Excuse my ignorance but what is a caper ten? I have a No 5 trailer.

I think he meant camper tent.... Thats how i read it anyway

Cheers

Picked it up and drove straight home from the Auctions on a permit. Passed a RWC that day no worries. She's a noisy old girl but seems to run really well:)

They are noisy for sure. Exactly zero soundproofing sees to that.

While some have added soundproofing and other insulation, I have taken a different path to prevent my ears from bleeding by the time I get to work each morning.

I have surgically combined a set of $20 PPE earmuffs with some $10 slimline, phone call compatible headphones. I detached the headphone speakers from their headband and hot glued them inside the earmuffs.

I now have tunes from my phone without having to max the volume.

This solution came about after I walked away from all the c. $300 ENC headphones, then briefly considered an aviation headset, dismissing this as still too expensive and also incompatible with my phone.

As a bonus, the numerous Perentie rattles and the drone of the Goodyear Hi-milers no longer bother me. :cool:

Fair point, however if you suffer from Perentie induced hearing loss, you won't be hearing those sirens anyway.

I SAID YOU WON'T ... Oh forget it.

These muffs only attenuate ambient noise by around 20dB. So you can still hear sirens.

:p

Haha...

True, I must have been cocooned in my latte mobile a little too long...;)

The key point they reduce the engine and road noise that previously stopped you hearing the ambos anyway :D

Glad you have great vision out of them. One of these days I will join in the fun....

RoboDouche..

Congrats on getting a Perentie..

Just curious..did yours come with all the log books?

Also how many kays and how much?

Must have been like driving a truck home haha!:p
