Here is a website that gives a fairly simple explanation on how mass loaded vinyl is supposed to work.

IMO, the weight of the stuff is the biggest reason NOT to use it in large quantities on and RV. Oh, in addition, it’s kinda pricey.
Ok, thanks.... I been reasearching this for the last week or so. I might use a little round the dash area to see how it helps but I havent decided yet.

I have several layers already so my RV is much quieter than stock. But I always keep my eye peeled for something new to add to it.
