  • Replacement Gas Strut for 654150 0550N 091/16
  • I have a solution for you but we do not carry an exact replacement for the 654150 0550N 091/16 strut . The strut we carry that is almost the same is the Solera Gas Strut for Short and Flat Awning Arms item # LC280343 that you were looking at. The Solera Gas Strut strut is 26.46" when extended and 15.04" when retracted. It exerts 124 lbs of force and has the same pair of metal ends. You will just need to ensure yours is the same length when it is retracted.

  • Can Roadmaster Tow Defender Gas Strut Be Used for Older Blue Ox KarGard II

  • Replacement Gas Strut For Old Yakima Rocketbox Cargo Carrier
  • I may have a solution for you, but the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes # 8880683 will not work to replace the gas strut on your old Yakima Rocketbox. However, even though they don't carry them as a replacement part any longer, my contact at Yakima was able to tell me that it's just a standard gas strut like you'd find on a truck cab topper window and came with a 35-lb force rating similar to the Taylor Made Marine Gas Strut for Boat Hatches - 10 mm Socket - 30 lb Force -...

  • Which Solera Awning Replacement Gas Strut Do I Need
  • I'm not seeing any actual Solera Awnings that are 5'9", which would be quite small for an awning that uses a gas strut. With that said, I can tell you exactly what you need to measure to determine which gas strut replacement you'll want to use. The # LC260282 measures 24.38" when extended and 14.70" when retracted, so if you measure your strut and get those dimensions you can use that strut.. The other options is the # LC280343 which measures 26.46" when extended and 15.04" when retracted. If...

  • Replacement Gas Strut for 2015 Heartland ElkRidge 5th Wheel
  • Since nothing corresponds with those part numbers, I recommend measuring your existing struts to find a replacement. For example, the Gas Shock # 372-5300-60 measures 20" extended and 11.41" compressed. If you have similar measurements you could use this as a replacement. If you need a 10 mm ball socket for the struts you can use the # 372BR-1020 or # 372BR-12553 for installation. I have attached a link to all of our gas struts which can be filtered by extended length for your reference.

  • Need Help Replacing Gas Struts on Camper Powered Awning
  • I can help you get your awning back in working order but it's going to involved switching out your entire support arms with the Solera Universal kit which comes in Black # LC434727 or White # LC434728 and measures 69" tall (the rail that is installed to the side of your trailer) or the short arm assembly which comes in Black # LC404523 or White # LC97UD (you'll need 2 of these). As far as the small gas struts go, we do have some replacement gas shocks/struts but the ones we carry are like...

  • Recommended Replacement Gas Strut For An SE160p-90 Gas Strut
  • From what I could find on the SE160p-90 it's a 16" gas strut with a 90lb pressure rating. Since we don't carry the 90lb in a 16" length the safest option would be to go lower to the 15" # 372-2125-90. You won't be able to get the door open as far but you also won't have to worry about the door pressing too far out and contacting something else. If you have the extra clearance space then you can go with the # 372-2200-90, but I do recommend measuring first to ensure fitment.
