i would recommend calling a garage door repair guy. the springs at home depot are for a flip up door and not a roll up door. the toy haulers use a rool up door on a torsional spring and they are DANGEROUS. i do alot of stuff myself, but im scared to death of the torsional springs. i recently had someone out to do mine and they lost it! put some dents in a pannel, lucky no one got hit by the cable cause that would have been ugly. service call should only be about a hundred bucks plus parts. well worth it

Are looking for Torsion springs ( wind up type ) or Extension springs ( stretch type )?? Torsion springs are mounted inside and use a cable and drum set-up. Extension Springs are generally mounted on the exterior along the sides of the door. Both are very dangerous- please be careful.

There is a company called Service Spring in Ohio that makes custom springs if that is needed.

I think your trailer is different, My WW uses the solid door garage spring.
