Does anyone know what the weight rating is on the struts for the bay doors? I measured length on mine about 21.5" but don't know about weight rating. I think that I can go a little longer on them if I need to, and found some 23" 50lb struts for $10 at:
http://www.rvsurplus.net/catalog/displa ... ct_id=4288" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
Does anyone know if these would work. I got lucky today, I have 2 bay doors that rub together when they are all of the way up. When I opened the middle bay, the rear bay door popped unlatched and slammed shut. I was just in and out of that bay 30 seconds before.
I have someone picking up my tanks and some other things tomorrow and would like to have them pick these up for me if they will work.

Re: Struts for bay doors
Thank you for the link. Normally I would have searched, but it's been a long day and I wanted to ask while someone was still up who might have an answer before morning.
