My 2004 Horizon started to seem to be more bouncy on the highway. What can cause the ride to change? The air pressure is holding at just over 100 psi.

Nothing lasts forever. Most shocks put on by coach mfgrs are cheap, and there are better tho more expensive alternatives.

If your original ride was acceptable, you can replace like w/like. But you can also check around for recommendations on what other brands/models have been used in the aftermarket. You can spend from about $50 per shock up to about $400 (each, x4 = $1600 for all 4 corners). IIWM I'd search the Winnebago forum for "new shocks" and see what comes up by owners of the same coach.
