The blower for the generator cooling was not working, since I had to remove it to work on it, I decided to redo the bay while I was at it. I stripped everything out and added 1 1/2" Styrofoam insulation to the tire side of the bay and also on the top of the bay. I added 1/2" polystyrene to the bottom and to the back wall. I then covered the foam with 14 gauge aluminum diamond plate. I was going to replace the motor on the blower but then read a post from Tom I believe, where he replaced the old brass bushing blower with a blower with ball bearings. I think I will pursue this route, I too like everything as quite as possible.

i love the look of the diamond plate. awesome!
btw, i replaced the blower itself, my motor was fine. it was ball bearing on the shaft for the squirrel cage that i wanted.

Thank you for all the replies, I have since made brackets for the gas strut and the solenoid valve for the generator slide. Hope to get the blower back in if it ever quits raining.
