Making an rv furnace quieter
Every rv furnace we have ever had was noisy. Has anyone done something to quiet there furnace. I have considered trying to wrap the blower area in insulation. Anyone had any luck?

I came up with a great solution. The furnace is now dead quiet... :)
I installed 3 permanent recessed electric heaters, one in bedroom, one in bathroom and one in kitchen/living area totaling 2KW. Very quiet.
Made my own demand controller that disconnects the heaters while an appliance(s) is running which draw current above a preset level (we are 30 amps). Works like a charm and has to be my favorite mod.
RV furnaces are dang loud. Don't miss it at all! I don't think there's anything that can be done. Need to follow manufacturers spec for clearances, air flow, etc. for safety reasons.
