What do members recommend for sound proofing/deadening for a traveller. I done a search and read some posts but still not sure what is the best material around.
I was thinking about covering the floor under the carpets and around the gearbox tunnel.
I'm also considering fitting replacement trim panels to the doors etc, but would like to make my own, but again not sure what covering to put on, say a hardboard base.
Thanks for any advice

I am using this stuff....http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300631437843? ... 1423.l2649
Cheaper than Dynamat and easily as good. Blocks out road noise, rattles and keeps heat in on cold days and out on hot.

Re: Sound proofing
Hi,
I used this stuff:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SOUND-INSULAT ... 519aa9f1bd
Cut to fit under the carpet, over the tunnel etc. Fits easily, works a treat. (And some left over, should you need it.)
Best wishes,
Mike.

Re: Sound proofing
Glad to help.
As to the door panels I've used leatherette in the past for panels, I've attached some links below. It's available in many colours, so you should find what you need. They may require a sample to match of course.
Best wishes,
Mike.
