  • RVlock prevents entry door magnet from mating fully

    The main door on this RV is typically held open against a magnet mounted on the trailer exterior wall. With the aftermarket RVlock installed with it's added height, the door and magnet did not quite touch. I think it's been this way for some time, as there is a pretty good mark on the wall - hopefully it will buff out somewhat.

    My son designed a 1/2" spacer and printed it in black plastic.

    With longer screws, it filled the gap nicely, and holds the door securely when open now.

    BWSTGDS - nice! 3D printing is one of those hobbies that I'd like to dabble in at some point. So many interesting things to try...so little time...
