Noise on Driver Side only while driving

[mdecastra]

On a 2014 Fleetwood Southwind 32vs with less that 5000 miles. I started hearing a low pitch noise while driving. It's not whistle or rattle, but sounds like something is flapping in wind making deep flutter sound.

At first, it would come and go. Started on the road, got it as I was getting up to speed. Stopped at next exit. Started again, it did not start. Later down the road it came back.

Now it starts every time I take it on the road.

It appears to be in the top left hand corner of windshield. Maybe behind the cabinets up top.

Only hear it when on the road going faster than 20MPH.

Have a front tag of some sort? I had one come just loose enough to do that.

It may be the windshield moving and what you are hearing is the seal flapping.

Check your antenna and marker lights. Had my antenna causing noise and went away after I changed it out to a stronger spring.

If you have a rubber roof put a camera up there and see if the material is inflating and causing a huge bubble. that will make a flapping sound.

Dometic refers to it as an anti bellows stop. Its a short arm on the end of the roller tube. When the slide is in, it prevents the tube from rotating. If you need to see it, Google Dometic slide topper installation manual.

Haha Dennis - you crack me up!

If it is the anti-bellows making the noise your spring tension needs to be increased on the roller spring to stop the noise

I had an annoying noise coming from the passenger side whenever I was driving. Bought a GPS unit and left the mother in law at home and the noise went away...:B:B:B.....Dennis

Check and see if maybe the top corner of your windshield is starting to pop out.

How can I fix or reduce the noise from the "anti-bellows device" if that is what it is? I am not at my unit and will check later, just wondering. Thanks for the ideas!!

Did you check to make sure there is not a rip in the roof material that's flapping?
