Vibration after generator shut off

[LizCarmel]

I am sitting in my MH parked at a Flying J for the night. The diesel engine is off. I ran the generator briefly but it is shut off as well. It feels like something is running. I feel a vibration coming from the floor.

Can anyone tell me what is going on, and how I can stop the vibration?

Thank you.

Hi Liz, How about the water pump? Look in your wet bay door and see if you can hear it better.

Move away from the 18 wheeler that is parked next to you....

I turned off the water pump and still feel it.

The semis are on the other side; I'm parked on the car side. Perhaps it is the trucks. It's a very strange sensation.

I have a 23ft 1988 class A with a Dodge 360 engine. I feel the same thing after driving all day. It has happened on many occasions while driving full days.

At first I thought there was an electric fuel pump in the gas tank that was still running, OR that it was a semi on the either side of the Truck Stop parking lot… :(

My girlfriend couldn't feel it, but she didn't spend all day driving the rig, so I am thinking it is just from having my legs stuck in the driving position all day on the floor and gas pedal.

Let me know what you figure out as I am also curious as to what is causing the vibration on the floor after I shut the RV down for the night.

Thanks Ian. I've driven long days and overnighted at truck stops before but never experienced this before. It's very odd.

I know it's VERY ODD, especially since my girlfriend couldn't feel it. I will try and test it again when I take the RV for short local runs here and see if I feel the floor vibration after shutting everything down.

[LizCarmel]

Thanks Ian. I'll let you know if I figure it out. It's never happened to me before. Weird.

Walk back to your towed and sit in it for a time to see if you feel a vibration there. It could be muscle tremors from driving tensed-up. I've experienced that after a long stressful driving day, which is another reason I now limit driving to 300 miles a day max.

[LizCarmel]

Thanks Ray. I didn't feel it in the toad. As long as it's nothing serious I won't worry about it.

I did about 300 miles today but it was stressful at times. The "scenic route" wasn't too relaxing. :-)

Do we think it related to "muscle tremors"…?

I could swear that it felt like an electric pump vibration coming from under the floor. What was weird was, I was on my hands and knees and could swear I could feel the floor vibrating yet my GF couldn't (so she thought I was losing it) :(

Now that I think of it, I usually felt it after having a 500 mile day in a noisy, vibrating old RV.

The next time I take it out for a 10-20 mile trip, I'll try and see if I feel any vibrations ( or muscle tremors)

[LizCarmel]

I feel it from the floor too.

Liz--can you hear anything running? Have you done a walk-around the RV? That would make me crazy(er).

You have a diesel pusher right? Do you have an aquahot heating system? Could that be running? They can vibrate.
