Awning strut

[Ranchhand]

I think I need to replace my struts on my dometic power awning. I am not having any success googling the numbers on the struts. Wondering if anyone here had any insight on where to find them. They measure 28 3/4 inches when extended and 18 inches when retracted. I measured center it eye to center of eye. Here is a picture of the numbers on the strut. Can’t get the whole thing in the picture but it is a stalibus lift o mat

Sorry not a very good pic

Whats wrong with your awning? is it hanging up as it extends? there is a kit from dometic that cures that.

Yes it is hanging up when extending. One side goes out faster then the other. If you stop part way out and wait a few seconds the other side will spring out an catch up and then is ok the rest of the way out.

I have installed that kit numerous times and had complete success.

Chuckster I by no means doubt what you are telling me because from what I gather from being on this forum for the last year or so is you work on rvs for a living. I am pretty sure you know more then I do but how is a awning arm bumper kit going to keep one arm from hanging up.

When you install it, you'll see that it gets compressed when the awing is retracted. It acts like a "spring" and pushes on the arm as you extend. It should come with instructions on the location of the install.

Ok thanks. That makes sense

if you need this one part call dometic and talk to them about your issue.
