What did you do to your Class A MH today???
This is always a fun thread to watch, so I thought I would start one here.

OK Last week I did all the maintance and waxing as posted. This week my 50' roll of B-Quite sound deadening/heat sheild material came in. So my goal was to sound proof the whole engine area on my 03 Southwind with the 8.1. After several hours and a few cuts and scrapes I got the whole dog house & engine bay covered with B-Quite. I even did the under side of the fiberglass dash which was visable from under the front grill opening. I was amazed at how little insulation their was on some parts of the coach.
When done I knocked on the dash and doghouse access door the sound was much more solid. I drove it around and the engine sounds much more muffled, but the fan clutch never turned on and that is when the most noise is heard, so I dont really know how much of an improvment I have made yet. Same with the heat reduction as it takes a bit of a road trip to start feeling some heat through the floor.
Our next weekend trip is at the end of the month so I should have a better idea on how well the sound deadening helped.
