replacing shocks(rear)

[tagcat]

I am full time 4 months ago i was able to put coach in shop for several repairs i had them order Koni shocks for front and rear ,only the front came in so that is all that got done.(2004 Dilomat,shocks are original)) I can order the shocks my self but not sure how hard to do.I DO NOT want to go to camping world,would it be hard to find someone to come to camp ground and do? I really prefer not drop off and stay in motel.
Would love any suggestions as what would be the best course.
Thank You

I plan on doing my own later this year, all air bags and all shocks. I will be at home, where I have power tools, safety jacks, blocks, local auto and hardware stores, and the luxury of spreading the job out over days or weeks.

On our coach, access seems pretty good. Some of the bolts I can't see, but can feel them pretty well. Some owners have talked about cutting holes from the bedroom for access - make sure you know what you are getting into.

I would think a pro would do the job in less than a day. Were I a full-timer, I would likely pay and get it done. This from a guy who has replaced faucets, a furnace, etc. in parking lots and has done several oil changes along the road.

Shocks were easy just be prepared w/big tools and jacks

Did all 8 on mine in a day on the street. Sore for several days.


Check with a mobile RV Tech to see if they would do it. A local truck shop may have a mobile mechanic that would do it as well.

The backs are a bitch. I did the front because all the bolts are within eyesight. On the back shocks the bottom bolt is easy, but the upper ones are impossible. I took mine to NAPA Truck center and they did the back for $25 per shock.
