Hi everyone,
I have a "brains trust" query regarding the roof gas struts on my Jayco Expanda. We have had the van a couple of years (second hand) and I was considering replacing the gas struts on the "pop top" as it seems to be getting harder to lift up. I noticed there are 2 different size struts fitted, the forward facing struts are around 70mm shorter than the rear facing struts. This doesn't seem right to me, and when you stand back and look closely, the canvas appears to be stretched slightly towards the rear of the van. Maybe a previous owner has installed incorrect replacements, or would this be a Jayco standard? The next thing I will need to establish is "which ones are correct" so I can order replacements. What are the thoughts of the members?
Cheers, Graham
