shocks for 1980 class a Motorhome

I can't seem to find someone who knows the right shocks to get. I'm being my two front ones bad. Its a p30 chassis I believe (though I'm just basing that off of the various discussions I've heard on here). I'm not sure how to know for sure. I keep looking online and finding the p30 referred to as standard van or converted van, but this unit is 31 ft long so its definitely not what I would consider a standard van.
So can anyone help me get a shock that would work. The front is around 5000 fully loaded.

Do you have the Chevy 454 engine? Then its a P30 chassis. In parts lists, choose "Standard" if they don't have a separate RV listing. We buy shocks here

The van they are referring to is the StepVan, like the UPS brown delivery truck that comes to your (my) house.

Bilstein shocks

If you are looking for shocks and you plan to keep the coach for a while, and enjoy driving a well handling vehicle, look at Bilstein. Yea, they are a good bit more but worth it:

eshocks.com: 24-011730

Here are some additional choices for a bit less:
