<h3>About AP Products</h3><p><strong>AP Products</strong> has been a cornerstone of the recreational vehicle industry for over three decades. Founded in 1994 by Tom Manning Sr. — with roots going back to 1992 — the company began with a straightforward goal: offering a complementary line of packaged screws to support an existing supplier relationship. What started as a niche hardware offering has since grown into one of the most comprehensive RV replacement parts portfolios in North America.</p><p>Headquartered in Coldwater, Michigan, AP Products serves both the OEM and aftermarket segments of the RV world. Their catalog spans everything from adhesives and sealants to electrical components, braking systems, doors, locks, seals, and slide-out parts — making them a true one-stop source for RV dealers and enthusiasts alike. The company operates a group of 13 brands, focused on bringing high-quality, often American-made products to market and filling gaps that other suppliers have overlooked.</p><h3>A Broad Product Range Built Around RV Life</h3><p>One of AP Products' most recognized product segments is <a href="/2843-ap-body-trim-molding-46915">body trim molding</a>. Whether you&apos;re restoring a sun-faded travel trailer or refreshing a Class A motorhome, AP Products offers aluminum insert trim molding in a range of finishes — including Polar White, Colonial White, Black, and Mill Finish — designed to fit securely and deliver a clean, factory-like appearance. These trim solutions are made in the USA and backed by a limited warranty.</p><p>Lighting is another area where AP Products shines. Through their StarLights sub-brand and their broader electrical lineup, AP Products offers a wide array of <a href="/2843-ap-driving-light-bulb-16367">driving light bulbs</a> and RV-specific lighting solutions. From LED replacement bulbs engineered to fit standard RV fixtures to specialized omnidirectional tower bulbs, their lighting products are designed to deliver reliable performance and energy efficiency for life on the road.</p><p>Beyond trim and lighting, AP Products&apos; electrical category is expansive — covering adapters, circuit breakers, converters, power centers, energy management systems, awning accessories, and more. Their hardware line covers both exterior and interior needs, from compartment hardware and screw covers to cabinet hardware sized to fit travel trailers, fifth wheels, Class A and Class C motorhomes, and toy haulers.</p><h3>Trusted by RV Dealers and Owners Nationwide</h3><p>AP Products has built its reputation not just on product breadth, but on a genuine commitment to supporting the dealer network. The company has managed dozens of national retail and OEM accounts, and their parts are stocked widely to ensure availability when and where RV owners need them most. Quality is monitored continuously throughout production, reflecting a brand philosophy centered on reliability over the long haul.</p><p>Whether you&apos;re a seasoned full-timer, a weekend camper, or an RV service technician, AP Products delivers the parts and confidence to keep any rig road-ready.</p>

Product Details

The AP Products 010161 is a heavy-duty gas spring designed for RV and automotive applications requiring controlled lifting and lowering assistance. This 26-inch gas spring provides 87 pounds of force, making it ideal for supporting compartment doors, hatches, storage lids, and other access panels commonly found in recreational vehicles, campers, and utility vehicles.

Key Specifications:

  • Extended length: 26 inches
  • Force rating: 87 pounds
  • Compressed gas design for smooth, controlled motion
  • Durable steel construction with protective coating
  • Standard ball socket end fittings for easy installation

Gas springs like this model provide reliable support over thousands of cycles, reducing strain when opening heavy doors or lids while preventing sudden closing that could cause injury or damage. The 87-pound force rating is specifically engineered to balance lifting assistance with controlled descent for medium to heavy-weight applications.

AP Products is a trusted manufacturer of RV hardware and components, known for producing quality replacement parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications.

So far so good

Ordered a Kirkey seat from them. They had the lowest price I could find and shipped that day. Ordered on Friday and received on Tuesday. It was well packed and perfect. I'd certainly do business with them again.<br>

I finally had time to install my part. The steering wheel hub was exactly what I needed at a great price and delivered promptly. Thanks for the great service.

great parts selection and FREE SHIPPING !! Thanks

Great price and good company to buy from!

The items that I was looking for were easy to find.

great site as long as my part gets to me thank you

Great product. Great service. Delivered on time as usual!

easy website to use

I liked the website and it's layout. Very easy to find merchandise. When I called i liked the fact that I was put through to a person right away.

The Westin T-Max winch cover seems to be of good quality and it fit my off brand winch. It would be nice if it came with the bindings though. Good product.

Got a great price on an hks exhaust and the shipping was quick too

Autoplicity was a pleasure to deal with. Website is easy to navigate and checkout was a breeze.
