2013 Itasca Sunstar 30T Noise Help

We love our new coach & the problems so far have been small & few but we do have an annoying intermittent noise on the road that I haven't been able to locate. It sounds like maybe electrical wires or such slapping against the inside of the front driver side slideout wall right behind the driver's head. It comes & goes depending on the roughness of the road. I first thought it might be radiating from the slideout awning roller mechanism but now am beginning to think its just something loose in the slideout wall. So far I have been able to fix the small problems we have had without taking it back to the dealer.

Anyone have any experience with this one?

Thanks,
Cass

    Yes, it is a neat rig - we are very happy with ours.

    My latest theory is that the spring in the slideout topper tube is broken or loose allowing it to rattle with road vibration & the sound being just above the slideout is radiating down the wall behind the drivers head sounding like it is in the wall. I have an appointment with the dealer to check that out in a couple of weeks.

    Still trying to find a cure.

    Talked to Customer Service at Winnebago & they said they've never heard of the problem before but that there is supposed to be styro in the slideout wall with a channel for any wires that may be there. Probably no way to get to it without cutting into the wall.

    Hi. I have the Sunstar 35B. I have not heard any noises as of yet, but will listen and check mine and let you know if I get any.
