As mentioned, check / replace the door gaskets. The 'dollar bill/ sheet of paper method' works, but is slow. Open door, place bill across gasket. Close door while holding bill in place, withdraw bill. You should feel some tension as it comes out. Repeat around door.
Check the doghouse gasket. Be sure it's intact and is seated correctly, with no carpet fibers trapped in the closure.
Check all the cable & control penetrations thru the firewall. Make sure their gaskets / grommets are in place.
Also check & seal all floor cuts that the RV maker made for plumbing, vents, & wiring.
Spray undercoating will help a very little, mostly in the front wheelwells. If your B has a cut-out in the floor with a dropped plastic / f'glass insert like a Roadtrek, the underside of that may also benefit from undercoating.
When you replace tires, select a non-aggressive pattern, tho' this will limit your off-pavement traction.
I doubt you'll ever make it as quiet as even a low-cost newer sedan, but good luck with it.
