Mine are Konis, mounts for dual shocks per wheel in front but only one per wheel installed. Coach isn't here so can't provide additional information at this time.

Clarke, our coach takes 4 Koni 90C1867 shocks. I got a good visual on our shocks and saw this number . They are on our summer 2022 list of to do items. I believe it to be long obsolete. This shock was also used on Newell # 281, a 1992 model.  I know this because the only operation manual i have  is from 281, and this is listed for front shocks.  Please let me know if you find an equal shock.

Specs from a Koni catalog in that era (archived on wanderlodgeownersgroup.com)
Part Number: 90-1867
Bushing Kit: 38
Shock Style: o / o (top and bottom attachments are in the same plane)
Max Length: 23.39
Min Length: 15.08
Stroke: 8.31
Bump @ 13 ips: 135
Rebound @ 13 ips: 1686
Rebound @ 20 ips: 2158
Hydraulic Rebound: No

This was once a “popular” shock on commercial vehicles. I gotta believe that Koni customer support could guide you to an equivalent in their current 90 Series.
