NiksNaks Hab Strap
Another exclusive product from NiksNaks! The door retainers on Motorhomes and Caravans often will not hold the door open securely in windy conditions, both the main entrance door and locker doors. This is a plate that fixes with 2 heavy duty suction cups to your van, with a strong bungee cord and non-scratch plastic hook to hold your door open - when not in use the cord can be wound around the plate and held in the slots as shown.
For an overview, please see the video on this listing.
The suction cups are the very best on the market - American made, thick heavy duty cups that will not go yellow in the sun and split like the multitude of cheap Chinese suction cups on the market. We've sold these for many years for use with silver screens and awning panels, we know they are the best, but not the cheapest! As always with suction cups do not stick them on top of decals or vinyl wrap on your van.
The suction cups are each rated by the manufacturer to hold 3.2kg (7lbs) - meaning our plate will take 14 lbs of force before it parts company with your van. But - we did our own tests and found it took just over 40 lbs of force before our plate would come off a smooth surface. The cups have a tag on the edge to enable you to break the suction and easily release them when you want to leave.
The plate is precision laser cut from chunky 5mm / 3/8" thick acrylic, with 2 slots to hold the cord when it's not attached to the door, stop it knocking against the side of your van. The cord is heavy duty and can be shortened easily if required. Unlike the steel wire hooks found on most bungees, our plastic one is designed not to scratch your van and can be hooked onto something or back onto itself.

We want your problems! Who are NiksNaks?
NiksNaks are Nik & Carol, who have now partnered with Geoff & Jenny of Parrotsol_Central to exclusively distribute their products. We're all experienced motorhomers - it all started with Nik & Carol having some niggles and frustrations with certain design features of their motorhome. Nik is a retired engineer, and with help & inspiration from Carol he started designing & making solutions to those problems using his precision laser cutter.
Sharing those ideas on Facebook soon made them realise that many others shared those frustrations! Demand took off rapidly, feedback was excellent, and it became clear that to give Nik & Carol time to both enjoy retired life & design more products they needed a distribution partner who shared their values. That's where Geoff & Jenny came in - Geoff is also an engineer, and with a shared value for excellent customer service and unique, well designed motorhome products it was an obvious fit.
Why do we want your problems? Well, that's the inspiration to help us design new products to solve them! We want the frustrations from real world users of caravans and motorhomes, just like us.
Check on Facebook for the group "NiksNaks for Motorhomes" - don't worry, we won't discriminate if you've got a caravan! - and post those little niggly design problems with your van that frustrate you.
