How does it handle? When I bought a used class A a few years back it was just terrible to handle in any condition. Wandered all over the road. Lots of sway and seemed like I couldn't keep it on the road. I put on a set of Koni shocks and it was like a new coach! What an incredible improvement. The best investment I ever made on that coach. When in doubt, change them out.

When front shocks are bad your front end will porpoise when you come out of dips, I have seen rigs continue up and down 5 car links past dips.

This describes it to a tee.
