Mine is a lot quieter than when I bought it. There has been much improvement after:
1. Going through and tightening every screw I could find.
2. Adding felt bumpers to prevent door rattles.
3. Tightening down lag screws on couch frame where mounted to floor.
4. Learning that the dinette table down eliminates table noise.
5. Keep electrical plate on door latch, and use slide bolt on door when traveling.
6. Installing new tires and adjusting tire pressure according to Toyo's chart. This was after having the motorhome weighed at the CAT scales.
7. Having the front end aligned....something that apparently had never been done.
8. Used foam sleeves to prevent dish and pot rattles.
At this point, the motorhome is pretty quiet on good to fair roads. Road joint bumps are much more dampened and cause less noise. As we're relatively new owners, I'm still listening and exploring how to reduce any noise....headed on a trip next week, so we'll get a better idea as we just installed tires and had he alignment done.
