Hydraulic Door/Hatch Lifts Help Please?
Recently bought a "new to me" 2011 Coachmen Mirada. None of the doors located under the slides have any kind of mechanism to hold them up. I realize they do this to keep you from opening or closin...

I have seen pretty good selections at Carquest, NAPA etc. You might try some parts stores.
FWIW, on my Cross Country I moved all of the lift brackets up 2 holes. I unscrewed the brackets and moved the bottom bracket hole to the top screw hole and drilled 2 new holes and remounted the lift bracket. I gave me way better access to my bins, I can actually stand up and get stuff out. I also did the same to the doors under the slide. They rest against the bottom of the slide when it's extended but I have good access when it's retracted.
Like you I am betting I am smart enough to not crush the bin doors. It's been a few years now and so far so good.
