This fit my 05 Bigfoot 9.6 camper door with about 3/8 compression left. This is the shock you want. It has a slow open feature and does not slam the door open possibly risking tearing the mounts off. So no worries about people who just open the door and head out. We used to have to coax the door open. Not you can let go of it. Love this shock!!1655789

The Stabilus shock holding the 22" door of our bumper pull trailer open was weak. Mild wind would push it shut. This shock fit right onto the existing ball joints. A small blade screwdriver pried the "c" clip back, allowing me to slip the socket over the ball, and the clip snapped into place. Maybe 30 seconds and the shock was installed.

The biggest challenge was determining what force I needed in the replacement. The existing shock had the model information scraped away where it rubbed on the door threshold. No where could I find on the etrailer site what force a small door shock should be. I ended up chatting with an RV service tech I know, who looked it up in his parts catalog. Turns out 10 lb force is standard except for large RV doors. I would suggest etrailer.com add this information on their online catalog. Maybe it's there and I couldn’t' find it? "Gas shock force needed for RV doors."1655075

Just received and put on today. The gas shocks vey easy to replace. Doors on rv are open and staying open by the shocks. When the other door shock need replacement. I will be buying same product.1642298

Great customer service and prompt delivery.
I haven't installed them yet but look to be the exact replacement part for the current ones in my camper.1349325

After a year these are are working great.

Overall, I was satisfied with the process as well as as quality and condition of the door opener. I was fortunate that the opener fit correctly. There was some dissatisfaction that your web site offered little in the way of cross-reference data for a direct replacement with the existing opener on my trailer. Also, considering that the item was in stock, delivery took longer than I had anticipated.1295319

The opener is working great! The only drawback may be that the force factor may be a little on the strong side. A great product though, and I would recommend it.

These shocks made my RV cabinet door stay up like new again!1656676

It didn't fit the camper door swivel pin properly. Head of hinge too big so door wouldn't shut. Went back to Lakota Horse trailer and ordered the part. I don't believe you had stock that would have worked. Thanks for asking.1571776

We use these on our tool boxes and they work great.1673333

It was just what l needed to hold up bed storage work great1642246

Placed my order on a Monday and received it on Wednesday. Live chat helped me find the correct Gas Shock. It was a perfect match!!1648684

Worked as advertised. Easy installation. Used on an under-bed storage box in my RV.1579407

Didn't work, until I realized the post couplings would screw off the OEM and screw on this new unit. Door wouldn't shut until I changed out this hardware. Now it is perfect! The couplings that come with the unit were too large for my door. All good now, perfect fit. 2020 Thor Citation 24ST.1587383

The selection process was easy to follow. I needed gas struts with a greater lift capacity for our under bed storage due to the addition of a memory foam mattress. I was able to select a strut pair with the proper length and extension from the website. The struts were received quickly and were exactly what I needed. The bed now raises gently and remains elevated.1530536

The product you sent does not comply with the listed specifications; that is, the extended length is 18.5", not 18", and the compressed length is not 11.5"; rather, the length is 12". Bottom line: when installed my door will not close.1596619

I am sorry that this is not working for you. I have gotten in contact with our dimensions team and they have confirmed that the dimensions are supposed to be measuring center on center of the mounting points, the expanded length is 18 inches and the compressed length is 11.5 inches. If you were to measure this not from center to center, the overall length not from center on center was 19 inches and the compressed was 12.5 inches. We are currently working on getting a diagram of the exact measurements on the website for future customer convenience.

Easy installation and works great! 1630439

Wonderful service and QUICK standard sh ipping.1648218

I don't know that the item is excellent. The gas shock has a simple job and I assume that it will do it. (haven't installed it yet) I've been very happy with etrailer in the past, and I assume that will continue. So, the item itself gets 3 stars (average). etrailer gets 5 stars (excellent). :-)1554516

Installed and working better than new. Fast shipping and fantastic communication through the whole delivery process for such a small order. Will definitely be my go to in the future1563697
