ARANA SL13-60 15 inch 60LB Gas Struts for RV Compartment

ARANA SL13-60 15-inch gas struts are a 2-pack of 60 lb (267 N) shocks designed to lift and support RV compartment doors, hatches, and lids with reliable opening and holding power.

These gas struts replace many common interchange numbers and give a precise fit for RV storage doors, camper boxes, boat hatches, and similar panels. Each strut measures 14.96" center-to-center when extended and 9.06" when compressed, providing smooth lift assist and secure hold throughout typical travel vibrations. Sold as a pair, they arrive with factory-rated force to match many OEM setups — just confirm your old part numbers and lengths before ordering.

How do these struts fit my RV compartment door?

The ARANA SL13-60 struts match common OEM interchange numbers, making them a straightforward replacement for many RV and camper doors. Check the center-to-center extended and compressed lengths against your existing parts and compare the interchange codes listed on your old units.

• Extended length (C-C): 14.96" (383 mm)
• Compressed length (C-C): 9.06" (224 mm)
• Force: 60 lb (267 N) per strut
• Interchange codes included to cross-reference with original parts

What can I expect during installation and daily use?

Installation is typical for gas struts: remove the old unit, match the ball-stud positions, and snap the new strut onto the studs. The SL13-60 provides steady lift assistance and resists bounce and vibration, helping keep doors open while you access storage areas.

• Fits standard ball-stud mount points used on RVs and campers
• Snaps on/off for quick replacement without special tools
• Designed to reduce door slam and hold panels open reliably
• Durable finish for outdoor and marine environments

Which applications are appropriate for these 15" 60 lb struts?

These gas shocks are suited for medium-weight doors and lids commonly found on motorhomes, travel trailers, boats, and utility boxes. They work well for luggage doors, storage compartments, hatches, and other panels where 60 lb of force per strut is sufficient to lift and hold the door open.

• RV storage doors and luggage compartments
• Camper shells, box lids, and boat hatches
• Motorhome access panels and service doors
• Any panel matching the listed dimensions and force

How do I be sure these are the correct replacements?

Always verify the part interchange numbers and measure your existing struts before purchasing. The ARANA listing includes a wide set of equivalent codes and gives both extended and compressed center-to-center measurements so you can match fitment precisely.

• Compare interchange numbers printed on your old struts
• Measure center-to-center lengths when extended and compressed
• Confirm 60 lb force meets your panel’s lifting needs
• Buy as a pair — this listing contains two matching struts
