At Malvern this weekend we had a bed gas strut fail. We had to travel home with the bed wedged up with bits of wood. We added a mattress topper when we bought the van and the added weight was obviously too much for the original Hymer gas struts.
Stuart (Silkcut1105) told me about SGS Engineering Solutions who specialise in gas struts. The pleasant chap on the phone knew precisely what struts I needed. I told him about the matress topper and he calculated the extra weight and said they would uprate the gas strut from 1700N to 1850N which will easily account for the extra weight. The best bit is that they only cost £75 a pair and I'll have them tomorrow:thumb:
