Vepagoo 30 in Gas Struts 35Lb/156N Lift Supports - Smooth Lift

In this review the Vepagoo 30 in gas struts are evaluated for homeowners and RV owners who need reliable lift supports for medium-weight lids. The main reason to consider these struts is their combination of a long 30 in extended length and 35lb/156N force, which delivers a smooth, controlled lift for 45-60 in lids weighing about 28-39lbs. The package approach, with two struts and multiple L-type brackets, makes these a practical replacement or upgrade for RV bed storage, trailer hatches and other indoor or outdoor lids.

Key Features

• 30 in extended length: The long 30 in extension gives clearance and reach needed for larger lids and hatches so the lid opens fully without binding.
• 35lb/156N force: This force rating is matched to lift lids in the 28-39lb range, providing steady support without sudden drops.
• L-type mounting brackets: Brackets and ball ends can be unscrewed and rotated for flexible, universal mounting positions to fit different hinge locations.
• Durable construction: High-strength steel components are specified to improve longevity for both indoor and outdoor applications exposed to regular use.
• Complete installation kit: The set includes 2 struts, 4 thickened brackets and 4 M8 nuts plus instructions and online videos to simplify fitting.
• Customer support and warranty: Vepagoo offers 18 months replacement support and installation help for buyers needing guidance.

Who It's For

These gas struts are best for RV owners, travel trailer users, boat owners and homeowners replacing or upgrading lift supports on bed storage compartments, outdoor TV cabinets, box lids and floor hatches that measure well for a 30 in extended strut. The product suits anyone who wants a tidy kit with brackets and clear force guidance so installation can be done with basic tools.

Those who should look elsewhere include users with lids much heavier or lighter than the 28-39lb recommended range, or installations that require a different stroke or mounting geometry; accurate measurement of lid length and hinge placement is important because some customers reported mixed results when length or compression expectations did not match their setup.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Well-built steel struts offer reliable, smooth lifting action for appropriate lids.
• L-type brackets and removable ball ends add mounting flexibility for varied installations.
• Installation kit and online instructions make fitting straightforward for most DIYers.

Cons

• Strength can be mixed depending on specific lid weight and mounting geometry, so they may feel underpowered for some users.

Our Verdict

The Vepagoo 30 in 35lb struts are a practical, cost-effective choice for owners of RV beds, trailer hatches and medium-weight lids who need dependable lift support and flexible mounting.
