I don't normally disagree with Doug but my research indicates that you can use fiberglass insulation for the boiler.
My Dometic 2807 does indeed use fiberglass insulation on the boiler.
What temperature does fiberglass melt at?
Fiberglass cloth retains approximately 50 percent of room temperature tensile strength at 700 F (371 C); approximately 25 percent at 900 F (482 C); with a softening point of 1555 F (846 C) and a melting point of 2075 F (1121 C).

After research to verify what you posted, I now realize how safe and durable Fiberglass insulation is in regards to flame and a Heat source. Doug
