And noticed that on good pavement she rides smooth but on rough road its a rough ride /hits hard no shake in the steering wheel,new tires /shocks last year and has about 46000 miles on coach -is this normal or what---what up front should i be looking at for wear or ????????????

Frank,

The place to start is to jack up the passenger front tire and check for loose lug nuts, spin and shake the tire from side to side for worn wheel bearings and put something(long bar) under the tire and lift up to check for a worn King Pin.

I just got back from Spartan and had to have both bell cranks rebuilt in the front end. Wondering if that might be your problem. Since i bought the coach used i did not know what it should really feel like . Between getting those rebuilt and having Konis added to the front. Boy how nice it is know!
Thanks
