Popping what is it?

Terrible popping and creaking and I have not slept for 2 days. All day all night I have a video of sitting not moving and it happens.

It's called stiction in the hydraulic system. This is the link for the fix for it.

You aren’t giving us much to go on. Where is it coming from how loud and what else you can supply.

My Montana does not have hydraulic jacks. When the camper was still fairly new we had this popping sound that absolutely drove us batty. When I reached the point we couldn't take it any more, I did some exploring. It turned out to be the trim that hangs below the slide out was actually flopping when the wind blew slightly. I ended up getting some aluminum flat rods, created a "spring" out of them, and attached them to that panel hanging down. I think I ran 4 of these. Bottom line? The popping stopped and never heard it again.

The question is? The popping could be coming from anything. More details are needed.

Another vote for stiction. Got our additive from the Cat dealer in Blythe. They had it on the shelf. Don’t buy it off eBay. People were asking stupid prices for it when I was looking.

Actually, sounds kind of like me...

Since I hit 65, I have lots of episodes of unexplained creaking and popping...
(just couldn't resist)

I would guess you are getting a little cranky after two days. You may be in a bad neighborhood.
