• Which is Correct Gas Strut for Solera Awning

• Are Taylor Made Boat Gas Struts Multi-Positional
• We do carry boat hatch marine gas shock struts by Taylor Made like part # 3691838 but they are not stop and start or multi positional unfortunately. The shock would have to say stop and start or multi-positional to work the way you are explaining. I have attached a link of the Marine gas struts we have available.

• How To Choose the Correct Replacement Gas Strut for a Storage Compartment
• In order to find the correct replacement gas strut you'll need to know the force in lbs. and length. The length is taken from the center of the top and bottom socket while unloaded. The force should be stamped onto the outer sleeve. This is relative to the weight of the door/hatch. The Taylor Made Marine Gas Strut for Boat Hatches part # 3691835-10 has a 10 lb force and measures 20" long. The closer you are to the listed force, the smoother the strut will operate. I wouldn't have this information...

This comes with everything you need, including the retainer washers. (The washers need to be replaced after you remove the pitch arm and gas strut.) If...

• Recommended RV Entry Door Gas Strut For A Thor Class C Motorhome
• A typical RV entry door gas strut ranges from 10-20lbs in pressure. We carry both a 10lbs # 372-5300-10 and 20lbs # 372-5300-20 that you can use. Really it just comes down to preference and the climate. If you're in a windy climate going heavier will help prevent the door from flying open/closed in the wind.

• Can Automatic On/Off Switch For Compartment Light Work on Cargo Bay Doors
• Sure, I can't see any reason why the Automatic On/Off Switch for RV Compartment Light - Strut Mount - 42" Wire Leads # DG52479VP couldn't work with your cargo bay doors. So long as you have 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, or 12 mm gas strut rods it should work just fine.

• Replacement Strut for Stabilus Lift-O-Mat on Dometic Awning
• The Solera Gas Strut part # LC280343 is designed for Lippert-Solera branded awnings. That said, it should be able to be used with others but you'd need to verify the dimensions in order to ensure compatibility. The length for this strut will be 26.46" when extended and 15.04" when retracted. It puts out 124 lbs of force so as long as this all matches what you have you'll be good to go. I unfortunately cannot cross reference any Stabilus Lift-O-Mat parts.
