I agree with Michael. Our '82 doesn't rattle at all front or rear.
Start with the tires, what is the date code. This may a sign that one is coming apart. They could be badly out of balance or a bent rim.
It could also be from the driveshaft! Before taking our '82 on the road I took a look at the underside and the drivetrain. I found that the bolts had worked loose and 2 were not there! The driveshaft is fairly short.
BLOCK THE COACH BEFORE GOING UNDER IT!!
If the rattles are from a vibration, the vibration could be from numerous other parts of the drivetrain but I would start with the easy stuff first. You could also just look at another coach.
