Hi,
I am looking to buy a gas strut for my Daxara 127 trailer, which is fitted with an Erde hardtop. I bought the trailer second hand, and the strut was missing. Ebay have replacements for about £50 which may mean that I continue to use a broom handle to prop it open!
If somebody who has one fitted to their trailer could give me a clue to the length of the strut and any more details about its specification (load, part number etc.), I would be really grateful.
I am hoping to be able to find a similar part for much less.
Thanks

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

Hello rikslik - I cannot see any part number on the strut we have but can make out that it has STABILUS, LIFT-O-MAT and also Made In Germany

The barrel of the strut is about 30cms (12") long.

The ERDE website has a lot of info knowledge base on care and instructions etc, maybe find a part number there.

Good Luck

Try sgs-engineering.com/gas-struts.   They are a lot cheaper and can also regard your strut cheaply. Their website tells you how to measure a strut. Great service when I replaced the bed struts on our caravan about £16 each
