I just wanted to share something about recently replacing my shocks with gas filled Bilstein shocks just in case anyone wants to refer to any information about my situation. I do not work for them or represent them in any way.
I have a 2002 Pace Arrow 37A Ford chassis coach. There was quite a bit of side roll and road wandering when I first too the coach on the road. I considered a Steering assist or a Sway Bar to correct the problems. But a friend recommended that I replaced my shocks with Bilstien B6 Gas shocks. http://www.bilstein.de/en-uk/products/high-performance-shock-absorbers/bilstein-b6/
I took his advice and the results have been nothing but fantastic. No roll, no wandering and it was significantly cheaper than a sway bar or steering assist mechanism. ($625 for 4 with install) I figured that the shocks needed to be replaced anyway, so this was the best way to go.
So I figured that I would post this in case anyone wanted to investigate improving the ride performance of their coach. Although certain chassis types are different, replacing your shocks with these are a good bet anyway to improve performance.
Cheers
Big Mike

Koni is also a good brand for shocks, in some cases they will be better choices than Bilstein. Both are improvements over what comes on many motorhomes. On our old gas motorhome, on a Workhorse W22 chassis, we ended up replacing the lousy Monroe shocks with Bilstein in front and Koni in the back, since those are what fit. We have OEM Bilsteins on our diesel, but they are getting old and we plan on replacing them with Koni shocks in fall.
