Hello,
I tried to contact Chuck Botts directly via eMail and PM, both didn't work, so here comes a plain forum message, input from others is greatly appreciated as well:
I read your article (http://gmcws.org/blog/silent-running-how-to-reduce-engine-noise-by-chuck-botts/) about using Silent Running SR-500 on your cockpit's
floor.
No idea, when you did it, but are you still satisfied with the results,
or would you do something different nowadays?
Best regards

Hi Oliver, We used the Silent Running applying it with their spray gun. We then used Soundown 2 lb per foot 1/2" carpet underlayment. It has done a pretty good job of abating the Diesel clatter which is considerably more pronounced than the gas motor noise. The silent Running is really better at reducing noise from a metal panel which tend to act as a drum. I can't give you an answer as to it's effectiveness alone. The down side of the Soundown is the weight. At 2 lbs a sq foot, we've added near 150 lbs to the front of the coach. It's also a bit expensive and heavy to transport.

Thanks guys for the heads up - now I just need to convince the seller to find someone who doesn't charge three times the products price for shipping to Germany. Maybe Parcel Monkey will come to the rescue. I'll keep you posted.

Hi Peer,
ASK, Yves Chung, from Belgium, he has on a regular base, shipments by container coming in for his company from the US.
He offered at our GMC Europe meeting to facilitate the transport of bigger and heavy items to Europe that way.
If you are not in a hurry ...
He is in our GMC Europe WhatsApp Group also.
BTW Peter Vierwind, had used a terrific product, it worked very well.
Plywood, with in between a sort of rubber, sound dampening material, used in the floors of big travel busses. Ask him for details. He is also at the WhatsApp group.
Bye, Daniel
