We travel in a group of 3 trucks with Barouds, and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on quietening the trucks
suspension while being intimate? It's just part of camping, I get that, just thought I'd put it out there and take any advice!

Do what I did...
...take a vow of chastity!
We spent seven months travelling around Oz in our UEV 490 with our two boys. I can tell you now there was never going to be a hope in hell of a "natural increase".
Even when we did get a hotel - their idea of "we'd like a bit of privacy!" didn't quite translate. I never knew you could get a family hotel room with a queen and three singles in the same room.
Seriously though, if your hormones are that excited - park away from one another. It's a big country. Or practise "sniper sex". See who can be the quietest without being detected.
Oh to have such a problem!!!!
Cheers
Anthony

There is a product on the market designed for your problem. It's basically like a vertical drop down leg on a camper (stabilizer legs), its free standing, you just adjust to the hight to the chassis at the rear on both sides and it stops all the rocking and rolling.

I've got the vertical leg bit sorted, but
mine goes up it doesn't drop down.
while the height of the chasis could do with some lifting (
the springs are getting a bit saggy with age) I'm not too sure about stopping the rocking and rolling, you don't want too stiff a ride LOL?
Cheers

I saw this product on a aussie
forum couple a years back, a aussie fella made 2 up for the purpose you want for him self, it worked
well and he start manufacturing them for sale. From memory it cost around $60-$80 a pair.

Ah Tang, a disturbing phenomenon of the vehicle's
suspension, but not without some resolution.
The vehicle
suspension will exhibit a characteristic of oscillation when subjected to a stimulus and this oscillation will continue at a fundamental frequency whilst the stimulus is maintained. Shock absorbers attempt to damp this oscillation but are not so effective at smaller excursions.
The 18th century adventurer and legendary lover, Giacomo Casanova, observed the phenomenon of undamped oscillation of carriages which of course had no dampening and developed a technique of amorous behaviour which diminished the display of passion. Casanova found that by thrusting at a frequency other than a harmonic of the vehicle's characteristic vibrational mode the rocking could be diminished, and with skill, entirely eliminated. The technique became known as 'coitus interventu' (not to be confused with 'coitus interruptus') and seemed to serve Giacomo's aspirations
well.
The only danger with the technique is that of applying a stimulus which is a harmonic of the vehicle's characteristic and producing violent, even destructive, vibrational reaction.
So there you have one solution, although
John's 'Bonking Bars' above may be easier to master although requiring some degree of pre-event planning and a somewhat obvious intention!
Incidentally, I experienced a similar behaviour in my waterbed of the seventies. The reaction was however of a standing wave with a vertical component which could be quite disconcerting, or even enhancing if
well-managed. Ahh, those seventies!

I am thinking interrupting foreplay to whip down the ladder to fit the Bonking Bars is going to be a mood killer hahaha
BTW those waterbeds were pretty good aye Al ;))

You might have to start sniffing around a few garage sales to see if you can find one
Spice up the marriage a bit hahaha
Could be a good addition to your camping setup....... Bedding and
water supply in one. What a great space saving idea...... Reckon I am onto something here :)

Bloody brilliant post
Reminds me of the time I went up to the mates camper trailer with a grease gun in my hand one morning ....making sure his wife was watching me ...laid down under their trailer and proceeded to make a great show of greasing it thoroughly
she looked puzzled and fell for the trap..."why are you doing that to our trailer?"...she asks
Innocently I said loudly for all to hear..."cant stand the noise of you two going for it last night while we try and sleep......
Red as she went....total silence prevailed.....and the mate called me for everything after that...reckoned he never scored again for the rest of the trip !
best part was that their camper trailer had never made a noise at all and it was pure luck that they must have been enjoying themselves that night before and I got lucky picking the morning to have my fun
we still laugh about it years later......
well my wife and I do....they still dont

Hi all, LOVE all the comments on this one! We had a RTT for a trip to
Pilbara, lasted 1 nite- went from PHedland to Karanjini for a couple of nites to see gorges etc... got that freezing cold in tent, secondly as existing tent mat when trialled was not that good- we had added an inflatable for comfort. had great fun trying to fit into tent , inflatable went down by 3 am, we were pushed into the sag and one other anyrate - even if we didn't have any carnal desires! result was one very uncomfortable sleepless nite. drove to
Newman stayed in a cabin for 2nd nite . still, we laugh about it now.
as they say- don't come knocking when the vans rocking.
MG and missus.

Surprised that you found it cold.
I have been in my RTT with the roof sagging from the weight of the snow and been in the deserts where our water supplies have all frozen and never felt cold in bed.
Inflatable mattresses will make it cold as you have no insulation under you but the self inflating ones insulate
well

I second Alby's comment. Had a RTT, the mattress was a tad thin, so put a self inflator over it. Comfy as, and never had a cold night. Good sleeping bag helps....
