Shock Absorbers- 2008 Beaver Marquis 45’ Amethyst IV

[Gary Miller]

I have electronically controlled shocks that need replacement. I will replace with standard shocks but need part numbers for Bilstein or Koni replacements and any recommendations. Thanks as always!

Gary,
This thread provides some info abut Koni and Bilstein units. http://beaveramb.org/forum/index.php/topic,8392.msg58002.html#msg58002
Shock Warehouse  https://www.shockwarehouse.com/index.cfm?mode=make&type=M is a good source with competitive prices.
IMHO, Konis aren't worth the extra $ when compared to Bilsteins, but some members swear by Konis. In any case, to find the right shock, look under Monaco Roadmaster S chassis with 10 bags. I think the Monaco Signature is the equivalent to your Marquis.

Just a tip, another BAC member found electronic shocks at Source Engineering outside Eugene Or. Got 'em for a steal, or so I'm told. Might wanna give them a call.

Jim at Source Engineering in Veneta Or.  Took a fair amount of his time to give me the history on the Electronic shocks.
1)  Monaco adapted them from Jaguar but did not want to spend the money to engineer them to the Beaver coaches. 
2)  After Monaco failed, Source Engineering Had all the specs and Engineering done for Beavers and Monaco and developed a shock to replace the electronic ones. 
3)  We looked into replacing ours because we were told they all needed replacement but replacing one broken shock worked fine.  Jim has a few good spare electronic shocks.
4)  Jim and Scott checked our whole system including the controlers and accelerometers.  Works great!  Very reasonable price as well.
