Buying a 2022 37k Super C
Took my test drive the other day and everything was great handled good brakes good and felt completely comfortable the only thing that bothered me was the rattling of the blinds when I hit a big bump any ideas or suggestions on how to quiet down everything when on the road?

Welcome. Were the blinds up or down? When mine are up there is no rattle.
Tell the dealer the rig pulled to one side or the other. Jayco pays for an alignment if there was an issue during the test drive. After the test drive the alignment is the new owners responsibility.

Oddly enough, we just took a test drive in the Entegra version of the same unit last weekend, and i was quite pleased with how quiet it was going over some rough roads compared to the F53 24K V10 based coach we have now.
I agree with EA37TS that the shade when left down can make quite a bit of a racket. I’ve noticed this both in our existing coach as well as during the test drive on the Accolade. I didn’t look at the shades that closely during the test drive, but I know on our current unit you can adjust the wheel on the end of the shade to get it to retract a little more or less depending on your needs, and changing the length of what’s left hanging when retracted makes a huge difference in the period of the swing and therefore whether it makes noise.
Also, you could put some self-adhesive velcro (the soft side) on the back of the bar at the end of the shade so that the impact against the window frame hits the velcro instead of the bar.
I’ll know more once we pick it up mid next week.

My wife is excellent at “rigging for Silent Running”. Every rig we have had, the first trip or two she breaks out the sticky felt dots, sticky rubber dots, and the rubber shelf liner to find the culprits…..Every coach will rattle, but she is excellent and squelching the easy stuff….

I’ll have to verify this tomorrow but I believe the Velcro strips are already on the back of the sun shade.

We picked up our 37K on the 7th of January and it didn’t have Velcro on the backs. I did put some on and it does help. If having them down, stagger them a bit so the metal bars at the bottom of the shades don’t hit each other and have them a little above the window knobs. Other than that it’s fairly quiet inside. We put non skid cabinet liners in the bottom of each shelf and in between plate/bowl and metal cookware.
As far as the front end alignment, we had this done last week and all you have to do is get a quote from a place you feel comfortable with and send it to Jayco customer service. They will approve it, then get the work done and they reimburse you after you send an invoice showing was paid. I didn’t have to mention it to the dealer. I contacted Jayco directly prior to taking delivery asking what to do if it needed a front end alignment and this is what they told me. I did everything through email.

oh my... This makes us laff.... Thinking about how to bring a few essentials along...
Think about it - taking these things so they don't take up all the room in the Seneca-
Corn pot... inside of that is
Casserole Pot... Inside of that is
Stove Top Coffee Percolator with these packed inside
Glass Perc Viewer, Basket, Strainer, Tube
and ... who knows if a few shot glasses did not make it inside of the percolator???
So who wants to tell my DW how she can make that go silently down the road.
and then tell me how much work it is going to take to make that... Not be - the noisiest rattletrap going down the interstate !
We have never heard our Blinds rattle down the road since we bought it... They are drowned out by the other noises now...

Yesterday was one month...
I drove home from the dealer and took a trip to Mooresville last week and back home across the lovely cross Bronx!
While everything rattles coming across there and in and out of long island 😁 the shade in the side door rattles like crazy and I have yet to get to figure out how to quiet it down.
The other shades don't seem to make much noise if at all.

We pull the side door shade all the way down then there isn’t any slack in the side strings so the shade can’t move.

Cornpop,
There is a panel over the fuel tank on the driver's side, that by design, is made to rattle. Fought it for 6 years and 92 000 miles. Final solution, was to repair with epoxy and fiberglass cloth on the back and then cover with "Great stuff" foam on the backside. I trimmed the foam to allow it to fit, but the foam filled any void that allowed a resonating noise to come up through your feet. Just one item I didn't see mentioned in the list of trying to quite the noise.

Fuel tank on an S2RV is in the area of the rear axle not near the driver’s door.

Yep, but the OP is buying a 2022. M2 is irrelevant to his question.

Hi Cornpop, not sure if you can get herd bumper in black. Just wanted to let you know that I have a telescopic ladder that I use to shut the outside micro vent. It has two tabs that click into place to keep it latched shut. Just got to remember to open it before you use the fan. Mickey
