Not bad for the price, but not that strong.

I bought these for the tailgate of my van. Before that I bought another brand for the main doors of my motorhome. These magnets are not as strong as the previous ones. They were about half the price and about half the strength. They work marginally as intended, but knowing what I know now I probably would have gone for stronger magnets. They are so weak that strong winds can slam the tailgate shut.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Very expensive

Do not recommend this product

I put this product on my RV they seemed to be good magnets. They still installed them, they didn't hold up the door, the door wasn't even a heavy door, I even had them in a row so I don't recommend them. I made holes in my camper but I didn't have to complete everything. I had to glue the magnets back into the plastic because they fell out AND I couldn't get a refund because I bought them and then waited a few months to install them, so yes, sorry, not recommended!

  • Dope πŸ”₯

Doesn't hold the camper door open.

We have friction hinges on our camper door but they still won't stay open on windy days.

The hold is still not very strong, but at least they stay connected when the door is open. If this still turns out to be not strong enough I will try to find a stronger set of magnets for mounting in cases. I want them to state…

  • Weight

Good in concept, bad in practice.

So after reading many good reviews on these RV magnets I bought a set of four, two for the coupe doors which currently don't have latches and one for my front trailer door which has a quarter on the Substitute. I received a pack of four magnets and immediately noticed that two of the four sets of magnets were regular strength. The other two are not very good. One set could barely support the weight of a matching base, while the other was strong and anemic somewhere in between. I returned a…
