likely the metal frame cooling off, reacting to changes in temp. our MH did the same thing.

If you have Lippert jacks Google Lippert leveling system popping noises...
We experienced this in our 2014 Journey and ended up replacing a quart of the original fluid with anti-stiction fluid - problem solved.

expansion and contraction of fluids inside the jack cylinders will cause the sounds you describe.

I have noticed a squeak in the floor too in front of the pull out drawers in the galley when slides are out. I will say the frame has loosened up some in 90000 miles and some really poor roads too. We've been from Key West to Newfoundland to Fairbanks to Baja so far. So not surprised she has developed some squeaks, groans and loose cabinets.
