Hey there, it appears you own a retroride teardrop made in Plover Wisconsin. Looks like someone has sent you the strut calculator as well. The springs can be purchased at a marine or boat supply store. My wife and I own a teardrop built by Stuart in Plover and after two sets of springs being replaced, I built oak 2x2 struts for ours. It is a bit cumbersome to put up the galley door but they don’t break. Hope this helps and good luck.
