De-rattling my new to me 2005 Newmar Mountain Aire 4304 DP - tips?

Once I actually get the coach, my first thing will be trying to get all the rattles out of it that I can. I know they all rattle, but I'd like to make it as quiet as I can make it. I figure the time to do that is when I get it, before I load it up with my stuff. I'll worry about quieting the dishes, glasses and all that later. For now I want the coach itself to be as quiet as possible. I'm sure some of you guys have been through this - any tips on what to look at and best way to proceed?

Have someone else drive and you move around listening for rattles and then work on repairing them one at a time. That is what I did.

You'll never be able to find every squeek and rattle. These help for pots and pans:

DW will tell me about anything that irritates her, then I fix it.

X2 on having someone else drive while you track down the rattles. But your DW will be your eyes and ears for new ones that creep up every outing. Just like your day "ride", things will loosen up and things that rode perfectly fine last flight will suddenly launch themselves across the cabin.

Good luck with the new coach!
