Anybody interested in noise in dB  I just did some testing inside my pod. Ambient noise in pod 38.5 dB, hot water heating on, 2 fans, 1 inline hot water pump 40.5 dB, regular propane furnace 68.5 dB.

I bet that would peg the meter. Cold there.

Interestingly, the furnace is noisy, here in south I have never used my furnace.

Today was first day I was able to mow the yard here in Charleston.  Been kind of wet.   In the GA mountains, Ive used the heater at night and AC during the day. The AC is really loud.
Happy Bobsledding.  I will winterize in a couple of months.

Happy Traveling,
Tom

A/C noise would be comparable to a jet engine

And here I thought we were the only pod owners without A/C.  Although we special ordered ours to come w/o it.  There have been 2 instances where it would have been nice to have a/c in the past 7+ years we have owned our 177.  In one case we were boondocking at a Walmart parking lot so it really became a non-issue, except for the fact that it was hot.
