Why magnets?

Why choose magnets over suction cups for your vanlife accessories?

When fitting out your van, every accessory needs to be practical, reliable, and easy to install . Suction cups may seem like a good option, but magnetic mounts are often much better suited to the needs of vanlifers. Here's why!

1. More reliable and durable fixation

Suction cups tend to lose their grip over time, especially in the presence of dust, humidity, or temperature fluctuations. Magnets, on the other hand, provide a consistent and lasting hold, ensuring your accessories stay securely in place even when moving.

2. Ultra-fast installation and removal

With a magnetic system, the accessory can be easily attached to and removed from any metal surface. No need to moisten a suction cup or apply heavy pressure for it to stick, making it ideal for modular design.

3. Resistance to climatic conditions

Suction cups often detach in extreme heat or cold , which can be problematic when traveling. Magnets, on the other hand, retain their adhesive strength regardless of weather conditions.

4. Body protection with a PETG frame

One potential drawback of magnets is that they can scratch the bodywork if they come into direct contact with metal. To prevent this while maintaining optimal adhesion, a PETG frame is used around the magnets. This frame slightly raises the magnet, preventing direct contact with the bodywork while still allowing for a strong hold. Strong and durable, PETG protects the van's paintwork without reducing the effectiveness of the magnetization.

5. No traces or residue

Unlike suction cups, which often leave marks or sticky residue, PETG-framed magnets won't dirty the surface they're attached to. This is a significant advantage for keeping your home clean and attractive.

Conclusion

To optimize space and practicality in a van, magnetic mounts are an ideal solution compared to suction cups. They are more reliable, easier to install, and leave no marks. By incorporating a PETG frame, they become even more secure for the bodywork, thus offering a durable and vehicle-friendly solution. Opt for well-designed accessories and make your daily life in a van easier!
