On our new Elddis Chatsworth 550 (for which read Avante apparently), we have had to make a warranty claim from Glossop Caravans for replacement gas struts on the double island bed, as the bed will not stay raised on its own. If you remove all the bedding, duvet, pillows etc., and with the frame pushed right in at the front, it can just about hold its own weight when raised, but only just. So I have ordered a pair of replacement struts, of which only one has been delivered, another one on the way (for some reason they thought only one was fitted!). My question is, do other Elddis Avante owners have the same problem? Only the struts are rather spindly and do not seem fit for purpose, and after struggling to fit the replacements, I don't want to find it's exactly the same as before. Obviously this may be a minor issue for some, but due to a rather poor amount of storage space on this new caravan we use the under-bed storage rather a lot. And are there alternative struts that would do the job better?
