Gas struts for hood of Winnebago View 2009

My View is a 2009, built on a Dodge Ram/Sprinter chassis. It is very difficult for me to hold up the really heavy hood long enough to secure it. My son, the mechanic, has suggested we replace the struts with gas struts, but he is not sure which ones to get. Anyone done this, or have suggestions?

Does it have the single support strut on the left side of the engine compartment as you face the front of the van? I have a hard time with mine, too. I kind of have to start lifting it, and circle to the left, to get enough leverage to let it lock into place. It's a pita. I'm around 5' 9".
