Need ideas on Furnace issue

I have my coach in storage. The other day I was working on the interior and decided to turn on the furnace for warmth. I first turned on the propane and then set the thermostat. When the furnace kicked on, there was a very loud rattle sound. My first thought was that the pilot light needs to be lit. I then realized that it has an Electronic ignition. Someone suggested that Mud Daubers may have nested, but I have not opened it up to check. Any ideas what it could be?

Could be mud daubers or other critters in the air flow path, getting sucked through the fan blades. It doesn't have to be anything large to make a rattle - a hard shelled beetle will do it. Could also be the fan itself, which is typically a squirrel cage type with plastic fins that have been known to disintegrate after a few years (this I know from experience!). The sound of plastic shards flying around inside is startling, to say the least.
