Helpful Expert Reply:

Yes, we offer something like the Gas Shock - 30 lb Force - 20" Extended, 11.41" Compressed - Black Nitride, part # 372-5300-30. This replaces the gas strut on your RV entry door and it attaches to a 10mm ball socket. You will have to know what length you need, connection type, etc.

I have included a product description link and a video demo link below.
