Noise and vibration from Air-X

Sorry for the long silence...

We live near the coast in California and often camp close to the beach, so we do experience significant wind speeds.  We also camp in Death Valley in winter, when we usually experience good steady winds.  In both of these locations the wind is often good at night, hence my concern about noise and vibration that might keep us awake.
I already have 440 watts of solar panels on the roof.  The days when the sun is hidden behind clouds are usually the days when we have plenty of wind, so an Air-X seems like the perfect complement to the solar panels.
I was wndering if some sort of rubber mounting on the hitch, plus a few guy lines to the ground might reduce the transmiited vibration to acceptable levels.

While a rubber mount will reduce some of the vibration from the windmill, the question is will it be enough for you. I do not think so. At least, I can tell you it would not be enough for me.  Windmills are bad enough when mounted on a wood framed house. Your motor home is either a wood or metal framed house on an all steel foundation. Your trailer hitch is mounted to the steel foundation. I think it will be like getting a cabin next to the engine room on an all steel ship.

Paul Gipe is one of the wind gurus here in Calif. His site is

Under the small turbine link, you will find a couple of articles on the AirX noise levels and energy production.  

For further reading, I have found all of Paul’s books to be excellent, but his “Wind Energy Basics” I would specifically recommend as a real good primer on wind power. It is often available at local libraries.
