    Last fall, on a two week trip in our new 2015 Bounder, 35K, we were staying at a RV park in Bryce Canyon, Utah.  Around 2:00 AM in the morning, there was a very loud "Bang," that shook the coach and woke everyone up.  I switched on the lights, grabbed a flashlight and ran outside, thinking someone had run into our coach.  Saw no damage, or change in the electronics.  Everything was still working.

    It just happened again.  We are attending the FMA Rally in Perry, GA.  On Thursday afternoon, I was on my computer and my wife and dog were napping in the bedroom.  Again, a very loud bang and shaking of the coach happen.  Wife a dog were wakened suddenly.  I ran outside expecting to see some crazy golf cart driver had hit the coach, as we are parked where the nuts driving these things fly buy, at high speed, some of these things really zoom along.  Yet, saw no damage or a messed up cart tangled up with the aft end of the coach.  I did ask around here with all the high powered people showing there new coaches at the rally, but they just shrug their shoulders and say, "that is interesting."  Then they walk away.

    Any ideas, or do I need to find a priest to perform some ritual to cleans my coach of a demon? .

    You might have a rear hydraulic leveler jack that is releasing a bit of pressure suddenly... I had that happen to our Expedition early one morning, when I had parked at a slight uphill slope and the read wheels where lifted of the ground which is a no-no in these heavy rear diesels.  Same symptoms as you described...

    We are also in Perry, for our first time, and having a great time.

    Garret:

    Thank you for your remarks.  I think you may have hit it on the head.
