Don,

I have 2 of the heavy duty struts on my bus. I do not have a bike rack or
anything but I can tell you it is a significant difference. The nice thing
for us is that having the two heavt struts allows us to leave the rear hatch
open at whatever amount we want - so if we choose we can have some fresh air
coming in while camping without the hatch being completely open. The one
very minor drawback is that it now takes both hands and a little effort to
close the hatch - but it really isn't that big of a deal.
