ARANA 15" 60 lb Gas Struts for RV Compartment Doors — 2-Pack, Corrosion-Resistant Lift Supports

These are ARANA SL13-60 gas struts — a pair of 15-inch, 60-pound-force lift supports designed to open and hold RV doors, hatches, and lids securely.

Built for campers, motorhomes, boats and utility boxes, this two-piece set replaces worn or weak gas shocks with a reliable, corrosion-resistant option engineered to match common OEM interchange numbers. Each strut provides a mid-length extended and compressed center-to-center measurement and a steady 60 lb (≈267 N) push, making them suitable for many compartment and storage applications. Before buying, confirm the old strut’s interchange code and measure the center-to-center lengths to ensure the correct fit.

How do these gas struts perform on RV compartment doors?

They supply consistent lift and smooth motion to assist in opening and holding compartment doors in place, reducing door slam and user strain. The damped action helps doors stay open at a steady angle for hands-free access while loading and unloading.

• Rated force: 60 lb (≈267 N) per strut for steady lift
• Extended center-to-center: 14.96" (383 mm)
• Compressed center-to-center: 9.06" (224 mm)
• Sold as a two-piece kit — both sides supplied

Which doors and hatches are compatible with these ARANA units?

These struts suit a wide range of RV and marine access panels including luggage doors, storage bays, motorhome side doors, boat hatches, and toolbox lids. They are offered as replacements for many common OEM part numbers, but compatibility depends on matching interchange codes and center-to-center lengths.

• Common uses: RV storage doors, camper shells, boat hatches, box lids
• Works as replacement for many interchange numbers (see product specs)
• Replace both struts on a single door for balanced operation
• Verify ball-stud or mounting style before installation

What installation and fit-check steps should I take?

Measure the old strut from center-to-center when fully extended and compressed, and compare those numbers to the ARANA specifications to confirm fit. Also check mounting ends (ball-stud size or bracket style) and ensure your mounting points accept the supplied attachment style.

• Measure with door fully open and fully closed for accurate lengths
• Confirm interchange number printed on old strut before purchase
• Inspect mounting hardware — replace worn ball-studs if needed
• Install both struts at the same time for even lifting power

What service life and support does ARANA provide?

The struts are designed as durable mechanical replacements and come with customer support from ARANA to help with sizing and installation questions. A one-year warranty covers manufacturing defects, and prompt assistance is available through ARANA for any post-purchase concerns.

• Manufacturer warranty: 365 days for defects and support
• Customer assistance available for sizing and installs
• Durable construction meant for frequent opening cycles
• Sold as a two-pack — replace both sides for best result

Who is this for: RV and boat owners, mobile service vans, and anyone maintaining camper or utility lids who needs a dependable replacement lift kit. If you operate an RV, trailer, or boat hatch that has weakened or failed gas shocks and the original part numbers or center-to-center lengths match, this ARANA 15" 60 lb pair is a practical swap. Always double-check interchange codes and measure the strut lengths before ordering to make sure these units match your application.
