Gas pistons and RV accessories are critical components for facilitating the opening and closing of doors, flaps and hatches. By ensuring smooth and controlled movements, they allow you to reduce effort and increase safety during daily use of the vehicle. These devices improve comfort and convenience, making it easier to repeat operations even in confined spaces.
Types of gas pistons and accessories for motorhomes
The range includes single and double pistons and mounting brackets. Single pistons assist single openings, ideal for lightweight doors or lockers, dual pistons provide added strength and stability for larger doors and hatches, while mounts facilitate secure and adjustable mounting. All products are made of materials resistant to shock, pressure and weathering, ensuring long life and reliable operation. Using suitable gas pistons means making the movements of doors and flaps safer and smoother, increasing comfort, practicality and protection during every journey or stop.
The gas springs shown in the category are specific for VR applications, i.e. for doors or lockers or bed lifting.
Below is an indicative example of calculating the force F1 at 20°C for a basic application (e.g. a hatch):
F1=Pxa / bxn
P = Door weight (kg.) a = Door length / 2 (mm) F1 = Reaction of the extended stem spring (kg.) b = Shortest distance between the spring attachment point and the door fulcrum n = Number of gas springs used
