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?

In a living room of a trailer the blower is usually very close. In a small box of trailer the sound of blower reverberates from the walls and also transmitted through the vibration of the wall where this evil machine is sitting, and through the floor too. Maybe in a 5-er in a bedroom it will be quieter because you are on a different "floor" and are sheltered by interior wall. Cycling in the night is most annoying, worse than a steady noise.
On hookups I would use fan-less electric convection heater like a small baseboard heater or electric fireplace. On offgrid - propane heater, with one CO detector in living room and another one added in bedroom, with windows and/or vents slightly open as per instructions. In warmer climates you can often avoid running heater (or furnace) in the night, it's only needed from sunset to bedtime, and another hour in the morning. Get a good warm duvet.
