How is the noise level in the LSVW?
After years of having to shout to talk in the CMPs, some of which are noisier than others, I’ve gone over to a amour based intercom system with noise canceling mikes you can actually talk and hear at comfortable levels. The intercom is uses the PA part of the CB radio for internal conversation. Then you can switch over to use the CB or HF radios. Or listen to AM-FM tape radio. Still working on the system so that I can monitor all three radios at the same time.
Radio system is great when we are convoying like yesterday, 12 MVs driving along the highway in the rain at 35 mph. Makes road touring as a group a lot more fun.

Phil:
Lesson Plans are very similar to that which we teach.
Noise level in LSVW is moderate but some shouting is sometimes required. Different story for MLVW, which constitutes Week 2 of the course.
Intercom usage would be a bonus for in-cab comms, however it just can't be done on a random basis for the various courses. Agree, though, that intra-vehicle comms would be great not only for driver instruction but also packet/convoy control.
