[mdecastra]

Any ideas on what and where to get material to reduce engine noise (around dog house) in my Class A.

I used this from HD. I bonded this to the original layer with Weldwood contact ahesive. It was cheap and reduced the heat and sound greatly. You can spend a lot of money for Dynamat, Acousticore, and other products but the jute felt and Al barrier works good for what it costs. For sound deadening the best product is .050 lead sht that it bonded to the inside of the dog house(you mentioned sound proofing in your original post and not heat reduction).

Sheet of Galvanised Steel between the Fibreglas Dog House Cover and the hole above the Engine,along with some Insulation will work wonders!

Boom Mat from DEI is one of the better ones I've seen.

DYNAMAT-DYNAMAT-DYNAMAT----ITS THE BEST THING AROUND I DID ALL THE UNDERSIDE OF MY DOGHOUSE AND FLOORBOARDS,IT CUT THE NOISE TO ALL MOST ZERRO AND KEPT THE HEAT AT A WARM TOUCH.ITS THE BEST. WHEN YOU INSTALL IT USE A TENNIS BALL TO WORK IT IN THE CORNERS AND CURVES,CAUSE YOU CANT USE A ROLLER ALL OVER.

Off Highway (mine haul trucks)cab builders could help you. Many off road truck cabs are lined with a rubber backed lead product that cuts waay back on the external noises.

its going to be difficult to get rid of all noise, unless you move the engine to the back

When I had my gasser I use a blanket from Summit Racing..it stuck right on the back of the cover and the outer side was coated to make it heat proof...It did help but did not eliminate it entirely.

This is what I use on all vehicle that need it. I have the 3/8 or 1/2 one on the dog house.
