Serendipity of Mandurah (WA)
I have a camper with a door held up by gas struts. Only problem is they are too weak. They will hold the door up but a slight wind and it drops down to half way and I have already walked into it a couple of times.
My question is - the current struts are 200n - to up size how much more should I go. I found some similar ones but they are 580n - is this too much - like would I nearly break my door when it opens and need two heavy blokes pulling down to shut or is would 580n be alright if only a bit stiff.
And where is the best place to buy struts - like is there a place on eBay or some local
shop - Mandurah or
Perth. The local auto shops have a very limited supply and insisted they needed a car make and model - even after explaining it was on a camper.
