Getting noisy
It would seem that the Monty is starting to creak like our old stick house. We have been in it full time since Dec 2004 and was wondering if this is normal from extended use.... or is it a prelude to more serious problems??? Any ideas??

Mine creaks when I stand at the bedroom sink. I'm not worried about it. I've seen well build stick houses that creaked and they had screws in the floors and no nails.
Now if it had some sag...diffirent story.

Ours is over seven years old and it's been on the road almost all that time. It creaks and squeaks at different times and doesn't at other times. A lot of it has to do with how you're set up. For example, if the front landing legs are not both exactly on the ground at the same when lowering them then you'll have a slight twisting of the frame (not noticeable). It's at those times that I notice some squeaks and groans.

Ols, you may have hit it. Most of the noise is in the front bedroom/sink area. it could be the landing gear causing a slight twist after settling in.

It seems we are getting more and more squeaks all the time. I guess we will have to look at getting some shims for the front legs. It does seem to be off and on and could very well be how well we are set up. It has been a long time since we haven't heard any. It is in the steps and between the shower and commode area.
