Chirping noise

Hi All, I’ve got a fairly constant chirping/squeaking noise coming from the front end. It sounds like it’s on the drivers side front wheel. It is steady when driving. It doesn’t change tone or frequency that I can tell when braking or turning. Any thoughts on what this might be?

In a car that would be the disc brake low pad indicator but would stop when the brakes were applied. Not sure about a MH.

Brakes were my first thought as well. I’m in Columbus at the moment and have been trying to find a Ford dealership to look at it. Most wont touch a 36 foot rig and the two that do are booked for a week.

Get a grease gun look for the grease point on the driver side front end that's what happened to me the first year I bought my RV in 2016 it wasn't my brakes

What was it? I have a 2016 and it’s been driving me crazy for 2 years! Had it fully greased last week and noise still there.

Sounds like it’s somewhere to the right of the steering column.

Try taking off the center cap that covers the lug nuts and hub. Mine made noise had to buy plastic spaces to place between the cover and the rim.
