Sure, that sounds like something I may be interested in.  Who are you getting this stuff through?

I got mine from Eagle in Brownsville Tx but you can get them from a lot of different places you may be able to find one at a rv surplus because they use them in Monocos and different motor homes custom instruments may also have it they are neat

We got an new dash panel from Custom Insturments.  It was OK.  The layout wasn't as user friendly as it could have been.  They installed a momentary switch for the fast idle, the keyed starter switch never worked, the headlight switch wasn't any good and their instructions for installing the gauges was pretty much useless.  The tach they used was the wrong type and we had to replace it.  If you do the dash make sure you have all the wiring diagrams to your coach and you can figure them out.  The dash looks good and the problems were resolved.  And it was really expensive, which I didn't mind until all the problems came up.
