Choosing the right motorhome: acoustic comfort and temperature control You are here : Home / Choosing the right motorhome: acoustic comfort and temperature control Choosing the right motorhome: acoustic comfort and temperature control Here at Pilote, we know that the feeling of well-being created by a motorhome’s interior comes not only from its design and ergonomics, but also from its temperature control. This sense of comfort depends not only on the temperature, but also on the humidity conditions and interior air quality and flow. Your comfort depends as much on correct sealing as it does on theinsulation or heating system of your vehicle. Insulation Insulation is one of the most important technical aspects concerning motorhomes. We trust in Styrofoam® extruded polystyrene foam, which is characterised by its closed-cell structure. This Styrofoam structure boasts soundproofing properties that reduce exterior noise while driving and stopped. Extremely light and resistant to both compression and moisture, Styrofoam also provides true thermal comfort be it summer or winter, thus ensuring reasonable energy consumption for heating and air conditioning.
