I can comment on riding in the back. I've let a few others drive while I lounged in bed. Very quiet mine is (that's my Yoda immitation). I've only got a single axle tho. The air ride is great back there too. It doesn't sway around anything like my Allegro A did. My wife used to have to take Dramamine in that rig to keep from getting woozy. She doesn't take anything in the t/c and hasn't ever gotten woozy (except when she's taken too much beir). I don't hear any gear/axle noise at all in my bedroom. I did test drive a t/c before buying my truck and it had tandems. My mechanic buddy rode along and he went in back and came up and told me it was very loud gear/axle noise. He doesn't work on trucks so he didn't know if that was a normal noise or this truck was having issues. Mine has steel leaf springs on the front axle.
