Review on πŸ”§ Lippert Components 260282 Gas Strut for Pitched Awning Arms - 24 inches, Black by Arun Berry

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Worked for a while, but then.

In March 2017 we bought our new 5th Whl which came with an adjustable solera cap. Oily liquid began to leak from one of the two poles within the first month, but this continued to hold the field and tent for several months. It finally failed in June, unable to support the weight of the canopy on one side. I ordered this rack through Revain to replace a broken one. It fitted and worked perfectly for 9 months but now (March 2018) this has started leaking and is keeping the field minimal. I expect a total failure soon. The original frame was a Lippert and I replaced it with a Lippert of the same size and model. Well I just ordered another of these racks to replace a recently installed broken one. Let's hope that the third time will fail charm.

Pros
