I am trying to get help for this on the Newmar forum, but thought someone here might also have an idea. Like the gjuy with the Mountain Aire, my problem is intermittent. Drove me crazy yesterday and gone today. I am sure it will come back.

Same problem in our 2005 MADP. Six months ago the rear AC started making a rattling noise. At one of the ducts there was metal tape. The noise went away only to return again recently. More tape found at the same duct. The noise is still present but to a lesser degree.
We had the same issue with our 2003 DSDP. After the problem went away did not take any further action.
This seems to be a common problem in Newmar products. Does anyone know the purpose for the tape? Is it something that requires repair?

A new problem suddenly popped up on our new 2005 KS3910. We have been
running the air most of the time (fulltiming) and yesterday we began
to hear a sound that was sort of like bacon frying, or rain
pattering. In fact I was working on the pc and in the back of my mind
though a soft rain had started. I looked outside and saw it was
sunny, so I turned to the stove to see if something was cooking.
Turned out it is a crackling sound coming from our forward zone output
ducts. I removed the vent from two of the forward ducts and in one
duct was about a 2 inch square of something that looked like aluminum
foil, though a but stronger. I removed it but the crackling sound
continues. It is just loud enough to be quite annoying.
Anyone know what is going on or had a similar problem. I am thinking
of going to Home Depot today and picking up a 50 foot fish tape
(something I need anyway for future wiring jobs) and attaching a small
rag and pushing through the duct to see if I pick anything else up.
Would appreciate any tidbits anyone has to offer on this.
