W18 Shocks

I searched the forum and did not find anything specific on W18 Workhorse shock replacement. Looking at Monroe's due to cost constraints. Bilstein dose not make a shock for the W18 and Koni shocks are out of my budget. Has anyone installed Monroe shocks on their W18?

i don't have any info about w-18 shocks.
my w-20 came with monroe shocks.
i bought it with 7800 miles on it.
the rf shock had no resistance, the lf front and both rear shocks were jerky.
i bit the bullet and per the overwhelming advice on this forum i installed koni FSD shocks from shox.com.
kinda expensive, but a great improvement.
i don't know what year your rv is but shox.com lists bills for older class a gm chassis rv's.

I contacted Monroe support and the shocks for Workhorse W16 - W18 have been discontinued. Looks like Koni is the only manufacture that still makes shocks for a W18.
