We hear a high-pitched whine when the furnace kicks on. We think it's the furnace fan. Could it be anything else?

So since ours is a 2000 Itasca, our rubber roof is probably a replacement. Our roof would have been fiberglass to begin with.

Yeah, that sounds like our steps. We may get a chance this weekend to check underneath to confirm. It's a shame, because we want to keep the steps from scraping the ground at the gas station.
