Aaiov RV awning gas struts 260282 — 24in 124–140 lb lift for Solera pitched arms, smooth extension, includes 4 washers

Aaiov 260282 gas struts are 24" lift springs designed to replace or upgrade pitched RV awning arms, providing 124–140 lb of stabilized extension and smooth retraction for Solera-compatible power and manual awnings.

If your RV awning has pitched arm assemblies and you want dependable, consistent lift without jerky movement or excessive sagging, these Aaiov gas shocks are engineered specifically for that purpose. They measure 24.35" extended and 14.67" retracted, fitting the common 260282 profile and offering a one-year warranty. Before ordering, confirm that your awning uses a compatible strut model and that mount points and retainers match your setup.

How do these gas struts improve my awning’s operation?

The Aaiov 260282 struts deliver steady force through the full travel range so the awning opens evenly and closes smoothly. Their calibrated 124–140 lb lift capacity supports pitched arms and reduces bounce in windy conditions without overstressing the mechanism.

• Consistent 124–140 lb force for reliable support
• Smooth extension and retraction to protect fabric and frame
• Reduces arm sag and uneven deployment
• Four retaining washers included for secure attachment

Will these fit my Solera power or manual awning?

These struts are compatible with many Solera awnings that use the 260282 profile and pitched arm geometry. Compatibility depends on your awning’s mount style and the strut’s extended/retracted lengths, so verify measurements before replacing them.

• Designed to match Solera-style pitched arm assemblies
• 24.35" extended / 14.67" retracted — check against existing struts
• Works with both power and manual arm mechanisms when mounting points align
• Includes retaining washers for most common attachment styles

What are the dimensions and mechanical specs I should check?

Measure your current strut from center-to-center when fully extended and fully closed to compare with these values. Also confirm the required lift force range; this Aaiov unit provides 124–140 lb to match pitched-arm demands.

• Extended length: 24.35 inches (nominal 24")
• Retracted length: 14.67 inches
• Lifting force: 124 to 140 pounds
• Includes four retaining washers for secure installation

How do I install and maintain these awning gas shocks?

Installation typically requires removing the old strut and swapping in the Aaiov unit using the same mounting brackets and retaining hardware. Regular checks for secure fasteners and corrosion prevention will keep the strut performing well throughout the season.

• Swap in place using existing brackets when compatible
• Use included washers to secure end fittings
• Inspect mounts periodically and lubricate pivot points if needed
• Replace if you notice significant loss of force or fluid leakage

Who is this for: The Aaiov 260282 24" gas struts are aimed at RV owners and technicians who need a durable replacement or upgrade for pitched awning arm setups—especially those using Solera-compatible awnings in either power or manual configurations. Choose these struts if your existing arms show sagging, uneven deployment, or inconsistent tension, and make sure to confirm fit by comparing the extended/retracted lengths and mounting style before purchase.
