Jack, you install it above the engine in the bedroom if you have a rear bedroom cuts out the engine noise its a great sound barrier

not to mention (1) it'll protect you from radiation! LOL! & (2) it'll provide more weight on the drives for traction

Can line the entire bedroom with it to protect against voyeurs with xray vision. That is, if you are not too old for it to matter.

My 06 was professionaly converted in the 70s and all flooring was underlined with lead, thats the way it was done in those days and very effective to, both heat and noise is reduced. Its about i/8 inch and runs front to back.>>>Dan

Several of us have used lead sheet sandwiched between plywood for our generator enclosures. The lead helps deaden the sound - same as over the engine.
Price of lead has really gone up lately (along with most of the metals we all use).

The price seems to be out of line. He is starting the bidding at $2.00/pound and the price for lead on the LME is $1.30/pound and the bid price for scrap lead is .85/pound in the US.

I would not use lead. Lead is a hazardous material and is hard to isolate in the building process. Lead is greasy to the touch and will spread through out your coach and clothing. If you use lead, get the grandkids tested when they start having tremors and be prepared for a lengthly recovery period away from the contamination.

The 98 Prevost H3-45VIP I gutted last year had lead sheets under the entire floor. It was the material between the frame and first layer of 3/4 inch plywood, which there was 2 layers, lapped and rotated. Very nice.
Don't know if they still use it, but I haven't seen it in their seated coaches.

Just to be a trouble maker, I am going to wrap my lead in asbestos and live longer than all of you.
Be aware, but be practical, they have their uses and have no equal replacements. They will always make lead and they will always make asbestos (yes it is still being made for special uses); till some one invents something better to replace it.

I was thinking that lead sheets might be good for in the back and above the genset but I was afraid of A: cost B: Weight and C: lead poisoning, of course you wouldn't be able to tell with me.
Isn't there another effective alternative?
