Do dp motorhome with air bags also have shocks.?

[captron33]

How often should they be replaced. Thanks.

[JoeH]

I changed mine after a couple of years for what I consider better performing ones. OEM were too harsh

[captron33]

Sounds like a reasonable test. What would be a good replacement brand? I have 90,000 mi.on my 2006 travel supreme.

Yes, all DP's have shocks.

No standard answer to how long they last:

Were the OE shocks "least expensive bid" or "best available"?

How many miles on them? Mostly smooth roads or rough ones?


Best to TEST THEM:
Drive over regular shopping center speed bumps at regular/low speeds. If an axle bounces more than 1.5 times replace the shocks.

I replaced mine after 10 years and it really improved the ride and steering
