“Click Click” noise
We have a 2020 Thor Hurricane Throughout the day and night, there is an occasional “click click” noise that we can’t figure out. It comes from the right middle side of the coach. That side houses the water tank and pump and house batteries. Everything is working fine in the RV (finally!). Any ideas?

Sounds like the ignitor for the Furnace, or the gas side of the water heater, or the fridge.

It may be the BIM connecting/disconnecting the house/chassis battery banks. Does it stop if you unplug SP?

Water Pump. Are you connected to city water when this occurs?
A small decrease in pressure can cause the pressure switch on the pump to turn on the pump for a short time. Air in the fresh water lines can do the same where the air is trapped in a pipe and the water pushes on it, during temperature swings the air will contract or expand slightly and cause the pump to short cycle.
If the water pump is off at the switch or panel then no. But I keep mine on all the time just insure the DW has water pressure.

This would be my guess too. I have a 2020 hurricane as well and we don't hear any clicking from the batteries, however we do hear it from water heater if on propane.

You have a BIM (battery interconnect module) and not a BIRD (battery interconnect relay delay) of the older coaches. Your coach has solid state device and ours is a 100 amp relay.

you may be hearing your hydraulic levelers - they tend to 'crick' or 'click' at times, for whatever reason, in certain situations, especially when they are more fully extended.

When not in use, we keep our rig parked behind the house leveled on gravel. I also hear periodic "clicks" from the levelers in that situation; especially when there has been a recent temperature swing (up OR down). Haven't seen any issues because of this adjustment.
If your clicking is constant, or occurs on a more regular basis - the answer may lie elsewhere.
