Navion rear wheel noise

I'm fixin' to buy Navion but I have read in numerous places about rear wheel noise. How do you fix that?

I'm curious about why you are asking this question. I participate in 3 Sprinter chassis forums and have never run across anything about rear wheel noise. People that I personally know who have Sprinter chassis motorhomes have never mentioned an issue like this.

So what exactly is this noise you read about? What year was the Navion and how many miles did it have?

The OEM Continental tires are not the most quiet tire out there but they are not too bad. You could do better with other brands probably but who cares.

I've been on the Yahoo forums for about two years and never heard this mentioned. Also been on the Sprinter Forum, but almost exclusively the T1N forum, so I could have missed something there.

2 Sprinters since 2009 and the only "rear wheel noise" we've had is with the junk OEM Continental tires.
There's driveline whine, but that's normal in a long driveshaft equipped vehicle with little or no floor insulation
