Recently purchased a 40 feet length Motorhome coach Diesel pusher, is this back up alarm loud enough to over hear of the engine?

I believe so. We have it mounted on a jail transport van, and it is loud enough to warn pedestrians, but not so loud to wake up the neighborhood at night.

It probably is. I drive a Chevy Colorado and everyone can hear it except the people I want to hear it(people who run behind me whine I try to back out of a parking place). It should be loud enough to hear over your diesel engine. It is made for use in noisy factory situations. If it isn't loud enough, you might send it back to Amazon. I can't remember the loudness rating but factories are limited to 95 DBA by OSHA.

The vehicle we installed the one I bought on is a dodge cummins truck that has the floor at about neck height, it has straight 6" exhaust from the turbocharger and is very loud. This alarm can be heard loud and clear over all that obnoxiousness it should be great for your motorhome

the Powermate PM101207 is a 4 stroke ,and it has a moderate decibel level. I use it for my pickup camper and use a 25 ft cord and the noise levels are hardly noticeable

The alarm is loud. I have 2 floors 3bedrooms. Can hear it threw the house. Hope this helps

I have the motor in mine, I think it helps, but I have it mounted in my enclosed snowmobile trailer. It is not loud. The thermostat that is part of the fan helps out a lot I think that is my fav part of the fan.

Personally, I would say so. That was my original plan. But my state requires an SAE certified siren. I would check with that first.

I think it's a bit louder than a lawn mower but it's tough to say. Lawnmowers eventually get turned off. I had this thing running for three days so it can wear on your ears. When I first fired it up during hurricane Irene I opened my garage door a bit so that the exhaust would vent outside. It was mostly inside though. It is NOT waterproof so you have to figure something out - front porch, build and enclosure or something.

Alarm is reasonably loud, and it's intended to be placed remotely from the freezer. My freezer is in the basement. The alarm unit is on the refrigerator in the kitchen.

No. Its not very loud at all. The problem is the gauge is not accurate, and it seems they've known about the issue but haven't fixed it yet. It will also blow fuses if you're not careful.

This is just a siren, not an alarm system. When power is applied, it makes a loud noise. And when no power is applied, it is silent.

If once you lock the trailer there won't be any chance of it accidentally going off, I'd say this is a good application. The only thing that I think about is what I would do at home. I wouldn't leave it directly in front of my front door, as the mailman puts mail through the slot. I wouldn't want that to accidentally set off the alarm (it IS loud!). But if you have a good spot for it in your trailer, this should work.

I don't remember it being very loud; just very weak power. It will probably work OK for that purpose.

As an owner of it, I use it at work and over all the noise it still doesn't have to be full volume. On a boat that was going full speedier may be to much noise to overcome, however 15-20 feet inside wouldn't be a problem at all

I don't think you can make it louder. The only option would be to go with a borland exhaust but I think it is overkill or disconnect your exhaust all together, but that is illegal.

I've never let it run on since it is so loud, although I believe it will keep sounding until it is manually turned off, like a smoke alarm. This is easily done using the remote which works at quite a good distance.

It is loud. I have installed in a Hisun 700 UTV that has an ATV type battery.

I would think it would be to loud for that. I would say it's about like a motor on a garage door opener.

I believe it will work for you. You may find it gives false alarms if too near the motor, but if I were you, I would buy it.
