Re: Honda 2000 quiet box, I'm back!!
If you are truly concerned that you might catch the cardboard on fire, you can make homemade fire-retardant and spray your flammable materials, let them dry and then move forward. Here is a quick link to some mixes you might consider: Flame Retardant Mixes1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Back up camera recommendations?

The cheap ones would not make it from the back of the 30-foot TT to the front of the truck. And one of the cheap ones I tried kept failing due to water intrusion into the camera.924Views0likes0CommentsRe: Back up camera recommendations?

I joined to see what was really on the list, to find the local Wineries that allow overnight, and have not used it yet. I did look in my local area, and there were some commercial places and some places owned by people who just like to host other RV'ers. Here are the current statistics: Wineries 771 Farms 1546 Attractions 1194 Breweries & Distilleries 545 Golf Courses 0 Boondockers Welcome 3295 Total 7352 / 7789569Views0likes0CommentsRe: Towing with lifted truck; need assistance

I would call the folks at Propride and see what they suggest you can tow with one of their hitches. Their hitch will give you back the stability you have lost with your modifications at the cost of $ and some inconvenience when hitching. Not sure how any hitch could return any stability. You might sell the idea that it does not allow the trailer to further reduce stability but even that idea would have to go cheap. Quite right. The Propride or Arrow will not return stability to an already degraded towing platform, but since they reduce the issues introduced by the trailer, they require less stability from the towing platform and get you back to about the same place.416Views0likes0CommentsRe: Towing with lifted truck; need assistance

There are multiple sites that look for Adblock, uBlock Origin, and likely others and then block their content from you if you are running them. Lately, some sites have gotten even sneakier and put some of the content required for the page to operate on some of the sites where they keep their advertisements. Neither of the tools blocks content that is displayed in a reasonable manner. The net is this. If a site is unusable unless I turn off my ad blocker, I don't use it. There are too many alternatives that do not abuse the subscriber.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Honda 2000 quiet box, I'm back!!
Call these guys. https://soundown.com/ They can specify a product they sell that will be thinner and provide similar sound absorption to the rockwool based on material testing (nice folks to talk to). They are also located in FL so in most cases, you will get one-day shipping for free. Foam board is mostly worthless for sound absorption as it has insufficient mass. Drywall needs to be isolated from itself and other materials to get its full benefits using something like viscoelastic glue. Drywall also has a tendency to fail when it gets wet so unless you can keep it 100% dry it is a non-starter. Sheets of metal have a tendency to resonate with the vibrations of a generator so make sure to use some product to dampen the resonation (you can put your foam/wool against it). On the plus side, metal has great mass versus its thickness and mass is what absorbs sound. If you want to copy a working model so you know what you end up with will provide real benefit use the generator enclosures built for boats as your model. Specifically copy the ones built for Kohler 5e marine generators (sound shield). The Kohler units are gas motors running at 3600 rpm and are noisy as all get out. With the sound shield, you can actually seep in your boat. Their basic design is a metal box lined with sound-deadening foam (not the garbage you can get from homedepot or lowes). You will still have the vibration transmission issue, but as you pointed out you are starting with a quiet model and it sounds like just trying to get a few more DB off the top.1KViews0likes0Comments
