These ARANA RV awning gas struts are a 2-pack replacement set with 24.3" (617 mm) center-to-center length and 136 lb (605 N) force per strut for secure awning support.

If your RV or camper awning needs firm, reliable assistance when opening and holding position, the ARANA 260282 awning gas struts provide a direct-fit replacement for many common OEM numbers. Built and supplied as a pair, these gas springs are engineered to restore smooth deployment and steady support to domestic trailer awnings, Carefree-style systems, snow trailers and similar applications. Before ordering, it's important to confirm the interchange number and measure the center-to-center length of your existing struts to ensure compatibility.

How do these gas struts fit my existing awning?

If the center-to-center measurement of 24.3" (617 mm) and the ball-stud or bracket attachment style match your application, the struts should mount without modification.
