I think we need to know first why you are putting air shocks on ? Are they just for the dampening action or are you trying to solve some sort of problem you are having ?
To prevent those stuff inside the RV from flying all over.
Good enough reason to spend $600?
Wrong, not a "good reason" to spend $600.
You ARE doing something absolutely wrong if you have "stuff flying around inside".
I have a wired outdoor thermometer sitting (not glued, not velcroed but just sitting there) on the counter top, been there for 11 yrs and has not moved more than several inches.
We also sit a liquid soap pump bottle along with other bathroom items in the bathroom sink, those HAVE never moved out of that sink and bathroom sink IS on the REAR BACK WALL of the trailer.
Have never had doors or drawers move, even have solid bifold doors which we sometimes forget to latch for moving and those doors are still in the same position when we get to our campsite..
Heck even for our annual state mandated safety inspection we often have several big plastic bins with sheets and other bedding in for the winter storage just sitting loose on the floor.. Have never seen those move even an inch..
I sit our 24" LCD TV on the master bed, never moves, not once.
You are way overthinking RVing, put everything in a position which will prevent movement or damage, you DO need to put some stuff away in cabinets and drawers BEFORE MOVING.. You cannot treat it like it is a sticks and bricks that doesn't move.
Shocks will not help your loose stuff in the event of needing to make emergency stops or maneuvers, anything loose WILL become projectiles and cause severe havoc to said items and your RV interior.
