was driving home yesterday and heard a strange flapping sound top engine up with oil check everything over and everthing seems fine thought it was the fan belt but that was ok. anything i should be worried about???

Check your tyres. May be a blister or delamination Or Evan a bit of something stuck to a tyre... Hope its not to serious.

seems to have gone today but really need to get her check over properly to check shhe is ok.
got loads of questions to ask at vanfest lol
if any one free to give her a look over for me lol

I had something like this on the Mustard Pot once, it turned out to be the plate below the floor that autohomes fit that stops the wind going up the gas locker drop out, it's just a flap of aluminium - one of the screws had rusted out and it was flapping - took ages to find it though. There's quite a few bits underneath on a factory camper they can all work loose.

Have you checked the mudflaps are on tight?

I sh@t it when I'd first got my van and had the flapping terror noise of doom - got worse and worse, looked at everything I could think of (which isn't a huge amount I know). Then when my mum opened passenger window and listened she said it was mudflap. Tightened screw and fitted the clampy bit and all happy and quiet again.

Just an idea from experience! Good luck!

HAD THIS NOISE HAPPEN TO ME ONCE AS WELL.
THE THING I NOTICED WAS THE FASTER I WENT THE MORE THE FLAPPY SOUND WAS HEARD.
ALL I CAN ADVISE IS DONT DRIVE OFF SITE WITH DRIVEAWAY AWNING STILL ATTACHED

I drove off with my pop-top up after first ever camping in my old bay - then in panic closed it without checking what had fallen down side - bit of wood caused a SPROING noise as a popped one of the hinges...

Worked fine for next 3 months to and from morocco but was well wonky when down.
