Rattling Door

Any of you guys have the issue of the door raddling like crazy while on the road? Squeaking as if it's rubbing against the frame? If so, what's the fix?

Have had the same issue and cannot say I have a sure fix. I have done a few things : sprayed the hinges with silicone spray, put a strip of foam tape in the door frame where the door closes (this seemed to really work), took a Q-Tip and spread some silicone paste (like used on rubber gaskets) and applied on the lock mechanism. If you do all of these, it may help !! I have also read, that part of the issue is the screen door and how it seats in the frame. Good Luck, I hope this helps.

On our 2016 31DS the above fix helped.
Also the striker plate was a little loose so tighten it up
Another rattle source was the gas strut on base of door was
rubbing on door. I sanded paint of and coated with silicone.
This was a big help.
Some of the rattle we are hearing is the microwave door
,have not figure how to attack that one yet.

The screen door was a cause of rattles too. I originally installed this lock on the screen door to prevent the cat from getting the door open when we were camped. I locked it when we were traveling and found it pulled the screen pretty tight and eliminated the screen door from making any noise.

I have a Greyhawk 31SS a lot of rattles we finally stopped were removing the microwave turntable, the stove cover we placed towels over the burners closed the lid on top of them, inside the stove removed the oven rack along with lubing the door we now drive rattle free.

WE also discovered we could alleviate noise by placing a bath towel over the double sink openings and then place the sink covers back on top of the towel. We also removed the glass turntable in the microwave while traveling.

To stop the stove top cover from making noise, I removed it and replaced it with a solid wood oak finish cover. Besides stopping noise, it has the added benefit of giving you more counter space when not using the stove.

We just bought a new Entegra 26d and it rattles and squeaks like crazy. Going to look at it today.
