2007 Montana

The other day we had a really wild wind storm. The rig really got to rockin’ & rollin’. After the wind died down we could hear this banging noise coming from the front right in the area of the generator and in the space where the propane tank goes. We took a video but I’m not sure if I can post it but I’ll try. It sounds like something came apart and everytime the rig moves, like when we’re walking through it, it makes this banging noise. We have checked out EVERYTHING and as far as we can tell it seems to be coming from the landing gear shaft. Anyone experience anything like this? All suggestions are welcome. Thank you all!!!

NOT ABLE TO UPLOAD VIDEO. NOT SURE WHAT I’M DOING WRONG.

I used to have a 2007 Montana and I am sure you have Elect front Jacks. That is where you need to look closely. Check all the mounting bolts and run the jacks up and down and listen to hear noise coming out of the gearing on the top of the jack. Touch works too. Put a hand on the top of a jack and see if you can feel a snap when noise occurs Someone with good ears could maybe determine direction of noise if standing near the landing jack compartment. If it is the jack that is not too bad of a job. I have done it twice on mine.
