Husband has been trying to locate the sound. It is not under the front cap; it is in the front storage area--there is square metal column on the right side by the winch. The sound appears to be coming from that--like something has rattled loose.
Front landing gear assembly
Are you unhooked from truck with landing gear legs down and set?
Check the anchor bolts that attach landing gear assembly to frame of 5vr. Probably 'U' shaped bolts around the upper tube.
There should be NO movement in the upper part of assembly/tube
And only a little movement in the drop legs pin goes thru
Hook trailer back up to truck for support then retract landing gear just off ground and check the whole assembly for looseness
We're narrowed it down to the metal column of the landing gear. Something inside clunks when we shake the front of the rv. Jacks go up and down, no problem. I called a local rv service and they can't get us in before the middle of Jan. We're on the road over the next two weeks. Guess we'll just have to move on south and see how things turn out. Of course, these problems always happen when we're on the road over 1500 miles away from home.
