Sound deadening
Hello all.. New to class C. Used to pull 30 ft trailer with diesel VW. I am having a hard time getting used to the noise level of the 2016 Forrest River Sunseeker MBS 2400R. It is built rather well...

MichMoose....on my E-450 I increased the insulation in the engine dog house, I removed all the carpeting in the cab and put Dynamat down as well as new carpet, I took the door panels off and placed Dynamat in the door panels, I took the A piller cover down and filled that area with fiberglass insulation. i reduced the cab noise level by 48%, I did not have a cab over bunk so that helps some. It was well worth the $400 I spent on materials, you can get kits made up just for the E series cabs. best of luck.
Yes.. good ideas if you have a FORD or CHEBBY cab chassis. Little has changed in their design since my FiL's '70s something Coachman Leprechaun. You could slow cook a side of beef in the passenger's foot well. The 'dog house' was as leaky as a sieve with heat coming out everywhere around the base. But, the 'kennel's' cup holders were always hot enough to keep your coffee warm ... even on cold days. The HVAC sucked & the MiL needed an accessary fan in the co-pilot's position to survive.
Fortunately, Sir 'Moose has a Benz Sprinter. It doesn't have a dog kennel and the HVAC is suburb.... if a bit complicated.
He doesn't need to mess with MacGuyvering the doors, hood, etc., the Boyz from Stuttgart have taken care of all that up front.
