Slide Noise

2015 Vista 36Y. Have had noise in front two slides since delivery. Back to two different dealers three times and an independent technician on my nickle, once.
I have slides serviced/lubed each year. When an expansion joint or bump in highway is run over, right side creaks are so loud that talk in normal voice is difficult. Left Slide is a constant squeaking which when compared to opposite slide is almost bearable.
We are thinking noise might be from cabinets grinding against side walls.
Even when coach was under warranty I found Winnebago to be of little help.
Have put handling fix and new shocks on for this trip. Noises are worse. Other than poltergeists anyone out there have any ideas or suggestions?
Thank-you!

In my case it was the rubber seals rubbing against the outside wall that caused noise. Winnebago said to rub cornstarch on the bulb seals. That worked. Talcum powder also worked.

We spray our slides with this every 3 mnths or so. Quiet things down quite a bit.

I asked a Winnebago Telephone Service Advisor the 'squeeky' slides question. His solution, 'use 303 on everything rubber and the slide walls.

303 Aerospace Protectant. Mfg website: https://www.goldeagle.com/product/30...ace-protectant

I got my 303 from Amazon for my old coach. Corn starch is definitely cheaper.

Slide squeal

I had it in one of my slides on 2015 Sightseer. Lubed the motor on the front frequnetly and treated the rubber seals. Pretty much stopped the sound. I also added slide braces as the slide seemed to move more than I liked.
