety of mounting orientations for easier alignment.
• Durable Construction: High-strength steel components aim to extend service life under regular indoor and outdoor use.
• Complete Pair Package: Ships as two struts with four thickened brackets and M8 nuts, providing both sides of a lid with matched support.

Who It's For

The Vepagoo 23 in 67Lb gas struts are best for RV owners, trailer builders, boat owners and DIYers who need a reliable pair of lift supports for medium-heavy lids and hatch covers. They suit applications like RV bed storage, basement trap doors, box lids and outdoor cabinets where a consistent lifting force around 67lb is required.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of very light lids below about 53 lb who would benefit from a weaker spring, and people who need exact compression or extended lengths different from 13.55 in compressed or 23 in extended; measuring the lid and hinge points is important before purchase.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid lifting power for medium-heavy lids, giving smoother and safer opening motion.
• Easy to install with reversible L-type brackets and rotatable ball ends for varied mounting positions.
• Good build quality and thicker brackets that suggest longer service life in outdoor and indoor uses.

Cons

• Strength and exact fit receive mixed feedback; some users may find the force marginal for the heaviest lids in the stated range, so accurate measurement is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these struts fit my RV bed lid?
Measure the lid span and mounting points; these struts suit lids roughly 34-46 in wide weighing 53-74 lb and require 23 in extended and 13.55 in compressed clearance.

Are screws included for mounting?
The package includes brackets and M8 nuts but not screws, so purchase appropriate screws separately for your substrate.

What if the force feels too weak or too strong?
Feedback shows some variability in perceived strength; confirm lid weight and hinge geometry first, and contact the seller for guidance or replacement under the 18 month support if needed.
