I have the Challenger 37ND
Engine noise - I also insulated my doghouse but I did it differently. I used Dynamat sound deadening first and then Dynamat hood insulation over the sound deadening material. I posted the project in another thread on the forum. I also plan on using the Dynamat sound deadening under the driver's floor to eliminate some of the road noise coming from this area. Here is the link to my sound deadening project

Rough ride - the Challenger ride is no rougher than my Class C was. I believe to get a smoother ride I would need to move to a diesel with air suspension.
Slides - the 3Trak system is only on select Challenger floorplans and it depends on the size of the slide. All 3 of my slides are 2 trak and with the exception of a wire coming loose during the shakedown cruise I haven't had any slide issues.
