2800BH Bed Lift Springs

[Steven]

Can you give me the info on the lift struts? Manufacturer and size/force? I added a memory foam topper and they won't quite keep the bed up. I need to go up one size.
And do you recommend any winterizing on the black tank flush line or fresh tank lines?
Thanks,
Steven

Hi @Steven,

Hi Steven,

A timely question . . . I just finished (as in 10 minutes ago!) replacing the pivots that bent with the higher force from the stronger struts.

The strut info is in this other thread.

I just picked up two "gas prop brackets" PN G815 from Camping World (the installed black ones in the picture) to replace the original silver ones that bent. The new studs are shorter and hopefully will not have enough leverage to bend the bracket plates. Will have to see what happens . . . .

Thanks Cate and Rob. Mine are ever so close to holding the bed up so I'm hoping an increase of about 10 lb will do it. Not giving up the topper! Very comfortable.
