- You can reduce engine noise and heat in your RV with this simple fix. Is your motorhome engine loud? Does heat radiate through your motorhome doghouse? We had the same problem. In this video, we add the Dynamat hood liner to our 2021 Fleetwood Bounder. It was a simple motorhome DIY project that took about 2 hours to complete. If your RV cockpit is loud and you are tired of yelling across the cabin then check out our solution. This video will also show you how to remove the RV doghouse in a late model Fleetwood.
You can find Dynamat in our Amazon Store under RV utility. www.amazon.com...

I will try anything to quite the 7.3engine noise down, so this is one mod I will be doing on my 23 Bounder. Every time I stepped on that plastic strip I thought I broke it so nice to know it was the velcro making the crunching noise.
We thought the same! That crunch! Let us know how it works out.
I'm torn. Should I just do this alone or should I put a layer of sound deadening mat on first with a roller and then this hoodliner on top?
Definitely do the inside of hoodliner. For additional sound deadening some will also cover the floor near the engine.
how about put 2 layer pad , may be more better thanks talk about that on 18th thanks
Yes. We're thinking about placing more matting under the floor. But overall we are really pleased. We'll be heading into some mountains next week and that will be a really good test as the engine tends to scream going up hill. See you on the 18th!
also how do you like you Bounder? We have a Jamboree but want to go class a.
We have mixed feelings about our Bounder. Love the floor plan and so far the Ford Chassis has been great. But we've had over 40 problems and 3 years of repairs. Would have been great if our Bounder was better made.
When I had a class C, I also insulated my doghouse, it made a huge difference. However, I just used some Furnace insulation from Lowes and aluminum duct tape. Made a huge difference in heat and sound.
I have no idea why RV manufacturers don’t do this from the factory.
Hey, what camera did you film with? It looks great!!
Thanks 😊 We used our iPhones and a Sony ZV-1
@@AmpedtoGlamp oookay, thank you!!
Love u guys!
Ahhhh. Thank you! 😊 ❤️
Doesn't this need to be heat/fire resistance? Or is what you bought have that built into it?
Good question! The product we purchased had it built in.
Thanks, has it held up since you've installed it?@@AmpedtoGlamp
@trainme100 Yes! It's done very well!
GREAT upgrade!! We've had this exact idea, but I never would have thought of the template out of foil! 😂 I had to ask a few techs how to access the dog house on ours, and I'm glad it's not just us who thought this was a pain! 😬
This worked so well! We've seen a few videos where folks have extended the matting to below the entire cabin for an even quieter drive. What did you use for yours?
@@AmpedtoGlamp That's a great idea too, but I'm sure a lot of work and wiggling around underneath! We haven't yet installed this, but it's on the list! 😊
This DIY was a success! We got cooler temps and a quieter engine! You can find Dynamat Hoodliner in our amazon store: www.amazon.com/shop/ampedtoglamp. Let us know if you plan to try it.
I just love these two people. :)
Ahhh....thanks mike_behind_bars!
Those square screws are a Canadian invention manynyears ago caled Robertson. They are far less likely to strip and the screwdriver grips them for easy install. Canadians are annoyed by the archaic philips screws in the same way Americans dislike slotted screws
So the frustration is mutual. lol. We had no idea. Sounds like the reduced tendency to strip is quite the bonus.
Thanks for sharing! 😊
I got quite a few laughs watching you taking the cover off. Once again an informative and useful video.
Have y’all tried the 5 Star Tunning setup yet?
@harryharrington3139 Not yet. Our rig has been in the shop for various issues the past couple of months. Not sure if we're going to keep it.
I live in Canada and thought he encountered some special security screw when he didn't have a head that fits. I was surprised when he said it was square and I thought, who doesn't have a square bit? Every basic screwdriver kit in Canada includes Robertson and Phillips driver bits. It is strange that the US does not use the same basic bits for compatibility with other North American products.
if you contact five star tuning they have a tuner you plug in that gets you better gas mileage and reduces the high reving of the motor on the hill climbs. worth every penny and will pay for itself.
Never heard of it. We're going to check it out.
Great video, great Job! now, we all know that this noise and heat is an issue, and so does the manufacturer. So why does the manufacturer just spend a little extra for the CORRECT part and install it. Customers would be happier.
Great question! It's such a simple fix!
Another great video! When John started with the screwdriver, I thought, oh no! Thank goodness for the driver. Laughed out loud with the lack of a square screw bit. Something like that & Sherri's kitchen scissors are a regular occurrence when I start a project around the house.
Done, & no parts left over! 😂 Thanks again, it was so helpful because one thing I do know, if we end up with a class a it'll be a gasser or a fred, not a pusher.
Glad you enjoyed the vid! Still scratching our heads on the different types of screws used. The matting is still working well and its been 4 months. So much quieter and cooler. Thanks for watching!
I use my wife’s kitchen sissies as well, I guess it’s just one of those things haha.
Very well done with the template and liner. Very nice work.
Thank you! Don't tell my wife but some of her other kitchen utensils come in handy too! 🤭
When I had a class C, I also insulated my doghouse, it made a huge difference.
I have no idea why manufacturers don’t do this from the factory.
Fantastic video. Informative and enjoyable. Thanks so much for creating it and sharing it.
You're welcome 😊. Thanks for watching
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice job! Been waiting for this video..I thought another word was about to slip out when John said ‘Finally!’😂
🤣🤣🤣 Not John! 🤣. The dynamat worked so well! We can actually talk to each other while driving now.
Great Job Marine !!! Semper Fi !!!!!!!!!
Thanks! Semper Fi!
The part that I enjoyed the most was your exchange with the Comedy Channel engineers . Those people do not care at what you have to put up with. They just do it and you worry about it later.
So many better ways to engineer!
Great video showing how a simple modification can improve the RV. And the drinks stay cooler too!
Thanks John! Great name btw! This job was quick and mad a huge difference!
thanks how quiet is after installed the protector
It's noticeably better! We can have conversations at a normal speaking level while driving. Hills are still loud but no where near as bad. 7-10db difference.
Awesome DIY video!! :)
Thank you! We were so happy with the outcome! 😊
I think you did a wonderful job putting in the hood liner. I would not begin to think about doing this, especially us doing it. We have NOISE and HEAT coming from our doghouse. Now that you all did it, we may try it. Glad you got cooler temps and less noise. Thanks for sharing. Take care!
Yep, I want to learn how to get the doghouse cover off of our Itasca Suncruiser. This can become a project for us. Now, if we can just get @ampedtoglamp to tell us how to get that liner! How about it John? 😅😂
@Richard Cook well that's easy. It's in our amazon store 😊. www.amazon.com/shop/ampedtoglamp under RV utility
@Ray Byrd Thank you! We didn't know what to expect but it really wasn't too bad of a job.
6% reduction in noise, nice work! Could you tell a difference without the decibel meter?
Most definitely! Plus the console doesn't generate as much heat. Although it was good for keeping our coffee warm.
@@AmpedtoGlamp That’s great! I wouldn’t mind keeping my coffee warm, but my girlfriend would hate me for keeping her Diet Coke warm. Lol. Keep up the great videos.
Hey! Quick note on the noise reduction from 82 to 75 decibels: it's actually more significant than a 6% drop. Decibels work on a logarithmic scale, so a 7 dB decrease means the noise intensity was cut by about 5 times, not 6%. That's a pretty impactful reduction! Great to see such effective soundproofing.
@@elgreco2782 Thanks for sharing. We had no idea.
Great job👍🏽
Thank you! 😊
