Konirv.com has a shock finder for all RV's on the right side of their page where it says shop online.  Next to fuel line replacement, new shocks have provided the most satisfying return on investment for us on our '98 U320.

Jimmy,
Do yours have the Bilsteins now? I assume they are OEM. Ours is Bilsteins, I don't know if they are OEM. We don't have any issues but when I read here about Koni FSD sounds like it does something.
What David wrote "added benefit when we are parked I don't get the bounce and movement as much from anyone in the Coach.." made me think though, if anything that I had to complain or ask to make it better .... hummm almost 2 Coach bucks, want or need ?

The Koni FSD's give a softer ride over small bumps AND (repeat AND) more control/dampening over the large ones.  Yes, two sets of valves are more expensive.

Not sure there is a blanket "it is/is not worth it".  It is an improvement over other shocks.  It is a big improvement over worn shocks!

Not sure I would do it in anticipation of a change while parked and on auto leveling.
