Hi Chris
The cheapest solution is to replace the struts with stronger struts, if you have a look at one of your struts, you will see a number on the strut with N after the number, eg 300N is equal to 30kg's I replaced my struts last year and went from 30kg's to 40kg's and lifting to roof is now easy as, I purchased mine on Ebay about 1/3 the price from a caravan spares shop.
These struts gradually get weaker as they age.
Cheers

I replaced ours a couple of years back for the same reason, fitted a solar panel.
As ours is a large pop top I went one grade heavier on the back end & two grades heavier on the front which is where the solar panel is, fixed the prob.
As stated there is a ID no. on the struts.

Thanks all for the feedback on lifting of pop top.
Hi
We have a 16ft pop top van with 130 w solar panel on top and its rather hard to lift
Does anyone have any suggestions on making it easier to lift
Thanks in advance
