Going down the Hwy last weekend, I hit a fairly significant bump in the road that shook the coach pretty good and I heard this "POP" coming from the rear of the coach.  I immediatley pulled over and shut everything off.  I looked at everything I could see or touch, restarted the coach, didnt hear anything abnormal, coach didnt lean to one side or anything, tires were good, I just couldnt find anything.  I continued on to the campground, drove just fine, ran just fine.  Got to the camp ground, set up, everything working just fine.  So dumb founded, I just sort of gave up on finding anything......

that night, I noticed one of the small flourescent bulbs in the interior of the coach was burnt out, no biggee, I will change it tomorrow morning.  Next day I went to my little cabinet that held by replacment bulbs..........low and behold, there is was, I guess the bump was enough that it bounced my replacement flourescents and 2 of them broke inside the paper safety package....

PHEW !  Thats much a cheaper fix than I thought my problem was when I heard the "POP"  ;D
 
Where was that BUMP, sure want to make sure its not where I'm headed.
;D
 
Two additional reasons for "pops".

1. Toilet seat was left UP.  easy fix...make sure it is lowered before driving.

2. Bedroom door ( 1/2 swivel type).. easy fix...put a pillow on the floor to keep it open.

Happy noiseless driving... :D
