Professor, I'm lucky to live in an area with several PIY junk yards nearby with a few burned out RV's and to top it off, a few neighbors who are RV Master Tech's and one Industrial Electrician along with a former neighbor who works for his father's HVAC company. Between us, we might be able to bang heads hard enough to figure something out. Hardest part is findeing the Owens/Corning 2" Pink rigid insulation.
Again, A Million Thanks!
The 2" pink insulation board was overkill. Today I would build the enclosure you referenced using 1/2" thick James Hardy Concrete Backer board. Why? Well, you can cut it with a saw or knife (score), it is fire proof, water proof, rot proof, can be painted and it's high density makes an excellent sound abatement material. Use some aluminum angle to fasten the corners together.
Two more photos.... This is the very first sound abatement enclosure I ever made. I Isolated the carb intake and fan behind the recoil starter from the inside of the box. Same for the AVR end. It worked pretty good, but the exhaust fan was too small so I abandoned the box and built #2.
