We have a new 2013 Key Largo and one of the items I am seeking info on is how to repostion or what equipment I may need to reposition the off door side basement compartment door. It is designed with short, 17" gas struts, to limit its opening action from the 6 o'clock position to the 12 o'clock position so it does not interfer with the bedroom slide out. I understand that in the past people have closed there bedroom slide and crushed the open basement door but man now it is too low and I have to bend over to get into and work from that side of the compartment. Keep in mind the UDC is excessible only from this door. I see that there is about 8-10 inches of space presently left between the door edge and the bottom of the slide so how can I alter or what can I buy to increase the opening angle of this door. I already tried moving the mounts but one side is mounted inside UDC and between skins of inner and outer walls and I also tried 19" gas struts but they open the door too much. I also tried moving the doorside mounts and inch or so and that creates a whole other issue of the door not staying up/open now. So any other ideas?
