Galleria "noise" insulation. Is there any?

[ctarmor]

I own a 2015 ERA that I am thinking of trading in for a 2017/2018 Galleria. Compared to the Galleria, the ERA is the “Yugo” version of Class Bs (for those old timers).

One of many of my complains is the “road noise” and “bumpy” ride. The ERA has NO floor insulation, nevertheless, noise insulation. The wall insulation is a cheap sheet of 1/3” insulation foam. The ride is harsh, noise and there is not stability when a bit of wind.

Does the Galleria have any “noise” insulation like high end ones have (ie: Advanced RV)?

What about “winter” insulation?

As to the ride, is it harsh in the back? Do you bounce a lot?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Best insulated class B floor in the industry.

Actually my ERA rides nice and road noise is minimal. There is some creaking sounds in the coach I need to address when she goes in for her first oil change while under warranty.

I also have and era, and noise is around 70 db.. really loud. Stock handling is horrible.

I just installed konis front and back, hellwig sway bar 1.5in, and full alignment. It is day and night handling.

The Mercedes-Benz tech said that Sprinters are designed for temporary loads with the stock suspension. He said once you upfit with permanent weight, the van should be re-aligned and replace stock shocks with he heavy duty ones.

Winnebago did not do that with my 2015 Era. So it drove like crap. I always check at shows, and yp u can see the stock shocks, so Winnebago still cheap and drive like crap. I had this complain since i bought mine new.

He was correct. Now with the new hardware, it drives like a car. No more excesive swaying while driving. Passing trucks swaying is almost not existent.

All my parts were $1,400. Dealer labor was $1,000. I had mine done at Mercedez of Morriston, NJ. Great service. You can talk to the tech, or slrinter advisor.

Go to Youtube and check out Fit RV video on the Galleria.
