Engine insulation

So, from what I’m reading all motorhomes are hot inside while traveling in hot weather ?

Yesssssssss, I think houses are the same way? ? Anything aboveground will get hot inside in hot weather.
Although Rvs are not as well insulated as most houses, they are considerably smaller in square feet, and easy to heat or cool. We had trouble keeping the cab cool, while traveling, in temperatures above 95 ..even with the little windshield fans going...So we opened the dividing curtains separating the cab from the rest of the RV, fired up the generator, waited 20-30 minutes for it to “make a field”, and turned on the house AC. Sometimes the temperatures hit the 100s even in September. With the house AC going, we were quite comfortable.

We have a 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom. The bedroom area gets extremely hot while driving. We know that the engine area needs new insulation but we are unsure what to use. Please advise as to the most efficient material to block engine heat from entering bedroom area.
Thank you very much.

We had a 2006 Winnebago Journey 36G... Bought it when it was six years old and sold it when it was 12 years old. Never had trouble with heat in the bedroom.
