No More Rattling: How to Make Your Dishes Magnetic in Your RV

Morning breakfast in the van is wonderful – if it weren't for the annoying rattling while driving and the worry that the cup in the cupboard will shatter during the next braking maneuver. Many campers resort to melamine tableware or wrap everything in dishcloths. But there's a smarter way: Your personal dish upgrade with magnets and Flexigel.

Why magnetic dish securing is the best solution

Once you've switched to magnets, you won't want to go back. Here's why "retrofitting" is worthwhile:

- No new purchase necessary: Simply continue using your favorite dishes.

- Full space utilization: Thanks to magnets, you can store plates and cups securely and compactly.

- Silence in the interior: Rattling while driving is a thing of the past.

The system: How magnetic hold works

The gelmags® principle is incredibly simple: If you have magnetically retrofitted your existing dishes with a MagUp-Pad , you need a suitable counterpart (Flexigel-Pads) on the storage surface so that everything stays securely in place.

Your options for the perfect counterpart:

- Flexigel series: Our Flexigel pads, Flexigel coasters, Flexigel strips, or Flexigel placemats offer you a flexible and residue-free removable solution.

- Metal solutions: Alternatively, you can use our metal strips or metal pads as a permanent counterpart.

Simple principle: These counterparts are simply glued to the desired surface in the cupboard, on the table, or the kitchenette. Then you simply place your magnetically retrofitted dishes on them – the magnet finds its hold as if by itself.

How to succeed with your magnetic upgrade (step-by-step)

1. Choosing the right MagUp-Pad

We have compiled the solutions for your needs:

MagUp-Pad Size	Base diameter (Ø)	Ideal for
Size S	4.0 – 7.0 cm	Cups, espresso cups, small drinking glasses
Size M	4.0 – 10.0 cm	Bowls, small to medium plates, bowls
Size L	4.0 – 14.0 cm	Large dinner plates, large bowls & dishes

2. Preparing the surface

To ensure the Flexigel holds "rock solid," preparation is crucial.

Pro Tip: Flexigel technology adheres best to smooth, sealed surfaces. The surfaces must be dry, grease-free, and dust-free for the adhesive bond to work optimally.

3. Installation without drilling

Forget special tools or drill holes in your camper conversion. Our Flexigel pads and MagUp pads are easy to apply, can be removed without residue if needed, and are even reusable after cleaning with water.
