2015 Cyclone CY3010 - Have noticed lately the fuel tank popping as cool mornings turn into hot days and again in the evening as it cools off. I can't recall hearing this before now and we spend almost every weekend in the RV. Is there a vent that I need to check or where would I start looking?

I've found that I can relieve some pressure buildup in both gas tanks with the cap positioning. I stumbled across this after I had completely topped of the tanks, then set boondock camp. One afternoon we smelled gas in the garage after returning from an offroading adventure. In the 90+° weather, the gas was coming out the tank vent and dripping underneath the garage.
I screwed both caps on until they clicked tight, then backed off that ~3/4 turn to where they became taunt, and left them there. It relieved the pressure buildup on thise gas tanks after doing so....worth a try @ no cost.

Are you sure it's the fuel tank? The auto level system can 'creak/pop' and it's most noticeable during the morning hours when temps rise, and evening when temps cool.... I hear the popping noise coming from near the auto level jacks.
Mine didn't start popping for a few years after it was new. It's not an uncommon problem. If you find that it's not your fuel tank and could be your leveling rams, there is a fix put out by LCI. Basically adding one quart of their approved fork oil to the Hydraulic tank. Sorry if this ain't your problem.
