Note

When replacing gas shock on your vehicle or RV, you will want to make sure you are buying a replacement with the exact same extended length, compressed length, and pounds of force. This information is usually printed on the shock. Lengths are measured from the center of the ball joint used for mounting. If you are planning on installing gas shocks on something for the first time, identifying the shock you need requires fairly complex initial calculations, so be sure to do your research to avoid purchasing a shock that will not fit your application.

  • Recommended RV Entry Door Gas Strut For A Thor Class C Motorhome
    A typical RV entry door gas strut ranges from 10-20lbs in pressure. We carry both a 10lbs # 372-5300-10 and 20lbs # 372-5300-20 that you can use. Really it just comes down to preference and the climate. If you're in a windy climate going heavier will help prevent the door from flying open/closed in the wind.

  • How To Install a Gas Shock/Strut On a RV Door That Never Had One
    A Gas Shock # 372-5300-20 is attached to your door and frame with Mounting Brackets # 372BR-1015. To position the mounting brackets correctly you will need to consider the shock dimensions along with the size of the door. This shock is 11.41" compressed and 20" extended and those measurements are from center of attachment point to center of attachment point. I find it best to temporarily position the mounting brackets with a double sided tape or painters tape to more easily be able to ensure...

  • Replacement RV Door Gas Shock Recommendation
    For an RV Entry door gas shock the Gas Shock # 372-5300-20 with 20 lbs of force should be sufficient to make opening and closing your door fairly easy. Since the stickers on your shock don't have the lbs of force listed I recommend going with this and then if you end up needing something with more strength down the road you can go that route - it will be much better to have a little less power than a little more power. Worst case scenario you can try to find a sticker for the door manufacturer...

  • Replacement Gas Shock For RV Door
    The closest we have is Gas Shock # 372-5300-20 which requires 20lbs of force and measures 20" extended and 11.4" compressed. If this doesn't work, you can install new brackets # 372BR-1020 or # 372BR-12552 which have the 10mm ball for the gas shock. This way you can rearrange the brackets on your RV door to make it work with a different sized shock.

  • Replacement For 15 lb 20 Inch Extended Gas Shock
    From what I could find it looks like that gas strut you have is rated for 15 lbs and measures 12" when compressed and 20" when extended. For that the closest option we have is the Gas Shock - 20 lb Force - 20" Extended, 11.41" Compressed # 372-5300-20. This fits on a 10-mm ball socket like your current shock does. If this is part of a set then I do recommend replacing both so that everything runs evenly.

  • How Can I Determine Which Gas Strut I Have?
    The weight rating on your gas strut # 372-5300-20 would normally be printed in LBS or NM somewhere on the strut however since your strut's labels have worn off then your best bet is to measure for a new one. In general, the length to choose for gas struts is about 55% of the height of the hatch or door you are trying to keep open. So, if you have a door that is 1000mm (39") in height a 550mm (19.7") long gas strut would be about right. Basically, you'd take half the door height plus a...

  • What Info is Needed to Pick Out Replacement Gas Shock for Camper
    Hey Richard, to pick out a replacement gas shock I'd need to know the compressed and extended length you need as well as the weight of the door. For example, the part # 372-5300-20 has 20 lb of force and has an extended length of 20 inches and a compressed length of 11.41 inches.

  • Recommended Replacement Struts for Storage Compartments
    Unless the force is specifically listed on your current strut, it is unlikely that you will be able to find the exact pressure. There is no standard for the numbers printed on them. For storage compartments, I would recommend a strut with 10-20 lbs of force like the Gas Shock - 10 lb Force - 20" Extended, 11.41" Compressed - Black Nitride # 372-5300-10 or Gas Shock - 20 lb Force # 372-5300-20. You will want to measure the length in order to find the right size. I have attached two different...

  • How To Find Correct Replacement Gas Shock for Outdoor Kitchen on Trailer

  • Gas Shock Recommendation for Folding RV Storage Bed
    I believe what you're looking for is something like a gas shock, like the 20 lb Force JR Products # 372-5300-20. To mount this shock you'll need a set of brackets with the 10 mm ball socket. You can use part # 372BR-1015 for an angled bracket or part # 372BR-1020 for a flat bracket. If you were referring to something else please let me know and I can see if it's something that we carry. We do have a variety of gas shocks when it comes to weight capacity so if you need something more or...

  • Need Help Replacing Gas Struts on Camper Powered Awning
    I can help you get your awning back in working order but it's going to involved switching out your entire support arms with the Solera Universal kit which comes in Black # LC434727 or White # LC434728 and measures 69" tall (the rail that is installed to the side of your trailer) or the short arm assembly which comes in Black # LC404523 or White # LC97UD (you'll need 2 of these). As far as the small gas struts go, we do have some replacement gas shocks/struts but the ones we carry are like...
