Entrance door gas strut

The same as you have :LOL:

There should be either a sticker or info etched into the housing. Use that info for a direct replacement.
 
My door strut just went and I'm trying to source one in Canada. Looks like the multi use ones have a larger cylinder and would rub up against the bottom of the outside door. They run around $35 CDN. Amazon.ca has the OEM listed at $95! It'll be around $125 CDN once it lands on my front steps. Everything is so specialized and darn expensive for these rigs. Nothing like a $100k motorhome with a bungie cord holding the door open. Sheesh.

You are right. The correct part on Amazon.ca is ridiculous. Maybe plan a trip south of the border?

I can attest to the nice quality of the linked struts.
The pictured struts were for my axis hood.

I found a set of 2 on Amazon.com which says it's interchange part # is LGP6-D-200QQ-15.
OEM part # is LGP6-200-20QQ-15.
Same except for the "D."
I'm still suspecting that the cylinder diameter will be too big to fit between the bottom of the door and door frame. No where do they give you that dimension with struts. The original one has the paint worn off from the door lightly scraping. Any bigger it will jam or won't close. Shipped to Canada with import fees $45. Good price with a spare but will it fit? I'm thinkin' about it.
 
'No where do they give you that dimension with struts.'

Then why do you think it won't fit?
And
Raising either mount on either end is a one or two minute proposition.

The
D
Is the distance from full open to the center of the eye.
In this case it's 200mm on both struts.

Some makers use a
D
as legacy nomenclature and some figure that you'll figure out the 200 part of the designation.

The Q is often the end fitting type.

And
That's a 15lb strut.

This is the best pic I could take. The bottom of the door already scraps against the strut cylinder. I can't see how a bigger one can work or even any mods to make it to

.
 
I sent LaVanture the original supplier of the strut an email to confirm fitment. I always seem to ask a question on a Friday.
 
Wowie wow wow! I already got a reply from them. They state they are identical in size and the only difference is the oil inside. He also said it would work much better. What does that say about the original?
