DunaticSuzyQ Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Hey toyhauler owners out there -- need some insight or spectulation. 32' Forest River Fifth Wheel Toyhauler. Well maintained. Water in tank, but no toys loaded. Jump out the side door and hear what sounds like a sprung spring sound - loud - under the floor. Look around, but don't see anything under there. Any speculations on where/what you would look at? Are there staps on top of the holding tanks that I might not see from underneath that could have snapped. Heading to D tomorrow and now I'm nervous. Any suggestions? Please . . . Quote
dunefreak Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Srpung spring sound? I'm not sure what kind of sound you mean, but get underneath the trailer and take a good look at all the leaf springs, cross-bracing and brackets. Mine just had all kinds of broken stuff underneath and it's well maintained too. Toyhaulers suck. 1 Quote
dunefreak Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 One more thing it could be... I have a squeaking noise coming from mine when walking on the floor. One of the bolts came loose that secure the frame outriggers to the floor above one of the wheels. There is no way to tighten the damn thing either. Drives me nuts and I don't know what to do in order to take care of it. Quote
DunaticSuzyQ Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 It sounded like if the spring on the back door would have snapped and vibrated through the metal. I'm going to crawl under there again right now and look again . . . Quote
fishlips Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 I just droped my water tank today to fix a small leak and there were no springs. It just sits on angle iron 1 Quote
White Rhino Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 My Moho and my toy hauler both popped and such when I filled the water tanks. Maybe that is what u heard? Quote
Jakster884 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 What Paul said makes sense. Mine does the same water and the gas tanks make a sprung spring sound when filling. Not too sure about just sitting though. Quote
FireKracker Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 My back makes the same sound when i get outa bed in the morning... goes away as the day goes on. 1 Quote
DunaticSuzyQ Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) I had just filled the water tank and my daughter was stomping about in a cranky teen who had to help fashion . . . maybe it was the tank settling. I crawled back under there and looked around -- still nothing obvious. I guess extra slow on the entrance road for me. Edited October 23, 2013 by DunaticSuzyQ 1 Quote
White Rhino Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I'm sure it was the tank settling. Or Rees just woke up Quote
