Whitefish, with 3-D printers becoming more common these days, it would be nice if a headlight bezel be copied from the a good one or even made from the reverse image of a left bezel.

– Instrument gauges

2000 national trade winds 7373
Does anybody know who makes the Dash instrument gauges for national Tradewinds ?.
There is no manufacturer name anywhere front or back on the gauge. Just a barcode and the numbers.

The fuel gauge may be a Freightliner supplied part

All of the instruments should be Freightliner instruments is there a problem with one of them or all of them?

Galley Faucet Head at Home Depot

The hose fitting on the galley faucet sprayer in my 2004 Dolphin broke off inside the sprayer. I went to Home Depot thinking I would have to replace the entire faucet (at $100+) but on the aisle where they have repair parts I found a universal replacement head for about $8.00. It doesn't look exactly like the original, but unless you saw them side by side, you'd never know, and hose threads and everything fit perfectly without modification.

I'm working to getting satellite service in my 2003 National Tradewinds 375LE. I has an old crank up type dish on top, but I've decided to use a Dish Playmaker.
I've found an extra co-ax cable over the drivers seat and another end down below in the compartment where the fuses are. I cant get continuity through both ends.
Is that supposed to be the cable for the outside antenna?
Thanks,
Wm Mayberry

I just went through this with my 2004 Dolphin. When I got my rig I found three disconnected coax cables up in the entertainment cabinet. One of them went back to the jack in the left-rear compartment, one went to the front TV and I'm not sure where the third went, but I assume it went to the original roof dish, which I'm not using. I'm also using a Dish Playmaker now with a Wally receiver. I connect it to that jack in the rear compartment. I used to do network cable installations and used one of my old tone generators to figure out which cable went to the rear compartment.

I had to buy an inexpensive adapter from Amazon to convert the HDMI signal from the Wally to the original RCA TV.

I said above that the replacement sprayer was $8.00, but I must have had brain fade. The correct price was $23.24. Here's a link to the part:

Looks like I'm going to need someone that knows to take a look.
Thanks for your experience.

Do you still have the box of many buttons? (BOMB). That’s probably where they all terminated to, also you probably had Winegard Batwing style HD crank up antenna originally, which I still have both ant they work well even with my King Dish TailGater.
