The last basement door, driver side rear, didn't have a strut on it when I purchase the motorhome. After fixing a ton of other things, I'm finally getting around to putting one on there. The mounts are there just no strut. Unlike the other doors this particular door has only one gas strut mount on one side. The rest of my basement doors have two struts each. What size is the strut is on your Windsor? Because this is the only door that has a single strut, I'm concerned about the pressure needed to hold the door up. I tried putting a strut on there from one of the other doors to see if it was adequate to hold the weight. They are not. Any help would be appreciated.

If the door same size one with 2 cyl. And mounting location is the same. Pretty sure you would double the weight. It will feel stiffer than old ones . They loose 1 to 2 % per year. There are cylinders with a bleeder screws if people picked too high on projects.
