Hymer bed gas strut on Ryanair (1 Viewer)

[Dave and Ginny]

I need to replace my gas struts as one has failed. We're in Benidorm for a few months yet but nipping home for ten days next week. We will be near SGS Engineering in Derby for a day or two so could pick up a couple of struts. Question; will it be ok to put them in checked in bagage for the aircraft hold? SGS say they contain an inert gas and should not be a problem but I'm not sure. Haven't looked into sourcing down here as yet but I'm guessing they will be more expensive if sourced from Hymer dealer.

Watch our or they will charge you extra !

Would SGS be able to provide a certificate of conformity?

Just stick em in your bag, they'll be fine.
If you ordered them from Hymer in Germany for delivery to Spain they would go in the cargo hold!

Could have a problem if the bag is scanned as it might look like a firearm!!! Might be better to 'declare' it!

Whichever but it'll be fine on a plane

If you haven't already had a look, see sections 8.3 and 8.4 for the terms and conditions for items going in the hold on Ryanair

I should have thought you'd be OK, but at the end of the day it's your call.

Just phone the airline, if there's any doubt just airfreight them!

Most ferreterias around here have displays of gas struts. Also find them in tractor dealers as well. huge range normally & they aren't expensive.You only need it same stroke/operating length, Nm & end fittings.

Thanks for all the comments but looks like I can get them down here ok. Average price seems about 48 euro each. Caravan shop in Benidorm should be able to get them for me.

My Thoughts too?. In Fact I have in the past had "stuff" freighted out to Spain, only to find it Cheaper Locally. I would check local suppliers before thinking of Air Freight cost!
