My wife is a classic pianist with a 4 year degree in performing arts. I'm an old rock and roller who used to dance to all the big bands at Mission Beach Ballroom in San Diego before Elvis appeared. Based on the Seinfeld episode I have named her "The Music Nazi" and she agrees. I can't listen to my music while we travel because it drives her crazy. I just got a set of the new electronic head phones and she has agreed to try them because she can filter out the noise electronically. If this works you will know when you are behind me by the way the windows vibrate like the cones on speakers. (Robert)

Here is another little story, if you chose to use it. Our daughter, son-in-law (SIL) and grandchildren enjoyed a camping trip in their motor-home at a remote campground. When my SIL got ready to leave he started the engine and a very loud noise was accompanied by a "light show" from every trouble light on the dash board. A brief look in the engine compartment revealed that a squirrel had gotten caught in the serpentine engine belt and, to put it delicately, squirrel DNA was everywhere and the belt was off of its pulleys disabling the the MH. It was over 50 miles to the nearest garage. Being acutely aware of this situation I periodically checked my engine compartment while camping, yelling & banging around with something metallic to frighten away any critters and was especially diligent when preparing to start up the engine and hit the road. One day, while staying at one of our favorite camping places next to the lake at Tyler, TX State Park, I was going through my routine with head buried in the engine compartment, yelling and banging and I spotted a piece of loose insulation (or so I thought) and attempted to push it back in place. In reality it was the rear end of a Raccoon. Startled, we both rapidly retreated from the engine compartment, leaving hair and hide behind on the sharp corners of metal components Does anyone know of some product I can spray under the coach? I don't have any head hair to spare and the skin damage seems to take a long time to heal.(Robert)
