My caravan is a Lunar Conquest SB 2015. Purchased it July 2020. Not used it much due to Covid but on one occasion when on site my wife opened the gas locker and the force of the strut was sufficient to knock her over as it lifted the locker door. I have now realised that the force from this strut is sufficient to deform the front edge of the locker opening. I have not been able to find a dealer that can tell me if the strut is a manufacturer original. The strut has an operating force of 290 Newtons which accounts for the explosive nature of the lift and I'm guessing the batch code suggests it was made after the caravan was first sold which means it could be a non-original item.
I know this caravan is based on the Quasar range so could some kind person who has one of these caravans with an original gas strut please tell me what the serial number is for the strut.
SGS Engineering Ltd has been helpful but each time I telephone the sales person I have been emailing is not available and the person on the sales desk can't help.
