There are weep hole covers (or supposed to be). Do you see/ have them? That’s likely the source of the wind noise if they are missing.

I typed in the word “weep” in the forum’s search bar, and this post came up...

I got mine on Amazon and have started putting a silicone adhesive on the edges of the covers to try to keep them in place.
In 3-years of ownership I’ve lost three.

Since many come sole as a two-pack and I need three for the left side, I found these to be a reasonable price (3.25 each) as shipping is free:

They also sell right side

My 2013 Winnebago SunStar did not have a single weep hole cover when I bought it second hand. I used black electricians tape and covered each hole. Not a peep out of them after that.

That’s a good quick fix, on a trip to stop the annoying noise, but it should never supplant replacing them with the intended weep hole covers.
They’re there for a reason, to allow water to get out, and stop wind, from getting in. If you block them, you solve the wind/noise issue, but create a new one, WATER...the detriment of any coach..l

I bought several from Lichtsinn RV earlier this year, I think they were around $1.90 if my memory is right.

I contacted LichtsInn RV and their current price for the weep hole covers for our 2013 Vista 30T were $6.15 each, plus $10 shipping! I called my local Winnie dealer (LaMesa RV) and got them for $2.00 each and picked them up the next day.

That's the funny thing about what we are taught in school about how free enterprise works, isn't it?
Cost of the product and labor plus just a little for "reasonable profit" sets the price?
Unless you operate a business where you see you can make a much bigger profit!
We all complain about the current price of gas for the RV but at the same time oil companies are reporting record profits. Wonder how that happens?
