Sorry guys, I was unclear. Yes, I'm talking about the air blowing out of what sounds like the generator area after that big remote fan sucks it in and uses it to cool the engine.
The air movement itself is a bit of a concern, and I will try a mat under there first to see if I can calm it down. The ultimate test will be the salt flats in Nevada at Burning Man next month, so I'll report back how that goes. (Yes, I have taken my previous coach to Burning Man. It made it through just fine with some care and precaution ahead of time!)
(I do have the ceiling exhaust option in my coach, although that exhaust runs up through the rear wardrobe, and we want to turn that wardrobe into a bed for our daughter. So we are going to revert the exhaust to the ground, presumably adjacent to the AH exhaust out the back.)
But aside from the dust, I feel like 90% of the noise outside is fan/air movement. I'm trying to figure out how Marathon gets their genset to be so quiet. Maybe they put the blower/output up on the roof or something to get it out of earshot?
