Tinny sound when walking in RV.

We have tried to tighten bolts under our rig but the sound is getting worse. We are not sure we found all the bolts. Does anyone have a diagram or any other help for tightening these. We have a 2006 MB.

 As far sa bolt patterns go they are symmetrical. If you see one on one side of the frame it's just opposite on the other.
 However are you sure it's bolts?  A further description of the noise might be helpful. For example if when I walk in my 06 30 footer I here a tinny sound and it persists a bit after I stop moving. It really starts when the movement is side to side. Found it in my propane tank. The float inside is resonating in the tank.

My 06 MB has always done that, since day 1.  Usually when walking down the aisle by the bathroom door.  I never worried about it, but it has never gotten worse.

The bottom of your LD is covered in sheet metal and attached  with hundreds of sheet  meta screws. The screws can loosen and cause all sorts of noises. The solution is to tighten the screws.

Our 2006 MB has the same thing. According to the mother ship, the source is a sheet metal heat shield located over the rear axle where the exhaust passes over the axle, close to the coach floor. It shields the floor from the exhaust heat. The "fix" is to crawl under the coach and bend the lip of the heat shield away from the coach floor. This did help the situation but we still occasionally experience it, most notably when we have had to block both the front and rear wheels, on the same side of the coach when leveling side to side. The sound occurs, in front of the bathroom door, when walking between the front and rear of the coach.
