Bigfoot 25C10.6E door strut size

My door strut won’t strut anymore (haha, won’t hold open the door at all). I need to replace it, but need to know the strut number. Unfortunately, camper is currently buried under four feet of snow. Does anyone happen to know the strut number on theirs, or could you look? I cannot use a metal tie back, because there is a roof ladder in the way.
  • Thanks so much everyone! We just got ANOTHER 8” of snow. This makes ordering parts for eventual replacement much easier.


  • Our 10.4 has one strut at the top of the door. 12.5” pin to pin closed. 20” open. No markings on strut that I could see
  • On my previous BF the strut was on the top of the door, but on this one it is on the bottom so not sure if same length.
    Sticker on mine says "Signature Series Gas Springs" made by "Newport Engineering Associates Inc"..... www.mygassprings.com

    Their website shows a whole bunch of models...mine is: part# SX200P...12" closed/ 20" open.

    Hope this helps
  • Not sure about the length you need for your 10.6 door but I do know the strut pressure is 20 lbs. Bigfoot has cut back about 40 percent due to coronavirus. Grant usually responds quickly. You may have to wait to take the old one off to match the length to new
  • Have emailed Grant about two issues in last two weeks. Nothing, which is unusual. Thinking Covid has them gone.

    Top strut only.
  • Top of door or bottom?...why not email Grant at Bigfoot with year of your camper and ask him.
