gthomas55 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Hello, I’m new to the Excapees Club. I have a question for some of the Class C RVer’s. Does your Class C have a lot of noise while driving? Is this a normal thing? And, can anything be done about it? The reason I’m asking is we had recently completed a round trip to Omaha, NE 1300 miles) and it has left my head ringing, worse then the trucks I drive for work. Some background: we have a 2007 Winnebago Access, I use lock bars for the slide out, but the noise we get inside is high enough that we almost need to talk very loud to hear each other. I know road materials (concrete, asphalt), conditions of the road surface, and tires all make a difference but on smooth asphalt roads we still need to talk above normal volume. I’m looking to purchase sound deadening material to apply to the underside but trying to hold that in place is another issue. Any suggestions? Thanks Edited November 3, 2019 by Gthomas5 Typing errors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddF Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 I've seen you tube videos on installation of the sound deadening material. That would seem like a good first thing to try without a lot of cost. I've thought of doing it in my Minnie Winnie Ford E450 but haven't gotten around to it. The noise level is not bad enough to prod me into action at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 If you use the right materials it will also help to eliminate engine heat from the cab as well. I added insulation to our gas class A, using Thermo-Tec materials from Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noteven Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 The orange 3M earplugs will help while you research completing your vehicle.🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gthomas55 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Thanks Kirk for the product info I’ll check that out also. My idea was to put sound deaden material on the underside, a exterior grade foam insulation, cover it with corrugated plastic then get sound deaden sprayed on by Ziebart. Lol hope it will work, but if it doesn’t I do have a set of ear muffs when I use my air chisel that I can wear on our next long trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
