Lowes, Home Depot, etc sells a product that does virtually the same thing for way less money:

Read some of the reviews. People are using it the same way as Dynamat and getting the same results for a fraction of the cost.

Hello Bob and all - I have used Second Skin audio to deaden sound in the cockpit. I can have a normal conversation with someone in the passenger seat with the stereo on, going 70mph. I applied Damplifier (like dynamat) to the bare floor and engine hatch, then Luxury Liner Pro on top. Very easy with the seats out, and I ran it up the sides. Only challenge was the extra 3/8" to the floor, so I had to shave the bottoms of the cockpit side panels. Hope that helps.

Bob, I did some research on a lot of these types of products when I renovated my Royale. I used a product called Megamat(by Fatmat)and it was rated very close to Dynamat but was a lot less money. This is there website: http://www.fatmat.com. This is a butyl product and does not produce the unpleasant odor that many similar products do. I am very happy with the results I got. It reduces engine noise and heat considerably. I used it from the firewall back to the door. If I would have had the back half of the coach gutted, I would have done the entire floor. Hope this gives you some ideas.

When I remodeled the front half of our coach, I used 2 types of Edead,
one is for low frequencies and one for high. I put in on the entire
floor from the firewall back to the door and 2' up the sides including
the cab sides. In my opinion it works great!

I installed this product on the underside while the drive train was out. Added aluminum strips at the seams with mechanical fasteners to ensure it would stay put. More than happy with the results

I did the entire drive deck with Fatmat (an equal) and I'm thrilled. So much that it's going under the rest of the floor.
Don't forget to do the panels under the toll windows.

Good idea Dolph, I did supplement the insulation with 1/2" polystyrene and the doublebubble, but the sound deadener would work better for road noise.
One other thing I did...I took a Walmart oil drip pan, 2'x3' and screwed it to the underside of the floor using 1" spacers, then filled the void with fire stop expanding foam...be sure to support the metal well do the foam doesn't distort it. This protects my floor from the heat of the mufflers.

It's the same as the roofing material.
