RV Designer Utility Clips & Holders
RV Designer Utility Clips & Holders
Small hardware often decides whether an RV feels well sorted or frustrating. RV Designer's utility clips and holders address everyday jobs around a motorhome or travel trailer, such as keeping an entry door from swinging shut or hanging rope lights along an awning. The brand's range in this category is compact and practical, built around the real routines of life on the road.
A Brand Rooted in RV Hardware
RV Designer started in 1993, making custom drapes for RVs and has since expanded into replacement hardware for motorhomes, travel trailers, and other recreational vehicles. That RV-first focus shapes its clips and holders. They are designed around the doors, awnings, and exterior surfaces of recreational vehicles rather than adapted from general-purpose hardware. You can learn more about the company and its wider lineup on the RV Designer brand page.
Klippy Klips for Awning Lighting
One of the best-known items in this category is the Klippy Klips line of awning clips. The M122 version is made for rope lights: it holds 3/8" or 1/2" diameter rope lights and uses rust-proof, stainless steel spring clips. The clips pivot, the hooks swivel, and the body is made of high-impact plastic. Those details matter outdoors, where moisture exposure and repeated handling can quickly wear out a basic clip.
The same family includes the M111 Klippy Klips light hangers, and there are related awning hangers made for the roller bar channel. One of these, the M130, is made of steel with a zinc-plated surface and a PVC tab, and slides into the awning roller bar channel. Campers use them to hang party lights, signs, and plants without drilling into anything.
C-Style Entry Door Holders
The other major product family is the entry door holder. RV Designer's C-clip style holders, such as the E241 in white plastic, grip the door and keep it open while you load gear or move in and out of the camper. Replacement clips are offered separately, which is useful because the clip is the part that usually wears out. For example, the E242 clip is meant to be used with RV Designer C-Clip door holders and replaces broken or damaged ones. Replacing only the clip saves you from removing and remounting the whole holder.
What to Consider When Choosing
- Application: Choose awning clips for lighting and decor, and door holders for keeping a door open.
- Size match: Rope light clips are sized for specific diameters, and door holders come in different lengths, so check measurements before ordering.
- Material: Plastic clips resist corrosion and are easy to replace, while steel hangers handle more weight along an awning rail.
- Compatibility: Clip-only replacements work with the matching C-clip holder style, so identify what is already on your RV.
