Thinking of "Full Time" with your help
Hello folks. This is my first post so be gentle... I’ve read many posts on different forums on a great deal of issues and hope I’ve learned enough to not ask too many dumb questions. Now there ...

Not a full-timer but here's my two bits. My previous 40' diesel was not a tag and it drove very well, meeting semi's on the highway with no swaying. Gusty winds hitting us sidelong did move us around. I find it's less of an issue with the tag, which works for me here in the windy Prairie.
Next, you asked about soundproofing. Regardless of insulation, there are still many poor sound barriers in an RV: slide edges, ceiling fans, skylights, heck, even the windshield. RV neighbors might be several feet closer than they would be to your house, and they hang out outdoors instead of inside. In an RV you're exposed -- you're up on tires, not anchored to the earth, and there's no attic above the ceiling to deaden some of the noise when it rains. It takes a little getting used to. A campground adjacent to a railroad track is a special experience. :B
Enjoy planning!
