Squeaks in Floor
DW, want to know who has squeaks in the floors? Ours started in just one place, now it has spread. Doesn't bother me, but DW can here worms yawning.
Is this something to be concern about? I know floor is one big sheet, at least that is what the promo video says.

We had squeaks in our 2010 Monty on our 1st time using it near the shower. The dealer fixed the squeaks. I suspect they will return. When you pull something of this size down the road over bumps and torque it when turning it's bound to happen. Annoying? You bet. Inevitable? Probably.
Anyone out there squeak free for longer than 1 year?

7.3 ford. I had squeaks in the floor near the cabinets. I took out the screws that hold the cabinets to the floor and the squeaks disapeared. I put new screws in that were a bit shorter in new hole. The screws that I took out were probally through the floor as the were too long by about 1 -1 1/2".That has been over a year ago and the squeks have not come back.

7.3
I had the same problem as brooksider. I removed the screws just behind the toe plate on the corner of the kitchen cabinet where the central vac is located and no more squeak!

So if I understand everyone correctly, it the screws around the cabinets that is causing the squeaks. Are they just coming lose or do they have to be removed?

Hope this helps.

First trip to dealer they added more screws to island to floor joint, still had squeaks. Next visit Montana had them add shims between floor and frame cross members (had gaps). That has been a year and still squeaks both behind and front of island. When work is done squeaks go away but return after moving trailer.

Just remove 1-2 screws near squeak & do not replace. Worked for me 3 years now.
