I have a 1994 30 ft. Fleet wood flair. With a P-30 chassis and twenty three thousand miles. Wondering what are the best shocks to use. Thanks.

What chassis?
Advice for a Ford F53 won't do you much good if you have a Chevy P chassis.

At that mileage the Shocks should be still fine! We have over 50,000 Miles on Ours . I am thinking that I might start shopping for replacements soon!
I believe that Ours are Bilstein !

It handles bumps really hard. Plus the shock technology has improved so much in the last 15 years since the m/h was made

Shocks have more to do with the handling after a bump. The shock absorber controls the up and down motion after the bump. The Ford chassis has always been a little stiffer than the P30 so you could be in worse shape. What have you done to the air bags in the front coil springs? They should be inflated to a certain level based on the GVW of the chassis. Some air bags on the rear could also help the ride a little bit. It is still a truck and will ride a little rougher than your car. I had a '96 Pace Arrow on the P30 and I had to keep 95psi in the front air bags for the best ride.

Koni FDS made a world of difference in my first MH.
