Ok, so our new to us 16.49-4 panda, came preconfigured for a rooftop ac unit.

Question is however, for those who have a rooftop ac unit, what Nm gas struts do you have.

Can you post the Nm rating as I will need to order new struts to suit the additional weight.

I know the existing ones, but I'm about to put a rooftop ac on the van and want to see what NM rating I should now get to help assist the left etc. So I figured someone would have a NM rating of a strut with an ac unit already installed. I am led to belive that these should be upgraded when fitting an ac unit

When I needed upgraded gas struts for a camper trailer I took the old ones in to a gas strut seller and they measured them for me. They added a bit to the new ones and were happy to add more if I needed it. It's easy for them to add gas so I started on the low side

Ditto on @rags post, gastrutguys only mob to go to and the pic idea is the best way, in fact might be easier to fit new ones before the AC.
