Door Risers?? 1989 American Outbacker teardrop trailer..

Postby Squirrel » Fri May 20, 2011 4:44 pm

Need new Door Risers/lifts for my Gull Wing Doors.. Having a hard time locating a good place to purchase them.

Tired of using a canoe paddle to prop them up.


Anyone help?

Looking for the same style as the ones holding up the doors and rear hatch in the picture..

Need more info and/or close up picture.

I assume they are hinged at the bend. Is there a spring or hydraulic lift assist or manual? If manual, does it ratchet?

Not exactly the same, but maybe something can be made to work?
