Question:

Need two gas struts with eye end attachments each end. Center to center of each eye is19 3/4 inches extended. This is for my awning on a 2011 FunFinded 214 the awning is electric operated and may be a Dometic 9100, but not sure of model number. Can you help?

Expert Reply:

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 the part # 372-5300-20 and install on a 10 mm ball socket so none of them will work for your application. If you're just wanting to replace these then I recommend reaching out to Dometic.
