Subject: squeaks and rattles
Jim: Some of our mirrors have actually come loose by themselves. Luckily we noticed each time before they fell off and broke. I have reattached them using the white spongy 2 way wall mounting tape. So far this fix has worked very well. One of our repair jobs has been in place over 2 years now. We also had a big problem with our dinette booth table squeaking and we solved this problem by buying a piece of clear flexable tubing large enough to slit it lengthwise and slip it over the end of the table that rests against the wall. The tubing provided just enough cushion to fill up the extra space between the wall and the table to stop the squeaking and it looks good enough to leave it on all the time.
We now have some new squeaks in our dash and have not yet figured out what to do about that yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?

After 5.5 years and 70K miles, we have lots of squeaks and rattles, especially when driving on our awful California highways. Lots of the noise seems to be coming from the mirrors mounted on the kitchen slideout walls (we have the 36B model). Has anyone removed and remounted these mirrors? Any advise about how to quiet them and other noises?
I get a lot of noise on mine in the driver compartment area, its a series of screws in the below the A-pillars that you can access by lifting the hood. These screws go through a metal bracket, half the time they have backed themselves out or have fallen out all together. Last service I requested that they use lock-tite on them but they are squeeking again, so I'm going to have to check and see if they did what they said they did or not. I'm a little hesitant to go to the red lock-tite, but if these things don't stop coming loose....
