Do you have an anti-billowing lock on the awning?

Antenna down, A/C covers tight, anything loose, windows closed?
Isolate where it's coming from.

It could be your grill, but it could be a thousand things. Older style Bounders had a "harmonic" with the metal grill at 40-45 MPH that was annoying as heck. Fleetwood's "fix" was to fill the grill with sand and stop the vibration...and it worked. Good luck.

Sometimes, but sound for sure is from front area.

There is a rubber trim piece that press fits into the rubber windshield gasket. I had similar wind noise and finally found trim was being lifted/pulled out of gasket and vibrating. At its worse sounded like a tire shedding tread.

I had that problem with a 2002 NRV Dolphin LX coach. NRV provided stiffeners for the crossbarsin the grill and it solved the problem. Before I got the stiffeners, I bent a couple of the crossbar slats slightly and that reduced the noise somewhat.


The stiffeners were nothing fancy - just another slim piece that clipped on the back edge of the crossbars.

Get a roll of painters tape and start taping up suspects. Eventually you'll find the culprit.
