I may have the same rattle that started after owning the motorhome for around 3 years.
We have a rattling noise like two pieces of tin vibrating against each other. It happens at certain speeds - in the range of 35 MPH to 45 MPH in top gear. In lower gears the rattling can occur at lower speeds.
Our noise sounds like it's coming from under the front floor near the motor or somewhere up around the motor itself. Mechanics have checked everything under the front area, such as the exhaust manifolds and heat shields ... except for removing the doghouse and looking around the motor.
I think it's some tin or sheet metal pieces up around the motor. I'll find it and fix it one of these days when I get off my duff and remove the doghouse. I'm guessing it'll be something obvious and simple to eliminate around the motor - where mechanics have not yet checked.
