Front Control v. Pusher

[davidkerryedwards]

My FC is quieter than the gas engined Travco I drove previously. No
problem carrying on a conversation going down the road. However,
especially with the windows open, it is louder than a pusher. Not
loud enough to bother me however. I do like the fact that any change
in engine sound that might indicate a problem can be heard by the
driver in an FC. This is not always the case with a pusher.
Look for an FC with a swing out radiator. It makes working on the
front of the engine much easier. With an air wrench, the mechanic who
repaired the idler pulley on my FC a few weeks ago, had the front
completely open and the engine accessible within 10 minutes.
