Chassis noise

[midiowa]

I have a 2007 Tuscany that makes popping noises when we walk around in the coach and pops sometimes when there is a side wind. This is while we are totally set up with jacks down. Sometimes the popping sounds are worse than others but seems to be getting worse over time. The noise sounds like it is coming from underneath the floor somewhere. Any ideas?

If you have a HWH system make sure the jack reservoir is filled,with oil, to line indicators on bell vent. Air in lines can cause what you describe.
May have to work jacks a few times to eliminate.

I have LCI leveliing and that is not where the popping noises are coming from.

Had a metal shield near the LP tank to protect from exhaust system that would flex with temperature change would let go with a bang.
Put a extra bend in it to eliminate.

Welcome to irv2 by the way.

My 08 Astoria does something similar. The sound seems to be coming from the right rear jack, but I haven't been able to pinpoint it. It is, of course, intermittent (couldn't reproduce at factory or freightliner) and seems to happen after the weather cools (night/morning). I'll check the fluid level.

I discovered the popping - cracking noise coming from the chassis while parked with the jacks extended was caused by a slightly low fluid level on the LCI leveler tank. I filled the fluid level to 1/4" from the top-raised and lowered the jacks a couple times and the noise stopped. Yee Haa>
