McMaster-Carr (www.mcmaster.com) has the gas struts available, or Jim Bounds has a kit he put together with the ball ends and allthe necessary parts.
I believe the ones I used were McMaster-Carr part number 9416K19 (10.35" compressed length, 18.22" extended length, 8.27" stroke length). I purchased the 30 lb. ones, but I think that the 15lb. ones would work fine and put less strain on the hinges and plastic door.
If you check your old ones, I imagine there probably is a part number on them somewhere. Check the length of yours when they are extended and compressed before ordering, but McMaster has a large selection in all sizes.

I bought a set of these from rv-trader@clearwire.net
on eBay back in January. They came complete with the
mounting hardware. I don't remember the cost right
now. I haven't put them on yet.
Mine bear a label with the following markings:
Columbia Struts
CS - GMC RV Cargo
CS9185301
www.Strut-Your-Stuff-Here.com
Somebody here on the list posted the following info:

I posted a note stating that buying all in one place
would probably save me gas, money, and time from running
all over town trying to find the individual parts.
