Scott, on the newer 80's coaches, there was a sound deadening material
already installed. Unless you have wood up front and someone has not removed it-
the material should be there.

I am still trying to quite my generator as much as possible. Has
anyone tried adding a sound-deadening mat under the carpet and did you
get good results? If so, what did you use? I am running out of ideas
for working inside the gen compartment, figured this might be another
option.

Scott contact John Finn. He'll direct you to some parts of his site where
he's docuemented his whole sound deadening process

Hello Scott,
We installed an enclosed/fan cooled generator in our coach and then replaced the
decaying foam insulation with new 1" thick sound insulation material on the
interior of the
generator compartment. Also installed a new pancake style muffler on the
generator
exhaust. We still hear a low roar when the generator is on but we can sleep
with it on
without a problem.

I'm new to all of this and recently purchased an 83FC 35. I want to replace
insolation in
dog house and generator compartment. I was reading a thread last night about
lead/
fibreglss material that was used by one of the members. His report was that it
was very
effective.
I hope to learn more before I choose the wrong stuff.

I did my dog/cat house about 6k miles ago with a combination of foil/bubble
house insulation and duct liner used by the HVAC guys. Total cost was about
$20. There is no heat radiating through the insulation on my (driver side)
or my wifes side even after 10-12 hours of driving. If you want more info I
will get it for you. Brad Bloxham 78FC 35' 3208NA
