rubbing/vibration noise

I noticed the other day after pulling my travel trailer, at higher rpms a vibration/rubbing sound from the engine area. I looked over everything and cannot find anything loose or any signs of rubbing. Any thoughts?

have you checked your entire exhaust system? i found the other day that my down pipe had worked loose from the turbo and the clamp was half way on and at high rpms it was rattling like marbles in a wooden box.

Yep. And I did find that clamp loose awhile back and it is still tight.

Engine and transmission mounts good? Check the fan shroud for signs of rubbing. WAG

My Downpipe shifted back at some point and was hitting the firewall occasionally, (turning corners etc.) BIG HAMMER and a crow bar...
