Just purchased a new Bessacarr E435 his month and have been away this weekend for first time! This is our first motorhome and everything is a minefield to us at the moment, but one big issue we have at the moment is the very noisy habitation area when travelling. It is a constant creaking noise - prob the overhead lockers. Is this normal for a motorhome? And if so, is there any way of solving it?
It should not happen but is is common and can be hard to find the source and fix. It's worth letting the dealer know and see if they can try to fix it but don't hold out too much hope, Alan.
Will visit dealer as suggested and hopefully be able to resolve noise problem. We also thought we would go and test drive another Bessacarr to compare noise level.
We have a Bessacarr E480, new last September and aer very pleased with how quiet it is when travelling. Certainly it does rattle and creak on a bad potholed road, but you would expect that. It is so much quieter that our previous CI and even the Swift before that.
A lot has to do with the way that it is packed. Make liberal use of soft linings for items packed in cupboards and put a towel or tea cloth over the hob and the oven shelves and grill pan.
You must expect some rattles and creaks, if you can imagine that you are transporting your kitchen cupboards and sideboard over sometimes bumpy roads.

We have an e495 and it is very quiet when travelling. Packing can make a big difference to cupboards etc with weights etc. We now have it packed it such a way that we can go over speed bumps and not hear a single "clink" from the back.
Definateley no creaking noises though.

Have you checked the tyre pressures.
There are extensive discussions here about what pressure is most suitable, the consensus seems to be that the 5.5 bar or 80psi in old money which new motorhomes are usually delivered at can be way to high.
Have a read of the threads and happy motorhoming

Thanks to all your help and comments! Has proven to me that I have one big faulty motorhome! It creaks continuously, not just on rough roads. Have realised now that the creaking is actually coming from the overcab area joining the habitation area and it is so noisy. The actual habitation area is really quiet - generally no rattles or squeaks . Does a Manufacturers warranty cover this fault as we have bought it from new?
