Komet Trailer gas struts

US$125 each. Expensive, but you will be really annoyed if a strut fails as
you are pulling the glider out of the trailer.

Entec (H. Ennulat)quoted $130 + shipping.


OK, I got mine 2 years ago so that makes sense.

Would you mind posting how much they cost?

McMaster-Carr (source of everthing you ever need at a decent price) is over
$100 but no guarantee on exact fit!

Much less than the price of, say, a new canopy!

That's actually pretty reasonable if the service life approaches that
of the originals! Thanks!

Before buying mine from H. Ennulat, I looked at the McMaster-Carr
inventory and I could not find anything that would fit. This may have
changed since this was about 2 years ago.

I bought 2 generic gas struts for my Ben Greene trailer for $9.95.
Not a typo (less than 10 dollars). I bought them from an RV store.
Rv's use them for many reasons, one for instance is the bed inside
that folds up to store stuff underneath it. They fit great. Now when
I raise the trailer, I can do it with one hand and I don't even have
to push hard. Perfect fit, looks nice too.

Ben Greene must have had spinal discs made of stainless steel. I take
it he was a Haas. Before that, the trailer was very heavy to open.
Took both hands and ice on my lower back afterwards.
