Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
I want to quiet down the engine noise coming from the engine under the dog house in my Gas MH. Which would be better for that, Dynamat Sound deadner, Dynamat Hoodliner or spray on Lizard Skin?? I have a 2016 Bounder. Been on a few trips and love the MH but would like to quiet down the engine noise and also heat from the motor. Thanks
To be honest, when we were full-timing, that's one of the reasons we went to a Diesel Pusher MH when our gas unit started giving us trouble. Never did manage to quiet that gasser down much.
Jim

I would use the DynaMat on the inside of the doghouse cover. If you really want to make sure it's as quiet as possible you would need to remove the carpet in the driving area and place DynaMat then reinstall the carpet.
The lizard skin is great if you can cover all of the areas in the engine compartment...it's better applied before the engine is installed.
Also check for any openings in the floor area that may need to be closed up better or insulated.
Another thing to check is the fan clutch if your engine is equipped with one. I had a fan clutch that stuck engaged and the noise coming from the fan was very loud. Replaced the fan clutch and the noise went away.
