I`m hearing a pretty loud thud.. when I go over small bumps on my roof . Drivers side near the side wall about halfway down the coach. Nothing is on that side. AC is in the middle. Any ideas what is IN the roof around that location that would make a pretty strong thud.. when I hit a bump. Everything works, just can't figure out what's in the roof there ..

Is unit under warranty? If so, maybe you should take it in. Sounds like it could be some of the roof framing or internal duct work (if there is any) may have come loose. Maybe have someone stand near the area and try to pinpoint the source of the sound. And also apply pressure to various places on the ceiling or walls, to see if sound stops or is otherwise affected.

When your SLIDE out is closed, does it look like the seals are being compressed?
Seals look ok, took it to the dealer this morning, went for a test drive. The tech asked me to bump the slide out about an inch or two and drive back. Noise gone... with the slide out a little.. so it's something to do with the bump out... get a tow package put on in two weeks for my little tow car. They will look at it then. I'll drop it off.. hopefully nothing major. I can still drive it, everything works.. just a good thud when going over bumps..

I'm wondering if your slide mechanism was built by Lippert. When Winnie switched from Powergear to Lippert slides in 2012 (I think) people started complaining about a knocking noise behind and above the driver's seat. I don't remember the final verdict, but I know it drove a lot of people nuts (including the dealers who were trying to fix it.)

RVCOOPER hasn't been on the forum in over a month. Hopefully if he comes back he'll let us know what the solution was.

I discovered that a banging noise was being caused by the LP hose banging the wall behind the oven. Had the drawer out under the oven, and found the hose swinging there. I put some nylon straps to hold it still, and the noise seems gone. I have a 2017 29VE as well.
