Vepagoo Gas Struts 20 in 120Lb Lift Support - Heavy Duty Lid Springs

Our review of the Vepagoo Gas Struts 20 in 120Lb lift support finds it best for owners of RV bed storage, camper and trailer lids who need dependable, heavy duty assistance opening and holding large lids. The single biggest reason to consider these gas springs is their 120Lb/534N force combined with a 20 in extended length and 12 in compressed length, which delivers smooth, controlled lifting for 30-40 in lids in the 105-135 lb range. Installation is straightforward for those who measure and prepare mounting hardware, and the pair performs well once mounted.

Key Features

• Force and range: The 120Lb/534N force with 20 in extended and 12 in compressed lengths provides firm, controlled lift for heavy lids.
• Wide application: Designed for indoor and outdoor heavy duty lids, these struts fit RV bed storage, camper beds, trailer beds, boat hatches and similar uses without specialized parts.
• High-strength construction: Built from high-strength steel to resist wear and deliver a longer service life under frequent use.
• L-type mounting versatility: L-type brackets and removable ball ends allow rotation and repositioning to suit different installation geometries.
• Complete pair kit: The package includes two struts, four thickened brackets and four M8 nuts so most installations have the main components ready.

Who It's For

This kit suits RV owners, travel trailer and camper DIYers, and boat or outdoor cabinet owners who need a reliable lift support for lids in the 105-135 lb range and about 30-40 in width. It is also useful for basement trap doors and box lids where a strong, consistent gas spring is required.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who cannot or will not supply their own mounting screws or need custom-length struts; measure your lid carefully before buying because fit and hinge placement affect performance. If you need step-by-step installation hardware included with screws, consider a kit that supplies every fastener.
