Doghouse/Genset Insulation?

[Scott Forman]

Both my doghouse and me genset compartment need re-insulating. I have
made a couple attempts so far, utilizing insulation purchased from JC
Whitney and the spray-on adhesive that comes with it. So far, I have
not had much luck getting the adhesive to hold.

Those of you who have done a re-insulation, what did you use?

Scott,

Probably the best adhesive for a high heat environment is 3M 8380. A bit
expensive but it does hold. I have also used Weldwood vinyl top cement.
Both are a contact cement and are designed to hold in high heat.

Hope this helps,

Hey Scott, Last October, I reinsulated the genset compartment with
heat/sound insulation. I used the 3M glue George is speaking about and
it worked pretty well for the side of the compartment. The top was a
different story! Of course you must really clean the area WELL or
nothing will stick..the previous glue, and grit and exhaust etc must be
removed. I still found that the weight of the insulation hanging from
the top and the vibration/heat allowed it to fall...I simply took self
taping screws with a fender washer and "drilled" them into the top of
the compartment. USE SHORT SCREWS!! you don't want to penetrate the
floor etc above.Use aluminum tape to seal edges and well still holding
great and I could not be happier.

George I bought all of the insulation for my 1982 FC35 from Soundown
Corp. I used 1" thick, 2 lbs. per sq ft vinyle/foam composite for
the generator and 2" thick, 2 lbs per sq ft composite insulation for
the dog house. They recommend 3M Super 77 spray on adhesive
insulation, sprayed in two coats at 90 degree angles to each other.
They also recommend capped pins for the horizontal runs, however I
chose not to use it because of the difficulty of penetrating the
heavy vinyl center barrier. Mine is right where it was installed
after a little over a year. The site has all of the recommended
installation instructions for you to download if you are considering
installing it. They also manufacture the under layment sound
absorption material for underneath the carpets in the coach. Mine has
it installed.
