REposting info about gas struts with an update from today:
From April R, 6/27/17:
"I wanted to give you an update on the Gas struts source. I just ordered them from Andy, which was a mistake because he is marking them up over 30% to $95 each, so the better source is definitely LS Technologies, even if you have to pay a bit more in shipping."

"I just wanted to let you know that the gas springs are available from LS Technologies in Saskatoon, SK Canada.

The
originals on my 2007 Prestige were Stabilus Lift-O-Mat 7907RV (1500N
force, 607mm extended length, 245 mm stroke), and the Stabilus dealer in
Calgary wanted $440.50 EACH (not a typo!), with a 17 week waiting
period. I
attached the spec sheet, as an FYI.
LS
Technologies was able to build and supply me the next day with a pair
that had all the same specs for Cdn$140.00 for the pair They will ship
throughout Canada and the US, and are familiar with the Brenderup
trailers, as
they regularly supply customers in the US. (Prices may have changed
since I got them several months ago!)
I
found out when I went to install the springs that the originals were
installed under a slight load (i.e. compressed.) What I ended up doing
was putting the top of the spring on the trailer, and then used the
scissor jack
from my vehicle placed on a board on the ground to lift the bottom end
of the spring until it was level with the ball attachment on the
trailer, and then just tapped the board over so that the spring socket
slipped on to the ball.
