Bob and Chris had one good idea, some of us can turn off our hearing aids also. Personally I have always enjoyed listening to the rain fall on the roof, especially when it was bedtime. Though a downpour can be a bit much to some. That is the time I turn off the aid and put the good ear to the pillow. Another thought, most RVs have some kind of lining on the ceiling like a short pile capeting. If you don't already have that type of material adding it or something thicker may help. Just a possible idea. Dave W. I see where "Norma Desmond" <ND@ND.com> contributed: > other than building a carport type structure, any ideas? >thanks. Ear plugs. Attitude adjustment. Park in cave. Will Sill The Curmudgeon of Sill Hill If there are air conditioners or other high points on the roof like open vents, one could throw a lightweight tarp over them; the tent-like cover would probably greatly decrease droplet impact noise. Dave while I agree, particularly your second suggestion, this info is not for me. > I see where "Norma Desmond" <ND@ND.com> contributed: > > other than building a carport type structure, any ideas?

It doesn't make any difference who it is for, it's still valid. There is no practical way to do what you asked, except keep the rig out of the rain. You, or whoever the information is for, can do that most of the time by only going where it doesn't rain. Or, wear earplugs, or, second suggestion. :-) Signature"Everyday I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I have stayed alive." http://www.bobhatch.com > other than building a carport type structure, any ideas? > thanks. Same way you handle strange noise from vehicle engine. Turn up the music system very loud:-)) Lou (Who once sat in a car for 40 minutes in what turned out to be a 100 year rain - too loud to hear the radio) Another noisemaker that works for us: the fan on the A/C. Ours is pretty loud and works for most noises, though a heavy rain will win out. Charlie http://ChanginGears.com > other than building a carport type structure, any ideas? > thanks. Crawl in the sack and sleep like a Baby...... I love the rain while in the RV. LFW >> other than building a carport type structure, any ideas? >> thanks.
