Gas springs for compartments

[Wmfulton]

Need to replace some compartment gas springs. Mine say Gs- 5150-90winn. Where to purchase? Does 90 indicate the pounds of force? Would 60 or 70 also work?

I have replaced several of them on my coach I just bought them from lichun RV in forest city

Wm,
If you find that it means or, states 90 lb. springs, then buy 90 lb, springs. Trying to cheapen out on this kind of thing, could and quite possibly will result in an injury. Maybe even a bump on the noggin due to the fact that if you were to purchase lighter duty gas struts, they cannot do the job that a specifically higher one was listed to do. It's your choice of course but, I've replaced a few of mine and, if you've ever tried to lift those doors without both struts working at top rated pressure, THEY'RE HEAVY!

I would check amazon.com for the exact replacement part.

I googled mine "spd" and found the manufature had a web site and very high prices . I then looked on Amazon and found the same brand name exact struts for very much less. An easy replacement.
I just searched your numbers on Amazon and found the struts right away

I needed four of the same springs, which I found on EBay. Aside from getting the proper weight rating ((90#), you also want springs with a 15" fully extended length and a retracted length of 9.25".

Bought ours from amazon as well

If you still are uncertain about the replacements, just go to your parts fische 2004 Catalog Menu (pick your year and model) and under the "Exterior Body Group" and "Structural Components" it will list each bay panel and the struts. Each tells the retracted length, extended length, and lbs which you can then use to shop around.

At least, this is where my 2004 info is found.

Keep in mind, depending which compartment, you may need the 2-stop type that hold the door horizontal and fully open if there is a slideout over it. The ones I recently replaced were "Stabilis Interstop" because of this need.

Found mine on e/bay. Cheaper than Amazon.

You can also find them at Camping World --- bought a replacement this past weekend --- cost was $16.95. They have several lengths and rated pounds of lift. If you have 90 pound springs on the door now, stay with 90 pounds -- a lighter one will not hold up the door.

I am sure you live near a auto parts store. Take it in and they can match it up for you. May not be in stock but they all have next day delivery now.

I just installed two of the three I bought the other day (one spare) and I have to say they work perfectly and fit perfectly. Thank you so much. For $14.90, I got a great gas spring! Thank you again!

Below is a picture of the replacement gas spring installed. In the picture you can see the part number which a replacement for spd-gs-5150-90winn. Note: They can't cross reference it, but if you need a 90lb gas spring for your Winnebago and spd-gs-5150-90winn spring, this will do the trick perfectly.
