Hello Frank, thanks for reaching out. We do carry quite a few different gas struts, so we may have what you need. There is no way to look up your camper to know exactly what you need though. RV manufacturers just are not that specific with their online literature, and there is no VIN database that shows this either.

Basically I will need to know the extended and compressed length of your gas strut. Also need to know what amount of compression force you are needing so the weight of the door this is being used with. Let me know. Replying on this page is the fastest way to get ahold of me.

Sorry I haven't got back to you, but I am having medical problems and my camper is no longer on my mind.

@FrankW Hey Frank, no worries at all! Health should always be the first priority. I hope you start feeling better soon. Feel free to come back anytime or whenever you get around to thinking about your camper. You know where to find me.

@JesseM Jesse, I need the gas struts for the roof of a rockwood a122sesp camper. They are 20 inch but I can't find the pressure rating. Nothing on the strut nor in the manual I have. The ones I took off are holding good pressure but I don't know if they can leak pressure. I do know the roof is harder to get up but then I am not getting any younger.

@FrankW So the 20" long is a fairly common size. We have several options for this ranging from 20 lbs of compression force up to 150 lbs. Its really hard for me to say exactly which one will work. Since it is for the roof I imagine it would be more on the medium to heavy duty side but there is really no way to know for sure. Only the manufacturer of the camper would be able to provide specs for the stock struts. Do you happen to know the compressed length? That could help to narrow it down.
