The AB Tools 350N Gas Struts are designed for caravan owners and DIY enthusiasts looking to restore or upgrade the lifting mechanisms on their motorhome gas lockers and fixed bed frames. These heavy-duty struts provide a reliable 350 Newton lifting force to hold open panels securely, though it is critical to verify the weight requirement of your specific lid or frame before installation to ensure the force matches your application.

They are suitable for most standard caravan beds, but you must check that your original struts are rated for 350N to ensure the lift is appropriate.
It is highly recommended to replace them in pairs to ensure even force distribution and prevent hinge damage.
No, this package includes the struts only. You will need to use your existing ball stud mounting points.
Check the label on your existing gas strut, which typically indicates the Newton (N) rating.
Yes, they are manufactured with corrosion-resistant materials, making them suitable for external gas lockers.
With proper installation and minimal exposure to abrasive materials, they are designed for long-term durability in typical leisure vehicle environments.
Verify that the total weight of the lid is not exceeding the combined 700N force of the two struts, or check if the ball stud connection is fully seated.
Ensure the strut is aligned straight. If it is mounted at an angle, it may bind; check that the ball joints are moving freely.
Ensure both struts are functional and that the weight of the lid has not been modified (e.g., adding heavy bedding) since the original design.
Installation should be performed while the lid or frame is in the fully open position to allow for easier attachment. Ensure the existing mounting ball studs are clean and free of debris before snapping the struts into place. If your original struts used different mounting hardware, you may need to source compatible 10mm ball studs separately. To maintain performance, wipe the telescopic piston with a dry cloth periodically to remove dust or grit. Do not apply oil or grease to the piston rod, as this can attract dirt and damage the internal seals.
