Has anyone tried the 9416K15 or 4175T5 from McMaster? This seems to be the most comparable to the original struts supplied by Vans.

You do know that they can easily be re-filled / re-pressurised. We have a local fire extinguisher company where they simply put one in a bottle & pressurise the bottle overnight. Pick up your re-vitalized strut the next day. Cheap, quick & easy. Or else V expensive, slow & V enjoyable if you bring them to New Zealand!

My RV-10 ones haven't need to be done, but we have had car struts done.

So, after all the e-mails about replacement door struts, has anyone found one that replaces Van’s heavy duty one? Where do you buy, what is the part #, and what is the price? Lots of possibilities were listed but no definite conclusions from someone who has actually done it and it worked as advertised.

I bought the ones made in Europe. When I open up they go up and stay up just fine. That's how I like them to work. Ordered from stateside. Don't remember who. But mc masters sounds right. It's windy here in kcrp but the doors are not effected. Fwiw

In June I got a quote for a 600N gas strut from Bansbach/EasyLift, for $45 each, the quote was for 4 struts. It has practically the same dimensions as the Stabilus struts that come with the kit, and has increased end damping.

Attached an image of each with dimensions.

I never ended up ordering them though, so can't tell if they will work or not. It's made in Germany also, and lead time is 8 weeks.
