Replacement Gas Springs (struts) for the poptop roof on 1995 - 2003 EuroVan Camper by Winnebago.
These do not fit the Westfalia roof
.
Heavy duty strut style has 110 pounds lift per spring. Order 2 struts to replace both sides, or order one original and one locking strut. If your springs are 5 years old or order, the original style will make it easier to lift and will solve any sagging. Use the heavy duty style if you need just a bit more lift. Heavy duty springs may help if you have a cargo carrier installed and you want to lift the roof when the carrier is empty. Heavy duty style will make it easier to lift your roof, but they will also take a bit more effort to close it. We do not recommend opening the roof with a loaded roof rack. Replace struts in pairs (order 2)

Work fine
My new ones don’t seem as strong as the last set I installed; that time I had trouble pulling the top down, but this time I don’t—and I’m not getting stronger! Ratchet straps work great for shortening them to the right length to install them.

agree
Agree with all the others reviewers. Strong product that holds the top up, but tricky to install. I tried ropes, bar clamps, neither worked. Ended up as one of the other reviewers, unfastening about half of the canvas to get the room to install. Overall happy with the product and eurocampers.com. Will be ordering more from them.

Mr.
EuroVan Camper poptop gas spring - heavy duty, worked perfectly. Replaced original 2 gas springs on a 1995 Eurovan/Winnebago style camper 2 years ago with original equipment - but on latest camping trip to Maine could not lift top by myself. Tried until my back, head, neck, shoulders and arms all gave out - could not lift that top. The price and shipping was easy to take, the piece arrived very quickly, and NO drilling was required to install. The strut fit in exactly as the originals did. I don't carry anything on top that adds weight, so EuroCampers advised me to try just one strut to make sure I could pull the top down by myself. The strut is longer than the original, so I had a mechanic friend help me with the install. Might suggest this as it's almost impossible to depress the strut manually - even with all your weight on it. Not to mention the top will need some sort of post to keep it up while you remove the old strut. As suggested in the video, he used a special "ratchet belt" to depress/shorten the strut so it would clip in to the original attachments. Anyway, very happy with the results. Took about 15-20 minutes to install, and I can easily lift the top up the first 6 inches - before it virtually lifts itself naturally with the strut extending itself. And with the strut providing support, bringing it down is also very controlled, and feels much safer. Thanks EuroCampers, Stan Solomon

Mr.
2 heavy duty pop top struts - Yes, they are a bit too long, I had watched the video suggesting using a strap around the ends of the struts to make them shorter to fit, but my straps were too weak to do that. So - I attached the one end of strut to underside of top, removed the bracket attaching the other end to the vehicle, made a loop of rope going from the top latch handle, around the end of the lower bracket, which was attached to the strut. The rope had a loop to put the other end through, then mechanical advantage made it possible to pull the length of assembly shorter, then put the big bolts into the bottom bracket, snug all down. Viola!

slightly too long
Ths replacement gas spring is slightly longer than the original one. It seems very strong and provide great support for the heavy roof, but it is very hard to install. I had to unmount hald of the canvas to gain about an extra inch in height for the installation before I could pop the strut in and lower the roof.
