Gas Struts (squashed grandkids)

Post by peteabbott »

I have a full length hinged down the length pop up. Appologies for my ignorance but I dont know the make. This is fitted with 3 gas struts, two at the front and one at the back ! After two seasons camping I am fed up with heaving the top up and using a prop with the fear of it dropping on the precious grandkids. Advert over.........can someone point me in the right direction to renew said gas struts please. The one that does work is really powerfull. Thankyou.
