Not sure what Connection Issue you are referring to with the SimRad. So far, I haven't had any issues with it. Add a photo. Heading out tomorrow morning, so I will check it out then as well.
We find ourselves in the same boat both figuratively and literally. So far, we have used a door stop and bungee cord to hold the door open when needed. Not sure if a gas strut would work for us, but I will definitely look into it.
