Only had fiat Ducato based motorhomes, and the new X250 automatic drives really well, compared with older models. Can just about have a normal conversation whilst traveling, but find we creep the radio volume up so its too loud when we stop and turn the engine off.
Suspension still a bit harsh at times, so a few rattles from the back cupboards.
I'm very happy with my current van on the noise front. Hymer B504 A Class on Fiat Ducato/Alko chassis. No problems except a small creak from somewhere between the wardrobe wall and the rear garage wall. To be sorted when I get around tuit.
Noisiest van I ever 'ad - Autosleeper Nuevo on Peugeot Boxer, dreadful thing creaked, groaned and rattled in so many places. Each time you fixed one, another would pop up somewhere else. Drove me to despair
Of the various motorhomes we have had, 1996 Swift Royale 635 VWLT35, Autocruise Stardream Fiat Ducato 2005,Fleurette on Ducato 2007(new shape),Autocruise Mustang 2004 Iveco.1972 Commer highwayman.
Well one must also take into account the tyres and the conversion, so far the quietest has been the Fleurette on the new ducato by a mile.the most comfortable as well.
However the 3 rear wheel drives were smoother drive.
Certain road surfaces are also a factor.
I would expect newer vans to be better insulated from noise in the cab than older models. I have just put carpet and underlay in the cab area of my old Boxer and we can now hear each other without shouting. A very worthwhile improvement.
Has anyone noticed in general how much quieter French roads are than British ones?
