Hello, I am a new member and we just upgraded from Class C to a 2003 Dolphin W22 Class A, we love it but it is different than the old Class C and I have few question, for now I will start with: when slowly rolling on the road ( maybe 3 to 5 miles speed ) I hear a rolling noise sounds like coming from the main shaft but not sure, is this normal on the W22 chassis???
Thank you.

Welcome to the forum LouisB, I'm sure you will find a lot of good info here. You can do a find and type in drive shaft noise or rear end noise and you will get a lot of information and suggestions.
This does not sound normal. I would suggest you check the drive shaft joints and hangers for play and lubrication. Is there any vibration? You also might want to check your hubcaps. I had a similar issue where mine were creaking when stressed. A good W/H authorized shop can diagnose it for you though. Especially if it is the rear end.
Good Luck!

Probably need to grease the u-joints. My 02 SW was dry from the factory. I grease them every 3k miles. Just a thought.

Oh thank you for the replies, I don't feel any vibration at all just a kind of noise when slowly rolling, I will fo sure take it back to the dealer since they gave me 30 days warranty and have them inspect it.
You all are great and I have been reading every post and learning lots of things about my new toy.
Thank you.

I too have a rolling noise in my coach at the same speed. However mine is caused by the Centramatics I added on the coach. It's possible that may be the noise you hear.

Check your backup camera. Turn off or turn volumn all the way down. This camera will pick up road noise. Just something to check before spending a bunch of money.
