Camco Part No. 44173 2-Pack Camco RV Baggage Door Catches -- Polar White, 2-Pack

Stop wrestling with a baggage compartment door while your hands are full. These Camco door catches lock your RV storage bay door in the open position, keeping it safely out of the way while you load and unload gear. Simple screw-mount installation, high-impact ABS construction, and a polar white finish that blends with most RV exterior trim.

Keep Your Hands Free at the Cargo Bay

Every RV owner knows the frustration of a baggage door that swings shut mid-load. Camco's 44173 baggage door catches solve that problem with a simple, durable hold-open mechanism that mounts directly to the door or door frame in minutes. No tools beyond a screwdriver required.

Constructed from high-impact ABS plastic, these catches resist the road vibration, temperature swings, and moisture exposure common to exterior RV compartments. The polar white color coordinates with the white or light-colored trim found on a wide range of Class A, Class C, and fifth-wheel rigs.

Hold-Open Design

Catches engage to hold the baggage door in the open position, freeing both hands for loading and unloading cargo.

High-Impact ABS

Durable plastic construction handles road vibration and outdoor exposure without cracking or fading prematurely.

Easy Screw-Mount Install

Mounting holes centered approximately 1 inch apart. Standard screws, no drilling or special hardware needed for most applications.

2 Catches Per Pack

Includes two catches so you can outfit one large door or two separate compartment bays in a single purchase.

Installation Overview

Position the catch body on the door or door frame so the arm engages the strike point cleanly when the door is fully open. Mark and pre-drill pilot holes to avoid cracking the ABS housing, then secure with short pan-head screws. Most installations take under 10 minutes per catch.

Tip: Test door clearance before final fastening. The door should swing past the catch engagement point without binding. Adjust placement slightly inward or outward as needed for a positive hold.

Where These Are Commonly Used

  • Exterior storage and baggage compartment doors on Class A, Class B+, and Class C motorhomes
  • Fifth-wheel and travel trailer basement storage bays
  • Any RV pass-through or drop-floor cargo compartment door
  • Generator compartment doors that require hands-free access during start-up
Color Note: These catches are finished in polar white. If your rig has an almond, beige, or dark trim color, check Camco's door catch line for alternate color options before ordering.

Warranty

Camco backs these door catches with a limited 90-day manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Maintenance Tip: Periodically inspect the catch body and mounting screws for loosening caused by road vibration. A drop of thread-locking compound on the screws at installation helps maintain a secure hold over time.

Important Information
  • These catches are designed to hold doors in the open position only -- they are not a primary door latch or travel lock. Do not use as a closing or road-travel latch.
  • Color is polar white. Verify your RV trim color before ordering; mismatched colors are visible on most exterior panels.
  • Mounting screws are typically not included. Select screw length appropriate for your door material and thickness to avoid penetrating into interior surfaces.
  • Pre-drill pilot holes to prevent cracking the ABS housing during installation.
  • Inspect and re-tighten mounting screws periodically. Road vibration can loosen fasteners over time.
  • Pack contains 2 catches -- enough for one door (using both) or two separate compartment doors (one each).
