Irritating unusual loud rattle forward area of slide
My 2104 Itasca Sunstar 31KE has developed an intermittent rattle/rubbing - and a bit louder than other ambient rattles sound- somewhere near the top forward area of the slide- above and behind where the slide intersects with the wall near the drivers seat. The sound/ rattle is somewhat loud and a bit consistent.
I have been unable to birdog the source and wondered if anyone else had a similar sound and was able to isolate and identify what it might be. I don't think its the slide motor as the slide seems to work perfectly. Yesterday while on the interstate it kicked up again and the mrs was able to apply some pressure to the slide wall area which seemed to mitigate the noise, making me think there was just some minor slop in the slide creating the rattle.She was able to eliminate the noise with w vit of pressure on the slide wall.
I thought I'd try a slide bar to take the slack out as minimal as the movement seems.
I wondered if it might be the forward part of the slide canopy banging around on the outside?????- but have not noticed any weakness there.
Any similar experiences or fixes out there?
