I have heard of this before , I think their fix was to have one climb under the van while the second walkes around untill you pinpoint the creaking section. I believe a small timber wedge or two was then fitted between the floor & the chassis &/or crossmembers in that section.

A more common reason for the floor creaking than chassis support is furniture not being secured securely to the floor. I was shown this to be the case in my van. The cure is to tighten the existing screws and add extra screws.

We had the same problem in our Regent, I layed under the van while it was on stands and ran "Sikaflex" around both sides of all the chassis framing that came in contact with the floor, this was done 12 years ago and since it was done we never had any more squeaks while walking on the floor.
I even removed the water tank so no section was missed.

It took a while but well worth the effort.
do you want to come and do mine, Mrs W will not get under the van, I will never understand women ()

I will be interested to follow this thread. We also have a developed a creaking, just forward of the front axle. The only difference is that it is driving Mr D mad. Me, I just ignore it. Mr D has done the sikalfex thing, but still creaking. Maybe more attention is required along these lines.
