Squeak

Our brand new hurricane 35 m has a squeak you here an the inside like metal rubbing together.on the outside my wife says it’s much louder coming from the rear.it made the noise on the way home from the dealer empty so I know it’s not cargo.has anyone else encountered this or similar?I would rather fix it myself as we all know what a pain taking a unit back is. Thanks greg

Year of the coach??
Lots of moving parts on the rear axle, anti-sway bar bushings might be the culprit.

I guess it depends on the chassis.

Use Teflon based spray on all the bushings. Do not use a petroleum based spray such as WD40. Also check all bolts while under there. I had a Ford F-350 dually that had chrome wheel covers. If the fake caps/nuts aren’t torqued evenly it made a metal grinding sound when cornering. I guess if you hear that noise while at a standstill it won’t be the wheels.
