Engine noise

I am looking at a Windsport 29M on Ford Chassis and wondering if there is a way to lessen the engine noise.
Thanks

You can lesson the engine on any vehicle. it just take some money.
I have bought Dynamat at best buy.
At best buy they would match prices even on amazon (as long as amazon was the seller)
That makes the "door kits"(what i bought) of dynamat almost half the shelf price.

My worthless two cents. Money is always a consideration. I also looked at that unit Very nice for the bucks. I was able to purchase a unit with double pane windows. Sound reduction is worth it if you can do it.

I super insulated the doghouse on my 1998 Pace Arrow. It made a major difference. I have not done the five star tune, But most of my customers said it made a big difference.

I lined the doghouse interior with Dynamat Xtreme and hoodliner, taping all the seams. Also put Dynamat under the plastic tray on top to damp down any vibration.

IMO it was worth the time and cost: Engine is less noisy especially when down shifted to higher RPMs. Noise quality is also improved by muffling the high frequencies.

Can’t say about the heat: Winter in Northern Michigan and ill take whatever meager heat the engine puts out.
