Hi John; the Replacement Gas Strut for Short and Flat Solera RV Awnings # LC280343 are specifically designed for flat awnings like yours. If you want to double check them against the original they are 15" retracted, 26" extended, and exert 124 lbs of force.
Did your old struts wear out?

I purchased these replacement gas struts for my Solera awning a few,years ago. The struts themselves are fine. You need to be careful to measure the length you need carefully as there are two different part numbers available that are quite close to the same length. You can be sure to select the right one if you carefully read the specs and compare that to the struts currently on your RV.
