20 foot car hauler which will never haul a car.
The plan is to manage the sound levels and throw a microphone inside it and record.
Plywood, rockwool, Noico (instead of Dynamat), mass loaded vinyl, tow vehicles, GVW numbers and chickens have already been involved. Mini-split A/C and RV electrical systems are in my future.
