When replacing gas shock on your vehicle or RV, you will want to make sure you are buying a replacement with the exact same extended length, compressed length, and pounds of force. This information is usually printed on the shock. Lengths are measured from the center of the ball joint used for mounting. If you are planning on installing gas shocks on something for the first time, identifying the shock you need requires fairly complex initial calculations, so be sure to do your research to avoid purchasing a shock that will not fit your application.

Video Transcript for Review of JR Products RV Doors - 372-5300-30

Today, we're going to take a look at the JR Products 20-inch long gas shock. Now, this gas shock is designed to replace a worn or damaged shock on your RV entry door or storage doors. The extended length on this, which is measured from the center of this ball socket to the center of this one, is 20 inches. And I'll just show you, we'll put a tape measure on that, center to center, and there's your 20-inch measurement. The compressed length, if this was compressed all the way, would be 11.41 inches. The output force on this shock is 30 pounds and the connection type is a retaining clip on a 10-millimeter ball socket.I just want to zoom in to show you how that would install, but on this connection, if you'll notice, here's your 10-millimeter ball socket, and on top of it is the retaining clip.

So, what you would do is take a flat tip screwdriver and slide it up under that retaining clip, pry it open to release it, and then that'll snap right onto your 10-millimeter ball. Once it's on the ball, you just push that clip back down and it'll secure it in place. So, very simple installation.Also, the finish on this shock is a nice black nitride finish, but that should do it for the review on the JR Products 20-inch long gas shock..

The head that attached to the bottom door jamb was way to huge couldn't close the door I was able to switch the one from the old strut the thread size not the same I had to force it on most likely will pull off I ordered the 30 pound for my fifth wheel door if people ask the 20 pound model is the correct size but I chose the 30 pound my mistake



by:

Quality built. Works as intended and very fast shipping time!



by:

It opened up the door!



by:

Didn't work, until I realized the post couplings would screw off the OEM and screw on this new unit. Door wouldn't shut until I changed out this hardware. Now it is perfect! The couplings that come with the unit were too large for my door. All good now, perfect fit. 2020 Thor Citation 24ST.



by:

Great fast delivery and your description and how to videos are the best for the DIY people. The 30 lb gas shock was for a replacement on my RV entry door. It had a 20 lb force shock but when the door was open and if the wind was blowing hard it would blow the door half way shut and then the door would slam back open which then would pull hard on the mount bracket and eventually it would pull the rivets out that was holding it on.



by:

You had exactly what I needed for a 78 ft. Hatteras Yacht that is being sold this week! I ordered parts late Friday & they arrived as promised & got them installed today! You people ROCK!



by:

Still going strong



by:

Shipped and arrived quickly, worked perfectly for my camp trailer galley door. Instructions for installation were really sparse, perhaps due to multiple applications of this product. Wished they came pre packaged with mounts instead of purchasing separately.



by:

Exactly what I expected. Fast delivery

The selection process was easy to follow. I needed gas struts with a greater lift capacity for our under bed storage due to the addition of a memory foam mattress. I was able to select a strut pair with the proper length and extension from the website. The struts were received quickly and were exactly what I needed. The bed now raises gently and remains elevated.



by:

When my package arrived it was beat up and one of the clips on the end of the shock was missing,not what I would give a good report !!



by:

Item was exactly as advertised, easy installation, fits perfectly on our RV door. Our previous gas shock was worn out & would not hold the door open. This product is sturdy & stable. It fixed the issue.



by:

This strut did not fit precisely due to the thickness of the end connectors. They are thicker than the original strut and since the strut has to fit between the bottom of the door and the threshold in the closed position it would not allow the door to close. I found that by exchanging the end connectors with the original strut I was able to install the strut and close the door. The only problem with this solution is that the new strut with the old connectors is slightly longer than the old strut/connector assembly and now allows the door to open slightly farther than before. Our awning arm just barely clears the door when opening and closing so will have to be very careful from now on when extending and retracting the awning. Our motorhome is a Sunseeker 3010ds model in case this is helpful to others ordering this product.



by:

Product is installed but instructions were a bit vague and difficult to implement(related to the removal of previous gas shock bar).



by:

Exactly what I needed for my Kwik Kamp motorcycle trailer! It's nice to share information in our group when we find parts to use for our discontinued campers.

  • Are There Mounting Brackets Available For RV Gas Struts
    Yes, we carry a few different styles of mounting brackets for gas struts like part # 372-5300-30 so that you can mount to a variety of applications: # 372BR-1015 # 372BR-1020 # 372BR-12552 # 372BR-1060 # 372BR-12553 You'll just need to see what you currently have to find a match. If what I have listed above doesn't match what you have then send me some pictures of the current brackets and I can see if I can find a match for you.

  • How is the Weight Rating for the JR Products Gas Shocks # 372-5300-30 Rated
    Each of these gas shocks are rated for use individually and not in pairs so the part # 372-5300-30 with it's 30 lbs rating would be how much it could lift by itself. So a pair of these would cover your 60 lb trunk lid. Now with that said your easiest replacement solution would probably be to find a car parts shop that can order you in the exact shock you'd need.
