What would make the front end of a motorhome bounce up and down The faster the speed the more the bounce. No tow vehicle hooked up.... tires are fine. Air bag pressure is ok.

Bad or weak shocks. This behavior is called "porpoising" by those in the business.

That's really strange. Does your coach have an ride (as in air bags) or is it leaf springs?

I know some of the entry level Monaco's had leaf springs and they had a tendency to bounce in the front. I know the OP mentioned air bags just wanted to see if they were air assisted leafs or full on air bags. If it's full on air bags I can't think of anything other shocks. But a brand new coach you'd think the shocks would be OK unless they're undersized for some reason.
