I agree about the noise. I'm sure there have been improvements in insulation since 1999. But I wonder how that might compare with running a diesel generator to run AC going down the road. Is it noisy?
Think about where you will be going with your coach. I've heard all of the BS from DP owners, and I have had DP's myself, and the amount of time that you will actually be in a steep climb MIGHT total 1% of the time you are on the road.
