RV Magnetic Door Catch Kit (with Adhesive Tape & Screws) — Camper Trailer Door Holder, 1 Pack
Product description
If your RV door swings shut at the worst possible moment, a magnetic door catch is a simple way to keep it where you need it. This RV magnetic door stopper kit is built for quick install and hands-free use—so you can move gear in and out without juggling the door.
That said, it’s not a “one size fits all” solution. On paper, it depends pretty heavily on your door-to-RV-body spacing and whether adhesive-only mounting is enough for your specific door weight.
The essentials
This kit includes 1 magnetic door stopper kit, 2 double-sided adhesive tapes, 2 expansion tubes, and 4 screws—so you can choose adhesive mounting or screw mounting. The magnet is designed to hold firmly even from different angles, using a round suction-head style that’s meant to attach multi-angle. There’s also a black silicone shell around the magnet for cushioning and quieter contact, which can help reduce jarring against the door and wall.
A key practical detail: the magnetic catch is described as compact (about 2×2.1 inches after suction). The shorter design aims to reduce the space taken up between the door and the RV wall, which may help the door open wider for easier entry and exit.
What you’ll notice in day-to-day use
Picture unloading camping chairs and small bins from the entry door. You hook the door open, then you’re not stuck holding it with your shoulder while you reach for the next item. In other uses, it can keep cabinet doors, bathroom doors, and storage room doors from drifting closed—useful when you’re carrying something bulky or you just want better airflow.
Two different installation approaches make it flexible: - Adhesive fixing: no drilling, so it’s positioned as a lower-effort setup and less invasive for doors/walls. - Screw fixing: meant to provide more stability and stronger mounting, which matters if you want less movement in real-world conditions.
A small limitation to keep in mind: the listing suggests that if you have heavy RV doors, you may want to use two catches at the same time for stronger holding power. So if your door is on the heavier side, plan for that possibility instead of expecting one catch to do everything.
Key features that matter before you install
The “round suction head” concept is designed for multi-angle attachment, with strong magnetic force from any angle per the description. In plain terms, that’s meant to reduce the frustration of having to align things perfectly every time.
The silicone shell is another detail that’s easy to overlook—until you notice how it cushions contact. Less harsh impact can mean less wear and fewer annoying clunks when the door meets the stopper.
You’ll also want to check a compatibility factor before buying: measure the distance between the door and the RV’s body when the door is fully opened. The product description says this distance should be within 2 inches. If you’re outside that range, the catch may not attach the way you expect or may reduce door opening performance.
Best use cases (and when it might not be the move)
This kit makes the most sense if you want a straightforward way to keep an RV door or interior doors from closing while you move around. It’s also the kind of accessory that fits well when you’re improving daily convenience—entry access, carrying items, and basic airflow in enclosed spaces.
It may not suit you as well if: - Your RV door-to-RV-body spacing (fully opened) is more than 2 inches. - You expect a single catch to reliably hold a heavy door without additional support. - You specifically want an ultra-permanent mounting without considering screw placement—because you’ll still need to choose between adhesive and screws based on your situation.
If you’re comparing it to “freehand” solutions (like manually propping a door with a strap or object), this is the more convenient approach. If you’re comparing it to more complex door hardware, it’s simpler and more accessory-like—but you’ll want to be honest about your door weight and spacing.

Buying verdict
Worth considering if you want a compact, magnetic RV door holder for hands-free use, and you can confirm the door-to-body spacing is within the stated 2-inch limit. It’s a practical buy for entry doors and interior door situations where you’d rather not prop doors open manually.
You may want to skip it if you’re dealing with heavier RV doors and only plan to use one catch, or if your door-to-RV-body spacing doesn’t match the “within 2 inches when fully opened” guidance. In those cases, the setup can feel like it’s working against your installation geometry rather than helping.
Mini FAQ
How do I install this magnetic door catch—can I avoid drilling? Yes. The kit supports two methods: double-sided adhesive tape (no drilling as described) and screw mounting (more stable per the description).
What should I measure before buying? Measure the distance between the door and the RV’s body when the door is fully opened, since the listing states it should be within 2 inches.
Will it work for cabinets or bathroom/storage doors, not just the entry door? According to the description, it’s designed for entrance doors as well as cabinet, bathroom, and storage room doors.
Do I need screws or adhesive? It depends on how stable you need it to be. Adhesive is positioned as quick and non-drilling, while screw fixing is positioned as stronger and more stable.
Is one catch enough for a heavy door? The listing specifically notes that for heavy RV doors, using two catches at the same time may be needed for stronger holding power—so one may not be ideal.
