Struts that hold engine compartment door open ??

Got mine at Camping World. The highest prices were at Auto parts stores.

I bought 18 of theses from RV Upgrades. They had the best price I could find, about $10 each.

Amazon

Here's the info off the tag on the strut. AVM highway 76 East Marion SC 29571 1-800232-4AVM SE350V120AL 2963
Do Not open....High Pressure.
I called that number but got a recording offering a free Caribbean Cruise, no mention of sturts.
The last numbers are 120 I'm sure if they were rated at a 120lbs it would keep the door up, so I have my doubts if that's a rating. This is on a 2004 Fleetwood Revolution 38B.

Just did some searching and found the company, will give them a call tomorrow, thanks.

I bought mine from Advance auto parts. Same length, similar pressure, worked like a charm

Look at the part number on the strut usually the last numbers after the dash is the lb rating of the strut. -60 = 60lbs, -100 = 100lbs

That's right.. there should be part# on strut (very small) remove strut small clip on both ends any auto parts store will have these

The struts are to weak to keep the door up. Where can I find replacement ones. Also, is their a chart that show's the pounds or force that a strut will exert?
What are these struts called? (they're black)

Just wondering,
What make/model/year/chassis etc? The reason I ask is, there may be other folks on here with the same coach and, have replaced their gas springs and have a good source. Also, typically stamped or printed on each of your gas springs is nomenclature that describes:

Make/model/serial and part numbers of each strut and, in many cases, the poundage it will support, i.e. 20,70,100, 120 and so on.
