Quiet Ride Quieter

Alpines have a quiet ride, so in an effort to reduce engine noise even further, we installed latches to the sliding bedroom door and pocket door between the kitchen and bathroom area. With the doors closed while driving, the results is a nice hum from the engine, just enough to keep you informed during a drive.

That looks like a nice piece of hardware. It doesn't rattle, right?

No rattle. Just enough tension to hold things secure.
