There are really three separate tasks in the video that covers this mod: https://youtu.be/wUf4d7I8TXw The first is installing FatMat Sound Deadener. I installed this in many other places inside Lance, and it really does help quiet things down. Lance was already one of the quietest ProMasters out there, so the benefit from this round wasn’t super huge, but you can judge for yourselves. At the end of the video, you can hear what it’s like driving at 60 miles per hour. I’m not wearing a lavalier mic in that shot, so you get the benefit of all the road noise. Most of the wind noise after this mod seems to be from the rearview mirrors. The second task is adding insulation. I did this in two ways. First, I stuffed insulation into any gaps, crevices, and openings I saw. Then, I applied insulation to the back side of the headliner before I reinstalled it. I thought that would be easier than sticking it to the ceiling, and I think it was the right call. The insulation I used was the more dense version of Rockwool (formerly Roxul). The final thing was the reassembly. This actually went better than I thought it would. I didn’t have any parts left over that I didn’t expect, and with the exception of one of the RV parts I had to trim up, the reassembly was the exact reverse of the disassembly. I’ll admit, I tried to make it look easy in the video. I mostly did that by editing out most of the swearing. There was a lot of it. This was a couple years ago, and you can see all the comments, questions, suggestions and discussion about it over here: https://www.thefitrv.com/rv-tips/insulating-the-pizza-oven-and-reinstalling-the-headliner/
