I have a 20 ft 1992 Damon Hornet Class C motorhome. It has 62,000 miles on it. I am wondering how to check if the rear and/or front shocks need replacing, especially the rear shocks. Is there a test I can apply to the motorhome (like pressing down on the rear end of a car) or something I should be sensing in the ride? What should I be experiencing if new shocks are needed? Does anyone out there have any comments on a motorhome like this one? Thanks!

Darrell

Easiest, most reliable way to check shocks is to take a good look at them and to see if you can determine if there any leaks. Do you see any signs of oil leaking? If you do, chances are it's time for new ones.
