How to correctly install gas struts into a caravan overhead cupboard

[@Angry_Ash]

You learn something new everyday! I wonder how many other caravan manufacturers install them incorrectly

[@sepsadventures]

I thought the same. Cheers!

Well done Sep, some great information, ive already checked mine and was surprised they are all the right way up, which i previously had no idea what way that was. Always good to learn new things, thanks. 👍👍

I didn’t realise either until after watching a warranty video which prompted me to look into it. Cheers!

Another informative and very useful presentation Sep. My caravan is a 2022 model Silver Valley brand. All my cupboard hinges are factory fitted exactly as yours. ie: upside down. As others have commented, how can so many manufacturers get this wrong? I have also checked my 150 series Toyota Prado. I have the upward opening rear window which has two gas struts. Both struts are fitted with the main cylinder body at the top. Looks like Toyota know what they are doing.

I’am also amazed how they can get it wrong. Cheers!
