Wind Noise in new Suncruiser 37f?

jrpend · 04-22-2015, 09:29 AM

Driving around in the Suncruiser on the freeway (60-65mph), we noted that there seems to be a lot of wind noise when we are at speed.

Some of it comes from the drivers door, which is in need of adjustment, but there seemed to be a lot of noise from the passenger side as well.

I know these things aren't as quiet as a DP, and I expected engine noise, but the noise seemed to be louder than my old Southwind (which was old and creaky).

I'm wondering if other Suncruisers out there experience a lot of wind noise?

Thanks,
Jerald

I've read where window drains cause alot of noise. To test, most use tape and go over the drains, then out for a test drive to see if the noise is still present. I also know there are plastic clips that fit into the window drains for a more permanent fix.
Tape will be your friend for identifying the noisiest areas. Tape the door seams off and go for a ride to determine if the door is a problem.
Good luck, trial and error will solve this for you.

As Lt46 mentioned, I also have heard of numerous cases where the window drain clips are missing. It happened with my sister on her new MH. Dealer will give you the clips.

Window drain hole covers:

I had the same problem with wind noise. It was a missing window weep hole cover. Installed a replacement weep hole cover and the wind noise was gone.

As a followup - We took the rig out with a bunch tape on the door and the "weep" holes.

Yep - that was the ticket. I now need to find a bunch of weep hole covers (at least 6) and we will take it from there.

Many thanks for the advice.

I think Winnebago has a problem, My 27N has leaked air since new and dealer tried a cheapo silicone fix (3 times). I made them call the factory and approve a window reset. Also saw a 30 at a campground and the owner said his cracked just sitting at the site (no jacks )

I also had to re-seal the door. I've got an appointment for some warranty work to re-seal the drivers door - you could see light through it.

As an interium measure I put some of that one sided sticky foam (used for sealing windows) on the door.
