George,
Here's a link to all the insulation that J.C. Whitney sells:

I bought the 1" thick sheets to put on top of the galvanized Onan box under
the passenger side bed.

Subject: [GMCnet] Generator Compartment Insulation
I'm in the process of replacing my old Onan generator with a Generac
Primepact 50. As the Hondas are NLA, it seems like a rational choice and
was nicely priced. I would like to get rid of the old, falling fiberglass
insulation that is currently lining the compartment. What is the
reccommended lining material for the compartment? I've seen pictures of
what I think is the foil faced rigid fiberglass insulation, but wanted to be
sure before I start buying something that won't work.
Also, I think that the compartment is lined in an aluminum box (my coach is
a 75 Palm Beach if that makes any difference), but I'm not sure as the
insulation is still in place. The Generac installation manual states you
should have a sheet steel lining, not aluminum. Has anyone has experience
with this?
ps. Removing the old Onan is a very messy job when it has 35 years of oil
and mud on it!
