I was quite surprised to find out how extremely loud the RV got traveling down the road, particularly once speeds exceeded 45-50 mph. Could not hear the radio and could barely have a conversation with my wife.

Using an app on my iphone, I determined that I was averaging 95db at 65 mph. This is loud enough to cause hearing damage. I ended up driving with earplugs just to make things bearable and safe.
I searched the forums, found that this is a common complaint and found several solutions. I went ahead and ordered some Dynamat from Amazon.

Arrived yesterday, installed today. Just waiting for the chance to get on the highway and take some new measurements and will report back at that time.

Thank you.
