Nick had originally considered replacing the Spacevan struts himself and removed both to start that process. However when he called the local Cub dealership he was given contact details for a gas strut fitter - and organised that fellow to visit.Once the struts were off, we couldn't pack up the camper so decided to tackle another mission while waiting for the strut inspection. All three tyres were about 15 years old. We took them to a nearby tyre place, which we've used on a number of occasions since relocating to QLD. It was a simple, straight-forward transaction to fit new tyres. $285.00 and done.
The strut man arrived a day early. He checked the old struts and stated they were "not too bad". They were a bit uneven and that caused the twisting of the camper as it was closing. One side would close but the other side was still open. After fitting new struts the camper closes evenly. Well worth $176.00! (Nick's next job is to straighten the twist with some reinforcing plates).
