Question:
What is the purpose of the struts? How long do they last as I am starting my 2nd year full time. Do they keep the awning taut when extended or less flopping in the wind? I have searched and havent got any answers. Thank you!

Expert Reply:
The purpose of the Solera Gas Strut # LC260282 is to add strength and support to your awning arms (they support the arms, not the fabric). They have proven to provide long term durability and help to keep your awning extending and retracting smoothly. The Solera Gas Strut # LC260282 works with pitched awning arms while the Solera Gas Strut # LC280343 works with short/flat awnings.
