Just finally got our upgrade from a 38' 5th wheel to an Aspect 29H last Wednesday and went camping this weekend. We had a great time and only have 1 possible issue with the new rig.

The left front Auto Leveller leg rattles while driving. This is the first rig with this option and I was wondering if this is a usual thing or should I be digging into the problem.

Usually a rattle is caused by something loose or rubbing against something. I would inspect the unit to see if anything is loose or rubbing and make the necessary correction. If tightening does not work, I have used new washers and electrical tape to eleminated metal to metal noise.

Good luck and enjoy the adventure.

Our Aspect's leveller legs don't rattle (as yet, anyway). Good luck.

As you use it more, and loosen things up, you will soon learn that in a class C, a lot of things rattle. The also rattled in your fiver, but you weren't riding back there to hear it.

Inspect the leveler, try to rattle it by hand, see if something is loose that can be tightened.

We had some noise comming from the left front when our E-450 was new. I had the front end alined and the noise went away. The motorhome was way out of alinement.
