Magnet on UDC Door

[Chippendale]

A welcome addition would be a magnet on the door that opens the UDC compartment similar to the one that holds the storage door open on the curb side of the coach. One part of the magnet would have to be on the door to the propane tank compartment, but that would not bother me. When I have that compartment open during set up or tear down for travel, the wind slams the door against the side of the rig, or into me. Would think this would be an inexpensive fix to a constant problem. I know one magnet is not going to hold the door open in a strong wind, but it would help for most light breezes that seem to slam the door around. I would not mind two magnets for stronger winds.

Another simple fix a lot of us have done is to install a door holder (like the one that holds your entry door open) on the door with the holder on the propane tank compartment door. Here's a link to one, but most RV dealers with a parts department have them.

Did that some time ago. Use a piece of thin aluminum flat stock to reinforce the mountings.
