I installed Monroe shock kits on my 31RLD TT. I think a TT tends to magnify lousy roads more than a 5th wheel and there was a definite improvement in the ride and comfort.
I put the Monroe plates below the axle, used 1/2" bolts to secure it to the original plates above the spring, inserted shims between the bolts and axle tube so there was no fore and aft play between the bolts and the axle tube and tightened the bolts until there was a slight bend in the lower Monroe plate. All this was done to ensure that the lower plates would not shift position. The shocks were mounted on the inside of the frame as the LR slideout prevented outside of the frame mounting.
I cut access openings in the belly pan and used roofing rubber and Eternabond tape to seal the opening.
