struts

I have a Murphy bed in my 2017 Rockwood mini lite 2503s. I would like to replace the gas lifts/struts that don’t seem to be helping much in lifting. I’m not sure what the replacement ought to be. I’m told to take one out to match it. But if I can avoid that I’d like to, until I have the...

Greetings. Briefly, does anyone know the specs for the precharged queen bed struts supplied in the 2018 303rls (length, force, any req'd specifics)? The originals are Ka-poot-ski and whatever their original force rating is it's now WAY light. Between a mattress topper and the plethora of...

Alright I hate to start another strut post but I need a second or third or maybe even forth mind on this to make sure I'm not oversimplifying this. I used the calculator that Dan put together on here to get some preliminary numbers. My hatch is 56" from hinge to end, dead weight is about 65lbs...

Some additional modifications: 1)Added struts to slam latch doors to hold them open A-La prestige 2) best fitting seat covers to protect the new seats from turning old fast 3) entrance stair faux granite tile and railing ( lights to be added soon) More to share

We have a 2020 Montana 3121RL and the driver side front storage door doesn't rise enough and I keep hitting my head. If I replace these two struts with 30" struts instead of the 20" original struts what do I have to do. Is this just a matter of taking out the old struts and snapping in the new...

I have owned 3 Newmars - current Coach is a 2022 Newmar Dutch Star 4081 - the other day I opened one of my baggage compartment doors and the strut leaked fluid and now will not operate. I have never had this issue before in any of my Coaches. has anyone else experienced this issue - was...

AARGH!! I want to install mechanical liftgate supports on my hatch, but every search I do shows me gas shock type supports. While I acknowledge the niceties of gas shocks, I don't want the associated problems inherent with gas and cold temps. Where can I find a purely mechanical hatch...

My hatch door is 55.5" long x 41.5" wide & weighs 37 lbs. I used the calculator and it says I need 24.9" struts @ 450 newtons (?) and the placement diagram has me baffled. I also looked at a couple of other calculators online and they said basically the same thing. I couldn't find struts rated...

I have a 2016 Entegra Cornerstone with cargo bay doors that open slowly or incompletely. I would like to replace the gas struts but cannot find the specs. for them. They measure 20 inches from ball socket to socket and the throw is 8 inches. They measure 3/4 inch (18mm) in diameter. I don’t know...

Under the Sprinter Hood I added a par of Lift Struts, as I was concerned myself or another wood try and close the Hood thereby bending it. Did some long online searches not knowing what I was looking for and found this Tip#260. Click Here But after calling I learned where to get them for my...

The first time I lifted the Hood of my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter VAN. On the Passenger, is a Bar latch that holds the hood up. In reading Tips # 260, for vans. Once I almost over-closing, the hood. Which would have damaged it and have been on guard ever since. I thought this link might be more...

Hi. Can anyone tell me the size of the Gas struts on the exterior kitchen storage compartment door. The previous owners removed them and I would like to add some to hold the compartment door open, but I have no reference on what size. We ordered 30 inch./17 inch but the door wouldn’t close. We...

We replaced the 20 lb mattress that came with the RV with a Foam mattress that weighs in at 54 lbs. As expected, the new load overloads the factory lift struts so accessing the under-bed storage space is a real chore and a strain for both me and my wife. A friend uses a 1' X 1' piece of lumber...

We took these off our Hawk camper. They were on the inside to help push the top up. We got external struts instead. These are free to you - just venmo or paypal me the shipping costs. Includes the struts and the brackets. Breece

After purchasing a 2019 Greyhawk Prestige, I wanted to have bed lifters installed in order to access the under bed storage only to be told by the Camping World service rep that they would have to completely rebuild the bed at a cost of $750. Why doesn't Jayco install bed lifters to begin with...

I upgraded my one year old 30 pound external gas struts from my 2016 Fleet and are how offering them for sale. Note that these are the 40 inch long models. All four for $80, plus $10 shipping. SOLD as of 8/22/18

Hey all! So I'm a first time camper owner as of hopefully this week. I am looking at an '84 fourwheel popup. I think it is a Fleet model, because it fits in my Tacoma bed (6 ft) but the current owner told me it is a granby...I think its too small to be a granby though. Regardless, I have a bit...

I'm new to truck campers and just purchased a 2002 Lance 1130. The previous owner included some cab over struts (which are not the right size for my truck) and was wondering if they are really necessary . New ones to fit from Lance are $485.
