Vepagoo 25 in Gas Struts 200Lb/890N Lift Support - Heavy Lid Duty

In this review the Vepagoo 25 in gas struts are assessed as a practical option for anyone needing a reliable lift support for heavy lids and doors. The pair is most useful for RV bed storage, camper beds, travel trailer lids and similar applications where a smooth, assisted lift is needed; the single biggest reason to buy is the strong 200lb/890N force that handles 185-215 lb lids with minimal effort while using a familiar L-type mounting system. Installation is straightforward for users comfortable with basic hardware and the set includes the brackets and nuts needed for most installs.

Key Features

• Force and fit: The 200lb/890N force provides steady, controlled lifting for lids roughly 37-50 in wide that weigh between 185 and 215 lb.
• Length range: With a 25.00 in extended length and 14.00 in compressed length the struts cover common travel trailer and RV lid geometries for reliable support.
• Durable construction: High-strength steel construction is used to improve longevity and resist wear in indoor and outdoor installations.
• L-type mounting: The included L-type mounting brackets and ball ends can be rotated and adjusted to match a variety of mounting points for universal-style installation.
• Complete basic kit: The package comes with 2 struts, 4 thickened brackets and 4 M8 nuts plus instructions so most installs only need screws purchased separately.
• Support and warranty: The product is backed by responsive customer service and an 18-month replacement support policy for order protection.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at RV owners, camper builders and DIYers who need a durable lift support for storage lids, bed platforms, boat hatches and outdoor cabinets in the 185-215 lb range. It suits people who want a straightforward mechanical upgrade that makes heavy lids easier to open and hold, and who can measure their lid to check the 25 in extended length fits their geometry.

It may not be the best choice for very light lids under 185 lb, for extremely heavy industrial lids above 215 lb, or for users who cannot add separate mounting screws (the kit does not include screws). Anyone uncomfortable modifying brackets or drilling new holes should consider professional installation help.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong 200lb force yields smooth, effortless lifting on correctly matched lids.
• L-type brackets and ball ends are adjustable and reversible for flexible mounting options.
• Sturdy steel construction and included hardware (brackets and M8 nuts) improve long-term value.
• Manufacturer support and an 18-month replacement policy provide added confidence.

Cons

• Mounting screws are not included so installers must supply the correct fasteners separately.
• Some users reported mixed results with bracket bending under installation stress, so careful mounting and correct placement matter.

Our Verdict

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these struts fit my RV bed?
They fit most bed storage lids that measure and fall within the recommended 37-50 in width and 185-215 lb weight range; measure your lid geometry against the 25 in extended and 14 in compressed lengths before buying.

Are mounting screws included?
The kit includes brackets and M8 nuts but not the screws; you will need to purchase appropriate screws for your surface and thickness.

What if a bracket bends during install?
If a bracket bends, check that the mounting angle and fasteners are correct and contact customer service for guidance or replacement under the 18-month support policy.
