I started with 35 lb struts (the strongest OVRLND had at the time I bought the camper), then I switched to 45 lb struts when I added solar and a couple of Maxtrax to the roof. I recently put 65lb struts on the back when I added two more Maxtrax. I kept 45 lb struts on the front. It works perfectly for me.

This is good information. Thanks so much!

Linear actuators are an alternative to gas struts for some jobs.
All sorts of lengths, powers and speeds available. Put the switch wherever you want or even make them remote controlled.

I have gas struts on our pop-top.
They are 700Nm (157Lbs Force), whch is more than they need to be. They are also longer than they need to be. The actual mechanical advantage can be adjusted by adjusting the angle. There are multiple attachment points at the bottom end of each gas strut to allow for this.
The pop-top is easily put up or brought down from inside. The longer-than-necessary struts keep the fabric tight when it is up.
If I add some weight to the top, I simply move the lower attachment point to compensate.
