Noise Level

We have a bighorn and were very suprised at the excessive noise level during a moderate to heavy rain. The noise is so great that you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice. Hope this is not just our rig?

The roof noise is a problem with all RVs. the Styrofoam used to insulate the roof does not offer much reduction to sound, because it is a solid medium and sound travels very well in solids. To reduce the noise level, there would need to be an empty air area, like the attic in a house, without that the falling rain can be clearly heard.

We have gotten use to the sound and it actually puts me to sleep. the real surprise is the pop from a pine cone or small branch falling on roof, that well get your attention.

Falling acorns in the wee hours will get your attention, too.

We thought the roof was great, so much quieter than our previous trailers.
