Squeaky front end
Hello I have a 2016 37ft Ford motorhome, 7000 MILES. The FRONT END is squeaking. Thank you for any help. Kenny

Can you locate what is squeaking? Many things can sqyeak on a motorhome, such as cabinetry flexing or getting slightly loose.
If this is a class C motorhome with a cabover area, not infrequently the joint between the cab roof and the bunk board will get loose and squeak. Generally the builders use a dozen or so screws driven up from below, and these work loose. A temporary fix is to tighten them back down (you have to pull the headliner out of the way, which on my RV involves taking out the visors). A much more permanent solution is to put some bolts through and secure it with split washers and lock nuts. It might be possible to hide the bolt heads under the edge trim on the bunk board, or countersink them, or just use carriage bolts with fairly thin heads.
