Why would that be?
My Itasca gasser is so quiet that people phoning me don’t know I’m driving, they think I’m sitting at home. The wind noise is by far the loudest background noise, and it’s so muffled people can’t tell I’m going down the road at 65mph.
Lumping all vehicles together is not just wrong, it’s silly. A base level pick up and a Caddy are both gassers, do you really think they ride the same and gave the same interior noise level?

where all gassers are noisy is when your driving up steeper mountain passes at 3/4 to full throttle and your down in 2 nd gear area

X2 - My wife and I have no problem conversing at normal levels while underway. Our V-10 does get louder pulling a steep grade, but it's still not loud enough to need any sort of "other form of communication". About the only time we might speak up a bit is when the radio is playing a favorite song and one of us cranked the volume up.

Mine rarely comes out of 5th gear and I’m not sure I can ever remember a time when it dropped back into 3rd gear let alone 2nd.
Mind you I rarely climb hills steeper than 6% so it’s not a huge problem. Just hit the bottom a tad faster and stay on it. No problem at all.

no idea what size yours is or weight of toad etc but (example) 35 ft 3 slide gasser with toad going up a 6 % grade like mammoth you will be in 3rd or 2nd gear at about 35MPH that I guarantee or the grapevine out of La in California same thing
theres not a gas MH alive that go up mamouth mt in 5 th gear or 4th for that matter

I believe this one has run it's course.
There are 24 hours in every day - it all depends on how you choose to use them.
